(New York, New York) " New York City could be heading into a period of painful austerity, as Mayor Zohran Mamdani warned that the city's financial situation is "worse than broke" and confirmed plans to scale back key programs. Speaking amid mounting concerns over the city's budget, Mamdani said New York is facing a significant deficit that will force difficult decisions across multiple sectors. Among the areas on the chopping block: housing vouchers, library funding, and other public services that many residents rely on. The mayor did not provide a full breakdown of the cuts, but indicated that reductions will be widespread as officials attempt to stabilize the city's finances. Housing assistance programs, which have been critical in addressing affordability and homelessness, are expected to take a hit"raising concerns among advocates about increased displacement and housing insecurity. read more

Typhus is a bacterial disease spread by infected fleas. Symptoms range from mild to potentially deadly. Health officials say it's so widespread, you can be at risk whether you have a pet or not. "These cases have been rising year after year. They're occurring in all areas of our county," said Medical Epidemiologist Dr. Aiman Halai with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. In 2025, 220 typhus infections were recorded in L.A. County, which is up from 187 cases in 2024. Halai said 90% of residents bitten by contaminated fleas ended up in the hospital. read more

"The financial strain was further exacerbated by global tariffs, high inflation and recent spikes in gasoline prices, along with growing competition from private carriers such as Amazon, which now delivers many of its own packages."

This just points to government fragility. This is across the board, City, State, Federal cuts are coming because government is spending far too much relative to its income. It could tax more, and as we see in VA anything that isn't nailed down is being taxed. A kids dog walking service TAXED. Drycleaning? Taxed..

The hiring isn't of employees that will help the citizens... nono ... hiring of more managers, will they see a shake up like Google? Hell no.

Since 2019, California has been on a hiring spree. Under Gov. Gavin Newsom, the size of the state's workforce has grown by roughly 20,000 employees, according to California's human resources department " but that growth hasn't happened uniformly across the classes of civil service.

Seems like there's nothing the government won't tax. But it won't stop the spending or hiring or growing the public unions ... why? well, as I articulated a year ago, the unions donate to democrat politicians. Where do the Unions get their money? Well fraud is how, as documented by the indictments in CA.....

Its funny too because a month ago I was ridiculed about declaring the amount of fraud is unsustainable. Yesterday Newsom and Bonta both NOW claim they are fighting fraud, so they threw a couple of immigrants under the bus. Hoping to satisfy the hoi poloi.

Dark times ahead because people aren't seeing the reality, just a fantasy of how they'd like things to be.

Apparently Iran can't find all the mines it placed in the Straits.

So if they don't keep it closed, its actually a war crime to have untethered mines in the ocean.

Americans supported Germany through most of WW2.

This isn't true.

The war started September 1, 1939, by July 1940 the US Congress passed the Two-Ocean Navy Act by a vote of 316-0.

A small minority of American's joined various fascist "partys", but were never a political force.

There's no one more ignorant of American history than deplorable Trumping MAGAts.

No one could make up more ridiculous "facts" than a gay Muslim.
