[NATIONALREVIEW] Akash Mehta of the New York Focus reported on Thursday afternoon that Andrew Sonny Cuomo ...former Dem dynastic governor of Noo Yawk, the son and heir of the late Mario Cuoma and formerly married to a Kennedy. Acclaimed for his leadership during the COVID epidemic, he managed the nation's highest corpse count while successfully hiding the returns and writing a book praising himself. Among the nation's horniest politicians, he had about a dozen allegations of sexual harrassment and groping against him when he resigned... , the former governor of New York, had been charged with forcible touching, with NBC News and the New York Post later confirming the same.Mehta claimed to have been told as much by a clerk with the Albany Criminal Court. Reached for comment, another clerk for court declined to confirm the same, telling National Review to "call back tomorrow" for confirmation. Mehta also noted that "a secretary at the Albany County Sheriff’s office said he was unaware of filed charges but that he had not spoken to the criminal justice investigation’s team."
The Albany Times Union’s Brendan Lyons is asserting that the charges were filed erroneously, explaining that a "summons was issued without the consent of the alleged victim, Brittany Commisso, or her attorney, Brian D. Premo."
According to Lyons, a sheriff’s investigator "met with a City Court official on Thursday to receive ’guidance’ if the department were to file a complaint. It’s unclear what happened after that, but a person briefed on the matter and not authorized to comment publicly said that someone in City Court issued the summons."
However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... both Tom Winter of NBC News and Bernadette Hogan, the New York Post’s Albany Bureau chief, are reporting that Cuomo has indeed been charged, with Hogan citing a named front man, Lucian Chalfen.

"No one will ever say that my government was one where there was a toxic workplace environment” Andrew Cuomo

She said, he said. Sorry. I have no sympathy for Cuomo but I don't think the plaintiff here has a very strong case. Too bad the nursing home scandal will never be fully investigated.

[THEEPOCHTIMES] Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, Jimmy Patronis, suggested that In-N-Out Burger should move to the Sunshine State after several In-N-Out locations were shut down by Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, officials.Patronis appealed to In-N-Out CEO Lynsi Snyder to move to the state, arguing that Florida has a superior business climate—noting the state has no personal income tax, low corporate taxes, and no mandates.
"I’m writing you today not only as Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, but as a small business owner who grew up in a family-owned restaurant and worked there for more than 30 years," his letter reads. "I know how hard it is to turn a profit and make payroll on a good day, let alone when your own government is working to crush your business with absurd mandates. Once I heard the news of your shutdown for refusing to act as ’vaccine police,’ I knew I had to reach out immediately."
It came as health officials in Contra Costa County, Calfornia, shut down another In-N-Out Burger location for allowing indoor dining without checking customers for proof of vaccination, coming after a location was closed in nearby the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... for a similar reason.
Contra Costa County District 1 Supervisor John Gioia claimed that In-N-Out’s staff in Pleasant Hill "have just flouted the law."
"It was other residents who complained about them," he told ABC7. "That is why the health department followed up and issued fines."
The Contra Costa Environmental Health said in a news release the commercial food permit for the Pleasant Hill location was suspended Tuesday "for creating a public health hazard by repeatedly violating a county health order intended to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission."
"Despite repeated notices of violation and fine, this business continued to permit indoor dining on site without verifying the COVID-19 vaccination status or recent, negative test result of customers," the blurb from Contra Costa health officials also said.
The restaurant chain, which has numerous locations across the West Coast, said its staff will not check the vaccination status of customers.
"The reason for the closure is that In-N-Out Associates were not actively demanding vaccine documentation and photo identification from each dine-in Customer before serving them," In-N-Out Chief legal officer Arnie Wensinger said in a statement to local media after the Contra Costa location was closed.
"We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government," he added. "It is unreasonable, invasive, and unsafe to force our restaurant Associates to segregate Customers into those who may be served and those who may not, whether based on the documentation they carry, or any other reason."
Wensinger continued to say that the chain doesn’t agree "with any government dictate that forces a private company to discriminate against customers who choose to patronize their business."
The move comes about two weeks after another In-N-Out Burger in San Francisco’s Fisherman Warf was closed down for allowing indoor dining without having its staff check whether they’re vaccinated or not. A vaccine passport mandate was implemented in San Francisco earlier this year by Democrat Mayor London Breed, and similar systems have been implemented in New York City, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and several other U.S. cities.

It's a huge market. Most of the players won't abandon it, and none of them will have a problem with one or two of their competitors doing so. As for Florida, I wish Raising Cane's would open some locations here. I love that stuff...

In-N-Out burger joints in California are gold mines. They have cars lined up for blocks before lunch time to buy hamburgers. I was in one recently and surprised to see they have actual white teenagers working there...kinda like all burger places were in the 50's, 60's and 70's. Back then it was an entry level job for kids to get a little spending money and a taste of the working world. It was never meant to be a career that would allow illegal aliens to buy homes and support their families. California's loss will be Florida's gain.

Simple menu, quality ingredients, austere but functional physical plant, wholly owned locations, carefully researched demographic site selection, loyal customer base built by decades of consistent quality service. Traditional American business concepts from the zenith of American business models.

In-N-Out also pays their staff well and they seem happy. Perhaps it's because the management has a religious basis?
Recently, Lynsi Snyder, the only grandchild of In-N-Out founders Harry and Esther Snyder spoke with The Christian Post about the fast-food chain and her own understanding of religion. From the outside, it may look like she has it all, including billions of dollars; however, that money came from loss. Her uncle, Richard Snyder, died in a plane crash in 1993 and her father, H. Guy Snyder, died of an accidental drug overdose in 1999, causing her at age 28 to become president of the company and sole owner when she turned 35.
Religion has always played a big role in the fast food restaurant. According to Lynsi Snyder in her interview with CP, "It was my uncle Rich who put the Bible verses on the cups and wrappers in the early '90s, just before he passed away," she recalled. "He had just accepted the Lord and wanted to put that little touch of his faith on our brand. It's a family business and will always be, and that's a family touch."
Shortly after his death and the death of her father, Lynsi added bible verses to the fry boats, coffee cups, and hot cocoa cups along with the burger wrappers to reflect the company's beliefs.

[BIZPACREVIEW] The Mankato, Minnesota school board is outrageously requiring parents to doxx themselves by stating their home address before they can speak at a meeting and they have, in essence, banned all criticism of school board officials as well.The chair of the board for Mankato Area Public Schools Jodi Sapp made the new rules crystal clear before calling on parents at an Oct. 18 forum. Parents were told they could speak for three minutes only if they gave their name and full address. They were also advised that they were prohibited from addressing individual school board members.
"I just want to remind everybody this is a business meeting of the school board, it is not a meeting that belongs to the public," she began.
"Before the open forum, I would like to review a couple of things," Sapp stated. "Each speaker is asked to state his or her name and address for the record. Failure to do so will result in an individual not being allowed to speak."
Alpha News first reported the new rules which were put in place following "behavior by some of the members of the public" that Sapp deemed "unacceptable."
"Effective tonight, open forum participants are prohibited from calling out or addressing any individual school board or school district staff member. If this occurs, open forum will be closed," Sapp noted before the public forum segment began.

What happens when a "small town democracy" becomes a bureaucracy so corrupt that there is no mutual trust?
The requirement that a citizen addressing the meeting, which has a schedule and limited time for speakers, be a citizen of that area seems just and prudent. Would you like a bus load of 'activists' to indulge in a "out-of-towner filibuster" at your meeting? It was different when everybody knew everybody and strangers were shown the door.
But in the current climate the school boards seems to be composed of transplanted "out-of-towner activists' and trust is dead... Sad, truly sad.
The wife an I priced out the cost of flying down to Mexico having a 2 week vacation. Getting separated in El Paso and filling to collection $450K each... We both speak Caribbean Spanish, and she is a Taíno Indian.

Un-f--king-believable.
This government truly is becoming an alien occupying force.
Consider what's going on here: Our government is about to deliver nearly 4x this nation's median net worth to a group of criminals who have broken our laws and have no right to even be present in this country.
This is so absurd, it's wrenching. Stomach-turning.
I'm really beginning to hate these bastards.
The U.S. Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering payments that could amount to close to $1 million a family, though the final numbers could shift, the people familiar with the matter said

[FOXNEWS] The president of a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, school district was caught cursing on a hot mic during a school board meeting Tuesday, after a parent gave a speech knocking masks in classrooms and COVID-19 vaccination mandates for students.
Lauren Roupoli, who called herself a concerned parent, addressed the Los Alamitos Unified School District Board of Education and spoke about the problems she perceives are involved with enforcing a mask mandate in children.
Her belief is that any possible benefit is far outweighed by the risks.
In her fiery ...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob... speech, she accused one board member of criticizing parents for voicing their legitimate concerns. She drew applause when she said, "We are vocal because we are our children’s biggest advocates."
Her comment apparently did not sit well with Marlys Davidson, the board’s president, who was picked up on a hot mic saying, "F--- you," during the applause.
KTLA reported that Davidson issued an apology and said the public must be "heard with respect."
"I reaffirm my commitment to serve our community with dignity and integrity, and I hope they will accept my sincere apology," she said. She did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News.
Roupoli told the station that Davidson should step down.
California has a statewide mask requirement that affects about 6.7 million students. The requirement is backed by the state’s largest teachers' unions and the California Association of School Boards.
The argument from parents opposed to vaccines for children is that they see the long-term side effects as unknowns. They also say these mandates infringe upon their freedoms.

Send them to Houston, New Orleans, and Jacksonville - all 3 of those are major ports with the infrastructure to handle containers and plenty of rail connections to "inland ports" for distribution across the USA - Houston to the west coast, New Orleans up the Mississippi to the mid-america, and Jax to the east coast.

[NYPOST] The FDNY is preparing to shutter as many as 20 percent of all Big Apple fire companies — and take an equal portion of its ambulances off the streets — ahead of the impending deadline for all city workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
On Wednesday, the FDNY said just 65 percent of its firefighters, fire officers and EMS workers had been vaccinated despite Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him... ’s order that all city workers receive at least one dose or face suspension without pay on Monday.
"The Department must manage the unfortunate fact that a portion of our workforce has refused to comply with a vaccine mandate for all city employees," Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said in a statement later Wednesday.
"We will use all means at our disposal, including mandatory overtime, mutual aid from other EMS providers and significant changes to the schedules of our members," Nigro continued. "We will ensure the continuity of operations and safety of all those we have sworn oaths to serve."
The commissioner didn’t assess the likely result of the potential moves, but one FDNY firefighter offered a grim prediction: "People will die in this city."

[Daily Caller] Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of the most prominent Republican critics of former President Donald Trump, announced his retirement from Congress Friday.
Kinzinger was one of 10 Republicans to vote to impeach Trump in January for inciting an attack on the Capitol as Congress met to certify President Joe Biden’s victory. He and Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney are the only Republicans serving on a select committee investigating the events of that day, and the panel has not ruled out subpoenaing Trump to testify before it.
Kinzinger praised his nine Republican colleagues who joined him in impeaching Trump, did not rule out a run for future office. He is expected to continue leading Country First, his political action committee that he formed earlier in 2021 in a bid to lessen Trump’s grip on the GOP.
His announcement also came just hours after Democrats in the Illinois legislature released another congressional map for the next decade. They have complete control over the redistricting process and have weighed how heavily to gerrymander the state’s districts, and the most recent map would have had Kinzinger facing off against fellow Republican Rep. Darin LaHood in one of just three GOP seats.

Raj, You truly understand American Politics of The XYZ and Millennial Generations; Have you considered running for Political Office in your State - "The Commonwealth of Massachusetts" ?
Talk about the "Candidacy of Raj" tm - Move over Shock & Awe - Raj is Here...
[BREITBART] Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) proposed Thursday to axe unused government programs in her latest proposal to eliminate federal waste, fraud, and abuse.
As Democrats remain poised to vote on trillions of dollars of infrastructure spending, Ernst discussed the need to eliminate unused government funding to reduce the federal deficit.
The Iowa conservative noted that the U.S. Enrichment Corporation Fund, which she said fulfilled its mission to privatize nuclear enrichment decades ago, still receives $1.5 billion in taxpayer funding.
The Presidential Election Campaign Fund has not supported a single candidate in five years but still has $400 million in idle funding. Ernst said tens of millions are added every year.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires every state to offer health insurance plans through the Multi-State Plan, which costs tens of millions of dollars to administer and does not provide coverage in any state due to lack of participation from any state.
Arkansas was the only state to even attempt to participate with the Multi-State Plan but did not end up administering a Multi-State Plan.
Subsequently, Ernst sponsored legislation to repeal these three programs.
Ernst also proposed the Zombie Programs Survival Guide Act, which would require the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to provide a hit list of other government programs that continue past their lifespan.
Asked by Breitbart News as to why Democrats would pursue billions of dollars in tax increases to pay for their infrastructure bills rather than find government waste, Ernst said:
It takes a lot of work to ferret out waste, fraud, abuse, potential savings, from the federal government, and they don’t want to do that. I mean, it’s just it is easier to raise taxes on the American taxpayer and just force everybody to pay for these programs rather than doing the right thing. And I get so discouraged when I see that type of activity, knowing there are solutions out there; we’ve got to work for those solutions. I think people would appreciate Congress much more if they knew we were really paying attention to their dollars rather than being so wasteful.

[MSN] Even in this white-hot partisan moment, the Senate is a pretty genteel place. Senators view themselves as part of a very elite club -- and tend to treat fellow members with kid gloves.
Which is why what Washington Sen. Patty Murray ... Senator-for-life (D) from Washington state, reputedly not the sharpest intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body. To hear Patty tell it, if we'd built roads and bridges like Osama bin Laden had 9-11 never would have happened... (D) said on Wednesday about fellow Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin ...Dem senator-for-life from West Virginia. Manchin is one of the approximately one Dem senators who exhibits more integrity than Jello, often even representing his constituents... all the more eye-opening about the current state of affairs in the world's greatest deliberative body.
"We're not going to let one man tell all the women in this country that they can't have paid leave," Murray said.
What she was referring to was the apparent decision by the White House and congressional negotiators to drop a provision in President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter. He blames Trump for losing Afghanistan.... 's social safety net legislation that would offer four weeks of paid family and medical leave to all Americans.
The provision was -- and is -- considered absolutely essential to many liberals who note that America is one of only six countries in the world without some sort of national paid leave program.
But Manchin seemed to nix it on Wednesday. "I just can't do it," he said of supporting paid leave. "To expand social programs when you have trust funds that aren't solvent, they're going insolvent. I can't explain that. It doesn't make sense to me. I want to work with everyone as long as we can start paying for things. That's all. I can't put this burden on my grandchildren. I've got 10 grandchildren ... I just can't do it."
New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand ...Machine non-entity selected to become the successor to Hillary Clinton as Senatrix-for-Life from Noo Yawk. She is running for the Dem presidential nomination in 2020. She has no observable principles, will apparently say anything to anyone, and seemingly lacks any personality of her own.... , a prominent voice in the Senate in favor of the measure, insisted that she would continue the fight. "I'm not giving up and I'm not going to give up until the deal is signed," she said Wednesday.
Which, well, maybe.
The rancor directed at Manchin by Murray stands in stark contrast to the way Biden has approached the moderate senator from West Virginia. Biden has been very careful not to name-call or express any public frustration with Manchin or Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who has also been resistant to the hefty price tag that the social safety net measure carries. At a CNN ...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for... town hall last week, Biden was positive about Manchin, arguing that he's "not a bad guy. He's a friend."
Murray took a different tack on Wednesday, the latest sign that his colleagues -- especially those on the liberal left -- are getting fed up with Manchin and his likes and dislikes when it comes to the domestic spending plan in Congress.
That said, it's not clear whether Murray's frustration will, well, do anything. Manchin represents a state Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... won overwhelmingly in 2020 and being regarded by liberals as too conservative is good for his politics back home. Plus, the White House badly needs Manchin's vote, with Democrats only controlling 50 votes in the Senate they can't afford to lose even a single one if they want to find a way to get this measure and Biden's $1.2 trillion "hard" infrastructure plan passed -- and soon.

"We're not going to let one man tell all the women in this country that they can't have paid leave," Murray said.
People like Murray and Sanders keep talking about Manchin and Sinema as if they are just two senators standing in the way of what the whole country wants. That's not true. Manchin and Sanders are two out of 100 senators and a vice-president who can break a tie. But that's typical of the dishonest and misleading way that Democrats always speak.

[FOXNEWS] Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe's campaign raised eyebrows by spending nearly $60,000 to hire a high-profile attorney known for criminal masterminding election-related legal challenges. When Fox News sent the campaign a request for comment, the McAuliffe campaign scrambled to "kill" the story, according to emails mistakenly sent to Fox News.
Less than a month before Election Day, McAuliffe's campaign spent $53,680 on the services of the Elias Law Group, a firm that Marc Elias started earlier this year, Fox News previously reported. Elias had formerly worked as a partner at the law firm Perkins Coie, which the Crooked Hillary Clinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do... campaign hired in 2016 in order to conduct opposition research on Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... — research that included the infamous Remington Christopher Steele dossier. Republicans have accused Elias of lying to hide the Clinton campaign's role in funding the dossier.
Elias has represented Democrats in efforts to contest elections. Going into the 2020 election, he represented Democrats challenging a Texas law barring "straight-ticket voting."
House Republicans accused Elias of having a "serious conflict of interest" when he represented Iowa Democratic candidate Rita Hart in her effort to overturn the results of her extremely narrow loss to Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks. GOP members House Administration Committee said that Elias had a conflict because he and Perkins Coie — where he still worked at the time — also represented half of the Democratic committee members who would be deciding the case.
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley wrote that McAuliffe hiring Elias is an "astonishing move."
"There are a host of election lawyers but McAuliffe selected an attorney accused of lying to the media, advancing rejected conspiracy theories, and currently involved in a major federal investigation that has already led to the indictment of his former partner," Turley wrote.
"McAuliffe may be preparing to challenge any win by Republican Glenn Youngkin," he wrote on Twitter.

Astonishing indeed in light of Durham may not be done with Elias.
[NYPOST] The Vatican’s press office on Thursday canceled plans to broadcast livestream video of President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S., who gives the term geriatric a bad name. He blames Afghans for losing Afghanistan....... meeting on Friday with Pope Francis ...Argentine liberation theologist, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He was elected pope in 2013. Rather than setting up shop in Avignon, where he belongs, the first Jesuit Pope chose to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse instead of the papal apartments. He is big on climate change, against consumerism, and in favor of throwing a blanket over homosexual activity (so to speak) within the clergy. He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess... and now will only broadcast the arrival of Biden’s motorcade.
It’s unclear if the White House, already under fire for limiting press access to Biden, requested that the broadcast be curtailed. Spokespeople did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
White House Correspondents’ Association President Steven Portnoy said the organization disagrees with the new plan to give journalists edited footage after the meeting.
"Reporters have been covering the papal audiences of American presidents since Woodrow Wilson sat [with] Benedict [XV] in January 1919," tweeted Portnoy, a news hound for CBS News Radio. "Our fully vaccinated [and] masked pool of news hounds is ready to continue this public service, mindful of its own safety as well as the leaders’, to ensure independent coverage of the first Catholic president in 60 [years] meeting with the head of the Catholic church."
Portnoy added: "The [White House] told us the bilateral meeting would involve Biden [and] Francis discussing substantive matters of global significance ’including ending the COVID-19 pandemic, tackling the climate crisis, and caring for the poor.’ Such an international news event demands independent coverage."
The News Agency that Dare Not be Named reports that the Vatican for years has streamed video of the pope’s meetings with visiting world leaders.
Biden is the second Catholic president and has met with Pope Francis on three previous occasions, though not as president. The visit follows a meeting this month between Francis and House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments... (D-Calif.).
The pope, 84, has dismissed a push by more conservative US bishops to deny Communion to Catholic politicians who support legal access to child sacrifice abortion, such as Pelosi and Biden. The US bishops will meet next month to discuss the idea.
Press-access issues plagued Biden’s first foreign trip to Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... in June. US news hounds were abruptly disinvited from covering a meeting between Biden and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... ’s authoritarian leader His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important... — leaving US news hounds relying on Erdogan’s press office for information. And Biden watched in apparent amusement as Russian President Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... ’s security team shoved US news hounds out of an introductory pool spray.

Faith in Communism. The morals of a panty-sniffer.
Biden then presented the coin to Francis, pointing out the US Seal on the front and the emblem for the 261st Signal Brigade unit in the Delaware Army National Guard that Biden's son, Beau, served in on the back. "I know my son would want me to give this to you," he said.
"Now the tradition is, and I'm only kidding about this," Biden said as he put the coin into the Pope's hand. "If next time I see you and you don't have it, you have to buy the drinks."
"I'm the only Irishman you've ever met who's never had a drink," he quickly added, to which the Pope responded through his translator that Irish people "love whiskey."

What it means is that the question is off the table. Not being a democratic institution, it's sort of like a judge who says 'that can not be entered as evidence'. Consider its the Vatican's exclusionary rule.
