Health workers that volunteered to come to NY during pandemic have to pay state income tax: Cuomo

Health care workers that came to New York to help fight the coronavirus pandemic at its epicenter will have to pay state taxes, according to the governor.

He addressed the issues Tuesday at a news conference.

“We’re not in a position to provide any subsidies right now because we have a $13 billion deficit,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. “So there’s a lot of good things I’d like to do, and if we get federal funding, we can do, but it would be irresponsible for me to sit here looking at a $13 billion deficit and say I’m gonna spend more money, when I can’t even pay the essential services.”

Any out-of-state resident who’s come to the Empire State to work on coronavirus relief is subject to the tax after 14 days here.

There are thousands of emergency workers here who’ve responded to requests by Cuomo and Mayor Bill De Blasio for help. Many of them are collecting paychecks from companies back in their home states, which allowed them to come to New York to volunteer.

So if you are a nurse or first responder, and your employer in another state let you help in the epicenter of New York, and you work there for more than days, even though you live in another state and are getting paid in another state, New York is entitled to tax you between 4% and 8.82%.

His Royal Highness Andrew Cuomo will not waive the taxes for out of state volunteers because he needs the money.

And New Yorkers wonder why they are not getting the love and support they did after 9/11.

This is why.  Because a nurse or paramedic who rushed their lives and rushed to help in New York when New York said they were having a crisis didn’t expect to have to pay for the privilege of volunteering to save lives in NYC.

Every bit of news coming out of New York is just shit.

They bumble-fucked the response, killed thousands of elderly with bad policies, and charged out of state workers for their volunteering.

Next time New York has a crisis, I suspect the rest of the country to tell them “fuck you” and wall it off so that the crisis doesn’t spread to the rest of America.

OPEN TEXAS PROTESTORS ARRESTED OUTSIDE OF ODESSA BAR

Get Texas reopened – that’s the demand from people across West Texas Monday.

Businesses mandated to remain closed, are now open. That includes the Big Daddy Zane’s Bar in West Odessa.

A rally in support of the business spurred the response of the Odessa SWAT team.

Ector County Sheriff Mike Griffis confirms eight people were arrested at the rally this afternoon, six for felony unlawfully carrying a weapon on licensed premises.

According to Everything Lubbock:

Owner, Gabrielle Ellison, said she spoke with the Ector County Sheriff’s Office prior to the protest. According to Ellison, she was told everything would be fine as long as men with guns are not seen on the property. Out of respect for law enforcement, she said she confined the men to an area in the back, which is her private property.

So these protesters were around back of a bar, with guns, in a town of 22,000 people and SWAT came out.

Look at this shit:

They rolled out the MRAP, plate armor, and M4s for that.

Why?

Because Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumbass were bored and and needed an excuse to play with the expensive toys the fed.gov gave them.

This kind of shit really undermines respect for law enforcement.

Guys around back of a bar in West Texas with guns doesn’t requite officers Dunkin and Winchell to respond like it’s a bank robbery in West Hollywood.

But that’s what happened because…

One day I have to sit down and write about the need that the intelligentsia and the Media have to make Miami and South Florida the Poconos of the South.  They secretly wish we would be more like New York than have our own identity, warts and all.

With that pro NYC bent, it is stands clearly the enormous bias against anything the Republicans do down here and specially Governor Ron DeSantis. If you were only fed what the Miami Herald and the Sun Sentinel were  saying about how the State Executive has dealt with the Wuhan Virus, you would be imagining we had bodies of the affected washing ashore Miami Beach like bales of cocaine dropped from fast boats, or piling up on the streets  in downtown .

If something both papers have been beating on was Wuhan deaths in Nursing homes. The State (stupidly IMHO) kept the numbers away from the media and they obviously jumped at the conspiracy theory to make a case about how shitty DeSantis was dealing with the Pandemic. Of course, they do not mention what kind of job Andrew Gillum would have done, but he as been memory holed at least for the foreseeable future.

The data was finally released. We have now a list of all facilities with cases detected and the list of deaths, also by facility.  As of May 3,  there were 423 deaths in Nursing homes in the state representing 32% of the deaths by the virus in the state since the whole thing started.

ZOMG! DeSantis hates abuelitos and wants them dead!

That was pretty much the reaction if you did not check the lists with care and notice all the nursing homes that had cases but not deaths and the huge list of homes without cases or deaths. Yes, it is in the links above, always check the source material. DeSantis is hated so even one death will be at least an attributable manslaughter to him.

So, I decided to ignore the local rags because for all the Pulitzers they get, they are not interested in the Truth but doing business and Propaganda for the Democrats. That was till J.Kb. last night sent me this:

Coronavirus News: More than 1,700 previously undisclosed deaths at NY nursing homes

What do you mean “previously undisclosed”? And what do you mean by 1,700 deaths? For the love of God, the whole state of Florida right now only has 1,539 deaths! How many people have died in NY nursing homes?

At least 4,813 people have died from COVID-19 in the state’s nursing homes since March 1, according to a tally released by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration late Monday that, for the first time, includes people believed to have been killed by the coronavirus before their diagnoses could be confirmed by a lab test.

That is more than three times the number of overall deaths for Florida. , Again three times more people have died in nursing homes in NYC than the whole state of Florida.

Exactly how many nursing home residents have died remains uncertain despite the state’s latest disclosure, as the list doesn’t nursing home residents who were transferred to hospitals before dying.

That may explain how come Cuomo was trying to push infected patients in other locations, sort of a three card monte with living patients and suddenly he ran out of space.

The revised list shows that 22 nursing homes, largely in New York City and Long Island, have reported at least 40 deaths.
Parker Jewish Institute in Queens and Isabella Geriatric Center – one of New York City’s largest nursing homes with 705 beds – have reported the highest number of deaths: 71 and 64, respectively.

And how about the Sunshine State? There were only four institutions with deaths in the double digits and the high number was 14 (Yes, fourteen).  After that is single digits and I reckon 70% of the remaining facilities with 2 or less deaths.  And that is not all the nursing homes in Florida, just the ones with one or more death reported. The second link has the list of all homes and do check the amount of those with zero deaths, it is simply inspiring. The top two nursing homes in NY had the equivalent deaths of the top 14 in the State of Florida. That is right down scary.

To this day, I have yet to see any if our local rags say an unkind word against Governor Cuomo or Mayor de Blasio. There may have been some, but they are probably drowned in the tsunami of fake news and hit pieces against our Governor. I guess they want us to be so much like New York City, they would not mind having more old people die as long as they can get regular Broadway-like shows and Fine Art Museums with intelligent conversation.

And to this day, I have yet to see all these “I Heart NY” “journalists” cover the nursing homes up in their Gotham Mecca or any other pandemic blunder for that matter.

I have to paraphrase an old sticker I saw when I moved here: You don’t like Miami? Take I-95 North and GTFO.

We like to keep our elderly alive.

We all have heard that threat/advice coming from the mouth of the Antis and we smile knowingly how much different things are in real life.

This I just found on a totally unrelated thread in Facebook and decided it is a good example of what kind of trouble a government would be facing if they decide to go stupid.

Whenever I get cocky I go watch one of our local long range precision guys zeroing in for a match. And then I’m not cocky any more.

Yesterday saw one, COVID-bored shitless. He put two 1″ stickers on his target about 3″ apart and ran it out to 100 yards, and put three rounds through each sticker in about fifteen seconds total. Rear bag, front rest. The hole on the left sticker you could barely tell was more than one round. The hole on the right sticker looked like a single shot.

Let me translate that for the uninitiated: A civilian rifleman at a football field’s distance shot two targets, not at the equivalent distance between the eyes of a person three times each, but at the equivalent distance between pupils of the person three times each in 15 seconds.

Yes, he is one of the great shooters and one of the very few. But a reminder that there are at least every years some 14 million long gun shooters that go hunting and can put a round within a 2 inch circle at 100 yards on a bad day.

What military in the world have 14 million snipers?

Remember the Jew-hating, Arminian Genocide-denying, bestiality-enthusiast, pile of human garbage that ran for Congress, Cenk Uygur?

He spoke his mind on Twitter.

If we had a Democrat with balls when we take over, they’d cut off funding to red states & make them beg for their handout. Almost all of them are welfare queens who live off the blue states. Republican run states are on average miserable failures who take more from federal govt. https://t.co/0aifSBybnE

He really is the archetypical Progressive.

The people he doesn’t like can all be starved and condemned misery, destitution, and death, just because he doesn’t like them.

This is why he named his show after the genocidal Turkish political party.

He loves what they did to the Armenians and what Stalin did to the Ukrainians.

There is nothing that gives him a hard-on more than the mass death of people who disagree with him politically, except for pleasuring farm animals.

Again, this is why I own guns.

Form Page Six:

Prince Harry sells rifles, quits hunting for Meghan Markle

Prince Harry has reportedly sold his prized handmade rifles worth more than $60,000 after he quit hunting out of respect for his actress wife Meghan Markle.

Harry, 35, has unloaded the two weapons — from a British gunmaker Purdey — by selling them to another hunter in a private deal, according to The Sun.

The former royal, who learned to hunt as a child, has not joined his colleagues at recent game shooting events and is believed to have quit hunting altogether due to Markle’s opposition to the practice.

This breaks my heart.

Oh, the things I would do to own a pair of Purdey rifles.

I’ve seen pictures of Meghan Markle.  There is no way she is good enough in the sack to make a man sell off his handmade side-by-sides.

Then there is this headline from a little while back.

Exclusive: Prince Harry misses the Army and tells friends his life has been turned upside down
After Harry and Meghan announced they were stepping down as senior royals, the Duke was forced to relinquish his military roles

The Duke of Sussex has told friends he “cannot believe” what has happened in recent months and that he misses the Army, The Telegraph has learned.

Prince Harry has confided in pals that he “misses the camaraderie” of life in the Armed Forces, where he was affectionately known as ‘Captain Wales’, having been stripped of his military appointments following the Sussexes’ split from the Royal Family on March 31.

After Harry and Meghan announced they were stepping down as senior royals in January, the Duke was forced to relinquish his roles as Captain General Royal Marines, Honorary Air Commandant, RAF Honington and Commodore-in-Chief, Small Ships and Diving, Royal Naval Command.

I had always liked Prince Harry.   He was the quieter brother and was a helicopter gunship pilot who flew combat missions in the Middle East.  He was rotated home when the news of this broke because the Crown feared he would become a target.  But by all reports, he preferred the life of a soldier to that of the Royal Court.

This is why you don’t marry a Woke woman.

Harry has given up his guns and his military career so that his wife could do voiceover work for Disney because she wasn’t allowed to be a Dutchess and a paid actress at the same time.

Honestly, at this point, if she ended up doing a John Denver or Kobe Bryant or JFK Jr, (it’s a long list) arranged by MI5, and Harry was allowed to return to the US with a quiet life as an instructor at Sandhurst, I think everyone would be better off.
