NFL Nugget: During my Q & A, Bruce Blakeman revealed contacting the "NY" Jets and urging club to consider leaving New Jersey and build new stadium near Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, but “to date” owner Woody Johnson has “indicated they're perfectly comfortable where they are."

Also worth noting, Blakeman during 20-minute interview said he’d bring the same type of AI Flock cameras that he has flooded Nassau County with as the county executive to other parts of New York help combat crime – if his new program is a success

FYI: This video went live mere hours after I asked the Mayor's office why he blew off invites to attend Columbus Day parades in Queens and Brooklyn today. No response. Mamdani hoping a snappy video and hosting an Italian Heritage event is enough to ease tensions with Italians.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani

Happy Italian Heritage Month, New York. Here’s continuing to fight for Vito Marcantonio’s vision of a government that works for all working people.

At least Brooklyn’s organizers got an answer. Organizers of the Queens Columbus Day Parade said the mayor never responded to an invitation to attend their parade--leaving them hanging as it concluded near the same Columbus statue Mamdani famously flipped the bird to in 2020.

Our message in the @nypost today is clear. If you DISRESPECT Italian Americans your entire life, you have no place in the Columbus Day Parade. This isn’t about politics, it’s about accountability and strength. Zohran should NOT be anywhere near our celebration. Wake up.

NEW: NYC Parks Department tells Queens neighborhood to buzz off. Residents frightened over massive wasp nest hanging from a city tree next to an elderly lady's home. The department delivers stinging response — telling them to pay out of their own pockets to humanely relocate it.

I wonder if @NYCDSA co-chair @unionGustavo's parents will pay the pied-a-terre tax on the rowhouse they bought him in Bed-Stuy (Gustavo *E.* Gordillo is the father of our local Gustavo *L.*). The home showed up on the list Mamdani's office released. Fair market value: $1,457,000

Menin might be upset that her friends are getting taxed but that’s no reason to be out here spreading new york post-style misinformation about the list of 900K people.
