Mayor Bill de Blasio says New York City has canceled large-scale events, including street fairs and events in parks, through Sept. 30

By -

“The data is telling us it is not time for large gatherings,” New York Mayor Bill de Blasio says about cancelling large events through September. “It means like street fairs. It means big outdoor concerts and it means things like parades… it’s just not time for that now.”



De Blasio claims Black Lives Matter protests are important because it’s about calling for ‘historic change’ so he’s not going to stop them, no matter whether people get sick or not.
Buck Sexton wrote “So these outdoor events that bring together the community and let people enjoy their lives are banned – but De Blasio thinks thousands of shrieking protestors screaming in each others faces for hours is awesome and we need more of it. Seems fair.”
As part of the city's efforts to honor Black New Yorkers, the mayor, his wife, other elected officials and volunteers painted the message in bright yellow paint on Fifth Avenue, between 56th and 57th streets, directly in front of Trump Tower.

"Our city isn't just painting the words on Fifth Avenue. We're committed to the meaning of the message," de Blasio tweeted.
As the paint was applied, many onlookers cheered and jeered Trump's name.
"Black lives do matter, and I hope it's not just something written on street and driven over," Amber Fairweather told.
The city has painted Black Lives Matter murals on streets in Brooklyn, Staten Island and Harlem, and will continue to paint more in the coming weeks, according to the mayor's office.
Trump, who changed his legal residency to Florida from New York last year, expressed anger over the mural on Twitter over the last two weeks. In a pair of tweets on July 1, Trump said the paint was "denigrating this luxury Avenue," and added the city should spend more fighting crime.
"We are not denigrating anything. We are liberating Fifth Avenue," de Blasio said outside Trump Tower. "Who built this nation?"

NBC Washington Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor and former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade join Andrea Mitchell to discuss key challenges facing the January 6 Committee ahead of their primetime hearings this week: getting a "distracted nation" to pay attention and understand what's at stake. “I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here, as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we're all living in, benefiting from, possibly being brought to his knees, is whether or not they can make people care,” says Alcindor. “The American public has been groomed to expect high value quick entertainment,” says McQuade. "I think putting together a polished show can be very important."

 NBC News correspondent Yamiche Alcindor worried Democrats would have a difficult time making Americans "care" and pay attention to the January 6 hearings, amid high gas prices, inflation, and a baby formula shortage. Appearing in a MSNBC panel Monday, Alcindor told host Andrea Mitchell that the "biggest challenge" the January 6 House Select Committee faced was getting Americans to have the same level of concern for their investigation. "I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we’re all living and benefiting from possibly being brought to his knees is whether or not they can make people care, Andrea," she said.

Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon discuss President Donald Trump's comments about race after the 2019 Oscars. Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2019 The left loves to hate on Trump, calling him a racist and what not. I know Trump can be juvenile sometimes – certainly – but the racist and hateful name-calling is just what it is, garbage.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scrambled Sunday to explain why neighbors at her listed Bronx address never saw her there — and ended up claiming she recently relocatedto a larger place nearby. The day after The Post reported that residents said they had never seen her around — and she ducked questions about it after an appearance — her spokesman said the Democratic freshman congresswoman now lives with her boyfriend in a two-bedroom apartment “a block and a half away.’’ The pair relocated there earlier this month, he said. “She lives in the same neighborhood she’s lived in for years,” said the spokesman, Corbin Trent. “She is not living in the exact same condo.’’ The recent move still didn’t explain why residents at her previous digs — a one-bedroom Bronx condo owned by her mom — insisted they had never seen her there. U.S. reps and senators are required to have a residence in their home districts. Trent claimed that Ocasio-Cortez, 29, was at her new home Sunday afternoon, al
