New York, New York

Let me change the focus from the corrupt politics of the federal government to those of the city I grew up in. What’s happening in New York is mirroring the takeover of our nation, as a committed leftist is trying to seize control of the city.

I grew up in the Bronx. I remember my grandfather well. I call him “the astronaut,” because he was the one who left the old country to come to America, which might as well have been Mars for all he knew. He’s the one who first learned the language that his grandson would later master and make his living from. He’s the one who assimilated and worked so hard that he dropped dead at forty-seven.

I also remember living in a family with a hardworking father and a stay-at-home mother. I remember sitting on my father’s lap as we listened to the radio. There were no satellite dishes, Netflix, or SmartTV. It was simple, hard, and wonderful all at once. Because we knew there was opportunity if we worked for it.

I know New York City. It’s in my blood. I’ve lived through the disastrous administrations of left-of-liberal mayors like John Lindsay and watched from a distance as David Dinkins—even worse than Lindsay, if that’s possible—almost destroyed the city. New York City has many great people. There are even a few good conservatives there. It just has lousy leaders.

And none of them is worse than Bill de Blasio.

Here is how I see Mayor de Blasio: he is following the same socialist path as that being taken by the federal government. This includes expanding benefits for illegal aliens.

This is what de Blasio said in one of his first press conferences as mayor: “To all of my fellow New Yorkers who are undocumented, I say, ‘New York City is your home, too, and we will not force any of our residents to live their lives in the shadows.’ ”

Then why, Mr. Mayor, don’t you send bus tickets to the ones streaming over Arizona’s border carrying bundles of pot? You can meet them at the Port Authority Bus Terminal with a book of food stamps, a Jimmy Buffett T-shirt, and a frozen margarita. The New York City mayor fancies himself a modern-day Robin Hood, taxing the rich to help the poor. But how does he help the poor? By using tax revenues to fund social crutches like pre-K schooling, which will be about as helpful in stopping the cycle of poverty as was Al Gore’s Midnight Basketball. Remember that beauty?

Just two months into his term, de Blasio called a press conference to announce a sweeping plan to crack down on moving violations in order to eliminate pedestrians being killed by motor vehicles. Okay. I don’t think his idea will make much of a difference, but okay. Then, two days after the press conference, a news van following the mayor clocked his SUV going at sixty miles per hour in a twenty-five-mile-an-hour zone while it committed no fewer than thirteen moving violations on a trip from Queens to City Hall.
