WHEN FOOLS ARE YOUR ONLY OPPONENTS, YOU ARE GUARANTEED TO WIN. THESE FOOLS ARE HOW MAYOR COWEN WAS ELECTED

 

NYC MAYOR MAMDANI, DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST V. REPUBLICAN HACK JOHN COWEN

Yesterday in keeping with his promises, Mayor Mamdani turned down a pay raise.

"New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has rejected a proposed salary increase after the City Council approved a pay hike for top officials. The 34-year-old mayor said he does not plan to accept the extra money. Mamdani said New Yorkers have bigger concerns than the mayor's salary.

His decision aligns with his efforts to reduce government spending and promote affordable housing initiatives.

MILLIONAIRE AND BROWNSVILLE MAYOR JOHN COWEN ON THE PAY RAISE FOR MAYOR IS "SHOW ME THE MONEY"

John is hiding behind the process and effectively putting the blame on the Charter Review Committee.

John Cowen reminds the voters the decision will be theirs on November 6, 2026.  

But in the same way NYC Mayor Mamdani said he will not accept the pay raise; John Cowen can make the same statement.  He will not so long as he can hide behind the skirts on the Charter Review Committee. 

He will show his true colors on the issue on July 21, 2026, when he can vote down the pay raise at the city commission meeting. 

The pay raise is very Trumpian as a loyalty reward for the income challenged city commissioners. 

 

MEXICO CITY'S IMPENDING EARTHQUAKE CRISIS

AND CANADA'S WILDFIRES: WE ARE NOT READY AND TRUMP IS MAKING IT WORSE

AS MEXICO CITY SINKS 10 INCHES A YEAR, WHICH CAN BE SEEN FROM SPACE, TRUMP IS THREATENING CANADA WITH MORE TARRIFS OVER THE WILDFIRES

UPDATE:

It has been brought to my attention and earthquake yesterday was felt from El Salvador to Mexico City.  The earthquake was centered well south of Mexico City. This size earthquake centered in and around Mexico City would have been an international disaster.

ORIGINAL POST

Mexico City has a history of strong earthquakes.  You do not have to be a geologist to understand how unstable the land is beneath Mexico City. We are not ready to help with a mass earthquake in Mexico City. 

The Canadian fires are impacting the air quality in the Northern US states.  

Nature knowns no borders.  Trump's actions towards Canada make clear he is not interested in the global relationship between the three countries.  Any major catastrophe which impacts one, impacts all three.

FROM NEWS SOURCES:

"MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico City is sinking by nearly 10 inches (about 25 centimeters) a year, according to new satellite imagery released this week by NASA, making it one of the world’s fastest-subsiding metropolises.

One of the world’s most sprawling and populated urban areas, at 3,000 square miles (about 7,800 square kilometers) and some 22 million people, the Mexican capital and surrounding cities were built atop an ancient lake bed. Many downtown streets were once canals, a tradition that continues in the rural fringes."

"“It damages part of the critical infrastructure of Mexico City, such as the subway, the drainage system, the water, the potable water system, housing and streets,” said Enrique Cabral, a researcher studying geophysics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. “It’s a very big problem."

"US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose new tariffs on Canada after hundreds of wildfires have left much of the northern US covered by a blanket of smoke.

...

"The United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air," Trump said, threatening to impose new levies over Canada's "willful negligence".

As of Saturday, there were about 955 fires actively burning in Canada, according to the Canadian Wildland Fire Information System - with the majority burning out of control.

More than 190 of those blazes are burning in Ontario, some out of control.

Trump said in his post to Truth Social that he would call Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to demand an explanation over his country's "willful negligence," accusing the country of "not properly maintaining" their forests and brush.

Fronton in Spanish means bluff.  This area was a bluff overlooking the Rio Grande before the upriver dams.

The son of Mexican immigrants put on a federal judge's robe when no one who looked like him ever had.

Reynaldo G. Garza grew up in Brownsville, Texas, one of many children in a hardworking family, and became a lawyer and a pillar of his community. In 1961 President Kennedy appointed him to the federal bench, making him the first Mexican American United States federal district judge in the nation's history.

He was respected across party lines for his fairness and his humility, and he never forgot the barrio he came from. He later turned down a cabinet position, choosing instead to keep serving the people of South Texas he loved. He simply wanted to do the work well and open the door for those behind him.

Every Latino judge who followed walked through a door that Reynaldo Garza opened first.

Had you heard of the first Mexican American federal judge before today?

VICENTE GONZALEZ CANNOT HIDE IN THE SHADOWS AFTER VOTING TO CONTINUE TO FUND ISRAEL'S GENOCIDE OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE

I will assume Vicente's Republican opponent will be no better.  But his opponent is not the one who voted today to continue aid to help Israel with its war of genocide against the Palestinians.

All I can say is not in my name.
