Former New York City Mayor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-de-blasio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill de Blasio</a> has landed a new job teaching public health courses at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/harvard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard University</a>.
The former Big Apple mayor will join the faculty of Harvard this fall as a visiting fellow at both the Institute of Politics at the Kennedy School, as well as a Senior Leadership Fellow at the T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He will teach courses in public health leadership at the School of Public Health, and appear at various programs at the Institute of Politics. The two schools introduced de Blasio in separate announcements Wednesday.
“We are thrilled to welcome Mayor de Blasio and [former Boston] Mayor [Kim] Janey to campus as Menschel Senior Leadership Fellows,” Dean Michelle A. Williams said in a statement to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/covid-mlb-health-sports-education-115e4c03c5469553590e27fc4feaf165" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a>. “Their insights and their mentorship will be tremendously helpful to students who aspire to public office, as well as to those who are looking to lead in other sectors.”
In its announcement, the <a href="https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/policy-translation-leadership-development/senior-leadership-fellows-program/news-events/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">School of Public Health</a> touted de Blasio&#8217;s tenure as mayor of America&#8217;s largest city, particularly during the COVID pandemic.
“He led New York City through the COVID-19 pandemic, turning what was once a global epicenter into the safest city in the country,” the announcement said. The school also touted de Blasio&#8217;s record on issues outside COVID: his initiative to make early childhood education a universal right in the city; his affordable housing projects and action plan against homelessness; his activism and push for a citywide $15 per hour minimum wage; and his passage of the Climate Mobilization Act, also known as the NYC Green New Deal, and initiatives to make the city carbon-neutral by 2050, including ending fossil fuel fuel use in new buildings.
De Blasio will teach an eight-week long course on leadership, focused on navigating major issues in public health challenges, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/24/nyregion/bill-de-blasio-harvard.html">The New York Times</a> reported. He will also hold office hours and meet with students and faculty, and serve as a seminar speaker.
At the Institute of Politics, de Blasio will visit Harvard several times throughout the semester for a variety of discussions and other events.
“Mayor de Blasio’s decades of experience in local government, federal agencies, national campaigns, and running the largest city in the country will provide invaluable insight to our students and the Harvard community,” Setti Warren, the director of the <a href="https://iop.harvard.edu/about/newsletter-press-release/new-york-city-mayor-bill-de-blasio-joins-institute-politics-fall-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Institute of Politics</a>, said in the news release Wednesday. “We are excited to welcome Mayor de Blasio to campus as we look for pathways forward on the challenges facing our democracy.”
De Blasio expressed his excitement on Twitter Wednesday. “I am VERY optimistic about the generation of leaders and activists coming up,” he <a href="https://twitter.com/BilldeBlasio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>. “It will be a privilege to offer lessons I’ve learned through decades of public service. My key message to them: we CAN make bold progressive change. I know because I’ve lived it.”
The Harvard position is likely a career boost for the former mayor of New York City, who has unsuccessfully sought higher political office several times recently. De Blasio dropped out of the 2020 presidential campaign early in the cycle. He was mulling a run for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-nyc-democrat-mayor-bill-de-blasio-makes-his-decision-whether-to-run-for-governor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Governor of New York</a> in 2022, but decided against it. He then announced a run for Congress in the redrawn 10th Congressional District, but <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/failed-dem-presidential-candidate-bill-de-blasio-drops-out-of-another-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dropped out</a> ahead of the primary.

Among the many titles <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-city" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York City</a> has earned over the last 400 years, the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) announced Tuesday that America’s melting pot had become the most dangerous sanctuary community in the nation.
The 35-year-old institute, which advocates for reducing legal immigration from over a million to 300,000 a year, vows to defend the rights of individual Americans and their local communities from harm and challenges caused by mass migration to the United States.
In a recent <a href="https://www.irli.org/rotten-apple-new-york-city-named-americas-most-dangerous-sanctuary-community/">report</a>, the institute listed the top ten sanctuary communities that have posed significant dangers nationwide — with New York City leading the way.
“These communities have earned their places on this list because of incredibly poor leadership at the city, county, and state levels,” Dale L. Wilcox, IRLI’s executive director and general counsel, said in a statement. “Data overwhelmingly shows that sanctuary policies lead to more crime, fear, and death.”
“The leaders of these communities should not escape accountability for the damage they have caused,” Wilcox added. “Their residents deserve much more.”
For New York City, it’s not hard to see how the Big Apple turned rotten over the last eight years under former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s radical sanctuary policies. Almost every day, the public sees cell phone videos, surveillance footage, and reports that expose rampant theft, violent attacks, rapes, and murders sweeping across the city from citizens and non-citizens.
New mayor and former New York Police Department officer Eric Adams has pledged to clean up his predecessor&#8217;s disregard for community safety. Still, the rhetoric to crack down on rampant crime falls on deaf ears when he openly supported the city’s sanctuary status and continued de Blasio’s pro-illegal immigrant policies such as allowing a non-citizen voting law.
Just before COVID changed the United States and the world, New York City released more than 7,500 illegal immigrants — some of whom had previous murder and sexual abuse convictions — back into the diverse communities across the five Burroughs.
Breitbart <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/01/17/new-york-freed-7-5k-criminal-illegal-aliens-into-u-s-in-2019-including-convicted-murderers-sex-abusers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) acting director Matthew Albence revealed that in 2019, the 7,500 illegal immigrants released into communities by NYC law enforcement had a total of 17,873 criminal convictions and 6,500 criminal charges against them.
Those criminal convictions and charges included 200 homicides, more than 1,000 sexual offenses, and 500 robberies. Others had more than 3,500 assaults, 1,500 DUIs, and 1,000 weapons violations.
“The only immigrants protected by such policies are those committing violent and dangerous offenses, often in the same communities that these politicians are purporting to protect,” Albence said during the press conference. “These are preventable crimes, people, and more importantly, preventable victims.”
With New York City leading the way, other cities include Democrat-run metropolitan areas like Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Trailing behind follows more blue cities like San Francisco, Minneapolis, Seattle, and Portland. Wake County, North Carolina, and Middlesex County, New Jersey, were also included.
“Sanctuary policies only provide sanctuary to criminals, not to immigrant communities,” Tom Homan, IRLI senior fellow and former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), said in a statement. “Immigrant communities don’t want criminals in their neighborhoods either.”
“Victims and witnesses of crime don’t want the offender back in their communities to seek revenge,” Homan added. “All communities deserve protection from criminals, but sanctuary policies put immigrant communities at greater risk of crime.”
While many of the cities include radical soft-on-crime district attorneys funded by left-wing billionaire George Soros, the institute argues that illegal immigrants with a dangerous history have created an unsafe environment for those communities that have poured their lives into living what’s left of the American Dream.

Well, That Didn&#8217;t Work
Democrats in Pennsylvania decided to boost a MAGA longshot in the gubernatorial race. But now that he&#8217;s won the Republican nomination, there&#8217;s growing worry by Democrats that he could actually win.
Doug Mastriano, a strong Trump supporter as a state senator who worked to overturn the 2020 presidential election, had also drawn doubts from fellow Republicans that he could win.
Jackie Kulback, chairman of the Cambria County Republican Party, told <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/19/mastriano-pennsylvania-governor-race-00046423">Politico</a> she wasn&#8217;t sure he could win in November, but much has changed.
“The higher the gas prices go, the more electable Mastriano is,” Kulback told the political website. &#8220;Honestly, I feel this is Mastriano’s campaign to lose.”
Mastriano will face Democrat Josh Shapiro, a veteran candidate with a lot of money. But the polls show a tight race, with two in June showing Shapiro leading by about four percentage points.
Larry Ceisler, a Pennsylvania-based public affairs consultant backing Shapiro, told Politico that Democrats are beginning to realize Mastriano could win.
“Most people are in a little bubble, where they talk to one other and say, ‘Boy, there’s no way Doug Mastriano can beat Josh Shapiro.’ Well, you know what? Those people don’t get off the turnpike,” he said. “It wakes some people as to: It’s a real campaign, and yes, there really are people who are for Doug Mastriano, and this is not going to be a walk in the park.”
A Dem In GOP Clothing
With President Joe Biden&#8217;s approval rating in the dumpster amid soaring inflation and gas prices, it&#8217;s not a great time to be a Democrat.
So one Democratic candidate in Ohio is trying to sound more like a Republican.
Tim Ryan, a candidate for U.S. Senate, is running ads on Fox News featuring conservative-sounding language — including compliments from Fox News&#8217; opinion hosts. His latest ad, airing only on Fox last week, shows him winning kudos from none other than Tucker Carlson.
&#8220;You are on the stump and you talk bread and butter issues, economy, kitchen table issues,&#8221; Bret Baier says in the ad. Other hosts use the word &#8220;moderate&#8221; to describe Ryan, with one saying he is &#8220;hanging out in the middle like most of us are.&#8221;
Ryan has also avoided appearing with Biden, as many other Democrats have. When Biden popped into the state earlier, Ryan was nowhere to be seen. “Tim has a full day of previously-scheduled campaign events along the Ohio River,” a Ryan spokesman told The <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/jul/6/top-ohio-dem-candidates-will-skip-biden-event/">Washington Times</a>.
And it&#8217;s worth remembering that former President Donald Trump won Ohio, long a swing state, by eight points in both 2016 and 2020.
Poof, He&#8217;s Gone
On Tuesday, former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) dropped his bid to represent the left-leaning 10th Congressional District, admitting that “it’s not going work out.”
“I’ve really listened carefully to people and it’s clear to me that when it comes to this congressional district, people are looking for another option. And I respect that,” the former mayor said.
De Blasio, who served as mayor of New York City from 2014 to 2021 and made a brief run for president in 2020, announced his bid for Congress in May. But he never caught on.
De Blasio had been trailing most of the Democratic field in the district, which includes parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn, in recent polls, with one showing he had just 3% of the vote.
Much To Do In Michigan
Political soothsayers are predicting a red wave in the mid-term elections, and Republicans in Michigan are hoping that can push them to a win against Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Five GOP candidates will be on the ballot for the nomination on August 2 after the early favorite, former Detroit Police Chief James Craig, was disqualified for forged signatures on his qualifying petition.
The disqualification of Craig, who vows to run a write-in campaign, threw the race into chaos and opened up the nomination to some lesser-known pols.
In recent polling, former businesswoman and political commentator Tudor Dixon appears to be the favorite. Dixon has recently been labeled the &#8220;establishment candidate&#8221; by at least two of her opponents, Garrett Soldano and Kevin Rinke, after she received an endorsement from the powerful DeVos family. Richard DeVos Jr. is a multi-billionaire, and his wife, Betsy, is the former Secretary of Education in the Trump administration.
The race has not been short of drama. Candidate Ryan Kelley was arrested by the FBI and charged with misdemeanors related to his presence at the January 6 Capitol riot. Yet Kelley has done well in the polls following his arrest and has vowed to stay in the race despite his upcoming trial.
So far, no one has won the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.
Incumbents Rule In GA
Incumbents won more than 90% of the congressional races in 2020, according to <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Election_results,_2020:_Incumbent_win_rates_by_state">Ballotpedia</a>.
So it&#8217;s no surprise that both incumbent Democrats and Republicans are leading their gubernatorial and Senate races in Georgia, according to the most recent polls.
GOP gubernatorial nominee and incumbent governor Brian Kemp leads Democratic nominee Stacey Abrams by seven points, 52% &#8211; 45%, according to a recent poll conducted by Fabrizio Ward and Impact Research, which surveyed 1,197 likely state voters between July 5 &#8211; July 11.
Meanwhile, Democratic senatorial nominee and incumbent Raphael Warnock leads GOP nominee Herschel Walker by three points, 50% &#8211; 47%, according to that same poll. But Walker has won the endorsement of Trump, which may mean something when voters cast their votes on November 8.
Carin&#8217; For Karrin
Former Vice President Mike Pence has endorsed Karrin Taylor Robson for governor in Arizona.
“As Arizona Democrats pursue the reckless Biden-Harris agenda, Karrin Taylor Robson is the only candidate for Governor that will keep Arizona’s border secure and streets safe, empower parents and create great schools, and promote conservative values,” Pence said. “Karrin is the best choice for Arizona’s future, and I am proud to support her.”
Taylor Robson said she&#8217;s honored to receive the endorsement of Pence, who will appear with her at campaign events this Friday in Phoenix and southern Arizona.
“Mike Pence has been a warrior for the conservative values we hold most dear: the sanctity of Life; limited government; law and order; opportunity for all; vigorous defense of the 2nd Amendment; and the knowledge that our freedoms are granted by God,” Taylor Robson said. “Modern politics is full of charlatans and fakes, but Vice President Pence is the genuine article. He has never wavered in his conservative beliefs and commitment to our Constitution, and left a rock-solid legacy as Governor to which I will aspire.”
A Look At Cook
The Cook Political <a href="https://www.cookpolitical.com/ratings/house-race-ratings">Report</a> has been tracking congressional races for years, so we&#8217;ll tell you its updated projections for the 2022 midterms each week.
House
Solid Democrat &#8212; 162 
Solid Republican &#8212; 191 
Toss Ups &#8212; 34
Both parties have 13 seats considered &#8220;likely&#8221; and 11 that &#8220;lean&#8221; their way.
But here&#8217;s an interesting pair of numbers: The Democrats currently hold 26 of the toss-up seats, while Republicans hold just eight.

De Blasio&#8217;s congressional aspirations lasted half as long as his 2020 presidential campaign, which he ended in September 2019 after admitting he had no chance at winning.
“It’s clear the people of #NY10 are looking for another option and I respect that,” the former mayor captioned his video. “Time for me to leave electoral politics and focus on other ways to serve. I am really grateful for all the people I met, the stories I heard and the many good souls who helped out. Thank you all!”

De Blasio added that he will be looking for “a different way to serve,” but did not expand on what that will be. “Even though this is not going to work out, I want you to know how much I appreciate you, and we’re going to do a lot together,” he told his supporters.
Earlier this year, de Blasio said he would not run for office in either New York’s 11th congressional district or the gubernatorial primary. He then changed his mind when the state’s newly redrawn 10th district attracted attention from a multitude of Democrats, The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-de-blasio-announces-he-will-run-for-congress">reported</a>.
When de Blasio first floated the idea of getting back into politics, many New Yorkers were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-de-blasio-teases-a-run-for-congress-and-new-york-is-not-amused">unenthused</a> that their former mayor had more political ambitions.

Anyone visiting <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-city">New York City</a> in the heat of the summer knows the smell of trash can get intense, but one report found that 2022 has been a particularly disgusting year.
According to a <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/07/14/nyc-odor-complaints-reach-disgusting-all-time-high/">New York Post</a> analysis, calls to 311 regarding outdoor odor complaints reached a record high, increasing 54% this year compared to the same month in 2021.
The publication spoke with several employees and residents to assess how they felt about the stench of the city.
“Every morning I smell like a rancid smell, like rotten food that has been sitting there for a while,” Justin Colon, a porter at a Times Square office tower, told the publication.
“No matter what you do — if you douse yourself in a bottle of perfume or Chanel No. 5 — the scent is still on the tip of your nose,” tech worker Jaiden Williams said of the constant bad smell. He went on to describe the stink as “gnarly and cadaverous.”
“It’s a rotten, lingering smell, and if it rains, it smells even worse,” fashion worker Milly Aldon told the Post. She said Manhattan is “an alive city that smells like death.”
This is partly due to heaps of trash left baking in the sun, which is a constant problem. But a growing concern is the increased number of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/homelessness">homeless</a> individuals defecating in the streets.
“I clean the steps going down to the subway. I’ve cleaned up poop so many times,” Colon explained. “This morning I was cleaning up poop.”
“It is not uncommon to see human feces on the street,” a police officer told the publication. “I guess you only have to pick up after your dog.”
Meanwhile, a Manhattan NYPD detective described it differently. “The homeless people are s***ing all over the place,” he said.
The article also mentions outdoor dining sheds, which were popularized during the pandemic, that are now mostly abandoned and being utilized for purposes including sleeping, having sex, doing drugs, and going to the bathroom, according to some restaurant owners.
It’s also mentioned that in 2016, then-Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) decriminalized public urination as part of the Criminal Justice Reform Act. This led to increased incidents of public urination and now defecation, which both contribute to the overall stench.
According to inspection data, 14% of city parks had closed their restrooms as of July 2, leaving homeless people with fewer public facilities to use.

Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is preparing to run for congress, announcing on Wednesday that he has formed an Exploratory Committee for New York’s redrawn 10th Congressional District.
A little over three months ago, de Blasio said he would not run for New York’s 11th Congressional District, and earlier this year, he announced he would not run for governor. Now, however, the man who once <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/23/nyregion/a-mayoral-hopeful-now-de-blasio-was-once-a-young-leftist.html">said</a> he was an advocate for &#8220;democratic socialism&#8221; has set his sights on running in New York’s 10th Congressional District, which is currently represented by Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY).
“Our neighborhoods need help as we recover from Covid. Our nation needs help as democracy is threatened and working people struggle,” de Blasio tweeted on Wednesday. “I am ready to serve to continue the fight against inequality. Today I am forming an Exploratory Committee for the new <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NY10?src=hashtag_click">#NY10</a>.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
While Nadler currently represents the district, he will not face de Blasio in a primary due to New York’s congressional map being redrawn. In late April, the New York State Court of Appeals said that the congressional maps drawn by the Democratic majority in the state legislature violated the state’s constitution by failing to follow constitutional procedure and violating a ban on gerrymandering, The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-yorks-highest-court-strikes-down-democrats-gerrymandered-congressional-state-senate-maps">reported</a>.
The maps are currently being redrawn under the supervision of New York Special Master Jonathan Cervas, a political science professor at Carnegie Mellon University. Cervas’ updated maps place Nadler in New York’s 12th Congressional District, which is currently represented by Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), meaning the two incumbents will face each other in a primary.
Nadler, <a href="https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/politics/de-blasio-launches-exploratory-committee-to-run-for-congress/3694666/">according to NBC New York</a>, has claimed that the new maps are also unconstitutional, but at the moment he will face Maloney in a primary contest set for August 23.
On Tuesday, the day before de Blasio officially announced he was forming an exploratory committee, he <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/05/17/bill-de-blasio-eyeing-run-at-newly-drawn-ny-seat-nadler-has-left-behind/">reportedly</a> told state Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein (D-Borough Park) that “he is committed to running in the race.”
“Based on the conversation that I had with him earlier today, he is running for Congress in the new NY-10 congressional district,” Eichenstein told the outlet. “He called me earlier this afternoon. While I will keep our conversation private, I will confirm that we spoke for over 20 minutes about his decision to run for this district.”
As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-de-blasio-teases-a-run-for-congress-and-new-york-is-not-amused">reported</a> at the time, some former constituents of de Blasio expressed their displeasure with the news that he might soon represent them again.
“Just when you thought he was out …ex-NYC Mayor @BilldeBlasio told a state lawmaker — who told The Post — he plans to run for New York’s newly drawn 10th Congressional district — the seat that’ll likely stretch from Lower Manhattan into Brooklyn,” the New York Post’s City Hall bureau chief tweeted in response to the outlet’s article on the subject.

It’s Time For Hip Hop In NYC: Queens

Bill De Blasio Teases A Run For Congress And New York Is Not Amused

Bill De Blasio Might Run For Congress And New Yorkers Voice Their Displeasure

U.S. House of Representatives

On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to review a lawsuit brought by four New York City public school workers who were required to be vaccinated against COVID-19. 
The challenge was against New York City Department of Education and the city&#8217;s vaccine mandate for public school employees, which lower courts already permitted to take effect as legal challenges went on. Justice Sonia Sotomayor had also <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-wont-hear-new-york-city-teacher-vaccine-dispute-rcna24850">reportedly</a> declined an emergency request that the mandate be paused. 
In <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judges-approve-nyc-teacher-vaccine-mandate">August</a>, Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio and other <a href="https://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/578-21/mayor-de-blasio-chancellor-porter-commissioner-chokshi-department-education">officials</a> “announced a new health care mandate requiring all New York City Department of Education [(DOE)] employees to provide proof of first dose of vaccination by September 27th.” 
“Keeping our students and staff healthy is our top priority,” said de Blasio at the time. “To keep our schools healthy and safe, we are now requiring all Department of Education staff to have at least one dose of the vaccine by September 27. Together, we will create a safe and welcoming school experience for our kids.”
The four teachers <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-18/fired-nyc-teachers-rejected-by-supreme-court-in-vaccine-case">involved</a> in the suit were either terminated from their jobs or put on unpaid leave for declining to get vaccinated. 
In a petition to the high court <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/21/21-854/204179/20211206133940222_21-%20%20Maniscalco%20v%20NYCDOE%20Petition%20for%20Writ%20of%20Certiorari.pdf">filed</a> in December, the petitioners wrote that the “public-school teachers, respectfully request the Court identify the right of public-school teachers to practice their profession,” adding that the issues brought up in the petition were of “National Significance.” 
“This case presents the Court with the opportunity to address a critical constitutional issue— whether public-school teachers have a fundamental right to practice their profession,” they argued. “Furthermore, the Court can provide needed guidance to the lower courts regarding the flood of COVID-19 vaccine mandate-related cases already pending and expected.”
In an opposition brief <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/21/21-854/218131/20220309130144186_ManiscalcoBIO.pdf">filed</a> in March, the counsel for the New York City Department of Education claimed “There is zero evidence in this record indicating that the Department has foreclosed the four petitioners from pursuing their professions.”
The legal pushback over vaccine mandates appears to continue in the city, as a waitress at Yankee Stadium is suing over Mayor Eric Adams’ (D) vaccine exemption for performers and athletes. 
Virginia Alleyne was put on leave without pay after working at Legends Suite Club for 17 years because she did not get the vaccine. The lawsuit was filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/04/08/yankee-stadium-waitress-files-lawsuit-against-adams-athlete-vax-exemption/">per the New York Post</a>. 
According to the outlet, the court documents stated, “Allowing professional athletes and performing artists to work without a vaccine while terminating [Alleyne] and those similarly situated for not receiving the vaccine is unquestionably arbitrary and capricious.” 
“Thousands of firemen, policemen, teachers, sanitation workers, restaurant workers and other private sector workers have been fired as a result of this mandate,” the filing noted.
The Post reported, “The suit also challenges the claim that Adams’ executive order was implemented to ensure New York sports team wouldn’t be at a disadvantage if their unvaccinated athletes can’t play, while visiting athletes with the same vax status can.”
The court <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-wont-hear-new-york-city-teacher-vaccine-dispute-rcna24850">declined</a> to hear over 100 cases on Monday and did not provide a reason for the rejection, as is customary. 
On Monday, the Supreme Court also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-declines-to-review-salt-tax-cap-challenge-from-states">refused</a> to review a challenge brought against a tax deduction limit which was implemented by the Trump administration and has continued through the Biden administration.

Former New York City Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced his decision regarding whether to run as a Democratic candidate for governor of the state of New York, posting on Twitter on Tuesday that he has decided not to run.
&#8220;I am not going to be running for Governor of New York State, but I am going to devote every fiber of my being to fighting inequality in the state of New York,&#8221; de Blasio said alongside a video posted to Twitter.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

&mdash; Bill de Blasio (@BilldeBlasio) <a href="https://twitter.com/BilldeBlasio/status/1483433356293464065?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 18, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;No, I am not going to be running for governor in New York State,&#8221; de Blasio said in the video.
&#8220;But I am going to devote every fiber of my being to fight inequality in the state of New York,&#8221; he added.
The former mayor also hinted that he has political plans for the future.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve got a lot to do together. I&#8217;m going to share some more news with you in the days ahead,&#8221; he concluded in the video.
Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul currently serves as the state&#8217;s governor. She served as Lt. Governor and took over leadership of the state after Andrew Cuomo resigned in the wake of multiple scandals, including an investigation regarding the sexual harassment of multiple women as governor.
Democrat Eric Adams was elected the new mayor of New York City following de Blasio. Adams began his term earlier in January.
Adams has already come under attack for plans to allow non-citizens in New York City to vote in local elections. The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rnc-sues-nyc-over-noncitizen-voting-rights-law-american-elections-should-be-decided-by-american-citizens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>:
<blockquote>The Republican National Committee (RNC) sued New York City on Monday after Mayor Eric Adams (D) declined to block a bill allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections.
Adams allowed the bill to become law on Sunday, granting more than 800,000 noncitizens living in New York City the right to vote in local elections. Both Adams and former Mayor Bill de Blasio declined to use their veto power, which times out 30 days after a bill’s passage, to strike down the bill after the City Council approved it last month.
“I believe that New Yorkers should have a say in their government, which is why I have and will continue to support this important legislation,” the mayor said in a statement, according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/09/nyregion/noncitizens-nyc-voting-rights.html">The New York Times</a>. “I look forward to bringing millions more into the democratic process.”
RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel <a href="https://gop.com/press-release/rnc-challenges-new-york-city-legislation-giving-voting-rights-to-noncitizens/">announced</a> on Monday that the GOP is challenging the new law in court, asserting that it threatened election integrity
“American elections should be decided by American citizens. If Democrats can subvert elections this flagrantly in America’s largest city, they can do it anywhere. The RNC is suing to protect the integrity of our elections, and we stand ready to do the same wherever Democrats try to attack the basic security of your ballot,” McDaniel said in a statement.</blockquote>
Adams has also taken criticism over his plans to put in place a plainclothes gun unit to fight back against surging crime in the city.
“I made it clear on the campaign trail: I’m going to put in place not the Anti-Crime Unit, I’m going to put in place a plainclothes gun unit,” Adams said, according to <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/11/11/eric-adams-vows-return-of-nypd-gun-unit-after-blm-threat/">the New York Post</a>. “This is what I’m going to do. That was my promise and I’m going to keep it.”

Former NYC Democrat Mayor Bill De Blasio Makes His Decision Whether To Run For Governor

If you live in New York City and want to make $100 the easy way, you better act fast.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday announced the city will drop a Benjamin on every resident who gets a COVID-19 booster shot.
&#8220;This will be by far the biggest booster incentive program in the United States of America,&#8221; de Blasio said. &#8220;This is the moment, come out in real big numbers, get those booster shots and help make your family safer and help make this whole city safer.&#8221;
But residents only have until the end of 2021 to cash in on the deal.
Cases of COVID-19, driven by the emergence of the Omicron variant, have soared in the city. On Friday, the city recorded more than 21,000 new COVID cases, setting a single-day record, <a href="https://www.axios.com/nyc-covid-19-booster-cash-incentive-36a6a249-9149-4eb5-8070-d8df37c6ba95.html">according</a> to Axios.
De Blasio also urged those who have not been jabbed to do so.
&#8220;Everyone who has not been vaccinated, it&#8217;s time. Everyone who has not gotten that booster, it&#8217;s time. This city is ready to make sure everyone gets that booster and that&#8217;s the way we move through these challenging few weeks,&#8221; de Blasio said Tuesday. &#8220;No more shutdowns. We&#8217;ve been through them, they were devastating, we can&#8217;t go through it again. We need to all work together these next few weeks.&#8221;
De Blasio&#8217;s incentive plan comes as a leaked British government report says that the Omicron variant is milder than the Delta variant.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), which operates much like the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), found that those who contract Omicron are less likely to become severely ill compared to people who get the Delta variant, according to the data, which was obtained by <a href="https://www.politico.eu/newsletter/london-playbook/scoop-omicron-milder-in-uk-new-years-fireworks-liz-vs-no-10/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Politico</a>.
&#8220;More people are likely to have a mild illness with less serious symptoms — probably in part due to Britain’s large number of vaccinated and previously infected people, and possibly because Omicron may be intrinsically milder,&#8221; Politico reported. &#8220;Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty has previously cautioned against too much optimism based on the initial optimistic signs from South Africa in the past few weeks. However, the UKHSA’s view after studying cases in Britain is that Omicron is indeed usually less severe than Delta.&#8221;
But the report included one caveat. &#8220;The less good news is that while Omicron seems milder overall, the UKHSA has found it is not necessarily mild enough to avoid large numbers of hospitalizations. The experts have found evidence that for those who do become severely ill, there is still a high chance of hospitalization and death.&#8221;
&#8220;The UKHSA has also confirmed that transmissibility of Omicron is very high, meaning that even though it is milder, infections could rocket to the point large numbers still end up in hospital — essentially negating the reduction in severity. NHS staff shortages due to widespread infections also have to be taken into account. Boris Johnson said on Tuesday that there was still &#8216;uncertainty&#8217; on exactly how severe Omicron is, and how this impacts the hospitalization rate,&#8221; said the report.

NYC To Give $100 To Residents Who Get COVID-19 Booster

Omicron

On Thursday night, outgoing New York City Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio told CNN&#8217;s Michael Smerconish that the government should apply COVID-19 vaccine mandates &#8220;forcefully&#8221; because people will not want to go without their paycheck or be prohibited from eating out at restaurants. De Blasio also claims that this would actually help the economy, and that companies have asked him to put mandates in place because it makes the government &#8220;the bad guys&#8221; and takes the pressure off their backs.
Smerconish started the segment with de Blasio by beginning a long commentary, saying in part, &#8220;As for those who won&#8217;t get vaccinated, I&#8217;m convinced that no amount of browbeating is going to cause them to change their ways. I don&#8217;t wish them ill, but there&#8217;s also a limit to my sympathy and compassion should they not take steps to protect themselves and society. And finally, I&#8217;m resolved not to let COVID stop me from leading a productive and as happy a life.&#8221;
But, the host added that New York City&#8217;s rising positivity rate is making it harder for vaccinated people like him to live their lives. &#8220;Mayor, what the heck just happened here?&#8221; the host asked, referencing the new mandates imposed.
&#8220;Omicron happened. This is a whole new animal,&#8221; de Blasio said. &#8220;And we got to be honest about the fact that it&#8217;s moving very fast, and we have to move faster. And honestly, Michael, I really appreciate the humanity and the sort of openness of what you said about what you&#8217;re thinking. But I&#8217;m only going to differ with you on one thing — which is, you know, the folks who aren&#8217;t getting vaccinated. If we apply mandates forcefully, it actually moves a lot of people. The number of people who are just 100% ideologically, dye- in-the-wool anti-vax is still very, very small.&#8221;
&#8220;This city right now, 90% of adults have had at least one dose of the vaccine. And there are plenty of people with strong opinions here. There are plenty of people who like Donald Trump here. There are plenty of people who don&#8217;t want the government to tell them what to do,&#8221; he added. &#8220;But the mandates made a difference because people are not going to lose a paycheck over it. They&#8217;re not going to not be able to go to a restaurant. If you say, &#8216;Here are some clear rules, you want to fully participate in society, all you gotta do is get vaccinated,&#8217; the vast majority of people say, &#8216;Okay, I&#8217;m in.'&#8221;
Later on, de Blasio claimed that critics who said vaccine mandates are bad for business are wrong because they prevent businesses from having to shut down.
&#8220;Covid is bad for business. Mandates are good for business. Covid is bad for business,&#8221; de Blasio told the host. &#8220;I&#8217;ve heard from so many business people, first of all, [who] bluntly said, &#8216;Please do it for us. If the government does it, then we don&#8217;t have to be the bad guys, right? We don&#8217;t have to say to our employees, &#8216;let me explain this to you &#8230; We can just point out that sign on the wall and say, hey, guys, everyone has to do it.'&#8221;
&#8220;A lot of businesspeople said, &#8216;Please make it as universal as possible. So folks won&#8217;t go from one industry to another.&#8217; They&#8217;re trying to shop for a place with no mandate,&#8221; de Blasio said. &#8220;I actually think this is what&#8217;s going to save business. And also what&#8217;s the worst thing in the world for business? What&#8217;s going on now? In England, Germany, Austria, shutdowns restrictions. That&#8217;s what kills business. That&#8217;s what kills jobs. Mandates are actually going to save us from having a shutdown.&#8221;

De Blasio Claims Mandates That Threaten People’s Paychecks and Their Dining Experience Are ‘Good For Business’

On Wednesday, chief medical advisor to the president Dr. Anthony Fauci stated that COVID-19 vaccine mandates similar to the recent one announced in New York City are needed because the country has &#8220;to put communal responsibility ahead of individual preferences.&#8221; He added, &#8220;sometimes if you don&#8217;t come to the realization that it&#8217;s good for yourself, for your family, and the communal good then mandates or requirements become necessary.&#8221;
Fauci made his remarks as part of The Washington Post&#8217;s Covid 2022 symposium sponsored by YouTube Wednesday morning.
The interviewer said to Fauci, &#8220;In New York, we&#8217;re seeing the mayor introduce a vaccine mandate for the private sector, is this the kind of litigation tool that you see in our future in your professional opinion?&#8221;
&#8220;You know, Frances, no one likes to be mandating for people to do things that they might be hesitant to do,&#8221; Fauci responded.
&#8220;But, quite frankly, you have to when you’re in the middle of what we call a historic experience of the worst pandemic of a respiratory disease in the last hundred years. We have to put the communal responsibility ahead of individual preferences,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;So although no one — myself included — likes being told what to do, but sometimes if you don&#8217;t come to the realization that it&#8217;s good for yourself, for your family, and the communal good then mandates or requirements become necessary.&#8221;

Fauci&#8217;s comments come a day after a federal judge struck down the Biden administration&#8217;s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal contractors.
The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-halts-biden-vaccine-mandate-for-federal-contractors">reported</a> Tuesday that court decision was the latest in a string of vaccine mandates that have been paused by various courts in response to lawsuits — including one led by The Daily Wire:</div>
<div>
<blockquote>The [contractor mandate] would have taken effect on January 4th, and would have affected about 25% of the U.S. workforce, including employees of companies like Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Google, and General Motors, Bloomberg reported.
The mandate was opposed by a number of states almost immediately after it was signed, including Arizona, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, and Georgia.
The Biden administration’s mandate for private companies with more than 100 employees has also been suspended. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled an injunction against the mandate. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals is currently considering a lawsuit brought by the Daily Wire and numerous other companies challenging the mandate.</blockquote>
