Mechanic Claims Misunderstanding After Scuffle Outside Gym

Gov. Kathy Hochul‘s (D-NY) decision to backtrack on New York City’s congestion pricing plan reveals not just her dishonest character but also the conservative nature of many New York City residents.  The plan, which would have charged drivers for entering Manhattan’s core business district, was designed to decrease traffic and pollution while simultaneously raising funds to improve the city’s subway and bus systems.  Considering how close we...

In a surprise reversal, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that planned congestion pricing in Manhattans Congestion Relief Zone will be shelved indefinitely—seemingly putting an end to what had been a contentious policy. The plan, which was set to begin on June 30th, would have charged passenger vehicles up to $15 to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street. It would have been administered by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and was intended to curtail vehicle traffic in...

On an apparent impulse she may regret for the rest of her life, Kathy Hochul disgraced the office of the governor of New York and possibly torpedoed her political career, starting with her reelection bid in 2026. Just weeks before congestion pricing tolls were set to turn on and start delivering faster commutes and billions of dollars in transit improvements for eight and a half million New Yorkers, Gov.

As the nation helplessly watches our highest halls of government toss justice to the wind, a 2nd grader has given us someplace to channel our frustrations. In a hilarious video rant, a youngster named Taylor shared a story that has folks ready to go to the mat for her and her beloved, pink, perfect attendance pencil.Instagrammer @tabgeezy shared a video of her daughter telling the story of how she put her perfect attendance pencil—the pink one that she had legitimately earned—in the classroom box of pencils to be sharpened. But when she went to retrieve it from the sharpened pencils box, all she found were plain yellow pencils. That's because Lizzie—who, by the way, had not earned a perfect attendance pencil because she had gone to CANADA—was using it. And not only that, but Canada Lizzie then lost Taylor's pencil in her desk, and her teacher was no help.You have to hear Taylor tell it to understand why this travesty of justice has gone viral. See on Instagram If you think this pencil battle is of no consequence whatsoever, think again. People on Twitter got hold of the video, and folks are rallying behind Taylor as if that pink pencil is our democracy and Taylor and Lizzie are the House and Senate. If somebody ever takes my child\u2019s perfect attendance pencil which SHE earned cuz she didn\u2019t even go to Canada, the entire school getting shut down. — riley wuz here (@riley wuz here) 1580451908 IS THERE NO JUSTICE IN THE WORLD — Charlotte Clymer \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\u26a7\ufe0f\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Charlotte Clymer \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\u26a7\ufe0f\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1580482234 "Lizzie" was trending on Twitter as people called out the little girl who went to CANADA and then dared to take Taylor's perfect attendance pencil.

Adorableness aside, we're all a little burned out on politics and the methodical dismantling of our country's checks and balances, so maybe getting charged up over an adorable little girl's pencil injustice somehow feels cathartic. John Delaney dropped out of the race... Meh!\n\nThere\u2019s a Presidential impeachment... Yawn. \n\nSomeone stole a little girl\u2019s perfect attendance pencil. \n\nMe:pic.twitter.com/aXBot4y58G — AL (@AL) 1580478694 Hope you get your pencil back soon, Taylor. We all need a little glimmer of hope that justice can, indeed, prevail.This article originally appeared on 01.31.20
