NEW YORK, NY—The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is reporting a drastic rise in the unemployment rate among brothers in the Cuomo family, saying it has increased to a record 100%. "This is unprecedented among Cuomos," said BLS Commissioner Bob Labor. "Contributing factors may include a struggling economy, as well as the fact that they're both corrupt skeezy pervs."

CNN has fired anchor Chris Cuomo after details emerged about how he assisted his brother, former New York Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo, as the politician faced s*xual harassment allegations earlier this year.

The network suspended Chris Cuomo earlier in the week to investigate his involvement with his brother's defense.

"We have retained a respected law firm to conduct the review, and have terminated him, effective immediately," CNN said in a statement. "While in the process of that review, additional information has come to light. Despite the termination, we will investigate as appropriate."

Every driver knows that blocking a fire hydrant could get you a ticket. In some states the fine is more than $110.

That doesn't appear to phase BMW drivers as they've become daringly notorious for parking near (and sometimes blocking) hydrants. The risk of a ticket would be nothing to someone who drives a vehicle valued at more than $100,000.

If you've seen a fire hose filled with water, it resists bending and at times unyielding. Therefore the connection to the hydrant is as direct as possible without curves or kinks. In an emergency, firefighters don't have time to play with BMW drivers blocking hydrants and they have been known to bust through side windows so they can get a 'straight shot' connection to the blocked hydrant.

Does this send out a message to a BMW driver (or any other driver) who blocks a fire hydrant? You betcha!




Okay, so it's a Series 5 at $50,000.
The BMW aHOLE mentality is still the same.

Oh no you don't.


Nov 30 (Reuters) – The Biden administration was blocked from enforcing two mandates requiring millions of American workers to get vaccinated against COVID.


U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty in Monroe, Louisiana, temporarily blocked the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) from enforcing its vaccine mandate for healthcare workers until the court can resolve legal challenges.



Doughty’s ruling applied nationwide, except in 10 states where the CMS was already prevented from enforcing the rule due to a prior order from a federal judge in St. Louis.



Doughty said the CMS lacked the authority to issue a vaccine mandate that would require more than 2 million unvaccinated healthcare workers to get a coronavirus shot. “There is no question that mandating a vaccine to 10.3 million healthcare workers is something that should be done by Congress, not a government agency,” wrote Doughty.

Separately, U.S. District Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove in Frankfort, Kentucky, blocked the administration from enforcing a regulation that new government contracts must include clauses requiring that contractors’ employees get vaccinated.


The White House declined to comment.

Effectively and without too much fanfare, Biden is helping getting it done.

Of course, some will try to come up with lame excuses, ignoring the re-juvinated economy.
Here's a particularly lame one;



IF that were true, it would prove, that even not doing anything, would be a lot better than the harm done by the last loser corrupt "so-called" president, who inherited a growing economy and turned it into a near record collapse. But then, apparently, the economy isn't really important to the GOP
Or could it simply be more hypocrisy ?

It's good to see when liars are held accountable for the damages they cause.
Hopefully, that accountability will finally reach the online b.s. ers.
It's well overdue. Grab their ISP addresses and prosecute.

From, the Los Angeles Times;

Well, it appears that the FBI isn't satisfied with arresting and charging grannies who spent 15 mins in the Capitol and waved their flags, and conducting armed raids on Project Veritas based on a completely bogus charge - now they've charged a journalist who documented in person much of the events as they transpired on Jan 6. The charges are, of course, bogus - but this is how the American KGB (FBI) now operates. Anyone critical of the regime is fair game for targeting and persecution.
