It is but one of the real news stories, history-defining, that is being ignored, scrubbed or whitewashed in media accounts.
It is catastrophic. Cuomo and de Blasio have brought New York to its knees.
Former NY Gov. George Pataki Worried About NYC’s ‘Future’
By Katherine Rodriguez, Breitbart, 18 Jul 2020:
Story continues below advertisementFormer New York Gov. George Pataki says for the first time in his life he is worried about the “future” of New York City.
“For the first time ever, I fear for the future of New York City. The de Blasio administration has been a disaster, and New York has been hit by just decision after decision that really jeopardizes its future,” Pataki, the former three-term Republican governor, told the New York Post, adding, “It’s not just City Hall but Albany too.”
“This cannot be allowed to continue or New York City is going to die,” he added.
Pataki, 75, who has been out of politics for more than a decade, said that crime, the coronavirus, and poor leadership across state and city governments have brought the Big Apple to its knees.
Although Pataki has stayed out of politics, he has kept up with current developments across the state, such as bail reform, rent reform, and ThriveNYC — which resulted in “having mentally ill homeless all over the streets of New York.”
“So many people are going to lose their lives needlessly because of the demonization of the police and the decriminalization of acts where people should be arrested and put away as opposed to turned loose on the street,” he said.
Pataki, who started out as a local mayor of Peekskill, is now spending his time writing books, such as Beyond the Great Divide: How a Nation Became a Neighborhood, and practicing law at Norton Rose Fulbright.
But he has not completely ruled out mounting a bid against current Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, as he has been appalled at some of the executive orders Cuomo has put into place, such as forcing nursing homes to accept elderly people who have tested positive for coronavirus.
“You never say never,” Pataki said, when the Post asked him if he would run again, noting that he would still be “the youth candidate in a [presidential] Democratic primary.”

It could easily be the next Newark or Trenton, NJ. DeBlaizio is in there till 2021 and Cuomo refuses to fire him because he is just as evil and corrupt. They may spar now and then but both have he same agenda. DeBlazio is just more in your face over it and and Cuomo is at record level approval. DeBlazio is too obvious. Cuomo is sneakier.

That de Blasio got in, in the first place, is proof of just how much short memories New Yorkers had had in the years since 9/11 – never mind B.R. (Before Rudy).

I’m likely reiterating other posts but Governor, NYC is sucking its last breath, can’t you hear the death-rattle? De Blasio and Cuomo are Twiddly and Twiddle Dum, both are hell-bent to satiate the wants, demands of the radicalized left. Primarily because, they are one of the same.
BLM, ANTIFA, and the Democrats’ thirst for sedition by meting out terror, fear, hatred, and sedition throughout the Republic. New York City, Seattle, and other Democratic cities or states are the harbingers of this Republic’s fate if this Party and its Marxist allies are not defeated, now.

Die? Bullsh*t. You said the same thing when the late President Ford refused to bail out your fiscally irresponsible ass.

He is correct. NYC is on life support and NYC is not going to make it. It will be one huge slum. Thank you Democrat voters.

PATAKI SHOULD MOVE TO NYC AND RUN AGAINST DE BLASIO TO GIVE THE CITY A CHOICE IF NOT GOVERNOR OF NY AGAIN! THE GOP-CONSERVATIVES OF NY NEED TO ACTIVATE TO SAVE THEIR CITY AND STATE! SUPER SUMMER, RIGHTISTS!
