Tuesday was the six-month anniversary of the January 6 riot that Democrats are treating like Pearl Harbor Day. They would prefer that the nation focus on that and forget the fact that the country’s blue cities were on fire for pretty much the entire summer of 2020 and the people they supported had the matches.
The rush was on by Democrats to support total anarchy and treat law enforcement as the enemy. Few were quicker to jump on that bandwagon than NYC's Mayor Bill de Blasio. Mayor Bill was more than eager to hang out with Black Lives Matter agitators all the while being one of the more prominent voices to consistently call to defund the police.
New York was one of the first major cities to cut its police budget. In a very short time, de Blasio and the Democrats had created such a toxic environment that NYPD officers were retiring in droves. The number of applications for retirement had to be capped to prevent a total decimation of the force.
What followed could have been predicted by any fourth-grader. Violent crime spiked in all of the Democrat-run cities that kneecapped their police forces. Within a year, they were all clamoring to get their cops back.
This crime-ridden, anti-cop festering mess that de Blasio has created provides an interesting backdrop to the way New York City’s upcoming mayoral race is playing out.
We kinda/sorta have the result of the convoluted ranked-choice Democratic primary, and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams is likely to be declared the winner. Adams is a retired NYPD officer who will now face Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa in the election.
As my colleague John Sexton wrote over at Hot Air, this almost certainly means that Adams is going to be New York’s next mayor.

What makes it all the more delicious is that the alternative that the citizens of New York will have on the ballot is Sliwa, who was so sick of crime in New York in the 1970s that he was compelled to form a vigilante group to patrol the subways and keep people safe.
This race almost reads like a movie script.
He could be replaced by a clown and it would be an improvement..................
Good news for NYC.
What is his real name?
RE: What is his real name?
Who are you referring to?
It’s not good news yet.
Bill’s
A leftist cop, who’ll be only marginally better than DiBlasio. But an improvement is an improvement, i guess. Still don’t think NYC can — or should — be saved. I think it might be better for it to stand as a putrifying monument to leftist rule.
Sliwa!
Adams is a very liberal cop. Sliwa is a very liberal vigilante who is anti-Trump.

OXYMORON ALERT !
Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa, another Republican contender, may be better positioned than most. The radio host said in April that he “hates Trump” and called him a “depressive,” “screwball” and “crackpot.”
De Blobbio and his lesbo wife are walking away w/ hundreds of millions of tax dollars.........
That includes almost a billion the dumb lezzie “misplaced” in a phony ‘mental health” program the imbecile gave to his idiot wife.
Blobbo had already given the lesbo thief charge of three govt programs w/ hundreds of tax dollars pouring in.
The Mayor’s Fund for NY is where the thievery began......millions of tax dollars flowed in on her watch....very little was spent for New Yorkers.
.
According to liberals, aren't they one and the same?
From a July 6th NPR article online.
That’s unfortunate that he hates Trump. Still, I think he would be better for New York City than Adams.
So he’s a Bushie or a Ryan RINO?
You could replace him by a chimpanzee, and the chimp would do a better job.
Was Sliwa a vigilante? I thought he and the Guardian Angels rode the subways, thereby discouraging bad people from doing bad things. I don’t recall them undertaking law enforcement.
