Terrorists Win As Gov’t Sets Up New Restrictions On Flyers

As terrorists continue to try to attack innocent people all around the world, the United States government continues to cave and allow their actions to greatly influence the way Americans live.

After already having installed a number of ridiculous policies at the airport such as making people take their shoes off and restrictions on liquids, the government has stepped up restrictions even more after a failed attack on a plane headed to Detroit and airlines are already bracing themselves for inevitable loses in customers.

What are the restrictions? The government has refused to release any details to …continue reading

SUNY Wastes Money, Paterson Not Cutting Costs

This year, CUNY and SUNY colleges have both raised tuition, cut classes, stopped hiring adjuncts, and in general have tried to cut costs everywhere they can. Well, the Daily News is reporting that while students are paying tons more in fees and tuition, SUNY has spent $29.9 paying overtime through November of this fiscal year (which does not end until March 31).

This new finding means that SUNY is exceeding last year’s total, while other schools have cut overtime.

SUNY spokesman David Belsky said new Chancellor Nancy Zimpher is trying to develop a system-wide plan to cut costs “through greater innovation and reduced …continue reading

NYPD Pushing Ridiculous “Feet-on-Seat” Tickets in Subway

Just as the NYPD tried to tackle jaywalking a few years ago, cops are not stringently ticketing commuters (who are already being screwed by the MTA) for putting their feet up on train seats…even when train cars are nearly empty.

The Gothamist details how two people have received $50 fines for putting their feet up on seats nearby despite the fact that they did so on nearly empty cars after midnight.

One such case included a Fashion Institute of Technology student who received two fines on two consecutive days even though he did so at around 2:30 …continue reading

With Giuliani Out, No GOP Candidates Stand Out

As we mentioned earlier this week, the announcement by former New York City Mayor and Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani that he would not run was a devastating blow to the Republicans who are now expected to lose both the gubernatorial and Senate elections because they do not have any viable candidates.

Rudy Giuliani’s departure from the race before it even began shows a side of the GOP that is often unnoticed, the fact that the Party has just a handful of prominent candidates (none of which actually win major elections) and not much else.

In New York, the most prominent Republican in the …continue reading

NYC Wastes Tens of Millions on Pot Arrests, 12% of All Arrests Are Marijuana Charges

For all the talk about crime statistics in New York City, the irony of all ironies is that the taxpayer is charged tens of millions of dollars every year so that cops can arrest people for harmlessly smoking a pot.

According to a recent study, around 12% of all arrests in New York City are on marijuana charges, something that was rarely done until Rudy Giuliani and, even more so, Michael Bloomberg installed policies to make their crime statistics look good by going after pot smokers.

Of course the crime stats improved under Giuliani and Bloomberg, the two mayors saw marijuana arrests surge …continue reading
