Tea and Vitriol

The last month of the campaigns for the mid-term elections is upon us. The Republicans are poised to retake control of the House and the Senate, rejecting the progressive liberal horror that is Bidenism and reducing our senile horse's ass of a president to lame duck status two years before his term ends.  If they don't fuck it up, that is. At the local level, the GOP has chosen some excellent candidates for elected office. Jim VanBrederode, former Town of Gates Police Chief is running for New York State Senate's 56th district. A fine man, a proponent of conservative values and supporting law and order at a time when violence and chaos reign supreme in Democrat-controlled cities like Rochester, New York, he is running against progressive liberal poster boy, Jeremy Cooney. Cooney, seeking re-election, is pro-criminal and pro-abortion. Progressive liberals are making their pro-abortion stance an issue against Republican candidates in this year's campaign since Rowe v. Wade

Last night, the city of Rochester, New York "celebrated" its 60th homicide of the year. So far. It occurred on Mazda Terrace in the Northeast Quadrant, the deadliest section of the City of Rochester, just a few blocks away from where our 59th homicide took place less than 48 hours previously. We are poised to equal, if not exceed, the record-breaking number of 81 homicides in Rochester last year, which made us the fifth deadliest city in America, and the deadliest per capita. Yet Mayor Evans claims that Rochester is "unequivocally safe," despite his useless habit of declaring states of emergency throughout this summer. He has since stopped stating that such homicides "break his heart," as he occasionally did before assuming the mayoral throne. Northeast District City Councilman Mike Patterson will, every so often, comment on how terrible all the homicides and non-fatal shootings, stabbings, assaults and criminal activity are for his district. Patterson did

  The name "Daniel Prude" should not be unknown to anyone between the ages of eight and eighty who has lived in the dying City of Rochester for the last two and a half years. He was the out of towner who came to visit his brother, Joe Prude, at the end of March 2020. Within 24 hours of his arrival, he was subjected to a mental hygiene arrest, released, able to purchase illegal drugs (how he knew where to find them when he had just arrived in town is anyone's guess), ran naked into the streets on a cold night, was subdued by officers of the Rochester Police Department and died in their custody. Prude's death led to a cover-up by ex-Mayor Lovely Warren, her then police chief LaRon Singletary and a host of other members of her administration as well as the silence of City Counselor Mary Lupien, who later claimed that she had kept silent for the sake of Prude's family. When the information became public in September 2020, Free the People ROC organized riots, demanded

It was such a sad story. Sixteen-year-old Jaquise Davis was coming home from work at Walmart on the night of August 8 this year. On Pennsylvania Avenue, where he lived, a car was speeding down the street. It was a stolen car, taken at gunpoint from the corner of Garson Avenue and North Goodman Street just moments before. Just as Jaquise entered his home, a gunshot rang out and he was killed, an innocent bystander in Rochester's ongoing "Murder Marathon." Immediately, the media went to work! Friends and family stated what a "good boy" Jaquise was, so kind and helpful. Citygov dusted off its usual statement at how shocked they were at this senseless crime. East High School announced that they were providing emotional support and counselors for students who were aggrieved by their friend's death. And the family created a "Go Fund Me" account to help with the expenses of the funeral and to give Jaquise a decent send off. Such a tragic story of a nice y

Last year, our fair city had the fifth highest homicide rate in the nation. Per capita, we were the deadliest. Not bad, considering that Rochester, New York is a middle-sized city of only 210, 000 souls. Nowhere near the size of New York City or Chicago. Early this morning, at Ontario Beach Park, a man in his 30's was shot and killed. There had been a crowd at the parking lot of the beach. They promptly dispersed when the police showed up to investigate...after 3:30 AM! What the Hell were people doing out there at 3:30 in the morning, when everything out there closes up shop by 2 AM? Who knows? What we do know is that the current mayoral regime of Malik Evans has been totally ineffective in developing strategies to curtail violence apart from a lot of talk. That's all he and his administration are good for. His answer to our frequent homicides, as well as non-fatal shootings and stabbings, has been to declare a "State of Emergency" to calm those people who still have
