Melania’s Name
Renaming the Kennedy Center Opera House after First Lady Melania Trump would be quite unfortunate.
During his presidency from 2017 to 2020, Donald Trump never attended the Kennedy Center honors. In fact, he seemed quite uninterested in the center for years.
It’s a shame that lawmakers are pushing Melania’s name into the fundraising bill. Perhaps if she gets involved, there may be some improvements.

Anti-Car Bias
The anti-vehicle policies of our local progressive leaders have contributed to rising violence in parking areas.
It seems that self-serving, progressive politicians have replaced many legal parking spaces with bike stands that aren’t even used. These bike stands could easily be relocated to safer spots like parks or wide sidewalks.
Our city planners are creating dangerous situations, putting driver parks in tricky locations, just to have bike lanes next to curbs that often aren’t safe to use.
Honestly, it raises some questions—are there car enthusiasts on our city council, or do they just want to push public transport? It feels like you can only get around if your camera crew is with you.
Meanwhile, everyday New Yorkers are finding ways to claim what little parking space remains.

Israel Hates
Thanks for highlighting that disreputable social media post by Gineth Nelson.
What puzzles me is why Jewish communities and Israel seem to attract so much attention.
Why aren’t issues like the Uighurs’ oppression in China, Russia’s continued aggression towards Ukraine, or the violence in Nigeria given equal attention?

I’m Tired of Cumshots
It’s hard to ignore the overwhelming presence of evil in the world.
Every day, there are reports of shocking and tragic violence against children. What drives someone to harm their own family like that?
From fathers to sons to husbands, the stories are grim and relentless. It feels as if sorrow is heavy in the air.
The news often highlights the aftermath of shootings and brutal attacks. First, we need to address the criminals—stop them from committing more harm. Then, we ought to open more mental health and drug treatment facilities. A bit of structure might really help this troubled society. Maybe even following the Ten Commandments would be a good idea.

RIP, Ozzy Osbourne
It’s truly sad to hear about Ozzy Osbourne’s passing. Just a few weeks ago, he had a farewell concert with Black Sabbath.
He was an incredible force, a fantastic entertainer, and a true rock legend. My heart goes out to his wife, Sharon, and the entire family during this tough time.
