Dear New York: I’d Like To Get Handed $100k To Work for the “Department of Sustainable Delivery”
And get $10 million for my kid’s pilot-program child care. Kthx.
NYC’s massive $116B budget cracks down on e-bikes, includes $10M for universal childcare — and millions for immigrant services
ny post | June 27, 2025 | Matthew Fischetti and David Propper
“David, what’s your last name?”
“Propper.”
“I mean your surname.”
“Propper.”
“I mean the name on your paycheck.”
“Propper.”
“That’s what I’m trying to find out!”
Mayor Eric Adams on Friday struck a handshake deal with the City Council on a record-breaking nearly $116 billion budget — which would create a new department to regulate e-bikes, sources said.
The tentative agreement includes $6.1 million for a new “Department of Sustainable Delivery,’’ which would be staffed by 60 people and dedicated to e-bike regulation and enforcement after a recent push by the Adams administration to rein in the two-wheelers. …
The spending plan will also include $10 million for a universal-child-care pilot program — after the issue became a hot topic in the Democratic mayoral primary race.

Democrats: Gotta Go Easy on Drunk Driving Illegal Aliens
” … Bring me the wretched refuse of your teeming shores… “
160 Dems vote against bill to deport foreigners convicted of drunk driving
Not The Bee | June 27, 2025 | Joel AbbottThe Dems often like to frame bills with titles like “Save The Puppies Act” so they can accuse Republicans of hating puppies when the vote divides along party lines, but Republicans weren’t trying to frame anything here.
160 Democrats simply didn’t like the idea of deporting foreign nationals with DUIs.
The name of the bill is literally the “Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act.”
H.R. 875 is named after three victims of drunk driving. Jeremy and Angel Seay, Alabama; newlyweds who were killed by a drunk illegal alien. Sergeant Brandon Mendoza was likewise killed in Mesa, Arizona, in 2014 by a drunk illegal.
Under the Biden admin, illegals were allowed to drive without valid licenses, insurance, or registration. If they got into an accident while drunk, they were usually released. Those who were deported often returned multiple times and faced no penalties.
H.R. 875 reads:
“To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide that aliens who have been convicted of or who have committed an offense for driving while intoxicated or impaired are inadmissible and deportable.”
That’s it. The bill is just over two pages long. All it does is allow foreigners to be deported or denied entry to the U.S. after they have been convicted of or admitted to drunk driving.
160 Democrats voted AGAINST that.
So, Democrats are not against the Corona virus, after all.
They are in favor of you losing your rights after being convicted of drunk driving: don’t get me wrong. But they are not in favor of illegal aliens losing their — well, not exactly rights — after being convicted of drunk driving.

Straight Line of the Day: What Can You Do When the Speechcrime Police Come to Your Door?
Germany’s ‘Speechcrime’ Raids Are a Chilling Sign of Things To Come
The European Conservative | 25 Jun, 2025 | Lauren SmithAt around 6 a.m. this morning, hundreds of people across Germany awoke to police officers at their door. Their only ‘crime’ is to have openly made critical or offensive comments on the internet, many about specific politicians.
…
Suspects have had their tablets, laptops, and phones confiscated, and their homes searched. This operation has been taking place annually for several years now, to enforce paragraph 188 of the German criminal code. This was amended in 2021 to make it a criminal offence to insult a political figure, punishable by a maximum sentence of three years in prison.
According to the BKA, there were 10,732 crimes related to online hate speech last year—that’s an increase of roughly 34% since 2023. Compared to 2021, the numbers have quadrupled. Naturally, the vast majority of the posts being targeted by police come from the right wing of the political spectrum.
From a different source:
A national scandal has erupted when the details of the cases became public, such as the case of a pensioner, Stefan Niehoff, having his house raided over calling former Economic Minister Robert Habeck an “idiot.”
…
In another case, someone criticized CDU leader Friedrich Merz as “drunken.”
Could we call in Ethel Merz to testify? Lucy to do some splainin’?
It is unclear who was targeted in the latest raids and what statements they made.
[[ “Who was targeted?” “Shut up, Klink.” “Yes, sir, shutting up.” ]]
…
As an example of the type of raids going on, last year, a 14-year-old German boy had his house raided for posting a banned hashtag on TikTok, which translated to “Everything for Germany.”

Well, I guess “Everything for IMAO” won’t be playing for drunken German idiots anymore.
