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

  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.

When the information became public in September 2020, Free the People ROC organized riots, demanded

Yep, that's right! Disgraced Rochester ex-police chief LaRon Singletary settled his lawsuit against the City for $75,000! He sued Rochester because the administration of ex-Mayor Lovely Warren "blackened" (pardon the pun) his reputation and sought $1.5 million in compensation. If Singletary thought his damaged reputation was worth that much, why did he settle for only 5% of the dollar settlement he asked for? The lawyers will get most of that. Some people, including me, think that his reputation wasn't that hot to begin with.  It was created two years before Mayor Warren appointed him Chief of Police, to make his promotion seem logical. It was a successful public relations stunt to arouse public interest for a product that nobody wanted, needed or could use, but had a catchy name and attractive package. It was all just hype. As part of the settlement, Singletary had his medical benefits restored, which were eliminated when Mayor Warren fired him in a fit of vindictive
