NIMBY Nonsense

    People are protesting in Ilion, NY over a proposed data center located in the vacant Remington Arms factory that once fueled the village economy....

    Now the NIMBYs want it to sit and decay...These are surely people who already are set in life or have a guvmint job and are immune from the private sector economy.

      Remington was driven out because of the hostile firearms atmosphere in NY and now the stoking of fears over data centers seals the deal for Ilion.

     Let's put it in those old buildings on Factory Square

Omar's Home Searched

     Not big on raiding or ambushing elected leaders...Didn't like the Mar A Lago raid and don't like government thugs breaking into Ilhan Omar's DC tent.

       Sure the Somalis are linked to massive corruption in Minnesota, and their folks were engaged in a shooting match of late in Bloomington , MN.

       Marrying your brother does not entitle a kicking down of doors.

        But if turnabout is fair play, this is it.

Flag Raising

    The Italian flag raising was held yesterday at the Italian American Civic Association...Didn't see much city presence in the video....The Italian flag and Christopher Columbus are out of favor with the woke-stars, who hate the man but like the day off.

Mule Spin Off

      Sticker Mule has released an analysis on the firm's economic impact on NY...The figures are lofty and we suspect it is a good thing for Amsterdam, once home to the carpet industry but had become just another decaying upstate industrial city.

     Does it have a bearing on how people vote for Congress ?   I think that ship has sailed.

Opposition Surges But Tish is a Mighty Oak With NY Voters

   Tish James is being tagged by a top Cuomo aide as the biggest hypocrite in Albany...All due to Richard Azzopardi.     being a a whistle blower on the sad tenure of the AG of NYS..  Azzopardi was Governor Cuomo's communications director and sparred with the AG over the claims of sexual hijynx on Eagle Street.

    Ms. James seems headed for reelection and the barker of the phrase "too male, too pale and too stale" will likely do well in NNY where teachers, cops, prison guards and the college crowd will vote for anyone for AG as long as she is a Democrat. Plus as a sufferer of white guilt, I feel inclined to vote for the person of color....Although her opponent, while not tagged as "black", is said to be brown.

     The willingness to vote for anyone due to party was seen some years back when scandal plagued comptroller candidate Alan Hevesi was dutifully elected by NY voters and immediately has to resign, leading to the appointment of Tom DiNapoli.

DSA Orders Mamdani to Fire Tisch….The Good Tisch , Not the Bad Tish.

    The DSA has told its shiny new Mayor that NYCs Jewish police comissioner be fired and that ICE be expelled from the city so that illegals can have free rein.

      It was a matter of time before the mob turned on Jessica Tish, the respected head of the NYPD. Let’s see what the Mayor does.

Quite the Accomplishment

   Stopped in the new Colesantes tonight and the remodel is impressive from the revealed tin ceilings to the new bar and floor.   Wish more people would put that,effort into properties..

     Busy night around town even though it’s a family day. Had a nice dinner at the Robin…

     Also noticed that new tattoo place is open where West End Cafe once was…Remember when the city fathers wanted approval over such businesses…Right down the street from the Lucky Spa which also never got Council approval., nor should they have to .

     

Open

   What’s open or closed tomorrow ?    HOTLINE is on and Pearl Street Pub is open of course….Same for both on Vets Day, King day, Good Friday and Juneteenth….Of course the Pub is open 365…..We have people depending on us.

    Why do we have  to hit the Houthis after they shelled a Saudi airport  killing 12 including one American.

Tough Turf Even If You Will Pay

     A guy who knows his ho's was telling me today there just isn't much on line presence here for rental woman. He did show me one local trolling on a Sunday.

     There's a couple with the going rate at $200 an hour....But it's much better at exit five on I 95 in Hardeeville SC.

      "There was always good whores down there, " said the seasoned traveler of blue collar American.

     The vignettes of life you get in my racket.  Some of the usual sites like Back Page have been shut downs, but there are new ones...one call Skip The Games is popular.  He was showing me a woman in Central Square who is fetching and $200 an hour....Amazing what women post on line.

     Always good to Google the ho's phone number and look into things before jumping in the water, I am told.

    

    

Closer

      There is more conventional wisdom that NY21 is on the bubble….i think the race still leans to Mr Constantino, but we will see how the next three weeks play out…As for discussion of this Schmidt person being some kind of factor, that is pure fiction,…No one knows who he is.

Now What ?

        Christa Pike is out of the hospital and back in prison….Now they can try to kill her again and this time it should be live-streamed  It will be watched by many given the novel nature of her case….

Fighting Yesterday's War

      Corner store opioids are taking the place of Natty Daddy  as a new generation finds new ways to get high.

    We fight a forty year old "war on drugs" with task forces and charges in the seventh degree and getting high is still the order of the day.  We spend thousands on convenience store age stings while down the counter are those corner store opioids...

    Kind of a joke.

We Need A Law

       In the endless desire of the political class to do something about the atmosphere at Cornell, NY lawmakers are floating a law to require refunding of tuition to sexual assault victims.

       What does that prove...If someone has enough of the goods on the college to qualify, they can' get a lot more through litigation or threatened litigation.

Going Out On The Town.....

     There are many reasons bars and restaurants are a declining industry....But not all will fail. The goal is to be one of those.

     It's a bit of an old business model in a different world.

    People don't socialize in establishments like they used to. There are many more now acceptable social lubricants than alcohol. Yeah, the cost of everything is through the roof but that's true for everyone.

     And the old methods of regulation and taxation contribute.  Why run a convenience store where you have to sell cigarettes at $17 a pack when the place across the street sells for a third of that...?

       There's a thinning of the herd in lots of industries...Remember all the car dealerships closed in 2008-09?    Adult entertainment went largely to the Internet....Bands are just not there anymore....

      Someday my place will be turned into ratty apartments and the planners will be happy.

      But for now, it's still a fun business and we had a great summer here....So the fight goes on.

Rally Gets Little Coverage

    President Trump came and went to the Salt City, but his visit will have no effect on his friend's race for Governor.   Bruce Blakeman, who with Trump's help, pushed Elise Stefanik out of the race for Eagle Street,  came close to the Thruway but didn't cross it and now can get back to his Long Island home.

     Matt Mulcahy, the John Moore of CNY, got the one on one interview with Mr. Trump.  I didn't see any live coverage so don't know what was said,

Kathy Gives Clean Bill of Health to Gendebien

      The DEC has signed off on a dump on the Gendebien farm in Lisbon.  So has the SP....Both agencies run by Governor Hochul.

     All farms have a dump but it was a question of access to water...The Constantinno campaign raised the issue and hired a private eye to get aerial pictures of the construction debris and tires.

      The media is vehemently announcing Mr. Gendebien's absolution.s

      Now we will see if the Dems have an October surprise of their own.

Cutting Ties

   The Town of Watertown has formally cut ties with the people who peddled to Town leaders the notion of a $100M events center on land off Route 3 west of the City,

     Townies  still face litigation from developer Mike Lundy who had parlayed his land into road and infrastructure improvements for a proposed AG Park.

    This boondoggle...the city purchase of the gold course and the county dalliance with the solar guy rank as primae examples of the local yokels being lambs led to slaughter.

Rally Time

        I know a couple people who hope to see the President today in Syracuse...I don't see the rally changing anything in New York State,  but it's good to see some focus on the Empire State.

        Traffic will surely be a challenge with road constructions, Friday rush hour, a Presidential motorcade, and rally goers.....

       I'll watch it on TV....Six of them.

Internal No More

      I guess its not an internal poll if you call in friendly media to look it over...The Gendebien campaign says their latest survey has him down by three points to Republican Anthony Constantino.....The message to readers is work a little harder and we can get our preferred candidate across the line...

       Most people have assumed it  a fairly competitive race but for Mr. Gendebien the goal is to be seen by voters as having a shot...That's why the leak of poll data and the pronouncement from the DCCC that this is now a targeted district.

      Its about momentum at this point and getting your message in earned media is important.

        A Siena  Poll out today has Gendebien up by four, but that poll erroneously reports Christopher Schmidt at 5% even though he is a purported write in candidate with no apparent support.

Crushing....Bring It Back.

     As we look for better ways, and with live streaming more entertaining, ways to execute people may I suggest a look back in time to crushing.

     Sometimes they used an elephant, another is to allow the towns folk to each place a rock on the convicted person...This would be good for the Fort Hood case as people living on the Post would provide an ample number of rock placers.

     Injections are too clinical, electric chairs not energy efficient and firing squads are over too quickly to make a pay per view program out of it.

52 Reasons Not to Vote for Tish

      Republican AG candidate Saritha Komatireddy has prepared a 52 count "public indictment". of the job Letitia James does in office....The GOP federal prosecutor is seeking to replace Tish James, who derisively calls old , white men,  "too male, too pale, and too stale."

      There are regrettably a lot of those old white men in NNY who will vote for Tish or not vote at all.   And of course her directing money to downtown's Key Bank building for her offices gains her support among GOP old money.   

       Saw her on FOX and Friends this morning and she is well spoken and easily eviscerates Tish.

Is It Too Late ?

     Christa Pike is said to be up and walking....The Walking Dead......The State doesn't know what to do...They could have finished her off days ago by saying she passed naturally and the explanation would have been accepted....But now its too late...She is recovering from the execution gone bad.

     An aside to the case is the boyfriend who helped Christa carry out her brutal killing got life because he was a year younger at the time.

The Excuse

        Democrat Blake Gendebien made sure he had a cooked up event in Plattsburgh to mask his non show at the CBS 6 debate....The media is told he wanted to stand with working people and not in a studio with Anthony Constantino.

     Some will dutifully defend this action but in an open seat race covering 15 counties, a chance to see the candidates side by side was needed...Still is needed,

     Won't happen now...Too late they will say...

     Maybe Mr. Gendebien has the lead he says he has and can run out the clock...Time will tell.

      A TU story today talks of two bad looks in two days for Mr. Gendebien and they showed a photo of that dump on the Gendebien farm which may or may not be legal....That and the debate will be the first questions he gets in future media interviews....Thats not a good look.

Will Council Be Selling Candy Bars Next ?

       Some years ago, seeing chronically non working fountains at the Library, a Council Member offered to privately raise money for the City and was told that is inappropriate for an elected officials to do so..

      That seems reasonable, so why is it OK today when Council is being told it cannot have a parade because of the false assertion that the City doesn't have the money to pay for the incidental costs of the parade..

     But the current cowed Council is out rattling the tin cup for donations to the City.

     If it's the will of the Council to accommodate a parade, then tell staff to accommodate it....This guy suppendodly works for Council.

      This whole issue is a hoax....Lawmakers and the public led to believe finances are something they are not.

    But if you think the City needs more money, stroke a check to the City of Watertown and put it in the drop box.

 https://www.nny360.com/communitynews/watertown-still-seeking-donations-for-this-year-s-christmas-parade/article_9c5c23e3-801d-554a-b8ed-a447840e12ff.html

    Got my $90 from Trump …Still waiting for the $100 from Hochul.   These are good times…

What Will They Do Now

    I understand many of you want Christine Pike killed but now she is awake after two bites at the apple by the State of Tennessee. She is shackled to a hospital bed with severe damage to her arms due to the botched injections.

     She faces a lengthy recovery to full health but society wants her dead now.,....Should life saving treatment have been provided ...Some would say no. And certainly the State doesn't want this person to be interviewed on TV.....

     Be interesting to see what happens....,

      

      

     

Another Bad Poll

      Marist College has its poll out and it's an eleven point margin for Governor Hochul.....And inside the numbers there is a split in the suburbs, there is 51% Blakeman upstate and 69% Hochul in NYC.

       The City margin can be overcome but not if upstate voters keep giving the Dem well into the 40s.And for the Nassau County Executive to be splitting the 'burbs...that tells a lot too. If you look at 2022, Ms. Hochul had problems upstate even in Erie where she won by a few points....But she carried the four Dem boroughs by big margins, and won the upstate urban counties along with crazy left Tompkins (Ithaca) and Ulster (Woodstock).

       Republicans putting up a pro choice, pro gun control candidate who openly says he doesn't have to campaign North of the Thruway because he has all those votes there....And has to be transported in black Escalades....No surprises at the results. Oh and a running mate who adds nothing.

      If this guy gets to within 8 he is lucky, especially after the Governor boldly appointed her Crackerjack AG to investigate the Cornell 7.

Turning 30 and Proper Salutations

      FOX News turns 30 today.  All six TVs (7 counting my tablet)  will be airing FOX in commemoration.

      Another media note....the CBS 6 anchor first addressed the candidate as Anthony and not Mr. Constantino,  Poor form. Just like the other night Jesse Watters three times addressed  Rep. Donalds  as Byron.

     I often wonder with this generation of news people, if a local anchor sitting across the table from the President would call him "Don".  I know John Moore wouldn't ...

       

Council Surely Will Reject Zone Change Next Month

      The City Planning Commission, as expected , is against a proposed zone change for the Clubhouse and parking lot at the Ives Hill CC.

       Jake Johnson wants the Restaurant to be able to operate independently of the golf course...It is now a non conforming used allowed as an appurtenance to the links.

       Council will surely follow suit when the matter comes before them shortly. Going against staff and the Commission would be a bridge too far for the five lawmakers.

        I'd like a carve-.out for my property since Council foolishly rezoned where I am......

         What is better is to find a way to get the course back to 18 holes, but likely that ship has sailed.

Six Dates Offered

   WRGB says it offered both NY21 candidates six potential dates for their debate and according to the station Anthony Constantino accepted all six and Blake Gendebien rejected all the dates….Is a debate that didn’t happen constitute news ?   Some will argue no and we will see who they are today.

      WRGB did a half hour interview with Constantino instead….  That seems fair enough.

      Clearly there will be no debate in the open seat NY21 race.   For most voters it won’t matter but for some it will….

Remember How It,Started

    Today is the third anniversary of the October 7 attack on Israel that killed 1200 in brutal fashion and kicked off a war that decimated Gaza and resulted in more death.

     We now have a new generation of October 7 deniers who excuse the initial act and support those behind it all.    We’ve seen the subsequent war and it’s full of tragedy, but the original event body cam video is still suppressed by the media. Thats too bad.

New Play Space

        Something beneficial to kids is complete at North Elementary with completion of a new play space where old tennis courts were.

Prediction Markets Rankle Those Granted Sin Licenses

         The thing about government parceling out the franchise to sin is something news always comes along and those granted legal access to sin are mad…Case in point is gambling where the state has cut deals with legal outlets…Now things like prediction markets are cutting into the take of big casinos and Indians.

       One thing about sin is once the barn door is open it’s hard to regulate the comings and going’s of the animals.

Cash the Check

      So did someone believe that cashing the Hochul check means you voted for her?  The expectation is you will vote for her but signing the check is not a vote.   It wouldn’t surprise me if it was set up this way, but it isn’t.

        

      

Donor Disputes Claim

     Contractor Mike Harrienger said today he personally dropped his $5000 check to the NNY Community Foundation two weeks ago.    Last night Council Member Kimball said only $300 has been donated to the City to offset costs of the Christmas Parade.

       City Hall has demanded $12K be donated in order to allow the parade they had hoped to replace with activities at the Library.

She’s Awake

        So the woman they tried to kill has awakened and is speaking according to reports in numerous media…Christa Pike  was supposed to die from lethal injection last week and has been hospitalized in a coma, but is now said to be awake in a Tennessee hospital.

        Ms Pike faces an uncertain future as executions are suspended the rest of the year, but some clamor for her to be killed perhaps by electric chair.  Some say her sentence should be commuted. She has already done 31 years for the gruesome killing of a 19 year old woman.

      The current governor is a lame duck so he could do what he wants without consequence….If as expected, Marsha Blackburn becomes governor, she wants Pike killed.

No Debates

 No debate tonight at CBS 6 as Blake Gendebien took a pass and the race heads to the finish line with no face offs.

Mr Constantino is headed to Canada tomorrow to do a listening tour to get their viewpoint on bilateral issues….Good idea by whoever thought of it.

Meat on the Bone

    One of my moles tells me its been known for some time about that dump on the Gendebien farm and there was wondering why it hasn't come out...

      We understand the DEC has been there, so it might indeed be worth sending a camera crew......

Keep an Eye Out for Crime

    More people are getting involved in Neighborhood Watch...which used to be called, being a good neighbor.

     Encouraging people to keep an eye out for crime and take measures to prevent it is all well and good.....the frustration is for minor crimes where there are few consequences.

      The City policy is to keep arms length from Neighborhood Watch for liability issues but the police union has donated to the organization to put up signs..,.That the City is allowing the signs is a partnership, which is fine.

       Does the Police or Fire department have people appearing on 7 News This Morning or Noon or other media outlets to discuss citizen concerns and what is going on to prevent and solve crimes...,,If not, why...?  Of course that new communication. policy discourages that kind of outreach.

       Wonder how the guy beat up on Jefferson Street is doing.?  Well the answer is he is making progress but brain injuries are a challenge.  Questions like that, no matter how innocently asked, are not what City Hall wants to hear....And we never did get a full airing of what happened in the whole Milly affair. The City didn't want to talk about the Harvest Festival even though I affirmed I wouldn't ask about the golf course.

Is He Trying to Lose ?

      President Trump has again made himself the story instead of the people he is campaigning for.  He called the Dem Senate candidate in SC Annie Trannie Andrews....,What's the point of that.,,,

     The White House also says Trump super PACS will start paying for those ads promoting the President .

     And he used the crude phrase, "shove it up their ass" in a rally.....And to think poor Cliff is barred from the air for saying bullshit, a term now routine on the news.

Kimball: Parade Only Has $300

      Councilman Robert Kimball is again toying with the public on the Christmas Parade, claiming only $300 has been donated so far and that the City will not permit the parade unless the full ransom is paid.

      Well, the finances aside, the City should stop its tin cup brigade to raise money for the boated salaries and vanity doors.  

     For the Doctor to suggest the Parade may now be cancelled again is reason enough he shouldn't be elected Mayor next year.

      Costs related to the parade are less than the billable cost of one minor procedure done by Mr. Kimball's former colleagues. Is that a fair comparison ? No, but nothing about this debate is fair.

       By the way, why do these donations have to be funneled through the NNY Community Foundation. Just make the checks out to City of Watertown at 245 Washington Street since that's where the money is going.

       Dr. Kimball was Mayor pro tem at last night's meeting.

Mule Accuses Farmer of Illegal Dumping

      Anthony Constantino continues to try and keep Black Gendebien on the defensive...This time using a private eye to investigate allegedly illegally dumping on the candidates farmland in Lisbon.

      Nobody cares about this kind of stuff. Refer the matter to the state and if they take action you have a story..,,.,.Of course a Hochul DEC wouldn't touch this.

       Democrats smell blood in NY 21 but their candidate is not really saying much of anything..,...The strategy is to hope voters who vote find both Trump and Constantino something they don't want.

     What is clear is there will be no debate, just more commercials.

Blakeman Accused of Matching Fund Miscues

        The Republican candidate for Governor is now being criticized for his use of the state program for matching funds..,,,Bad enough, Republicans take part in this boondoggle but then they get caught claiming funds for ineligible contributions.

        Bruce Blakeman apparently can't raise the big bucks to go after Governor Hochul who is slathered in big dollar donors.,,,You get $6 for every dollar raised up to a certain amount.

        It would be good to look into how much local candidates are cashing out on this program but as broadcasters we know these state dollars end up in our coffers so we enthusiastically support all of this.

        As for Blakeman, stories like this or the diversion from Cornell drive taxes, utility bills and regulation from the discussion,,,And Blakeman, who is the Conservative Party nominee, keeps talking about how he is pro choice and supports "common sense" gun control.
