While Cuomo and de Blasio fiddle, New Yorkers burn.
The radical Leftist mayor has ruined New York City. In fact, New York City is looking like Caracas. Remember that a vote for Joe Biden in November, is a vote for this horror to come to your neighborhood. Don’t make the same mistake that New Yorker’s made, America. Protect our way of life. Vote for President Trump and the Republicans in November.

Hungry New Yorkers form quarter-mile line for free food in Queens
By New York Post, August 23, 2020
The line stretched a quarter-mile before the sun was barely up Saturday, snaking around corners like bread lines in the 1930s. But the hungry in Queens are today’s New Yorkers, left jobless by the coronavirus.
Until the pandemic struck the city, La Jornada food pantry used to hand out groceries to roughly 1,000 families a week. Now, the number tops 10,000. And volunteers serve lunch every day to 1,000 — many of them kids with growling stomachs. Across the five boroughs, the hungry is in the hundreds of thousands, the Food Bank of New York estimates.
“It reminds me of the picture from the Great Depression where a man in a suit and tie is giving another man in a suit and tie an apple. That’s all he had,” La Jornada’s Pedro Rodriguez told The Post. “We give all we have, but that’s not enough.”
Seniors, moms and kids, singles — many immigrants from China and Mexico — wait for hours. They turn out in droves wherever, and whenever, the food pantry’s truck shows up.
“We feel like we are underwater, drowning in a tsunami of people,” Rodriguez, a volunteer who acts as the food pantry’s executive director, told The Post. “This isn’t like a little rain coming down. The numbers are unbelievable.”
In less than an hour Saturday, Rodriguez and his army of other volunteers — nearly 400 spread across Queens — checked off almost 250 names from the appointment list.

Biden and the neo-bolshiveks are setting us up for a new revolution.
Somebody needs to shove that into AOC’s stupid face, then slap her up side the head! We do NOT need idiots like her in our government!
Please!!!! I think that is the best idea ever!
Its hard today to find a fat Chinese! Even the rich. Toilet paper shortage, now I can fear that! But food–in the US? Just go to the nearest Church! Pleeeese.
This chick just put police on her street so she and her family aren’t bothered by Democrats. The rest of the city can go to hell as far as she’s concerned. Chicago should be going nuts over that.
Bernie Sanders will be pleased.
send the migrants home. The rest don’t look particularly underfed/undernourished.
Consider the governor of MN.. He just said rent no longer has to be paid.. Can you recall him?
Democrats are in many ways like the proverbial abusive husband or ex-husband whose spouse bailed out on him and he pulls every trick in the book to lure her back – and G-d forbid if he succeeds, then he reverts to his vicious type.
free more criminals. It will make you safer! So HE says.
Ms. Geller, why not leave NYC? I don’t see why anyone would tolerate such nonsense.
She sure isn’t getting any justice in the courts.
Well, Cuomo, DeBlasio, and the hipsters did it.
They turned NYC into the Soviet Union with it’s bread lines.
Way to go, guys!……Jerks.
remember the bread and soup lines of WWII? well here is a taste.
If the shootings keep up, there will be few food deliveries to resupply the distribution centers. Truckers aren’t interested in making deliveries in a war zone.
Not without combat pay!!!!
An air drop will fix things.
Lining up for food is the future of America under the Democrat-Fascist-Marxist Party. Biden intends to shut down America if elected President; this is a death knell for the Republic’s businesses, its citizens, and its significance worldwide. This statement, in itself, foretells the Democrats’ contrived design to destroy America’s economy and subjugate the ‘We the People’ with an autocratic, dictatorial government. NYC’s lining up for food harbingers the eventuality for this entire nation.
What Biden Soros and the Dems want for the entire country.
You’re absolutely correct. Until we come for them. Then they want trials with obozo judges to let them go.
Great Documentary. Magnificent. Good Night from Edmonton. Canada.
free stuff.
Yet De blasio and Cuomo just gave the elite celebrities, flying in for the VMA’s (Video Music Awards) an EXEMPTION from New York’s two week quarantine order. Yup, if you are one of the Trump hating Democrats, you apparently are incapable of spreading Covid, and you don’t have to follow the rules that they put in place for the regular citizens, you know, the slobs. Just as with all Marxism, the elites at the top are special, they will always get enough and then some. This is why they promote Marxism, because it’s all the same to them! They know they’ll get even when we don’t. What is hard to understand is how average Americans can’t understand that. Venezuela is a great example. They had to eat their zoo animals!
DICKtators are allowed to run their shytholes as they wish!
Everyplace where the libturd dumocraps control has been turned into a shythole tax eating bottomless pit.
Americans, yes this is bad but don’t take your eyes off the real danger which is islam. Like rust, islam never sleeps in its treachery to destroy Western Civilization. They are constantly working to incite these troubles. The attack against the statues is demanded by the koran and is precursor to invading. Arson is rampant in Ca.
A vote for a democrat is a vote to put America under islamic sharia slavery!!!
“It’s funny, sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is, that people are lining up for food. That is a good thing! In other countries people don’t line up for food: the rich get the food and the poor starve to death.”
Bernie Sanders in the 1980’s talking about the breadlines in Nicaragua.
But, of course, that is exactly what Stalin did to the Ukrainians in 1932.
