NEW YORK, NY – In a guest essay for the New York Times published on Friday, Chris Cuomo has been accused of sexual harassment by a TV producer at his previous employer, ABC News, back when the current CNN anchor was hosting the eponymous show “Cuomo Prime Time.”
Cuomo – bother of disgraced former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo who resigned from office this past August after also being accused of sexual harassment by multiple women – is said to have been grabbing and squeezing former ABC News executive producer Shelley Ross’ buttocks at a party in 2005 without asking her permission first.
“I was at the party with my husband, who sat behind me on an ottoman sipping his Diet Coke as I spoke with work friends,” Ross said. “When Mr. Cuomo entered the Upper West Side bar, he walked toward me and greeted me with a strong bear hug while lowering one hand to firmly grab and squeeze the cheek of my buttock.”
The victim also has provided an email purportedly authored by Cuomo where he seems to admit to the groping and expressed his apologies.
Cuomo – host of “Cuomo Prime Time” on CNN since 2018 – had already courted controversy for his lack of coverage of his brother’s own harassment allegations, as well as advising him in private by reportedly telling his brother that he shouldn’t resign from office and blaming the entire situation on “cancel culture.”

One of Andrew Cuomo’s accusers, Lindsey Boylan, expressed her support for Ross on Twitter by thanking her for taking a stand over the alleged harassment, and asked Chris Cuomo to take responsibility for his actions.
Thank you Shelley Ross. Your focus on accountability is exactly right.
“Thank you Shelley Ross. Your focus on accountability is exactly right,” Boylan said. “@ChrisCuomo will you hold yourself accountable?”
Cuomo provided a statement to the New York Times prior to the essay’s publication, reiterating his regret over the incident.
“As Shelley acknowledges, our interaction was not sexual in nature,” he said. “It happened 16 years ago in a public setting when she was a top executive at ABC. I apologized to her then, and I meant it.”
As of press time, CNN has not issued any comments or statements on the allegation against Cuomo.
DELRAY BEACH, FL – That proverb, that was coined by English writer, John Heywood, in 1546, uncannily refers to today’s Democrat Party. I’m sure that the Democrats realize that they have bought a “pig in a poke” in their supposedly “elected” president, Joe Biden, but they don’t want to admit it.
It is quite obvious, that in the Democrats desire to get rid of Donald Trump, they brought all their political might (the news media, Hollywood, academia, Silicon Valley and social media etc.) to push Joe Biden over the finish line to have him become president. The way it looks now, the Democrats might just rue the day they chose a cognitively challenged candidate to be the one to take down Trump from being re-elected. It’s only been nine months since Biden took office, but it has been one disaster after another that has befallen his administration, with no end in sight.
First off, the election of Biden itself was tainted with dubious election practices around the country months and weeks before the election of 2020, especially in the “battleground states”, with charges of fraud permeating throughout the various states. Any rational, unaffiliated human being who observed the election of 2020, had to come to the conclusion that there was “something rotten in Denmark”. How could a candidate, with such obvious shortcomings, garner over 80 million votes by campaigning mostly from his basement bunker, while his opponent was campaigning, all over the country, to crowds that sometimes reached 20,000 in attendance at those rallies? It has been reported that many voters were turned off by Trump’s style, personality, and Tweets, but could that really be the reason how Biden supposedly got seven million more votes? Me thinks I smell a rat!
Since the Democrats got their wish by preventing Trump having a second term, they are now saddled with a leader who is taking them down the “Road to Perdition”, as they seem to be blinded to the facts by their loony liberal ideology.
The off year election in 2022, when both the majority of the Senate and House are in play, will be as test case as to whether the electorate wants to go down the road of socialism rather than what the Founding Fathers gave us, the institution of capitalism? Already the talking heads of some influential Democrats see the writing on the wall as to the massive defeat they expect by losing both the Senate and the House in 2022. That is one of the reasons why the Senate and House leadership are pushing their massive spending plans while they still are in the majority. Once they lose the majority in Congress, their push for European-style socialism will be stymied by the Republicans, as well it should.
The blindfolded Democrats realize that Joe Biden has screwed up by excessively using his “executive order” pen to get rid of many of the Trump policies that were working just fine. Those stupid acts of revenge on the part of Biden, has caused inflation to arise in most areas of life, especially in energy (gas prices) and food stuffs. They also have downplayed the disaster of the Afghan pullout by leaving many U.S. citizens and Afghan aides behind under Taliban control. The Democrats also have been “circling the wagons” to sugarcoat the disaster at our southern border, which, for all intents and purposes, is wide open for illegal migrants to migrate into our country illegally (it is estimated that over a million illegals will be admitted into our country just this year alone).
In addition to those disasters listed above, the Democrats are blinded to how Joe Biden carries out his duties as president, whereby it seems that he is being manipulated, like a puppet, by his close handlers in the White House. It is quite obvious, to a rational observer, that Biden is incapable of leading the nation. It wouldn’t surprise me if the “movers and shakers” of the Democrat Party, convinces Biden to step down, using health reasons as an excuse, or they might use the 25th Amendment to have him leave the White House (a long shot at best).
So, in conclusion, our headline of “There are None so Blind as Those Who Will Not See” should be placed upon the heads of those who still support Biden even in the face of all that I have enumerated about his woeful job performance. The one caveat is that if Biden goes, what do we have to took forward to, President Kamala Harris? That’s a “Hobson’s Choice” if there ever was one.
According to a new report by the Congressional Research Service, Biden and his wife used an S Corporation tax strategy that let the couple pay Medicare taxes on just $800,000 of their $13 million in earnings from book sales and speaking fees in 2017 and 2018.

Biden has been pushing for a $3.5 trillion spending bill that, in part, would make the wealthy in the United States “pay their fair share” by raising their taxes, but Republican lawmakers – including Banks, who requested the CRS report – are now taking the wealthy president to task for apparently not paying his own “fair share.”
“Joe Biden wants to raise taxes by $2.1 trillion while claiming the rich need to pay their ‘fair share.’ But in 2017, multimillionaire Joe Biden skirted his payroll taxes…the very taxes that fund Medicare and ObamaCare,” Banks said. “According to the criteria CRS provided to my office, he owes the IRS and the American people hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes. Every American should know about Joe Biden’s tax hypocrisy.”
Banks claimed indicates that Biden exploited a tax code loophole involving improperly using “S corporations” to skip paying Medicare taxes relating to sales of books and personal appearance speaking fees in 2017 and 2018.
“Joe Biden wants to raise taxes by $2.1 trillion while claiming the rich need to pay their 'fair share,'” @RepJimBanks told the NY Post. “But in 2017, multi-millionaire Joe Biden skirted his payroll taxes — the very taxes that fund Medicare and Obamacare.https://t.co/NpRGOUU90t
The CRS report does not specifically name Biden, but instead provides information on cases won by the IRS against taxpayers who exploited the “S corporations” accounting trick to avoid paying Medicare taxes.
Biden and his wife, first lady Jill Biden, released their tax returns while he was running for president, they revealed that the couple only counted less than $800,000 of their $13 million in earnings during 2017 and 2018 as being eligible for Medicare taxes via the “S corporations” loophole, according to reports, avoiding paying as much as $500,000.
Hey, Joe–before you raise everyone else's taxes, maybe you ought to pay your OWN taxes…or as you would call it, your “FAIR SHARE.” Don't be a tax cheat Mr. President!

BOCA RATON, FL – When referring to any group as a squad, one immediately conjures up a militaristic fighting unit, never a bunch of friends or social group. So, the designation of a clump of radical Congressional Leftists, women of color no less, as, “The Squad,” should capture our attention and sound an alarm. The roster of this sordid, powerful group of overt Jew haters include Congresswomen, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley and Pramila Jayapal. All of them, supposedly fringe Democrats, whose overt radical views seem to be rapidly seeping into their party’s mainstream policies, have a deeply rooted hatred of Israel and will do all in their clearly evident blossoming power to bring the Jewish State to its knees. They did just that this past Tuesday in seeing to it that the dollar support in appropriations to help replenish Israel’s quickly depleting Iron Dome arsenal was shamelessly deleted from a House measure vote. Their power over their party is shocking.
In a quick response to an alarmed public’s response to this omission, House Democrat Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro, a Connecticut Democrat, hastily introduced a supplemental bill to replenish the Iron Dome missile defense system that was thankfully approved on Thursday. This caused an angry and frustrated Rashida Tlaib, the Michigan representative, to tweet in opposition to the Iron Dome funding: “I will not support a standalone supplemental bill of $1 billion to replenish the bombs Israel used to commit war crimes in Gaza.” Dumb as dirt stupidity from this Palestinian-American Jew hater. Even the fact that our funding was reinstated to Israel in another measure two days later was “too little too late” for us. The Squad’s swelling power over their associates sent shivers up our spines. Will it grow?
I plan on casting a no vote.
We must stop enabling Israel's human rights abuses and apartheid government. https://t.co/2ewRJDe7uK
This issue stirred to life a Far Left Radical group, CODEPINK, to again display its overt Jew hating to the public. Its long time “Jewish” leader, a strong BDS advocate, co-director and Middle East analyst, Ariel Gold, supported the radical Squad with these words: “The United States already provides $3.8 billion annually to Israel which is used to terrorize, oppress and bomb Palestinians. Removing an additional $1 billion for Israel is an incredible success towards our goals of ending the blank check and impunity that Israel, an apartheid state has enjoyed for far too long.”
This lunatic group was joined by their partners in hate, Human Rights Watch and B’Tselem, who lamented, “While Israel is able to use its Iron Dome to shoot down missiles from Gaza, Palestinians in Gaza have no such protection from the massive bombs that Israel drops on civilian populations.” Imagine, during WWII, Americans complaining, whining that Germans didn’t have the equivalent anti-aircraft weaponry to shoot down Allied planes. What would have been the reaction from their neighbors? Where are the (Progressive) pro-Israel advocates now? Where is the move to unseat these anti-American, Anti-Israel witches from their seats in Congress? The lack of any outcry from our Jewish citizenry, as well, scares us. Is overt Jew/Israel hating becoming the norm?
We are concerned that over the past 13 years, open Jew/Israel hating has grown like weeds in this country. It is now acceptable for groups to openly espouse such dangerous bigotry. Anyone speaking ill of blacks, demeaning them in any manner shape or form, would be immediately condemned, repudiated and called out as a bigot. But sadly, the same is not true of Jew haters. Take for instance, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) organization which has, since its inception, openly supported the BDS movement to strangle Israel. This group sent their delegations to Palestine in open support of the destruction of Israel. Strangely relevant at this time, in support of stopping U.S. aid to Israel, BLM published a Stop Military Expenditures Brief a few years back that could have been the blueprint for the Squad’s call for our military aid for Israel to be shut down. Yet, ADL Director, Jonathan Greenblatt, scolded those who express concern over the movement’s underlying antisemitism, as the Jewish Voice has done, stating: “There are those who are attempting to smear this movement (BLM) as inherently antisemitic. It is not. And he leads the ADL?
To add to Jewish groups disgusting fawning over these black bigots, on August 28, 2020, a full page ad was published in the NYT to endorse BLM. Claiming to be the agent for the majority of American Jews, the ad represented Jewish organizations from across the spectrum, “speaking in one voice,” to support this radical black group. Anyone who had the audacity to evidence concern over the movement’s antisemitism were racists and white supremacists. Among the the proud sponsors was the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA), the umbrella group for such giants as Hadassah, ADL, JWV, The Jewish Federations, ORT and the JCRC’s. Strange, that prior to the House’s initial vote which we all knew would exclude Iron Dome funding, there was no outrage nor signs of concern for this obvious omission. Yet, on its website, the clueless JCPA has called for its supporters to take action to “Help End Police Violence.” What priorities does this major “Jewish” group have? Surely, it is merely a Social Justice one, having not much interest in Jewish causes. Yet their member groups continue to suck in Jewish “Benjamins.”
Again we are voicing our deep concern that Jew/Israel hating is looming large in the near future. Few elected Jewish Democrat legislators and civic leaders have the courage to stand up for what is a just cause… to expose Jew hating. They appear to be intimidated by their comrades in arms. They are too timid, fearful, terrified, traumatized to speak the truth. We ask them to demand that The Squad and others of their hateful ilk be publicly scorned and voted out of their committee assignments and out of office in upcoming elections. They are evil, dangerous and un-American in their values and performance. They have to go. The sooner the better.
According to authorities, Davonte Barnes, 22, of Miami, was a look-out in a mass shooting at a Miami-Dade banquet hall that killed three and injured 20 in May 2021. He was charged with three counts of first degree murder and 20 counts of attempted murder. Barnes is being held without bond.
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FL – Detectives have arrested a Miami man on three counts of first degree murder and 20 counts of attempted murder in relation to the mass shooting at a Miami-Dade banquet hall that killed three and injured 20 in May 2021.
According to authorities, on Thursday, September 23, 2021, Davonte Barnes, 22, of Miami, was transported to the Miami-Dade police homicide bureau for questioning where he ultimately confessed to his involvement in the shooting. Barnes told investigators that he met with other subjects involved in the shooting before it happened, and that he was aware that at least one of the subjects was armed with a firearm and that another subject wanted someone killed. He stated that they also discussed that victim would be at 7630 NW 186 street, in Miami-Dade county, and told investigators he drove to the location of the shooting, in his mothers Nissan Altima and acted as a lookout before the shooting, and reported back to the other subjects whether the victim was present at the location.

Twenty-one other victims were on-scene with gunshot wounds and were transported to various hospitals in both Miami-Dade and Broward County. Ultimately, the shooting killed Clayton Dillard and Desmond Owners, both 26, and 32-year-old Shaniqua Peterson.
Barnes was booked into the Miami-Dade jail late Thursday night and is being held without bond.
Miami-Dade Police Director Freddy Ramirez called the incident a despicable and cowardly act of gun violence. No other information was made available by police related to the other suspects in the shooting.
