Go to any social media platform these days (Maybe not Bluesky. I’m not on it so don’t know, but this could explain quite a bit.) and you will see some version of a video of New York governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) mocking her wealthy, tax-averse constituents with the 2022 taunt, “Jump on a bus and … Read more

I was born in New England but grew up in Upstate New York, which is everything north of ‘The City.’ Finger Lakes region. The boonies to the burroughs, though not so … Read more

The New Manhattan Island “Toll”

December 8, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The goal is to get people to give up their mobility, which coincides both practually and culturally with the idea of freedom—the right to travel without papers anywhere in the nation. But if you want to enter Manhattan, it will cost you a lot more, thanks to a new mobility control plan.

Gov Hochul’s Hitler Youth Program

November 29, 2023 Steve MacDonald

In my headline, I was going to suggest that what you are about to read was the first phase equivalent of New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s Hitler Youth program, but that ship sailed long ago. Schools have been cauldrons of partisan indoctrination for years. So what’s this then?

Judge Said No, But Heil Hochul Still Wants Her Public Health Detention Camps

March 20, 2023 Steve MacDonald

September 25, 2022September 25, 2022 Op-Ed

I’m growing tired of Democrats heaping their opprobrium on the Granite State when it comes to the whole early primary bagatelle of a fraud of a hoax of a sham.
