Days after for-left New York Mayor Bill de Blasio admitted his Renewal Schools wasted $773 million over five years, lawmakers learned that the ThriveNYC program for the mentally ill, run by his wife, Chirlane McCray, blew through $850 million in just four years with questionable results. Thrive will receive an additional $1 billion over the next four years despite its failure to account for where much of the money was spent. New York outsources many of its social services to community-based non-profit organizations that, in turn, support the Mayor.

$773 million over five years, lawmakers learned that his wife’s
high-profile ThriveNYC program for the mentally ill blew through $850

Yet, as The Post reported Thursday, officials can’t show that Thrive has had much impact on the
mentally ill. They can’t even cite details on what the $850 million
bought, even though Thrive is getting $1 billion more to spend over the
next four years.
At a City Council hearing Wednesday, lawmakers blasted the program.

It’s actually getting worse,” warned Robert Holden (D-Queens).

A dozen suspected gang members are accused of preying on drunk people and robbing them. Robberies are up 53% this year in central downtown Minneapolis and, in one 20-day stretch, 47 people were attacked, most of them by pack hunters.
Democrats want to remove guns and ammunition from individuals deemed as dangerous by any anonymous, unaccountable person, but it would not include the already existing lists of violent gang members. This is further evidence that Congress has no interest in reducing violence in America.
Edawn Coughman is accused of staging a fake hate crime by spraying nazi and racist graffiti on his restaurant in hopes of making an insurance claim and possibly to garner public sympathy. His truck had several television sets with brackets and drywall still attached.
