>>20435556 All NY businesses should be worried after Trump verdict (PN)
Hoschul cannot be governor of the state of NY. She misses the whole point of the persecution of a conservative and large business owners. Years ago tons of large companies left New York because of the Affordable care Act and what NY added on by taxes etc.and how expensive to be domiciled there. They would definitely leave because of the state bias. PS they lost millions of people because of the covid insane lock downs. It’s stupid to believe corporations are not breaking the law daily. PDJT did nothing wrong, it seems she’s saying because it was Donald Trump this happened. Did she just admit political bias? Of course, thats how stupid and corrupt they are
Anyone that Leticia James can’t shake down, she’ll sue them, and if they are conservative or Trump supporters it will be three times worse.
NY needs to wake up and get rid of Democrats
NY’s $6 billion consumer home care Medicaid program in Gov. Hochul’s crosshairs after years of fraud and abuse
By Social Links forVaughn Golden.1/2
Published Feb. 16, 2024, 7:10 a.m. ET
A burgeoning $6 billion Medicaid program allowing New Yorkers to get paid to take care of elderly adults —which critics say has been vulnerable to fraud and abuse for years — is in Gov. Kathy Hochul’s crosshairs.
Hochul, as part of this year’s budget negotiations, is proposing making changes to the program, such as setting limits on the number of hours those employed can work, that her administration estimates will save the state $100 million.
The Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP) — which has exploded in popularity over recent years —has been criticized over lax eligibility requirements, lack of oversight, and abuse.
The governor’s amendment to this year’s proposed $233 billion state budget, submitted Thursday, would give theDepartment of Health expanded oversight and regulatory powers over the CDPAP.
The DOH would havebroad regulatory authority to reign in fiscal middlemen trying to game the system, by setting a limit on the number of financial intermediaries that can operate in the state.
As part of the program, businesses and nonprofits can profit by essentially working as a payroll agent between Medicaid and the CDPAP caregivers.
In 2020, the FBI busted one such Brooklyn-based firm for a multi-million dollar fraud scheme in which the group manipulated the hours of CDPAP care workers in order to pocket state and federal Medicaid funds.
Federal investigators found one CDPAP caregiver was on a cruise while billing hours in taxpayer cash. The firms are known to advertise on TV to enlist home health aides.
The program has also been the subject of one viral TikTok video that raised questions about possible fraud.
Critics, including unions for home health aides, haveslammed the CDPAP over eligibility requirements, including that those getting paid as caregivers don’t need to have a healthcare background.
There are currently 250,000 New Yorkers enrolled in CDPAP across the state, the latest Medicaid enrollment report data show — up more than 78% from 140,000 in 2015.
Hochul’s budget chief, Blake Washington, said the program was something that needed to be “addressed,” during a Citizens Budget Commission forum Thursday morning.
“What we’re doing here by having widened the net so greatly, is we’re inviting abuses to the system. We’re hurting the program that we value for the consumers that need it the most,” he said.…

“It’s something we’re very very concerned with. We won’t change it overnight, but it’s something that needs to be addressed.”
The administration estimates the proposed changes to the CDPAP will save the state around $100 million yearly, Washington told reporters after the forum.
Advocates for CDPAP push back against the notion that the program is dominated by fraud and emphasized the important role it plays in filling what they frame as a gap in personal assistance for needy New Yorkers.
Bryan O’Malley, Executive Director of the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Association of New York State told the Post he supports measures to keep the “middlemen” firms honest and transparent, but the specifics should be spelled out in the law.
“Setting standards isn’t bad, clarifying what those standards are in law before everyone has to live by them is an important process of that though,” O’Malley said. “We want to root out the bad actors. We always wanted to root out the bad actors. We want to know what we have to live with before we have to live with it.”
O’Malley said he would be okay with a revised process to register those middlemen firms, but he slams any effort by the Health Departmentto use that process to slim down the number of those agencies like the Governor is proposing.
Hochul’s budget proposal has already floated cutting an additional $1.55 per hour boost that CDPAP home care workers in New York City as well Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester counties receive on top of a minimum wage.
Eliminating that wage supplement would save the state around $200 million per year, according to the budget.
(Nothing in NY government is honest or managed properly. The Mob runs everything there.)

Record 5,363 NYPD cops injured on job in 2023 — with over 1,200 hurt in struggles with suspects in last 3 months
Updated Feb. 18, 2024,
The beat goes on.
A total of 1,286 NYPD officers were injured in battles with suspects over the last quarter of 2023, bringing the final annual tally to a record 5,363 injured cops, department data show.
The 40th Precinct in Mott Haven,the Bronx, was the most dangerous battleground, where 135 cops were injured during struggles with lawbreakers, the stats show.
Next, with 129 injuries, was the 75th Precinct in Brooklyn, which covers East New York and Cypress Hills.
The 46th Precinct (128), 44th Precinct (126) and 47th Precinct (117), all in the Bronx, rounded out the Top 5 most dangerous areas for the city’s Finest.
“No real surprises here – all very busy commandswhere perps are emboldenedto fight,” observed one law enforcement source.
Radical protests, an influx of criminal migrants, bail reform, anti-cop rhetoric and soft-on-crime prosecutors is the brewthat fuels the dangerous and disturbing trend, experts told The Post.
Police Benevolent Association President PatrickHendry called the assaults on NYPD cops a “full-blown epidemic.”He added: “Even the simplest summonses are turning into all-out brawls. Our justice system needs to send aclear message, once and for all — is you assault a police officer, you will stay in jail.”
The number of cops hurt by suspects surged 20% in 2022, when 4,724 uniformed officers suffered injuries in attacks, compared to 3,933 in 2021. The 5,363 attacks in 2023 was 13% higher than the previous year (4,737).
The war against cops has officers searching for greener pastures.
Former NYPD Lt. Rob Corbett, 50, was assaulted and bloodied during the George Floyd protests/riots in May 2020.
He was hit in the face with a flying brick while trying to keep the peace near the Barclay Center in Brooklyn and later in Clinton Hill.
Corbett, who needed stitches and extensive dental work, retired in April 2022 after25 yearson the job andhightailed it to Florida, where he’s now a cop near Orlando.
“I couldn’t do it [the NYPD job] anymore, given the state of the laws, you know, the changes to the laws and all of that stuff as well,” Corbett told The Post this week. “So it wasn’t the profession it was just where I was doing the profession.”
Corbett, who has two kids, a 12-year-old boy, and 14-year-old girl, said his new job has given him a new outlook.
“It’s so much friendlier down here. You know, it’s a better place to be a cop and the laws are so much better,” he explained. “I gave up my rank and my seniority, you know, started from scratch at a huge pay cut. But the quality of life is a million times better.”

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo addresses power women’s gathering at hedge funder’s NYC pad
Published Feb. 18, 2024, 5:30 a.m.
Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo addressed a group of women activists, donors and movers and shakers at the Central Park West home ofThird Point hedge funder Daniel Loeb and his philanthropist, filmmaker wife, Margaret Munzer Loeb, we hear.
Sources said that the recent session was on combating antisemitism in New York.
An invitation to the event went out from political fundraising consultant Jennifer Bayer Michaels saying, “As darkness surrounding October 7th continues to be a burden difficult to bear, many of us are seeking answers, strategies and coping mechanisms in dealing with the multitude of issues within our government and beyond.”
The email continued, “There have been so few answers and far few strategic plans to tackle this gargantuan problem our Jewish community faces. A source of support for me has been the guidance and counsel of former GovernorAndrew Cuomo. His affection for Israel runs deep. His strategic advice has been invaluable.”
“I’d like to be able to share his ideas and input on where we go from here with those of us who seek to make an impact for our community and positively affect change.”
Co-hosts of the meeting, according to the email, included venture capitalistLisa Blau (who is also the wife of Related Companies CEO Jeff T. Blau), entrepreneur Lynn Zises and Simone Levinson (who’s also the wife of real-estate investor David Levinson).
Margaret Loeb also attended the women’s group at her home, spies said.
Said a source: “The room was jam-packed with people… looking for direction from Governor Cuomo.”
Another source said that, “He spoke deliberately and with such purpose,” and that the talk generated a lot of support for the former pol.
A Cuomo rep declined comment, but said: “This is a time for purpose-driven action, and Governor Cuomo looks forward to working with likeminded people to support the Jewish community during these daunting times.”
Cuomo has been attempting a behind-the-scenes comeback.
He’s previously spoken at a prominent Brooklyn Democratic club gathering, as well as at events in the Hamptons, and met with Mayor Eric Adams as well as the formerpresident of the Hotel Trades Council.
There has been buzz that he could potentially run for mayor of NYC, and polls have suggested he could beat Adams in a primary.
Cuomo resigned as governor under threat of impeachment in 2021 after a number of women accused him of sexual misconduct, and he denied the accusations.
Cuomo later said he regretted stepping down.
He has also recently blasted his own party, including President Biden.

Trump’s historic civil fraud trial ruling could spur an NY business exodus
Charles Gasparino
Published Feb. 17, 2024, 7:40 p.m.
The men and women who run Gotham’s big banks and financial firms have had a long and somewhat tortured history with the former president dating back from his days as a real estate mogul. Yet they see what’s happening to Donald Trump in the byzantineLetitia James bank-fraud prosecutionand the over-the-top penalties issued by astate judge that could bankrupt Trumpover relatively little.
They know they could be next — unless of course, they get out of Gotham, and fast.
That’s the wordI’m getting from top executives at financial services firms, who paid close attention to the Trump case because of its broad implications for their businesses.
For years they’ve eyed the New York State Attorney General’s Office as a nuisance, its occupant using state laws,like the Martin Act, that give it wide latitude to prosecutefinancial crimes (and some petty crimes)for political advancement.
Recall: Before he was known as “Governor Socks,” Eliot Spitzer was the much-feared New York AG, the so-called sheriff of Wall Street, cracking down mostly on minor offenses that forced financial firms to fork over billions.
James’ power plays
James has taken Spitzer’s methods to more dangerous levels,Wall Street executives concede.
She has a well-earned rep for using her bully pulpit for political gain — see the “report” on her rival, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, over sex-abuse allegations that never materialized in prosecution, but did force Cuomo from office.
In Trump, James went further.. She ran for office on thepromise she would prosecute him because putting Trump in jailis supposed to be a top priority in a state where criminals and the criminally insane rule the streets and businesses are leaving in droves, depleting the state’s tax base.
The bankers I speak with aren’t particularly MAGA, far from it. But they can’t believe James was able to turn a nothing burger caseinto a $355 million judgment.
If there’s a crime, they tell me,it’s that James wasn’t disqualifiedafter using her promise to get Trump as a selling point when she ran for the office. Sure.
Trump is a well-known blowhard, but fibbing on a loan application to a major bank that did its own due diligence on a loan that Trump made good on isn’t exactly a capital offense.
It’s not just James causing so much heartburnfor our business community, and expediting plans to get out of town. TheC-suiters also see the state’s dicey politics, the leftists running the state Legislature, theineffectual governorseemingly powerless to reverse laws that aremaking New York unlivable.
Bank execs also fear the Soros-funded Alvin Bragg as the Manhattan district attorney, who busts people like Daniel Penny for defending himself on the subway and Trump for paying hush money to a porn star while their employees must dodge criminals on the way to work.
“It’s embarrassing that this is what you have to put up with to do business here,” one business leader told The Post.
“We look like idiots staying here.”
This is exactly why Goldman Sachs is moving asset-management jobs to Texas; hedge funds are bolting to Florida; private equity titans like Blackstone shifting operations to Miami.
More than $2 trillion in assetsfrom the companiesleaving the city and statefor somewhere that isn’t here over the past four-plus years, I am told.
Expect even more to leavebecause they see the cost of doing business in what’s happening to Trump.
(Hoschul, James, Braggs, and judges will be left with illegal migrants soon)

Trump’s $355M fine won’t hurt NY businesses that follow the law, Gov. Hochul says
Gov. Kathy Hochul on Sunday insisted that the massive $355 million fraud fine slapped against Donald Trump won’t scare away or hurt New York businesses —because most local merchants abide by the law.
“I understand [that the Trump ruling might make New York business people fearful], but this is really an extraordinarily unusual circumstance that the law-abiding, rule-following New Yorkers who are businesspeople have nothing to worry aboutbecause they’re very different from Donald Trump and his behavior,” Hochul said on the “Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 radio.
The New York governor added that she will not second-guess Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron’s determination of the size of the fine against the city’s most famous developer, nor should she.
Now we know why Trump said he wrote a check to any politician that asked him while in NY as a campaign donation

Moscow condemns neo-Nazi march in US
The ‘Blood Tribe’ group has marched through Nashville, Tennessee, openly displaying Nazi symbols and chanting offensive slogans
The US concept of freedom applies exclusively to the “forces of evil” and effectively boils down to unleashing everything that is “taboo,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said, commenting on a recent rally held by the neo-Nazi group ‘Blood Tribe’ in Nashville, Tennessee.
The group’s balaclava-clad members marched through the city on Saturday, carrying black flags bearing Nazi swastikas, while chanting anti-immigration slogans such as “Deportation saves the nation.” Some of the masked individuals woresport shirts with assorted runic symbols commonly used by neo-Nazis worldwide, as well as the code ‘2218’, which stands the slogan ‘Bring back Adolf Hitler’.
The offensive march went on effectively unhindered, with few onlookers confronting the Blood Tribe members, Zakharova noted in a statement on the matter released Sunday. She claimed theUS has consistently made an effort to whitewash the Nazis, namely by repeatedly voting against the UN General Assembly resolution condemning “glorification of Nazism” offered annually by Moscow.
“They cite ‘violation of freedom of speech, assembly’ and so on as the official reason,”Zakharova wrote, adding that the Blood Tribe march served as a glaring example of such “freedom.”
The American concept offreedom apparently applies only to everything evil and serves the goal of “unleashing everything that was tabooed by humanity,” while resisting said evils is punishable, the spokeswoman asserted.
“It’s freedom, everyone is doing what they want. It just turns out that thisapplies exclusively to the forces of evil– such as neo-Nazism, gender experiments on children, legalization of drugs, Satanism, and so on,”Zakharova stated.
Of course, everyone will remain silent. And the White House, and numerous public organizations. Israel will also remain silent. This is supposedly all about something else, and not about Nazism and racism.
While the Blood Tribe rally was apparently ignored by top US officials, it received widespread condemnation in Nashville, with local authorities and lawmakers alike taking to social media to criticize the neo-Nazis.
“That I even have to say this.Nazis are not welcome in Nashville. In America everyone is free to demonstrate and to say what they want, so: shame on you all! Get your hateful, dangerous, fascist, nazi nonsense off our streets and off our beautiful Public Square,”Nashville Vice Mayor Angie Henderson wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
William Lamberth, Tennessee State Representative (R-Portland) and House Majority Leader, expressed a similar sentiment urging the “Nazi thugs” to “go away.”
“This is Tennessee and you are not welcome here.Btw, why not show your faces so we can all see who you are?I would be willing to bet that none of you are from anywhere near here,” Lamberth suggested.
(The US banned communists from being in congress, but they are there. Have Nazis been banned from the US. Why not?)

Notablebecause Macron was going to Ukraine last week and cancelled it because of security threats

Macron scraps Ukraine visit due to ‘security issues’ – media
French President Emmanuel Macron has postponed his planned visit to Ukraine due to security concerns, the French magazine Challenges reported on Sunday.
According to the report, the trip was scheduled for February 13-14. Macron was expected to visit Odessa – Ukraine’s largest Black Sea port – and later arrive in Kiev. The French government has not commented on the reported delay.
The exact dates of foreign leaders’ trips to Ukraine are typically not revealed in advance.
Macron last visited Kiev in June 2022, four months after Russia launched its military operation. The new French foreign minister, Stephane Sejourne, made a visit to the Ukrainian capital in January, where he met with President Vladimir Zelensky and promised more support.
Macron announced last month that France would provide 40 additional SALP-EG air-launched cruise missiles and “hundreds of bombs.” He said he would “finalize” the bilateral security agreement during an upcoming trip Ukraine.
A similar pact that Kiev previously signed with London stipulates that Ukraine will receive “swift and sustained security assistance, modern military equipment across all domains” in the event of a Russian attack in the future.
Russia summoned the French ambassador in January, protesting over “the dozens of Frenchmen” fighting in the Ukrainian army. The French Foreign Ministry has denied Moscow’s claim that it had deployed “mercenaries in Ukraine.” At the same time, Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu said Paris cannot stop “French civilians” from traveling to Ukraine and joining the fight on Kiev’s side.
In early February, France summoned the Russian ambassador over the deaths of two French aid workers in an airstrike in Ukraine.

This was interesting in this article, was Zelensky planning something or did Macron found out their plans, and let them know
“The exact dates of foreign leaders’ trips to Ukraine are typically not revealed in advance.”
He didn’t want to listen to all the Zelensky whining, because he’s not winning and never will
Anons how much longer do you think Zelensky has in Ukraine or on earth? The CIA runs the place so maybe we’ll never know what happened to him. Perhaps the plane goes down on his constant foreign trips? Word is he hasn’t been back to Kiev for months.
