Anti-Trump Dem Mayor now Agrees With Trump

New York City’s Democrat Mayor Bill de Blasio is backtracking and now siding with President Trump. The Democrat is now saying that New York schools “can and should” be kept open. The Big Apple has flip-flopped on opening school briefly only to send students back home with their laptops. Trump has been saying for months that students must resume in-person learning, especially once data revealed the low level of transmission rates between children and the often less-severe symptoms.

Fox News reports:

De Blasio said that between Dec. 7 and 23, nearly 100,000 tests were taken from students and staff, and the rate was 0.68 percent.

“Look at the amazing success we’ve had in our schools, keeping them safe,” Hizzoner said. “Clearly New York City public schools one of the safest places to be in all of New York City.”

“I am confident that we can and should keep them open but again the state will make that ultimate decision based on state data and state standards,” he said.

Indicators on Tuesday suggested that a shutdown was still a possibility. The city had 182 new hospitalizations, below its 200 metric, but its 3,390 positive or suspected cases and 7.45 percent positivity rate (on a seven-day average) are above the city’s thresholds.

New York City closed schools in November because of a spike in cases in the city before partially reopening them in December after continued pressure from parents.



      1. Just my two (not “to” or “too”) cents worth and I’m sure I’ll pay for this by “we the people”, but words do mean something or at least they should, otherwise, why use them. We all make mistakes while making our (not “are”) comments, but it’s worth taking the time to use the correct word when communicating. It gives your opinion the correct emphasis when others read it. Now, Will could have been a little more forgiving when posting his correction, ie, “How did you do in grade school, hmmm?”. Didn’t have to denigrate Mutzika in the process of correcting him/her. I know, I know, using “to” instead of “too” doesn’t cause the earth’s axis to lean more which may cause more “man made climate change” (now that’s another subject we won’t discuss here because I’d be opening a can of worms to get crucified for). As I said, I’m sure I’ll be castigated with this comment, but that’s Ok because I made my opinion known. Just trying to communicate that it’s worth the time to communicate in a way others can understand what you are trying to say. Hopefully, I’ve done that. If not, I’ll take your comments and learn from them.
        Good night, John Boy.

  1. President Trump 2017-2024 so let it be recorded to the dismay of the thieves, Liberals, and the News Media, and Big tech. But most of all, the Chinese Government who thought they had bought it through our greedy $ BILLIONAIRES $. God is still in control.

      1. Biggest lie of 2020. We should have Biden do another rally and watch the crowds appear. He’ll get at least 23 people , counting the reporters.

      2. They voted for a guy who introduces his grand daughter as his dead son. And more Germans voted for Hitler. Most said Hitler could be believed. Most said socialism in Venezuela was OK (now the gov’t there shoots dissenters). All this to say, Albert, that the majority of people are not necessarily smart enough to know what is best. Only believing what they are told and they are too lazy to conduct any verification.

      3. Yea, those who submitted fraudulent and illegal ballots, ie, those who brought in boxes of ballots that only voted for Joe, those who weren’t old enough to vote, those who had moved out of state, those who were dead and somehow were resurrected just in time to vote, those who voted multiple times, those who voted on ballots that were copy machine ballots, those who voted, but didn’t live in the district they voted in, those whose signature didn’t match that on record, the districts where there were more ballots counted than there were voters registered, those who didn’t allow the Republicans to monitor the votes being counted and those who were counting the votes and interpreted provisional ballots for Joe because they just knew this person meant to vote for Joe. It also seems rather strange that most of this occurred in the battleground states of Michigan, PA, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia and Nevada. Plus, how many of these states had a significant lead for President Trump when they “quit counting votes” around the same time on election night, but the next morning when vote counters arrived to start again, President Trump’s lead was significantly reduced by tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of votes when no one was there counting them. Strange, strange, strange. That’s like being at a football game when it’s stopped for a lightning storm and both teams are sent to the locker rooms to wait it out. When the storm passes and they come back on the field to finish the game, the team that was ahead by three touchdowns when the game was suspended is suddenly ahead by only three points. I’m sure there would be some questions asked by the coach and fans that had the lead of 21 points, don’t you think? If the Biden campaign is so confident they won this election, then why don’t they allow a forensic analysis of the challenged votes that are in question? I’m sure you’ll have your “pat” one sentence answer for all my questions, but this isn’t over until the “fat lady sings”, but I’m sure you’ll hire a “fat lady” to begin singing 😉 or, should I say, George Soros will.

      1. YES – A greedy Billionaire who just happens to LOVE THE U.S.A.
        Unlike you the hate filled anti american that you are.

      2. Albert — and Bill Gates, George Soros and Mark Zuckenberg are not “greedy” billionaires?

  2. Just a snake sliding along with public opinion…Election is over now so how do I save my snake skin…Sell the country out and one of the best cities in the world…

  3. The tests also show positive when it’s flu or any other coronavirus like the common cold. It’s time for people to stop running and getting tested at every sniffle. The only way to resume normal life is to stop getting tested and allowing the false positives to keep the numbers high. .

  4. Nobody ever tells us how many of those who test positive show any symptoms. We are also never told how many have recovered from any symptoms. Those are the important numbers, not who tests positive.

    1. Why is the number of asymptomatic important?
      The number of cases and deaths are listed, the difference is the number that recovered.

  5. I think Blasio thinks he has cured the virus and saved the world from certain death, all thanks to his courage and foresight.

      1. Considering Comrade Bill is not up for election this year means his ass CAN’T be scrapped yet. What a bold call you’ve made.

      2. Stupid greedy people vote for thieves like Biden, Bilasio, Pelosi etc. All these people care about is maintaining their expensive lifestyle on taxpayer’s backs and power. They do nothing for American people – that is why every election continues with the same arguments – healthcare, immigration, and racial issues – this has been going on since the 50’s and not one democrat in office has fixed a damn thing. Trump 2020-2024

  6. Never mind what de Blasio (Wilhelm) say now, he is not the best choice of Mayor. maybe they are slowly starting to realise President Trump won and many have been Gitmo’ d? Rats scullering around Him and Cuomo have ruined New York. Sinatra would turn in his Grave. And Donald Trump helped rebuild New York when it was at its lowest point before. he must also feel quite ill at the state of it now. Thanks to lawlessness and Communism apart from Murdering full term babies and New York having been the Hotseat of Pedophilia as well

  7. Must be nice hindsight is never wrong now is the time to admit you are a nut and needs removed from office.

  8. Who trusts this man and his rhetoric. He’s starting to run scared and he’s trying to get conservatives in New York city on board. De Blasio you’re a punk whose days are numbered. You’re time is now for the trash bin. The President’s not and can’t help you. The citizens don’t want you.

  9. UNLES they keep that socialist crap out of the schools my kids go to it won’t matter if it’s open or not they will not go to that kind of bullshit . and let me hear of that ignorance anywhere close to me about a teacher trying to make a student apologize for being white thwre will be a very serious problem !!! Bank on it . that teacher will not return to school for at least the rest of that year . And may change their mind about trying it again . garuanteed there will be a very hard reprocusions . And some teacher will be out of work for quite a while.
