Seen on the news article:NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s first big move—appointing Lillian Bonsignore as FDNY Commissioner.

She’s a respected 31-year FDNY veteran who led EMS through COVID and the 9/11 response…

But she has never served as a firefighter.

In the announcement clip, the focus is heavily on her being a “trailblazer for the LGBTQ community” and the first openly gay FDNY commissioner—with Bonsignore herself saying experience fighting fires “won’t matter.”

Priorities highlighted: identity, pay parity for EMS, and historic firsts.

But when lives hang in the balance during a blaze, does the leader of the world’s bravest need actual firefighting command experience—or is symbolism enough?

NYC firefighters risk everything daily. They deserve a boss who’s been in the flames, not just checking boxes.

Merit over identity—or is this the future? Another form of DEI, I presume?

It's still the 'Kennedy Center' for me

No way am I calling it 'The Trump and Kennedy Center'!

God bless President John F. Kennedy!!

It's actually pretty mind boggling why Trump would disrespect President Kennedy like that despite Kennedy basically having an 'America First' Policy and battled the same Deep State that Trump is currently facing.

Unless, it's simply because he was a 'Democrat'? .-.

I discovered a new synthpop band called BLACKBOOK and they're not AI thankfully. They appear to be a real band and touring with Mesh and other really good artists. Super cool. I'm pretty skeptical of any bands that come out post-2024 at this point. Spotify keeps recommending AI shit to me, which is infuriating and I've stopped paying for their service now. Love this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5voK5F3KmPA

Don’t let anyone bully you into thinking you’re pretentious just because you read and know things. If more of us spent time passionately pursuing knowledge in books and libraries, we wouldn’t be suffering a literacy crisis.

"Barack Hussein Obama was the first Black President, a community organizer, one term Senator from Illinois, and one of the most divisive political figures in American History. As President, he passed the highly ineffective 'Unaffordable' Care Act, resulting in his party losing control of both Houses of Congress, and the Election of the largest House Republican majority since 1946. He presided over a stagnánt Economy, approved the terrible Iran Nuclear Deal, and signed the one-sided Paris Climate Accords, both of which were later terminated by President Donald J. Trump.

“Under Obama, the ISIS Caliphate spread across the Middle East, Libya collapsed into chaos, and Rússia invaded and took Crimea, in Ukraine. He crippled small businesses with crushing regulation and environmental red tape, devastated American coal miners, and weaponized the IRS and Federal bureáucracies against his political opponents. Obama also spied on the 2016 Presidential Campaign of Donald J. Trump, and presided over the creation of the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, the worst political scandal in American History. His handpicked successor, Hillary Rodham Clinton, would then lose the Presidency to Donald J. Trump.”

LOL???

I don’t care for his politics but he didn’t have to be killed

Don't fall for the lie that you need a college degree to have a thriving intellectual life. You could be a sanitation worker and enjoy Shakespeare in your free time. Great art and the great books are for everyone; all you need is curiosity and a mind enthralled by learning.

For certain “professional “ careers such as Legal, Medicine, Architecture, engineering, yes you need a degree. Other careers ? No

Anti-White racism is not okay. White people, like any group, have a right to exist, thrive, and be judged by their actions, not vilified for their skin color. Targeting them for their heritage or identity is a form of bigotry, plain and simple. Defending Whiteness isn’t about supremacy, it’s about insisting that no group should be singled out or treated as inferior. Fairness and free thought demand equal respect for everyone, including White people.

Anti-White racism must end.
