@erichhartmann Very sad what's happening across Lower Westchester County. Armed guards in the Chipotle at Cross County Shopping Center. This is "Progressive?"
WWE needs to get out of this TKO Situation. Vince needs to come back. Everything from WM 40, forward, has been extremely disappointing. Nick should be President / COO / Chief Revenue Officer, HHH can stay Chief Creative, but we need Vince back. This ain't it.
Rhea Ripley understood the assignment & passed it with flying colors. She told Giulia to lay everything in & tank hits like she's still in Japan. She did everything in her power to showcase the Giulia that WWE signed, succeeded, and has a black eye to show for it.

I’d have to guess about 95% of Americans who mainstream media call “far-right” want only to work for a living, keep most of their money, raise their kids in peace, get them a good education without left-wing indoctrination, own a nice home & be left alone. You know, “extremists.”
A man was getting out of his Lamborghini and someone stopped him and said aggressively:
“How many people could you have fed in starving countries for the price of that Lambo?”
The man paused, then replied. “I don’t know, but it fed a lot of the 1,800 families who work at Lamborghini.
It fed the designers' families. It fed the carbon-fibre manufactures families. It fed the tyre manufacturers families.
The 300 workers who are dedicated to making each individual Lamborghini all get to eat and work building something they love"
This is the fundamental problem with socialists. Socialism expects you to give it all away, but capitalism creates it in the first place
Who Will Build NYC if Builders Are the Enemy?
As a New Yorker Jew, I'm surrounded by people who have been in real estate their entire lives. I am not trying to feed a stereotype, but that's my reality. They aren't activists or online commentators. They are people who bought their first buildings with all their savings, carried debt through rate hikes, fixed things themselves when there was no money to hire, and stayed in New York through high crime, recessions, 2008, COVID, rising taxes, insurance increases, and an ever-expanding book of laws and codes. None of them were promised fairness before they started, and none of them were protected from risk. They succeeded very slowly, and painfully, but with responsibly.
That experience is exactly what is missing from the worldview of Zohran Mamdani, and it shows in every part of his housing agenda. Mamdani has never built anything. He never signed a personal guarantee, never met payroll, never carried a mortgage through a rough month, never had to choose between fixing a boiler now or hoping it survives another winter because there is no cash. He has only operated in a political world where consequences are abstract and other people absorb the risk. When you have never operated in the real economy, it becomes easy to believe that shortcuts are solutions.
It is also why his message resonates with a certain type of voter. The people demanding “housing reforms” are not bad people. They are frustrated renters who feel like the system is rigged against them. I understand the frustration. But frustration doesn't change math. Housing is hard. Ownership is a very slow process. Building anything meaningful in this city takes years of stress, and debt. The people calling for "landlord policies" often want the outcome without the grind, the stability without the risk, and the reward without the years of sweating that every responsible adult who succeeded here had to endure. But it does not work like that.
NYC is in housing crisis. Citywide vacancy sits around 1.4 percent, a level economists consider an emergency. Median rents keep rising anyway, with Manhattan near $4,800 and Brooklyn around $3,800, even under an already thick layer of regulation. The reason is obvious. Supply has not kept up. In a good year, New York adds roughly 30,000 units. The city needs hundreds of thousands more over the next decade just to stabilize prices. At the same time, construction costs here are among the highest in the country, financing is extremely difficult, and insurance is wildly expensive
Mamdani’s proposals take that fragile situation and make it worse. When you cap upside while leaving downside unlimited, rational people stop participating. Developers do not argue on X. Lenders do not protest. They simply reallocate. Projects stop coming up. Renovations are postponed. New construction dies before a shovel hits the ground. The people I know in real estate are not angry. They are disengaging. Some are buying elsewhere. Some are sitting on cash. Some are done entirely. And when that happens, tenants do not win. Buildings deteriorate, supply tightens further, and rents rise anyway.
What Mamdani offers is emotional satisfaction, not solutions. He tells voters that prices are high because someone else is greedy, not because the city has spent decades making housing harder and almost impossible to build. He frames landlords as villains instead of participants in an ecosystem that only works when incentives align. That framing feels good, but it does not produce housing. It produces resentment, fear, and withdrawal.
Everyone I know who made it in this city did it the same way. Slowly, without shortcuts. Policies written by people who never did that do not create fairness or affordability. They create shortages. NYC doesn't have a landlord problem. It has a confidence problem. And a city that teaches people to hate the builders while demanding more building is a city sabotaging its own future.
Dear Liberals,
-Obama ordered the killing of Osama bin Laden….no congressional approval.
-Obama launched airstrikes in Libya, rebels killed Gaddafi…no approval.
-Biden ordered the drone strike that killed al-Zawahiri in 2022 …no congressional approval.
Now imagine Trump capturing a narco-terrorist alive, brings him back to the U.S. for trial…
Democrats absolutely lose their minds.
Double standards much?
In 2010, I had the opportunity to Intern for Sue Aitchison at WWE in the Titan Tower. We worked on Community engagement, specifically the Make-A-Wish Foundation & Tribute to the troops. Seeing John interact with the children backstage was simply incredible. #ThankYouCena

New York GOP Chair Endorses Elise Stefanik for New York Governor to 'Lead Our Team to Victory Over Kathy Hochul'
SARATOGA, N.Y. – Today, New York GOP Chairman Ed Cox officially endorsed Republican gubernatorial candidate Elise Stefanik for Governor of New York to lead our great state "to victory over Kathy Hochul."
NYGOP Chairman Ed Cox:
"Elise Stefanik is a unifier and a party builder with the brains, the guts and the resources to win statewide next year. She has fought for our principles every day of her career, and never backs down. She is the warrior we need to lead the fight against Democrats' corrupt Albany machine.
"Thanks to Kathy Hochul and Democrats, New York leads the nation in outmigration as the most taxed, least free, least affordable state in America. There will not be a Republican primary and a year from now, Elise will lead our team to victory over Kathy Hochul, end one-party Democrat rule, and make New York affordable again."
With @EliseStefanik as our candidate, we will defeat Kathy Hochul and take back New York from one-party Democrat rule next year.
Full statement from @ChairmanEdCox:
Kathy Hochul is the Worst Governor in America. Under her failed leadership, New York is the most unaffordable state in the nation with the highest taxes, highest energy, utilities, rent, and grocery bills. When New Yorkers were looking for leadership from our Governor, she bent the knee to the raging Defund the Police, Tax Hiking Communist causing catastrophe for New York families.
I am running for Governor to make New York affordable and safe FOR ALL.
Democrats, Republicans, and Independents will unify to save our state.
It’s time to:
FIRE HOCHUL.
SAVE NEW YORK.🗽🇺🇸

Rhea does the count me in boys with the chips @bullyray5150 Then Rhea takes the IC Title off of Dom at Mania. Give me the pencil, then take care and brush ya hair @BustedOpenRadio
Having a "no kings" protest when you voted for the party that hand-selected Kamala Harris to be their nominee without earning a single vote is peak irony
