Ex-Albany reporter Jessica Bakeman is 7th woman to accuse Gov. Cuomo of sexual harassment

A former Albany statehouse reporter is now the seventh woman to publicly accuse Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment — detailing on Friday instances of unwanted touching and humiliating comments she endured while covering his administration.

Jessica Bakeman says she was sexually harassed by Cuomo several times since the start of her journalism career in 2012.

THE MAN IS GOING DOWN! NYS Assembly speaker lays groundwork for possible Cuomo impeachment

Heastie’s extraordinary move followed a statement issued Thursday morning in which more than 55 Democratic members of the state Legislature called on Cuomo to resign — in the wake of a report that alleged he put his hands under a female staffer’s blouse and groped her inside Albany’s Executive Mansion late last year.

Mayor Bill de Blasio also joined the growing bipartisan chorus demanding Cuomo’s resignation amid the spiraling twin scandals engulfing him.

Impeaching the three-term governor would require a simple majority vote of the Assembly, which is composed of 106 Democrats, 43 Republicans and one independent.

“I am startled. Never has anyone, until this year, come forward and accuse me of sexual harassment. So I hugged them, pressed my chest up against their breast, grabbed them around the waist, kissed them on the lips. What is the big deal. “

The allegations are the most serious yet made against Cuomo, who’s previously been accused of sexual harassment and other inappropriate behavior by five other women, four of whom were his aides at the time.

The latest accuser says that the incident took place on the second floor of the Executive Mansion in Albany and that it wasn’t the first time Cuomo touched her, the Times Union said.

Gov. Cuomo allegedly reached under aide’s blouse and groped her: report

Gov. Andrew Cuomo allegedly reached under a female aide’s blouse and groped her inside the Executive Mansion in Albany, according to a report Wednesday.

The incident allegedly unfolded after the much-younger woman was summoned to help the 63-year-old governor fix a problem with his cellphone, the Albany Times Union said.

On Monday, the president appeared to forget Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s name during a White House event, calling the Pentagon chief “the guy who runs that outfit over there.”

“And I want to thank the sec — the, the, ah former general. I keep calling him general, but my, my — the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said.

Biden, 78, made history as the oldest person to ever assume the presidency. 

Last month, appearing in Houston, Biden thanked Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, whom he referred to as “Shirley Jackson Lee. 

In October 2020, the then-Democratic candidate mispronounced the name of his running mate, now-Vice President Kamala Harris. She says her name is pronounced “comma-la,” where Biden pronounced it “camel-a.”

On the campaign trail, Biden called former President Donald Trump “Donald Hump,” before making light of the slip and drawing a laugh from the crowd. 

“If Donald Hump, Donald Trump, Freudian slip, if Donald Trump is re-elected he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation,” Biden said at the New Hampshire Democratic Convention. 

Cuomo accused of touching aide at the Executive Mansion: report

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo faces sexual harassment allegations from yet another woman, an Albany newspaper reported Tuesday.

“A(sic) I said last week, this is very simple, I never touched anyone inappropriately,” he said. “As I said last week, I never made any inappropriate advances.”

“He never touched anyone inappropriately”, is he the witness, jury and judge. Who is he to say. “LOCK UP THE MONSTER BEFORE HE DOES MORE DAMAGE.” The guy is out of control.

“I don’t see a problem here. It is in my nature to grope women. What is the big deal if I kiss them on their lips? What is the fuss all about? Gee whizz, I am proud of my Cohiba? This had been blown all out of proportion. Truly, I didn’t mean to offend anyone. I’m so sorry if I did. Next time I swear, I will only kiss their ass.”

An incident this week at the White House involving Major, one of two German Shepherds that roamed the hallowed halls, was a cause of Major concern. Apparently Major, a three year old shelter dog, took a piece out of the ass of a staff member. What was the provocation here? According to people in the know, the Secret Service, Major became agitated by the Covid-19 $1.9 billion legislation. Why all the fuss? Well, Major lobbied for vaccines for the canine gang, but his PUSH fell on deaf ears.

President’s dogs reportedly returned home after German shepherd Major bit member of White House staff. Since moving in a week after the president’s inauguration in January, he “has been known to display agitated behaviour on multiple occasions, including jumping, barking, and ‘charging’ at staff and security”, CNN reported, citing two White House sources.

The only problem today is with those fck-ups who can’t take the truth. What is the truth, the truth is the facts. Maybe the solution is a prefrontal lychotomy or a old time lobotomy. The choice is up to them.

Whatever jolt they prefer, the end result will be the same. A straightjacket for the rest of their life. For us common folk know they are all crazy beyond help, suffering from the worst disease known to man, “SOCIALISM.”

Biden criticizes Texas and Mississippi for lifting restrictions: ‘Neanderthal thinking’

President Joe Biden on Wednesday called Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision to end his state’s mask mandate “Neanderthal thinking,” echoing frustration from top COVID-19 response officials in his administration that case numbers are not low enough to relax restrictions before more Americans are vaccinated.

Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott announced Tuesday the state would “100% reopen,” ending the mask mandate and allowing businesses to operate without restrictions, a move that contradicts Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance and public health experts from around the country.

Three-finger salute: Hunger Games symbol adopted by Myanmar protesters

The gesture was first used after a coup in Thailand in 2014 and has since come to stand for solidarity and resistance across the region

Athree-fingered salute that originated in the Hunger Games film series has been adopted by activists from Thailand to Myanmar, becoming a symbol of resistance and solidarity for democracy movements across south-east Asia.

The gesture, along with popular online memes repurposed as protest signs, are part of a suite of symbols adopted from global popular culture by a new generation of young activists reared on the internet and savvy about making their struggles resonate with audiences abroad.

The three-fingered gesture was first used in Myanmar last week by medical workers, then youth protesters started raising it in opposition to the military coup. On Monday, one week after the takeover, the salute could be seen during huge protests on the streets of Yangon.

IF THEY CAN DO IT – WE CAN DO IT

Switzerland has narrowly voted in favour of banning face coverings in public, including the burka or niqab worn by Muslim women.

Official results showed the measure had passed by 51.2% to 48.8% in Sunday’s referendum.

The proposal was put forward by the right-wing Swiss People’s Party (SVP) which campaigned with slogans such as “Stop extremism”.

Sanija Ameti, a member of Switzerland’s Muslim community, told the BBC that the campaign – and the depiction of Muslim women in the posters – had been upsetting.

“So many Muslims in Switzerland will feel insulted and not part of this society, and pushed into a corner where they don’t belong. We don’t look like these women in the pictures, we just don’t,” she said.

However, others in the Muslim community supported the ban.

Imam Mustafa Memeti, from the city of Bern, told the BBC he thought the motivation behind the campaign was “probably Islamophobic”. But he said he supported the ban anyway because it could help to emancipate Muslim women in Switzerland.

Ahead of the vote, Walter Wobmann, chairman of the referendum committee and an SVP lawmaker, described Muslim face coverings as “a symbol for this extreme, political Islam which has become increasingly prominent in Europe and which has no place in Switzerland”.

“In Switzerland our tradition is that you show your face. That is a sign of our basic freedoms,” he said.

Tiger Woods was involved in a one car crash. He ended up in the hospital for treatment of serious injuries. We wish him well.

What disturbs us is the talk of opening a CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. Say what? They must be f’n kidding. Well it didn’t happen.

Criminal charges are not being considered in the Palos Verdes Peninsula crash that left golfer Tiger Woods with serious injuries , Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said Wednesday. 

During a midday briefing, Villanueva said there are no indications Woods was impaired in any way when the Genesis SUV he was driving crashed and rolled off a sweeping street and onto a hillside. At most, the investigation could lead to an infraction if it’s determined Woods was on his cell phone or distracted in some other way, the sheriff said.

“This is purely accidental,” Villanueva said.

Our dilemma was triggered by the word “CRIMINAL”. Can you imagine that, Daily, thousands upon thousands of criminals are breaking into our country. We never here the word “CRIMINAL” applied to them. So you get the picture.
