Are MTA Subway Tracks In Queens Being Held Together ByZip Ties

 

Where is the boatload of tax money New York City takes in going?

 

That's likely the main question on the minds of Gotham's citizens this week after the NY Post revealed in a report the latest "feature" of riding the prestigious MTA public transit: there appears to be zip ties holding together subway tracks.

 

While illegal migrants are being treated to stays in four star hotels in Midtown, it appears NYC citizens riding the train at the Rockaway Boulevard A train station in Ozone Park are footing the bill. They have been left asking if the tracks of the subway they have been riding are barely holding on for dear life.

 

Nursing student Kayle Persaud asked the NY Post: “Should I be worried? If I cut one zip tie, does it start to fall?”

Another subway rider told the Post: “The first time I saw it I thought, ‘Hmm… Is it holding the tracks together?'Even the screws look like they’re not all the way in.”

 

A third rider added: “Even if it’s not actually holding the track together, it just looks awful. They could have cut it off or painted it the same color. I hope it’s not holding the tracks together for all the money we pay to travel on the subway.”

 

Zip ties on wooden railroad ties are used to prevent splintering and falling debris, according to a track worker and the MTA. MTA officials stated they mark areas needing future repair and are not a safety concern.

 

However, the MTA's announcement to halt capital projects following Governor Kathy Hochul's delay of the congestion pricing plan has worried commuters. The congestion pricing was expected to generate $1 billion for $15 billion in improvements. Some commuters criticized the use of zip ties, calling them a "ridiculous" look.

 

"Hopefully, it’s just a sign of laziness," said New Yorker Rose Mohammed. “We’re supposed to be the greatest city in the world, and we have zip ties around our tracks?”

 

MTA spokesman Aaron Donovan said: “When inspectors find certain issues, they use ties for temporary protection and to identify locations where following repair crews will make more permanent repairs."

It's not just Joe Biden's age. It's not just his debate debacle, which made the president look slow, old, foggy. It's what's next that truly worries even Biden's biggest supporters.

 

They fear that if three years as president took this much of a toll, Biden could look, act, sound and feel much worse at 86, after five more years. And Democrats would be devastated if Donald Trump won because voters concluded Biden's time has passed.

 

op Democrats worry Biden's situation hits too close to home for too many to ignore. Most people have watched a loved one decline — at first slowly, then dramatically — as they hit their mid-80s. These Democrats fear the party, not just Biden, would pay for ignoring this.

 

A Democratic official talked us through the gentle approach to getting Biden to end his run on his terms. This official, who demanded anonymity for self-evident reasons, said Biden's sister, Valerie Biden, and longtime friend, Ted Kaufman, should make this case to the president:

Robert Hur Emerges As The Clear Winner In The Presidential Debate

 

The presidential debate last night was chilling to watch as President Joe Biden clearly struggled to retain his focus and, at points, seemed hopelessly confused. The winner was clear: Special Counsel Robert Hur. For months, Democrats in Congress and the media have attacked Hur for his report that the president came across as an “elderly man with a poor memory.” Hur concluded that prosecuting Biden would be difficult because a jury would view him as a sympathetic figure of a man with declining mental capabilities. That was evident last night and the question is whether a man who was too diminished to be a criminal defendant can still be a president for four more years.

Hur laid out evidence that President Biden had unlawfully retained and mishandled classified evidence for decades. However, he also concluded that “at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” He found that “it would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him—by then a former president well into his eighties—of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”

What has followed is the usual pile-on in the media with legal analysts, press, and pundits denouncing Hur for his findings.

 

Hur likely does not anticipate any apologies even as commentators on CNN and MSNBC admit that there are now unavoidable questions of Biden’s ability to be the nominee.

 

Democrats have repeatedly insisted that Hur did not find Biden diminished and that he actually was impressed by his memory and mental acuity. Hur contradicted that in his own testimony before Congress.

 

Indeed, the denial campaign took on a bizarre character, particularly when Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D., Wash.) insisted that Hur “exonerated” Biden. Hur pushed back:“I need to go back and make sure that I take note of a word that you used, ‘exoneration.’ That is not a word that is used in my report and that is not a part of my task as a prosecutor.”

 

Jayapal shot back, “You exonerated him.”

 

Hur responded, “I did not exonerate him. That word does not appear in the report.”

 

The debate also further undermines the ridiculous effort of the Biden Administration to continue to withhold the audiotape of the Hur interview as privileged (despite saying that the transcript is not privileged).

 

The debate showed not only what Hur saw but why the Justice Department is making a clearly laughable privilege claim to delay any release of the audiotape until after the election.

All Eyes On Kamala

 

Following Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance last Thursday, top Democrats who have been openly supporting the president's 2024 campaign are privately pushing for him to step out of the race.

According to one source cited by Axios, his family can close advisors are meeting today at Camp David to decide whether to move forward or end his campaign early.

 

Which brings our attention to Vice President Kamala Harris - who polls even worse than Biden in a matchup against former President Donald Trump, according to RealClearPolling.

Following last Thursday's debate, Harris quickly took to the air to defend her running mate's record and ability to perform his duties - however according to The Hill she has also been central to conversations among some Democrats over whether Biden should step aside - putting her at the top of the ticket in November.

 

Harris - whose most notable failure as 'border czar' would certainly come under scrutiny in a Trump vs. Harris election, must now seek to reassure Democrats about their party's chances of success.

 

"The next 30 days it may be up to her to make the case. People will be looking to her and testing her to see if she’s ready," one Democratic donor told the outlet.

France Elects: Macron’s Snap Vote That May Hand Le Pen Keys to Government Starts Today

 

Polling stations for the surprise snap election called by President Emmanuel Macron to shore up his authority opened this morning, but predictions suggests his gamble may not pay off.

 

Globalist leader Emmanuel Macron suffered a stinging defeat at the European Union-wide elections in early June, prompting him to call fresh national legislative elections to assert his authority. The message to the French people appears to be one of rejecting what he saw as a protest vote for Marine Le Pen’s populists, defying the voters to give it a repeat performance for something that actually matters, the French Parliament.

Seth said it better than I did…..but he’s making the point I was trying to make on Friday. Without Biden as the Democrat’s Presidential candidate, they don’t have a name on Wisconsin ballot.

 

Without Wisconsin, Democrats lose.
