Andrew Giuliani hit in face with flower pot near Penn Station
He has to be better than any of the Democratic candidates as a matter of principle.
[NYPOST] GOP gubernatorial candidate Andrew Giuliani was hit in the face with a flower pot as he tried to break up a fight near Penn Station.

The 35-year-old son of former Mayor Rudy Giuliani told The Post he witnessed a man and a woman having a violent mostly peaceful confrontation last Saturday on 28th Street as he walked to a meeting with Gavin Wax, president of the New York Young Republicans.

"I got between the two of them," Giuliani said. "He had a flower pot. I think it was intended for her but it hit me on the left side of the face. Thankfully it was a plastic pot and not a clay pot. The soil mostly hit me. But I wan’t expecting it. It was a little bit of a shock."

The candidate said he heard the woman screaming "you leave me no money bitch," shortly before the man took a swing at her. Giuliani said the man also threatened to "beat the s—t" out of him as he started calling 911.

Cops arrived on the scene about 15 minutes later and a police report was filed.

"There are no arrests at this time," an NYPD spokesperson said. Giuliani said he was asked to look at a police photo array of possible suspects. He fingered one of them but told cops he couldn’t be 100% sure.

Locals in the area say the uptick in crime has been noticeable over the last five years. The incident was not far from where a violent mostly peaceful perv slashed a man who confronted him about masturbating in front of his wife just days earlier.

New Virginia AG Fires 30 Staff Members Prior To Taking Office
[Daily Caller] Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares fired 30 staff members, 17 of whom were attorneys, Friday, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Virginia’s new Attorney General has just fired the entire civil rights division in the AG office and announced that he will prosecute criminal cases in jurisdictions where Soros DAs decline to prosecute.

He is also the first PoC Attorney General in Virginia history! pic.twitter.com/cLKHvnoNNQ

— Dr. Benjamin Braddock (@GraduatedBen) January 15, 2022

Miyares was sworn into the position of Virginia Attorney General on Jan. 15 alongside Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

"During the campaign, it was made clear that now Attorney General-elect Miyares and Attorney General Herring have very different visions for the office," Miyares spokesperson Victoria LaCivita said, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. "We are restructuring the office, as every incoming AG has done in the past."

Admin Threatens to Rescind COVID Funding From Arizona Over Anti-Mask Mandate Rules
[Epoch Times] The Biden administration issued a letter to Arizona threatening to take back COVID-19 relief funds sent to the state, saying Arizona’s provisions discourages schools from mandating masks.
Delighting Blue States and irritating Red States everywhere. The Great Uniter.
In a letter (pdf) sent Jan. 14, the Treasury Department warned Arizona state that it has 60 days to remove or redesign the anti-mask-mandate provisions the Biden administration deems "inconsistent with the purpose and requirements" of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) program.
In 60 days, no one will care as the pandemic winds down.
Failure to do so "may result in Treasury initiating an action to recoup SLFRF funds used in violation of the eligible uses," and the department "may also withhold funds from the State of Arizona’s second tranche installment of SLFRF funds."

Crimefighter exodus: Manhattan prosecutors flee DA office after Bragg takes helm
[NYPOST] Prosecutors in soft-on-crime Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office are flooding the exits amid his "radical shift in policy," The Post has learned.Bragg’s controversial "Day One" memo issued on Jan. 3 told assistant district attorneys to not seek prison sentences for many criminals and to downgrade some felonies to misdemeanors. His leadership has already created a firestorm that has led to an online petition calling for him to be removed.

"I know one [ADA] who was with the office over 20 years who left without a job," said a law enforcement source. "They didn’t want to work in this kind of office. They wanted to continue prosecuting the law."

Over the past two weeks, at least a dozen lawyers have quit.
Not all Democrats are his kind of Democrat even today, it appears. It’s like he’s the Kamala Harris of New York City.
Among the departures is senior trial counsel Joan Illuzzi-Orbon, who successfully prosecuted Harvey Weinstein, and won a 2016 conviction in the infamous 1979 murder of Etan Patz.

Illuzzi-Orbon, a Republican, had been at the office since 1988, taking only a brief leave in 2015 for an unsuccessful run for District Attorney in Staten Island.
Technically not a Democrat then, making her survival in the job until now even more impressive.
