Tea and Vitriol

The Monroe County Democratic Committee has endorsed Rochester mayor Mahweak Evans' bid for re-election. I am notably underwhelmed. As an incumbent, Mahweak would have always been the committee's first choice, unless there was an outstanding local Democratic politician with a huge support base to pit against him. There is none. True, City Council Vice President Crazy Mary Lupien already threw her hat into the ring a month ago, but her woke progressive liberal rants can be viewed more as comedy relief than a serious platform upon which to run for mayor. Crazy Mary claims that Mahweak hasn't done much during his four years as mayor. That's true enough, but then, neither has she, other than providing Rochester with an endless source of hilarity regarding her woke progressive antics and rants. She won't win a primary, if her campaign lasts that long. Mahweak claims that he will remain focused violence, youth outreach, housing and economics. Still? The third candidate, Sh...

Rochester, New York is a deadly violent city. No matter how much city government tries to spin it, no matter how much the city administration pays for public relations' puff pieces to tout the benefits of city living, no matter how much Democratic elected cop-hating officials tell us to believe them and not our lying eyes and ears, it remains a dangerous place to live, work and play. True, the number of homicides fluctuate here annually, and there are plenty of violent incidents that might not result in immediate deaths, but that doesn't change the fact that Rochester has become a frightening place in which to travel. Until this past Sunday, Rochester had only one homicide for month, which the powers that be touted as an improvement in our crime statistics. Until Sunday. Since then, there have been three homicides in our fair city, two in the last twenty-four hours.  Those two incidents involved shooting to death people driving their vehicles. And, of course, they occurred in w...

Bienvenue dans mon cauchemar! The ongoing political clown show in Rochester, New York continues with the announcement by City Councilwoman Mary Lupien that she will run for the office of Mayor of Rochester! Fancy that! One of the two doyennes of the political, social and economic perversion that is woke progressive liberalism, Crazy Mary wants to mount the rickety mayoral throne of a dying city! The other doyenne is none other than former TV news personality Rachel Barnhart, who now infests the Monroe County Legislature. La Barnhart also ran for mayor in 2017, where her grasp exceeded her reach and never got the Democratic endorsement. Perhaps that's where Crazy Mary got the idea to run for mayor this time around. Their "sister act" is most notable for its anti-cop attitude and its promotion of a DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) agenda, which is opposed to equality of opportunity while supporting equality of outcome. In layman's terms, supporting quota hiring bas...

The Democrats will take every seat they are running for in the City of Rochester, New York this November. That includes the four district City Council seats, the two city court judges and the four school board seats. Why is NOT rocket science. The dying City of Rochester is a one-party town, controlled by the Democrats. The result is visible to all who are unfortunate enough to visit here. Crime, violence, homicide, corruption, physical decay and the worst school district in New York State are just a few of the amusements Rochester has to offer. While Rochester is NOT unique in these respects, since they are common enough in most large Blue cities across America, the parameters of this blog will deal only with our dying city and a few of its environs. Specifically, the effects of one-party rule here, which is maintained by promising "free stuff" to people who are too lazy to work for it, the professional victims whom Democrats buy off. Then, when Democrats are unable to fulfi...

It was Friday, March 5, 2021, in the dying city of Rochester, New York. In a decaying neighborhood on Lyell Avenue, a 53-year-old man, recently widowed, was living out his life in poverty. Two feral urban humanoid teenagers, 14 and 16, doused him with a flammable liquid and set fire to him. The police were called and promptly took the teenagers into custody. They were in the area, still sticking around presumably to admire their handiwork. The man was taken to hospital with second and third degree burns over 70% of his body, from which he succumbed on Tuesday, March 9. On Friday, March 12, the two teenage monsters were charged with second degree murder. There was only perfunctory coverage by the media of this incident. The elected members of our "august" City Council said absolutely nothing about this horrific crime, especially the district city councilman in whose constituency this crime occurred. There was silence from the then-Mayor of Rochester's office and her admini...
