as charged with attempted assault in the second degree.

That attackers said "you're done" as he tried to stab. Such talk implies the attempt was murder.

Attacker wearing veteran apparel as well. Wonder if this was an instance of stolen valor, deliberate libtardation, or just pure insanity?

Huh, and all this time I thought my HS buddy was Greek, I guess because his girlfriend was.

His dad used to say "Go play Cowboys and Indians, kids" whenever Sanjay was with us.

Locked up in Rikers with a quarter million bond.

Two people were shot outside Rep. Lee Zeldin’s (R-NY) New York home last night.

Zeldin, who is currently running for governor in New York, released a statement to confirm his family was unharmed.

“You had two people who got shot who were essentially laying down about ten feet from where they (his 2 daughters) were doing homework,” Zeldin said during an appearance on Fox News’s “Fox & Freinds” on Monday morning.

“One of the bullets landed about 30 feet from where the girls were doing homework.

“When we were getting back to the house, we had to go through crime scene tape.

“We were getting advised where to walk so that we weren’t stepping on blood,” he said.

“This is not something that we were planning to return home to.

“You’re also reading about somebody else who got stabbed on a New York City subway, somebody else who got slashed in the East Village,” he said.

“This is day after day after day,” Zeldin added.

“And there are a lot of parents, and there are a lot of families dealing with this reality of rising crime in New York.”

Fucker Lee Zeldin spammed me with a request for money. I never signed up for anything from him.

If you send money, you really see a cascade of money beg spam from a variety of actors.

Yesterday, the New York Times ran a story headlined, “Trump Chooses Lee Zeldin to Run E.P.A. as He Plans to Gut Climate Rules.” The sub-headline added, “The former congressman from New York is a strong supporter of Donald Trump and voted against certifying the 2020 election.” The Times is mostly terrified Zeldin will crush Biden’s mandates for electric cars, which are fun to drive but are mostly useless after hurricanes when the power is out.

Trump is learning. First, in a savvy political statement, President Trump said Zeldin would “ensure fair and swift deregulatory decisions that will be enacted in a way to unleash the power of American businesses, while at the same time maintaining the highest environmental standards, including the cleanest air and water on the planet.”

Second, Zeldin —a former Army reserve officer— lacks any degree in environmental sciences. But he’s loyal. And, during his time in Congress, Zeldin earned a lifetime achievement score of 14% from the League of Conservation Voters, a puny score that might seem like it scraped the bottom of the climate barrel, but it was actually higher than most other conservative Republicans.

Zeldin scraped up his 14% mostly by voting to require the EPA to limit PFAS (plastics that constantly leach chemicals into drinking water) and by voting against offshore drilling (although he favors fracking).

New Yorkers will surely recall that, in 2022, Zeldin was the Republicans’ nominee for New York governor, barely losing to mandate-loving incumbent Kathy Hochul in the closest gubernatorial race in the state since before the Millennium.
