No longer willing to play second fiddle to Chicago, New York has re-entered the race to sit atop the infamous list of most dangerous cities.

NEW YORK, New York — Twenty people have been shot and one victim has died after shootings in NYC since Friday.

While it is still too early to tell how successful Mayor De Blasio will be in his quest to retake the mantle from Chicago’s Mayor Rahm Emanuel, it appears his policies to remove law and order are unleashing the strongest villains amid his societal construct.

[…]   More than a dozen people were wounded Saturday night alone in NYC.
The rise in violence comes as Mayor de Blasio ends ‘stop and frisk’ practices, others blame warmer weather.
According to CBS New York, Saturday’s shootings wounded eight people in the Bronx, three in Brooklyn and one in Manhattan. (link)

However, “not so fast” says the windy city, due to a late day surge of violence on Sunday – Mayor Emanuel was able to nip the fast-approaching team De Blasio as the “Gun Free Zone” challenge continues:  (more…)

The tone of the same old Hillary Clinton political outlook did not take long to surface. Today on Meet The Press New York Mayor Deblasio was given an opportunity to endorse Hillary 2016. De Blasio said he would not yet endorse her:

Immediately the Hillary Clinton attack machine jumped into action: (more…)

(Via New York Times) Two women living in Queens have been charged with planning to build a bomb that they wanted to detonate in the United States.

The women, Noelle Velentzas, 28, and Asia Siddiqui, 31, who until recently were roommates, were named in a complaint unsealed on Thursday in Federal District Court in Brooklyn, and were expected to appear in court on Thursday afternoon.

Ms. Velentzas and Ms. Siddiqui, who are American citizens, appeared to be interested in jihad, according to the complaint, which said that they had been communicating with Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and had been viewing violent videos made by the Islamic State, also known as ISIS. (more…)

Good op-ed in the New York Post, accepting what is…

(Via New York Post) First he comes for the banks and health care, uses the IRS to go after critics, politicizes the Justice Department, spies on journalists, tries to curb religious freedom, slashes the military, throws open the borders, doubles the debt and nationalizes the Internet.

He lies to the public, ignores the Constitution, inflames race relations and urges Latinos to punish Republican “enemies.” He abandons our ­allies, appeases tyrants, coddles ­adversaries and uses the Crusades as an excuse for inaction as Islamist terrorists slaughter their way across the Mideast.

Now he’s coming for Israel.

Barack Obama’s promise to transform America was too modest. He is transforming the whole world before our eyes. Do you see it yet? (more…)

New York – A 24-year-old man was slashed across the throat by a stranger who yelled in Spanish, “I’m going to kill you, white boy,” police said Friday. But the victim understands Spanish and was able to tell police what happened. Cops are calling the Queens incident a hate crime and hunting the suspect. The attack occurred at 2:20 a.m. Thursday in Ridgewood.

Police said the victim was walking with his girlfriend on Seneca Ave. near Gates Ave., when the attacker ran up to him, yelled the threat and cut the victim from an ear to the middle of his throat.

The attacker, 25 to 30 years old, about 5-foot-8, with a medium build, then ran off with his girlfriend [as seen in video above], who was standing nearby and acting as a lookout, cops said. The victim received dozens of stitches to close his wounds and was later released from the hospital. (link)

Two ‘middle eastern” men attempted entry into New York Synagogue. Take pictures of security systems, cameras etc., then hour later reappear at second Synagogue doing the same thing.

NEW YORK – The NYPD’s anti-terrorism unit is stepping up patrol in Brooklyn after police say two suspicious men attempted to enter a synagogue in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn Saturday.

According to the NYPD, the incident happened Saturday around 4:15 p.m. when two men described as Middle Eastern decent, attempted to enter the Beth Yaakob synagogue located at 1801 Ocean Parkway. (more…)

An anti-cop racist poster hangs in the school with the full approval of the Principal stating “students need to be able to express their feelings” and calling the poster an “expression of free speech”. Compare and contrast this example to a Georgia Teacher who was suspended for writing “all lives matter” on a facebook post.
NEW YORK POST – A city high-school principal allowed a racially charged, anti-police poster to hang in the hallway — even after the December execution of two officers, The Post has learned.
The sign was made by a student at Frederick Douglass Academy in The Bronx — among several posters protesting the deaths of Mike Brown and Eric Garner that were put up in early December.

“We need justice for Mike Brown and Eric Garner. We can’t let these whites win. Let’s fight for what’s right, because if we don’t, no one will,” reads the poster, which was signed by the student.

NYPD school-safety agents from the 42nd Precinct were stunned when they spotted the hostile message while walking the fourth-floor hallway shortly after the Dec. 20 assassinations of Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, sources said.
A principal noticed the agents zeroing in on the poster and stopped to ask, “Do you have a problem with that?” according to a source. (more…)

Anyone else notice something missing?  Like calls for Sheldon Silver to resign…
New York – Albany is terrified and in disarray after Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver’s arrest, with lawmakers and insiders fearing he’ll turn on them to save himself.
“People are scratching their heads and saying, ‘What did I say the last time I spoke to Shelly?’ ” one veteran Albany lobbyist told The Post on Friday.
After Silver’s arrest Thursday, US Attorney Preet Bharara hinted at more to come, telling the public to “stay tuned.”
Now legislators are questioning why Silver’s closest Democratic colleagues, including Assembly Majority Leader Joseph Morelle, have pledged support for him instead of calling for his resignation. (read more)

Meanwhile New York City Mayor, Bill DeBlasio, is trying to reword his support of Silver:

New York – Mayor de Blasio tried Friday to clarify his defense of Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver as a “man of integrity.” (more…)

This appears to stem from a July 2014 incident when Governor Cuomo cancelled a corruption commission that was finding corruption in his own administration.

(New York Times) Federal authorities are expected to arrest Sheldon Silver, the powerful speaker of the New York State Assembly, on corruption charges on Thursday, people with knowledge of the matter said, in a case that is likely to throw Albany into disarray.
The investigation that led to the expected charges against Mr. Silver, a Democrat from the Lower East Side of Manhattan who has served as speaker for more than two decades, began after Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo in March abruptly shut down an anticorruption commission he had created in 2013.
Details of the specific charges to be brought against Mr. Silver were unclear on Wednesday night, but one of the people with knowledge of the matter said they stemmed from payments that Mr. Silver received from a small law firm that specializes in seeking reductions of New York City real estate taxes. Mr. Silver failed to list the payments from the firm, Goldberg & Iryami, on his annual financial disclosure filings, as required. (read more)
