Some upgrades on Turkish Airways?

I didn’t see former Mayor Bill de Blasio get indicted over the roughly $1 billion taken for ThriveNYC.

This method was on no account probed.

And what regarding the One World Advertising and marketing marketing campaign fund?

Nope, not accounted for each.

Adams spoke in the direction of President Biden, and he has now been indicted.

I can’t say I’m shocked that Adams had the e e-book thrown at him.

Nevertheless I am surprised at how swiftly he was indicted.

I wouldn’t be surprised if positive strings have been pulled to conveniently kick him down a notch or two.

Totally different politicians have had lots worse corruption allegations levied in the direction of all of them by historic previous and have largely survived unscathed.

It seems like anyone has it out for Adams.

Nevertheless given the state of the city correct now, I don’t blame them.

As quickly as upon a time in America, the phrase “we await due course of sooner than passing judgment” meant one factor.

Nevertheless now, the cannibalistic cancel custom stays sturdy adequate that quite a lot of public officers would reasonably bypass due course of than give their colleague, Mayor Adams, the advantage of the doubt.

A reminder to our humble civil servants: There is a golden rule — cope with others as you need to be dealt with.

Lawfare, on this case specializing in Adams, is despicable and un-American.

Personally, Mayor Adams wasn’t targeted for complaining about Biden.

He was targeted as payback for destroying New York by welcoming in 250,000 migrants and charging the city’s taxpayers to cope with and them and provide all their amenities.

Adams’ present indictment is extra proof that no matter how far left one goes, it’s going to on no account be far left adequate for at current’s leftists.

Historically speaking, Adams’ political views and actions are undoubtedly far left of coronary heart.

Nevertheless he is merely not left adequate for the loony left.

Adams has been a central decide in New York politics for over a decade, however now indictments are coming down on him, partially for potential crimes devoted properly sooner than he was even mayor.

They’re saying power corrupts. Nevertheless in relation to Mayor Adams, it reveals the essence of his character.

From the day he grew to develop into a cop to the day he grew to develop into New York’s mayor, Adams’ aspiration has been to help himself.

And now he’ll reap what he has sown, as he shall be moved out.

New York is a giant and difficult place to deal with for a mayor.

So why, in God’s title, did Mayor Adams and loads of totally different politicians allegedly pander to these faraway worldwide places?

Whether or not or not he technically broke the laws or not, this should be unacceptable for a sitting mayor.

There are 4 phrases all of us need to recollect regarding the accusations in the direction of Adams: “Innocent until confirmed accountable.”

We moreover must understand that, if Adams have been to resign, his place may presumably be taken by notoriously anti-police Public Advocate Jumaane Williams.

Will we truly want to risk having anyone who hates cops as our subsequent mayor?
