The Water Board has been on Tour lately going around the 5 boros trying to justify the most insane rate hikes I have ever seen. Since 2000 the water rate has gone up 156%. Anyone’s salary go up that much those of you that STILL have JOBS? Nope not here either. We are still trying to deal with a Recession that we are being told has been over for 3 years. Talk about an economic hangover the ill effects live on and so does the high unemployment and upsidedown mortgages. As I listen to the Commissioners reason why we need to raise the rates of WATER!! I am stunned by their complete indifference. The blank faces void of emotion and feelings the quintessential Buearucrat.
There has been this concentrated effort to bleed the small businessman and property owner to the point of extinction. We are now rapidly approaching that tipping point. The amount of apathy is sorrowful and needs to be discussed. If we do not unite under one cause and begin to fight back we are done. The establishment will become more brazen and continue to take our wealth( what’s left of it ) Freedom and liberty and most of the all the Quality of Life. We as a nation have the highest standard of Quality of Life but we are rapidly on the decline.
People do not understand if we sit mute this never stops . It will go on and on. Where are our supposed elected representation? No camera no celebrity no photo up no politician. We must begin to hold them accountable and make them pay when they sign away our Liberty. This All Must Stop!

Don’t let them take us to bondage!
Just a quick glance at what type of shape our country is in after a recession. Aren’t we supposed to be on the rise? Shouldn’t Housing sales be going up and unemployment going down? ( By creating jobs NOT taking hundreds of thousands of people Out of the workforce pool) lowering the rate of unemployment. Well that’s not the case not by a l0ng shot. Housing continues to go down. House sales this quarter were at 4.4 million sales while they should be at least 6.5 million and even with these dirt poor rates people are getting the owners are not getting the asking price by a long shot.
I must admit though Obama has come up with a whole new technique on how to push these very disturbing facts off the front page unto some other hot issue and that is…..create another scandal! We definitely have a whole new meaning for the term “Secret Service”. This ” Boys will be Boys” theme is just not cutting it for me. Love him or hate him he is our President and I would never want his safety compromised especially due to the nature of the Services distracting behavior. Can you imagine the calamity that would ensue with a breach of security against our President? Then there’s the governmental Cost watchdog the General Service Administration. Turns out it was Harry Reid himself the top Senate leader who wrote a letter to Obama asking him to clear the way for GSA to have their “Spring Break in Vegas ” and to prove it they are pictures and even music videos. To me this is the lefts way of telling us poor bastards in so many words that they are in charge of OUR MONEY and will do as they please. Well I beg to differ. The one scandal I cannot get a hold on has to do with our Attorney General Eric ( We are a nation of Cowards) Holder. Fast and Furious. This absurd idea to sell guns to drug cartels and track the arms to see where it leads was child-like and did not even have tracking devices making this whole operation questionable in its purpose. This plan which was destined for bad things turned out in the form of a dead agent killed by one of these guns. This would have ended a GOP Presidencey. Obama remains unscathed as Holder protects the subversive Black Panthers as they offer bounties and speak of Race War and Holder and Obama sits moot.
All this to detract away from the fact that the economy is NOT bouncing back or recovering and if we keep this man in the White House he will destroy this system that has made us the envy of all of the globe. Please get out and vote this is the most critical election of our time.
As I was reading the New York Post today I spotted an article written by Annie Karni about the Landmarks Commission and its’ decision to include a unexceptional gas station in its’ Landmark status.
The owner of the gas station was irate over this fact. MarcelloPorcetti wanted to take his 11k square feet lot and build a seven story condo development. Too bad Marcello the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s purview thought otherwise.
I suddenly felt for this man who I did not know. I myself have been done wrong by the Landmarks Commission. Back in 2010 some of you might remember the Ground Zero Mosque firestorm. After all the meetings and public debate over this very hot topic it eventually came down to the Landmarks Commission as being the one agency to stop Sharif El Gamal and his Park 51 Group from erecting their Victory Mosque on the ashes of our dead loved ones. Well even though the building in question: The Burlington Coat Factory which had been on the docket for Landmark status for the last 2 decades was suddenly ready to be heard on a public forum to rush to get their proposed Mosque built. Mayor Bloomberg who had fast-tracked the project like no other construction project I had ever seen had staffers influence the commissioners how to vote. So regardless of the fact that the 1st strike of the 911 Attack was the landing gear from the 1st plane crashing thru the roof of the Burlington Coat Factory building destroying several interior landings well before the plane hit hit Tower 1. Additionally the highest concentration of DNA remains were located on this building as well. How could they not give this Landmark status? Well when the Mayor who appointed you says vote this way or else you VOTE THIS WAY!
Along with our Muslim Brotherhood Groupie Ahmed Bloomberg there was Cuomo, Schumer, Weiner ( Twitter Idiot) Gillabrand ( Schumer’s latest Frankenstein) Nadler and our New Jersey RINO Governor Chris Christie AND the man himself Barak Obama. Now with a support group like that think of what you could do …….like an alternative energy source. How do we get this group to support such a move? I GOT IT!
Lets build a Nuclear Power Plant in Central Park. Think of all the power it will give the tri state area. We could start making them cross country- it could have a real positive effect on this gas crisis we are dealing with….but how do we get a group like these Rainmakers to Green Light it? I GOT IT! We call it the: The Central Park Islamic Nuclear Power Plant. I can see it now Obama would be there to break a stick of Uranium across the centrifuge while Chris Christie starts serving Yellow Cake to all the others. Schumer could do the ribbon cutting while Bloomberg calls us racists and MSNBC blames the Republicans for anything that goes wrong in advance. All is right.
Do you remember the feeling of utter Messianic type worship this man received by both educated and the impoverished masses. During his speeches people were passing out from the feeling of euphoria? Now they are falling asleep from complete boredom IE: any meeting that was attended by Larry ( Nap Time ) Summers and his speech to the West Point class where a student decided to take some zzzzz’s. Yup the bloom is off this Obamasanthimum. He needs to bring his teleprompter in to a 6th grade classroom. He NEVER takes the blame for ANYTHING that doesn’t go well and manages to credit himself with ANYTHING that goes Right which isn’t too often. He has brought down the office of the Presidency to such disgraceful levels and has participated in repeated race and class-warfare. This man needs to be replaced Pronto!
I do find it amazing how the Mainstream Media continues to act as Obama’s private PR Firm. This economy is an absolute disaster with No qualities that resemble a recovery yet they still paint this picture of a nation with robust job recovery and a decreasing unemployment number. What they don’t tell you is the people who are on unemployment for longer then 99 weeks are no longer counted in the workforce number therefore decreasing the unemployment number and completely misreading the actual unemployment number which is really over 15%. Don’t even get me started about gas prices and the rejection of the XL Pipeline … that China is going to end up befitting from. See video:

Look at these faces. They are the very core of Evil. Christopher Newsom and his girlfriend Channon Christian were murdered in the most heinous of ways by this group of black-hearted criminals who Satan most definitely have a place for them in Hell.
I look at these young pure hearted kids with nothing but promise in their spirit- beaten raped mutilated and set on fire…dear God how is it that this wasn’t national news? Because the victims were white and the assailants were black. I still think the Administration chose this as his opportunity to rouse his base who are disenchanted with their supposed Messiah and trying to take their minds off his total failure as a leader. 2012 the most important election of our lives.
Well Mr. Everything’s great in my world who cares about the little people Bloomberg is not satisfied telling us what to eat, where to smoke, what we can use to defend ourselves and destroying the hopes and dreams of inspiring entrepreneurs who work themselves bloody to open their own businesses. Now it’s time to go after the most cherished of all Americans: the United States Vet. Has this man have no moral character? The answer from what I’m about to tell you is …NO.
We already know the fleecing of all the small businessmen and women by these parasitic alphabet agencies that get their marching orders and quotas from their King Heir Von Bloomenberg. I myself was dealt with a lethal blow running the several small businesses I had back in the 90′s and even the early 2000′s. The trend was getting progressively worse and I got out and quick. Yet here we are with a mayor supposedly the “Businessman’s Mayor” and we are getting crushed with skyrocketing water bills, endless trips to these establishments by the Fire Dept. and their absurd regulations that change from one inspector to the next or the Health Dept . also a “Call it as I see it type guy” with blue law enforcement from pre WWII days and the nail in the coffin one …the Building Dept. These lovely souls will make you rip out an entire kitchen on your own dime if he or she sees something he doesn’t like.
All that is not well or not good and God willing if I get elected to the City Council like I am planning I will lead a movement to put a stop to it all or go down trying. But this latest attack of the American Legion Post 1424 in Forest Hills by the Health Dept.has left me seething with outrage. If they are starting in Queens there is no doubt that Brooklyn is not far behind. Where is Gentile on this? His counterparts in Queens are taking action. He’s more concerned about a silly little meaningless show about a bunch of girls with grudges against each other because of what else…? Boys how childish. Will he do anything meaningful to help our veterans guard themselves against this latest attack on the private sector ….? people who have put all other things aside so that they could have the privilege of defending their country.
I don’t need a title to defend these heroes and if our disconnected Councilman cannot be guilt-ed into doing something about it as he cuts ribbons for the Grand Openings of business ventures for his photo ops that are doomed in this present climate than fine we will go it on our own. Certainly not the first time I took on a cause for a group and a belief I hold dear. 2013 will be a very interesting year.
Gotta admit something about the little fella even though he don’t do much he’s got great hair. Hey maybe that can help him with his next business venture say…..Grecian Formula poster boy? or have they outlawed that as a dangerous toxin? Oh well he will not be this districts problem for much longer. So long Vinny!
To the pandering elected officials that represent the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn: YOUR PATHETIC! In your attempts to foster sentiment that you actually care about the residents and small businesses of Bay Ridge by publicly slamming the Oxygen Network reality show “Brooklyn 11233″, you could be putting a nail in the coffin of the vitality of this once vibrant area. You compared this reality show to the movie “Saturday Night Fever” and all the damage it wreaked on the area. It’s no surprise that you are not aware of this, but that movie put Bay Ridge into the national spotlight. People from all over the country came to Bay Ridge to see where John Travolta danced, ate, strutted down the sidewalk in the opening credits and marveled at the majestic accomplishment of the Verrazano Bridge. One of our proudest structures ever built uniting us to our brother borough Staten Island forever.
It was the summer in the late 70′s, my friends and I were all giddy with excitement as we got to watch Vinny Barbarino cladded in polyester shoot baskets in the park under the bridge. In the background, one of my friends was playing handball and actually made it into the final cut of the movie. All of the pizzerias were now serving the “Saturday Night Fever” slice on on top of the other. As I was bussing tables at Circles Restaurant, I noticed that the line to get in was from the bus stop on 69th Street and wrapped around the corner onto 3rd Avenue. Even to this day the food at Circles is still my favorite food in the world and tastes the same after 30 years. The only thing different is the amount of people.
This Oxygen reality show could be exactly what the area needs. The PR generated by this has already begun to take effect. The buzz is being heard in all 5 boroughs. The interest in the area is starting to spike once again. How could a small business not want all this FREE publicity? Being a former owner of several businesses in the area, I know first hand the damage these politicians have wrought on the small businesses of Bay Ridge. As I look at both of your records, it is evident you have been living off of the blood and sweat of the good people in this district and have no experience in small business. Therefore, nothing to lose. As all these charming businesses struggle to keep their doors open, the politicians keep creating a more hostile and stifling environment.
Councilman Gentile stated “It’s crass and its rude – and when it comes to the women of Bay Ridge, the producers didn’t even get the zip code right.” I’m actually impressed that he knew the zip code and as far as knowing what the women of Bay Ridge think, that is one topic I would let the women themselves judge. Voters of Bay Ridge: Do not be fooled by these politicians and their attempt to inflame your sensibilities. In the world of business, there is no such thing as bad PR. Just look what the MTV show “Jersey Shore” did for NJ and all of the businesses that were featured. We could only hope for such an impact. Come 2013 – VOTE Sully for City Council because I do have a stake in the game.
Bay Ridge is done being the borough’s personal ATM machine.
The New York Times said “What”?! Foughheddiboutid!! Cheers and chants rang out as Congressman Mike Grimm pulled up in front of the New GOP Headquarters of Staten Island on Richmond Road. These loyal Islanders and fellow Brooklynites were no way going to allow the New York Times and their legion of progressives tar and feather their Boy Grimm with a bunch of allegations with little or no basis of fact or evidence. The common feeling amongst the group was ….you got something ? Show us something …not a load of conjecture or hearsay signed anonymous. This is the behavior of cowards and as such will not be tolerated by this electorate or by the Freshman Congressman, Marine, FBI agent or by his 8 pound attack dog Sebastian- Street Name : Mugsy.
What a turnout! Both electorate and public servants. Assembly Member Nicole Malliotakis who I always spell wrong …but not today, James Oddo of the City Council along with State SenatorLanza and the Godfather of the Conservative movement within the Staten Island community former Congressman and Borough President Guy Molinari. Mr. Molinari who may move slowly but speaks and thinks with the mental reflexes of Olympic boxer in his prime was clearly defending his adopted son Grimm. Regardless of his stature Mr. Molinari is quite formidable even at this later stage of his most decorated life and if I was the writer for the Times I would make sure of my sources before I dropped a bomb of this magnitude. Conclusion? Jaws Reference: ” We’re gonna need a bigger boat” Bigger indeed if you intend to take out this Great White Shark called Congressman Grimm.

Enjoy the speech!
The time is now and me and my team of blue collars, white collars and pink are all getting together for the goal of taking district 43′s Councilman seat presently held by Mr. Gentile. I think it is time to send a message to the “Powers that Be” that we are no longer the governments personal ATM machine. We are done with these agencies stealing the hopes and dreams of fellow Brooklynites. No more picking at the bones of these hard working people I will not stand for it.

I hope to make you all feel like you will have a voice in the way the local government treats you. Good Luck and God Bless Brooklyn!
Remember that great commercial with the GM CEO Ed Whitacre strutting around a GM plant pea cocking his way into one of the Obama Administration’s biggest lies? You know the one where he states that everything is going great here at GM thanks to the government bailout and the cars are flying off the lots and the company has already paid back the loan in full with interest ahead of time?! Well sorry to pop that bubble but once again the public has been had.
If the government did not interfere with the bankruptcy of GM normal market forces would have sold off the profitable divisions and the others would of been scrapped and either streamlined or done away with entirely. Along with this process would have meant tens of thousands of jobs gone not permanently but transferred to other areas that have been upgraded to profitability. That is how the greatest system in the world works. It is survival of the fittest not the fattest. This is why we have the highest quality of life -that is why everyone comes here to “Make It”. We are the benchmark for the entire planet. When you pick and choose winners I don’t care how much tax payer money the government steals from us it never pans out. Even when we supposedly made a profit during the bank bailouts it was Barney Frank who told the Obama Administration we can’t give the money back to the people or else they will want it back every time. We should transfer it to one of our entitlements. How typically liberal to be so generous with “Other Peoples Money”
What Big Ed neglected to tell the American people was that the money that was paid back was paid back with more Tax Payer Dollars. We initially gave GM 6.7 billion dollars at first at 7% interest which was a great rate then 60% of the equity of GM was transferred to the U.S. tax payer.( Did you guys get the interest on the dividends? No? me neither still waiting for my check) Now we are stuck bearing all the risk financially on this deal if GM doesn’t turn a profit and start to pay back its’ enormously mounting debt. But wait…we are talking about a government deal…logic and math has no place here at all. Instead lets loan GM more money so they can pay off the loan we gave them- yeah that’s the ticket and that’s exactly what they did. See how much fun it is playing government? Still there comes a time when the governmental pixy dust wears off and reality smacks you right in the wallet and in this case it does in the form of a ” Volt” Yup the green innovation of the future. This puppy is going to put us on the global market as the leaders of Non- Fossil Fuel Vehicle only one teeny little problem. People don’t like them. They don’t feel they have enough charging stations to actually travel a significant distance and the singular charge only gets you 25 miles or so and then you have to go back to gasoline. That and the exploding factor. Oh yeah forgot about that little tidbit. This lithium battery likes to go BOOM when you park it. LOL! Go figure. C’mon don’t worry I’m sure it clears the new CAFE standards that the Obama Administration is enforcing. Cars explode …so what?
Looks good though …don’t it?
OK enough with the satire Obama claiming he saved GM and all of those jobs AND paid back all the loans is nothing more than one lie after another. He took OUR MONEY and used it to extend the life of a company that was selected by the Free Market to either fall or be redesigned and propped up this mutation that we are now seeing the full damage of. The way this Administration lies and has total disregard for the Constitution is disgraceful. Everything from the Health Care Nightmare to the Financial “Dodd Frank” Bill named after the crooks who brought us the collapse of Home Ownership to prosecuting the CIA agents who handed him Bin Laden’s head on a plate you sir are a divisive failure of a leader and need to step down before you cause any more damage to the greatest nation the planet has ever had.
A Tax Payer
