News about Bill de Blasio

Bill de Blasio, the former mayor of New York City, was seen walking around Manhattan today, unconcerned by the commotion and bustle of the big apple around him. De Blasio, 61, sported a pair of blue athletic shorts that fell below the knee, white socks reaching just over his ankles, New Balance boots, and the company's emblem "Brooklyn" is embroidered across the chest. The former mayor was seen strolling around town with a frown on his face, right across from the Empire State Building in Midtown. Despite being mingled among many New Yorkers, not a single person seemed to be concerned about the ex-mayor's presence in their company. The deposition occurred just as De Blasio is set to begin a teaching fellowship at Harvard University's schools of government and public health.

Since teachers and classroom aides refused to show proof of getting the COVID vaccine, the New York City Department of Education has suspended them. Almost a year ago, 1,300 educators were waiting for the opportunity. 450 people did, with some deciding to present proof of vaccination by September 5. It means that almost 2,000 school teachers have been suspended for failing to comply with the vaccine law, which was introduced last October.

On Sunday, families of the nearly 3,000 people killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks gathered in lower Manhattan to commemorate the lives lost. In the engraved names of the soldiers who died 21 years ago, mourners were seen weaving flags with red and blue stripes. Some people carried flowers as they took pictures of their loved ones. Many moments of silence are planned to commemorate the times each of the Twin Towers was struck and crashed, as well as the Pentagon attack and United Airlines Flight 93's crash.

In a passionate speech from the Pentagon honoring the 21st anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, Joe Biden reiterated his call for Americans to "stand up" for democracy. The president said that Americans 'owe it' to the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks to protect democracy. The president ended his weekend at his Delaware home earlier than expected to return to a rainy Washington, D.C., to lay a wreath at the Pentagon 9/11 memorial and make a speech on the 21st anniversary of the attack.

On Sunday, Kamala Harris attended the commemoration at the National September 11 Memorial Museum, which is located at ground zero, to mark the 21st anniversary of the terrorist attacks. During her trip to the Big Apple as part of a pre-recorded interview with NBC's Meet the Press host Chuck Todd, the vice president said that domestic threats to democracy should be treated in the same way as foreign terrorists. Doug Emhoff, a second gentleman, joined Harris in New York City on Sunday.

The 9/11 Justice Group is urging New York City Mayor Eric Adams to announce his endorsement of the Aramco series, which is scheduled to be held at a Trump Organization golf course in New York. The Aramco Team Series, which has been sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour, will host its fourth event of the season at the Trump Golf Links in Ferry Point, Bronx, on October 13-15, according to city officials. Sponsor Aramco is Saudi Arabia's official oil company and the Public Investment Fund (PIF), which has come under severe backlash, is the country's top 'presenting partner.'

According to reports, a Trump Organization New York golf course is scheduled to host a Saudi Arabia-backed women's tournament in October. Following the introduction of the controversial Saudi-backed LIV Golf Series, which is competing with the traditional PGA Tour in the men's tournament, golf has been in the news for months. According to The New York Times, the Aramco Team Series, as part of the women's schedule, will take place at the Trump Links Ferry Point course in the Bronx, New York.

According to the New York Police Department's latest policy, officers are not permitted to 'congregate or engage in unnecessary talk' unless it is a 'police necessity.' Supervisors are encouraged to 'ensure' the officers are not congregating or engaged in unnecessary discussion, according to another piece of the study, which was released on Tuesday. It comes just two weeks after Mayor Eric Adams admonishing a patrol boss, pointing to two officers standing on a street corner and telling their boss that "they should not all be congregating together." Rather, he suggested that "scattering out" be avoided so that we can guarantee safety and deploy troops.'

Tucker Carlson chastised Harvard for recruiting Bill Blasio to teach at the university on Wednesday night, saying that the former mayor's 'oversaw the resurgence of the bubonic plague in New York.' Bill de Blasio does not get stuff done,' Carlson said. He only lasted eight years, and the country's biggest city was virtually destroyed.' He sluggishly criticized de Blasio's failed bid for Congress, and said that the 61-year-old needed the Harvard job to compensate him for his 'weed use.' The mayor has not smoked marijuana since college, according to him.

On Tuesday, polls in New York and 7 p.m. in Florida as Democrats from around the country watch how the country's key races in those two states play out. In New York City, at least one committee chair is missing, while Florida voters are choosing who will run against Republican Governor Ron DeSantis in November. Rep. Matt Gaetz, who is investigating the sex trafficking of an underage teen is expected to win his primary election in Florida's 1st congressional district.

Mayor Eric Adams of New York City fired back at journalists who followed him for a month to announce that he is a regular at Osteria La Baia, a high-end Manhattan restaurant. The mayor suggested that the Times be covering other topics in a news conference on Monday afternoon, implying that he has a favorite restaurant. He denied allegations that he ate his meals at the restaurant for free, saying he did not have to show receipts to refute the assertion, and said he joined members-only club Zero Bond.

I was growing up in small-town Western Kansas, but I couldn't afford to go to New York until I was 21 years old. It was on a Chinatown bus when I did make my grand arrival. I bought it out of my own pocket. Since I requested a cab to take me to my hotel near the Waldorf Astoria area, I requested a taxi. I was eventually told that I was not a visitor at the Waldorf, despite the fact that the taxi driver quickly revealed that I was unintentionally dressed in my Gap dress and department store boots. That's not the tale about the busloads of migrants being ferried into the city from Texas and Arizona after first illegally entering the country and being housed, on the taxpayers' dime, at luxurious New York City hotels. On Thursday, New York City's Department of Social Services requested an additional 5,000 hotel rooms to accommodate New York's newest visitors. That's on top of the 1,000 rooms the city revealed last week at The Row, a four-star Times Square resort.

The city of New York City has denied nearly 5,000 claims against the city for the city's destruction by the destructive and deadly Hurricane Ida, claiming that the city is not responsible for the city's damages from the city's 'extraordinary and heavy rainfall.' Last September, the hurricane passed through the Big Apple, dropping nine inches of rain in some areas and killing 13 people. When the municipal sewer system became overloaded by the deluge, several victims were trapped in basement apartments that flooded to the ceiling. At the time, city and state officials admitted that they were caught flatfoot by the flood and that storm storm warnings were late.

Despite New York's newly proclaimed bail reform laws, DailyMail.com cameras caught Jamel Pringle, 39, being notably denied bail for the first time on Thursday. According to the New York Post, police had previously joked that Pringle had amassed 'frequent flier miles' because of the fact that only give out bail for serious crimes. Under a new law that allows repeat criminals to be rated with bail, a New York judge had at least ordered him to post bail in February, saying, "It'll take me all day to go through this rap sheet."

At about 7.10 p.m. on Wednesday night, ten masked robbers assaulted Revel Jewelers on East Fordham Road in the Bronx, where they smashed up display cases with hammers. One suspect brandished a rifle, but another unloaded a can of bear spray at the six employees who were shopping. The gang gang escaped from Elm Place south, showcasing a blue sedan. No arrests had been made, and police say their probe into is ongoing. All six store employees were taken to a nearby hospital and treated for bear spray exposure. The brash-and-grab style heist is the latest in a string of similar homicides in NYC in recent months.
