The scenes on the ground at LaGuardia airport are horrific as the nose of the Air Canada regional jet is completely destroyed.  AP reports “two persons” were killed in the crash.

Apparently, an aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicle was crossing the runway at the same time the Air Canada plane was arriving. The New York Times has a live update feed with the following information:

[SOURCE] An Air Canada Express regional jet collided with a Port Authority fire truck at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, killing the plane’s two pilots and shutting down all flights at the airport, officials said Monday.

Forty-one passengers and crew members were taken to the hospital, Kathryn Garcia, the executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, said at an early morning news conference. She said that 32 of them had been released, and that some of the others had been seriously injured.

The vehicle struck by an incoming plane at LaGuardia Airport was a Port Authority Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting vehicle that had been responding to a separate incident, the agency said in a statement. (source)

Well, this is what happens when the far left takes power, even on a municipal level.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has appointed Cea Weaver as the Director of the City Office to Protect Tenants. Presumably, a position intended to stand behind the rights of housing tenants against the property owner. However, Ms. Weaver has some remarkable views on private property and home ownership.

In this video clip below you will notice Ms. Weaver outline how homeowners will need to modify their view on their property ownership to reflect a new municipal perspective that considers all individually owned property to be part of a new collective property viewpoint as controlled by city government.

NYC Mayor Mamdani’s Tenant Director, Cea Weaver:

“We’ll transition from treating property as an individual good to a collective good. Whites especially will be impacted.” pic.twitter.com/RZSdCs8oEa

“For centuries we really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good, in transitioning into treating it as a collective good and towards the model of shared equity … it will mean that families, especially White families … are going to have a different relationship to property than the one that we currently have.”

It is likely that Mayor Mamdani and Director Weaver are going to run into some stiff legal opposition as they try to reimagine a world where individuals are not allowed to own property.

New York Representative Elise Stefanik announced on X that she is suspending her race for New York governor and will not be seeking reelection in congress.  Essentially a complete exit from electoral politics.

ELISE STEFANIK – While spending precious time with my family this Christmas season, I have made the decision to suspend my campaign for Governor and will not seek re-election to Congress. I did not come to this decision lightly for our family.

I am truly humbled and grateful for the historic and overwhelming support from Republicans, Conservatives, Independents, and Democrats all across the state for our campaign to Save New York.

However, as we have seen in past elections, while we would have overwhelmingly won this primary, it is not an effective use of our time or your generous resources to spend the first half of next year in an unnecessary and protracted Republican primary, especially in a challenging state like New York.

And while many know me as Congresswoman, my most important title is Mom. I believe that being a parent is life’s greatest gift and greatest responsibility. I have thought deeply about this and I know that as a mother, I will feel profound regret if I don’t further focus on my young son’s safety, growth, and happiness – particularly at his tender age.

The majority of New York City residents elected Zohran Mamdani as their mayor.  New Yorkers elected him, and New Yorkers are going to have to deal with the consequences of their choice.

True to form, President Trump invited mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to the White House and gave the representative of the New York voters the spotlight their choice represents.  President Trump then holds a media availability with Mayor-elect Mamdani to answer questions.  Sunlight is the best disinfectant.  WATCH:

What will the outcome be for New York City?  They will soon find out.

An interesting development, as one of the embedded Lawfare operatives is exposed by CNN. According to documents reviewed by CNN, the Dept of Justice fired Virginia prosecutor Beth Yusi for sending the unauthorized case file, against New York Attorney General Letitia James, to her personal email account.

Apparently, the transfer of files is the process used by DOJ Lawfare operatives to leak information to the media. Beth Yusi (pictured left) was fired for doing it, and shockingly CNN has the receipts.

(VIA CNN) – The Virginia federal prosecutor who resisted bringing mortgage fraud charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James sent investigative files with James’ personally identifying information to her own private email account, according an email reviewed by CNN.

The prosecutor, Beth Yusi, was dismissed earlier this month at least in part because of the mishandling of the personal information, people familiar with her termination said.

Yusi’s attorney Margaret Donovan told CNN that the former prosecutor “has no record of any such email” and “has never used her personal email account for any portion of any investigation. (read more)

In related matters, Letitia James appeared in court today, and took to the steps of the courthouse to say she was being politically targeted for her mortgage fraud.  The hypocrisy is rich considering James ran on a specific platform to target her political opposition.

President Trump Via Truth Social – “TOTAL VICTORY in the FAKE New York State Attorney General Letitia James Case! I greatly respect the fact that the Court had the Courage to throw out this unlawful and disgraceful Decision that was hurting Business all throughout New York State.

Others were afraid to do business there. The amount, including Interest and Penalties, was over $550 Million Dollars. It was a Political Witch Hunt, in a business sense, the likes of which no one has ever seen before. This was a Case of Election Interference by the City and State trying to show, illegally, that I did things that were wrong when, in fact, everything I did was absolutely CORRECT and, even, PERFECT. Every single Dollar was thrown out, even the penalties imposed on us by the Corrupt Judge, one of the most overturned in History, Arthur Engoron.

I wasn’t given a Jury and, during the course of the Trial, which lasted a long time, was not given one Ruling in my favor by this Political Hack, but worse than him, if that’s possible, was Letitia James, a Corrupt and Incompetent Attorney General who only brought this Case in order to hurt me politically. She is a Trump Deranged Lunatic! They made me bond the outrageous sum, which never happened before, and which cost me Millions of Dollars a month.

The New York Appellate Division in Manhattan had previously been skeptical of the case brought by New York AG Letitia James and the ruling by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron.  There were no victims in the case.

Engoron levied a $464 million judgment against President Trump and his companies.  With interest accruing, the end result was a ridiculous fine in excess of $500 million and the removal of Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr from the company.

The appeals court in Manhattan has thrown out the $500 million punitive award, and suspended Engoron’s ruling that blocked Eric and Don Jr from the company.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – A New York state appeals court threw out on Thursday an approximately half-billion dollar penalty that Donald Trump had been ordered to pay after a judge found that the U.S. president fraudulently overstated the value of his properties and other assets to bolster his family business.

The decision by a five-judge panel of the Appellate Division in Manhattan represented a defeat for New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose office brought the civil fraud lawsuit against Trump in 2022.

Judges on the appellate court had signaled skepticism toward the case during oral arguments last September. (more)

As we noted in October of 2023. There are no elements to this farce of a judicial proceeding which will survive appellate court review.  The entire motive and process is easily identified by any intellectually honest person as a complete sham and legal clown show, intended to advance extreme ideological Lawfare.

As noted by the Associated Press, “President Donald Trump’s political weaponization czar sent a letter urging New York Attorney General Letitia James to resign from office “as an act of good faith” four days after starting his mortgage fraud investigation of her. Then he showed up outside her house.”

Letitia James’ lawyer, Abbe Lowell, shared the content of the letter with the media as both James and her legal representatives continue efforts to leverage media as a defensive strategy.

NEW YORK – President Donald Trump’s political weaponization czar sent a letter urging New York Attorney General Letitia James to resign from office “as an act of good faith” four days after starting his mortgage fraud investigation of her.
