New York City Mayor Bill De Blah-Blah-Blah is Still Giving Campaign Speeches During State of Emergency: NYers are Tougher Than People in All Other Cities, Who Fold in the Face of 2” of Snow; Stay Home, and Off the Streets, but Send Your Kids to School and Go Donate Blood, Even Though Public Transportation is Completely Unreliable

The guy has nothing to worry about, because his media supporters will cover for his mistakes. The press conference he gave, which wound up circa 12:30 p.m., was a love-in. Virtually every alleged reporter in the room will have voted for him, and did unpaid campaign work for him, via puff pierces, and freezing his Republican opponent Joe Lhota out of coverage, until after the primaries, and then not asking any questions about the unbelievable poll returns, that had Wilhelm/DeBlasio getting three times as many votes as Lhota, after five straight elections in which the Democrat had lost.

Hundreds of angry parents complained at the City Department of Education’s Facebook page. At the press conference, however, new Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina asserted that the city’s public schools had 60 percent attendance today. When I told my son that, he responded that two weeks ago, when I kept him home during a blizzard or subzero wind-chill day (there have been so many days like this over the past month that I can’t keep ‘em straight anymore, and De Blah-Blah-Blah only closed the schools once, in spite of Gov. Andrew Cuomo declaring a state of emergency several times), only three out of 32 kids (i.e., 90 percent absent) showed up for his homeroom class. But out of the other side of her mouth, Farina revealed her real agenda: Many children, she asserted, would not get a hot lunch without their (cooked at white taxpayers’ expense) school lunch, and many parents needed the school babysitting service. (Since when is it necessary for kids to have a hot lunch? What’s wrong with bringing sandwiches from home, like most of us did when I was a kid?)

It’s all welfare, and as we know, colored people cannot be counted on to properly feed their kids, even though they are getting a small fortune in food stamps. They get food stamps… and free school breakfasts… and free school lunches (and in D.C., free school dinners) … and free food for the kiddies at city sites during the summer… and, oh, where was I?

Early this morning, the City claimed that city buses were running 85-95 percent, and if you believe that, I have a great deal for you on a slightly used bridge. The city buses don’t run at that rate, when the weather’s fine. For instance, between 7 and 8 a.m., when I have to get my son to school, the city bus we use is supposed to run every eight minutes, i.e., 7-8 times per hour. He insists that it only runs at most every 14-15 minutes, i.e., at most four times per hour, and far be it from me to doubt him. For instance, in recent weeks, the white 7:42 driver, who is decent enough, except that when shows up, he’s usually 4-5 minutes early, he either hasn’t been showing up, or has rotated out to another time or route and not been replaced, and the 7:50 guy is a racist black cuss I wrote about at VDARE on November 8. (The racist black guy had rotated out of that slot for about a year, when he was replaced by a racist black lady, but now he’s back, and daily seeking to provoke another confrontation with me.) Sometimes during that rush hour, on normal days, you can wait over 20 minutes for a bus.

Time-Warner’s NY1 all-propaganda channel showed black riders (in Harlem?) with freezing feet waiting forever for city buses, so the situation isn’t limited to us, though one bus line (Q53) has been radically beefed up over the past two or three years.

However, our bus line has been unofficially cut back since Hurricane Sandy. The city did this under King Mike Bloomberg, by shortening the route, i.e., shorting our predominantly white neighborhood, and things have not improved under Mayor De Blah-Blah-Blah.

We’re at the West End of the Rockaways, but this bus runs from one end of the Peninsula to the other. What the city did was cut down (unofficially) on the number of buses starting out at the West End and running eastbound through our neighborhood to the black East End. Every eastbound bus that runs through our neighborhood goes all the way to black Far Rockaway, but a substantial proportion –some days, at least half—of the westbound buses starting in Far Rock are now “shuttle buses” that terminate half a mile east of us. Of course, we’re a net taxpayer zone, while the black and Hispanic folks getting full bus service are all taxeaters, so they get the services, while we get the shaft.

To make a short story long, for our bus to be running 85-95 percent of its scheduled runs would require it to run 80-100 percent better than usual.

Well, unlike during the Hurricane Sandy crisis, at least we have heat and hot water today. Oh, but that’s because we just paid a fortune to have a plumber replace our boiler’s flow switch and mixing valve during two separate visits. But our colored fellow citizens will make good on that, to compensate for us feeding their kids, and paying for their (in addition to our own kid’s) education, with our property taxes...

right?

Right?

Right?!
