Shame on Rochester, New York Mayor Malik Evans, The Rochester Red Wings and ESL Federal Credit Union

Rochester, New York is one of the poorest cities in the U.S.

The child poverty rate is 42%.

Under Rochester, New York Mayor Malik Evans' watch, the city has seen some of the most horrific, and disturbing acts of violence including murders, many of which remain unsolved.

Take for example the July 28, 2024 mass shooting at Rochester's Maplewood Park, a park where I used to take my children to play.

On that day, folks had gathered for a cookout and to enjoy a beautiful summer day, when shots rang out, as dozens of people ran, while some dove for cover.

While most were able to get away, unfortunately two young women were killed in this senseless act of violence.

Tyasia Manning, 25, a City of Rochester employee, remembered for her love of children and Phylicia Council 34, who worked with special needs children, were both shot in the barrage of more than 40 bullets fired that day which also left five injured.

As I'm writing this, nearly two years after the mass shooting, the murders remain unsolved.

So why, just 3 days before the 2-year anniversary of this mass shooting, would the City of Rochester, New York and Mayor Malik Evans pay rapper 

Rick Ross, or as he calls himself "The Bawse" known for his violent and misogynist lyrics, to perform at the Rochester Red Wings ESL stadium?

Yes, on July 25th, just three days before the two year anniversary of one of Rochester, New York's deadliest mass shootings, Rochester, New York Mayor Malik Evans is bringing Rick Ross to Rochester, where he will rap about drugs, guns, and murdering people.

But Rick Ross doesn't just rap about drugs, guns and killing people.

Rick Ross is also known for boasting about raping women, as well as condoning date rape.

In one of his songs Ross raps: 

"Put molly all in her champagne, she didn't even know it, I took her home and I enjoyed that, she didn't even know it."

"Molly" is short for the drug MDMA.

Rick Ross is also known for violent lyrics such as one song where he raps: 

"Out the passenger, lead in the automatic off / For egg or that girl, I knock your mommy and daddy off / Fuck around and knock the emblem off the Caddy off."

It's important to note that this isn't some independent concert promoter contracting Rick Ross to perform.

This is the City of Rochester, New York and Mayor Malik Evans who is bringing Rick Ross and his violent music to a city that has been plagued by violence.

It's also important to note that the July 25th concert will be held down the street from the where the mass shooting took place in Maplewood Park.

Also disturbing is that the Rochester Red Wings baseball organization, is welcoming Rick Ross to perform at their stadium.

In fact, the Rochester Red Wings are promoting the Rick Ross concert on all their social media platforms .

And can't leave ESL Federal Credit Union out, as they own the naming rights to the Rochester Red Wings, which is known as ESL Ballpark.

In other words. the words "ESL BALLPARK" will be front and center on full display as a disgusting individual named Rick Ross spews his violent, murderous, rape condoning filth on that July summer night in Rochester, New York.

Rochester, New York Mayor Malik Evans

So what does Rochester, New York Mayor Malik Evans think of bringing Rick Ross to town?

Well, this is what Mayor Evans said when announcing the concert:

"We're proud to host world-renowned, multi-platinum hip hop artist Rick Ross in concert at the Red Wings ESL Ballpark."

Shame on Rochester, New York Mayor Malik Evans.

Shame on the Rochester Red Wings.

And shame on ESL Federal Credit Union.

All putting profit over moral decency.

KAMALA HARRIS -- 47TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

By MJ Vara

Please don't hate me -- agree or disagree. 

I have been very judicious in considering the whole Biden withdrawing thing. Here is my thinking (short version -- believe it or not):

The night of the debate I could not watch -- I posted a self-created meme here saying so and also sent it to my kids (it said: I can't watch — lmk if we crash-and-burn).

A few minutes later my daughter texted me : “We are crashing and burning.”

Why did I not watch the debate?

First I was shocked by the poor choice of Biden calling/accepting an early debate (earliest ever), with no audience to energize him, and with CNN controlling/shutting off mics.

WTF?! 

The key to having Trump self-implode is the same one his supporters think is a winning strategy (it's not -- not with independents, anyway):

LET TRUMP BE TRUMP!

Trump is a sociopath -- life-long undiagnosed and untreated pathologies -- and he is nearly 80, walks oddly, stands oddly, uses fake hair and bronzer and teeth and is uneducated, ill-informed, and likely has early dementia (perseverates about windmills and sharks ad nauseam-- a sure sign).

Mics off ruins this.

Even before the debate I thought Biden and his team simply were incapable of calling Trump out forcefully.

Trump uses the rhetorical technique called Brandolini's Law (only law he adheres to — Google it…there’s a Wikipedia article). 

Trump seeks to overwhelm with bullying, bravado, stupidity, and bullshit.

Anyone debating such a person MUST PUSH BACK sharply, smartly, mercilessly, FORCEFULLY —  and stick to only a handful of issues/rebuttals and REPEAT those again-and-again — drive them home...not get caught in "whack-a-mole" or fall into rhetorical traps, etc.

It takes great skill --- and great ENERGY — to debate this asshole.

You must bloody a bully's nose. Period (not his ear). 

You must humiliate and trigger Trump (should be easy) and not let him get away with shit — and block his use of Brandolini's Law. 

I knew Biden was both too low-energy (in a consistent manner) and too decent a man to get in there with Trump -- like in a boxing match.

But, I waited to see how things would unfold in the following days and was pleased with Biden's kick-ass speech the next day.

However, while he does NOT have dementia and has always been gaff-prone and his childhood stutter emerges occasionally but says nothing about the man -- President Biden has lost something that has been important since JFK -- since the TV era: PRESENTATION. 

JFK had both the appearance and the substance -- Reagan was master of appearance and stagecraft (not so much substance -- maybe conservative substance, I suppose).

I love Biden's substance -- and I don't care about appearances.

But guess what? The American public care tremendously about appearances -- too much, but to some degree that is justified.

President Biden's interviews/speeches the last couple of weeks have been a very mixed bag -- substance/policy = A+++...but presentation has been uneven with major gaffs (like confusing people's names with others, etc) These CAN BE seen as a sign of dementia (I do not believe it is in Biden's case).

Also: Biden, justly or not, has lost the narrative: there is a cascading daily call for him to withdraw, and increasingly by more mature/powerful Dems.

I have spoken with young people around my complex, pool, area parks, etc. (trying not to seem creepy, lol) -- some are well-informed (and thus progressive), some ill-informed (but fearing/hating Trump).

Universally, including my kids (all 18-23) who WILL vote for Biden if he is on ballot in November, they are either unaware of Biden's many progressive accomplishments the last four years (my kiddos are aware) and/or simply feel uninspired/unexcited or very worried about the President's presentation (my kiddos).

I believe in Professor Allan Lichtman's model of "13 Keys to the White House" -- he has been right 9-out-of-10 presidential elections since 1984 (wrong only 2000 -- and everyone knows that election really was stolen from Gore -- at the very least so many glitches like the "butterfly ballot" in Pam Beach County Fl. messed it up -- so, I'd say Lichtman is 10-for-10.)

Litchman says it would be a mistake for Biden to withdraw -- he has majority the of the 13 keys (I forget how many).

One of the most important keys? 

INCUMBENCY.

I am with Lichtman.

But, Litchman also says (and I thought of this before he stated it) that if Biden does withdraw he MUST resign and hand the incumbency to Kamala Harris.

I am -- as of now -- for this.

First, Biden would conclude his amazing legacy with being instrumental in positioning Harris as the first female President of the United States.

Second, PRESIDENT Harris would create unity and excitement again within the Dem party -- especially bringing back or engaging young people for the first time.

Third: arrogant Trump believes -- and he is unfortunately increasingly right -- that he can beat Biden and wants Biden to be the nominee (he is worried about a replacement).

PRESIDENT Harris will throw a massive monkey wrench into Trump's campaign.

It will even mess up their expectations DAY ONE: Trump hats, flags, banners, letterheads, and even his official "Agenda 47" (just another Project 2025) have to be redone…”47” is lost to them.

Yes, Trump can still hope to win BUT: he will not "sandwich-in" Biden (as Bushes did Clinton) — something he longs for; and he will NOT be the 47th POTUS.

PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS would be the 47th President of the United States -- win or lose!

That's it.

Thanks for reading.

If You’re Looking for a Used Car, Stay Away from A1 Auto Sales in Rochester, New York

 

BY DAVY V.

When a Rochester, New York area church wanted to purchase a used car for a young woman in their congregation, they turned to A1 Auto Sales. 

The young woman was so happy to have her first car.

They later found out that the car they purchased from Ahmed Thajeel, who introduced himself as the owner of A1  Auto Sales, had serious issues that he kept from them. 

Among other things, the car had been in a serious accident which Ahmed Thajeel never disclosed.

In fact, it wasn’t until the young woman took the car in for service at local repair shop, that a mechanic noticed the serious structural damage on the frame, that had been covered over with what the mechanic described as a cement like mixture and then spray painted black. 

The mechanic told the young woman that the car was not roadworthy.

Simply put, the car was not safe to drive.

And just like that, a church who did something nice for a young woman, by buying her her first car, lost $5,000 and the young woman didn’t have a car. 

One of the biggest mistakes the good folks from the church made was not asking for a CarFax report before purchasing the vehicle. 

A few weeks ago, my son texted me a link to a car that he fell in love with on Facebook Marketplace. 

I told him to go look at the car, take it for a test drive, and if he liked it I would buy it for him. 

Well, he did, and shortly afterwards, I paid the dealer $4,500 cash. 

Just a couple of days later, the car’s check engine light came on. 

The next day, the car was in a repair shop and I paid $740 for repairs that included a catalytic converter and an O2 sensor. 

And just a couple days after the car was out of the shop, my son calls me and tells me that the left front wheel of the car broke off while he was driving. 

Thank god he had just gotten off the expressway, because I don’t even want to think what could have happened if the front wheel had broken off while my son was driving at 55 miles per hour on the expressway.

As you can see in the photos below, the car’s wheel broke off with so much force that it ripped the axle out of the transmission.

Back to the repair shop once again. 

This time I paid to have brand new ball joints installed as well as axles.

As it turns out the car has several serious issues that the dealer never disclosed. 

Simply put, that dealer sold my son a lemon.

Oh by the way, that dealer I paid $4,500 cash to? 

His name is Ahmed Thajeel.

                                               Ahmed Thajeel, Owner A1 Auto Sales

Yep, the same dealer who defrauded a church.

I asked Ahmed Thajeel for a full refund plus repair expenses. 

He refused. 

Then he blocked me.

I have filed complaints with the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles in Albany, as well as with the New York State Attorney General’s Office.

So if you happen to be in the Rochester, New York area and are looking for a used car, you may want to stay away from Ahmed Thajeel and A1 Auto Sales. 

NOTE: By the way, it’s important to note that Ahmed Thajeel, a native of Baghdad, Iraq also refused to give me his last name.

In fact, he didn’t even include his last name on any of the paperwork when I purchased the car for my son.

It wasn’t until I filed a complaint with New York State that I found out his last name, which they gave to me.

They also gave me his NYS Auto Dealer ID: 7127159

I just think it’s interesting that someone who is both registered and licensed as a New York State car dealer would refuse to give his last name as well as omit his last name from ALL paperwork.

It’s almost as if he has something to hide.

Stay tuned…

Why is Rochester, New York News Media Ignoring What’s Happening to Brighton, New York?

 

BY DAVY V.

Why isn’t Rochester, New York news media reporting what has been happening in Brighton, New York, a Town suburb of Rochester, with a population of approximately 36,000 once considered a safe community for families.

As a Brighton resident for the past nearly 15 years, who specifically moved to Brighton for the schools and so my children could feel safe, I can tell you that I have personally seen just how much Brighton has changed.

In just the past two years, there has been a rapid and disturbing uptick in crime in Brighton. 

And perhaps as equally disturbing is the fact that instead of informing the public, Brighton Town Officials, including Town Supervisor Bill Moehle, together with Rochester, New York news media have done a great job at hiding it from the public.

And they continue to do so.

From major drug raids, including one around 5 a.m. in the morning, where a multi-task Monroe County, New York law enforcement narcotics team dressed like SWAT members smashed and jumped through windows of an apartment building while unsuspecting families with young children slept, to gang assaults in broad daylight, to home break-ins, including one incident just a block from the Brighton Police Department, where a parolee broke into a family’s home in the middle of the day, to my own home being burglarized, to Rochester gang members dumping stolen cars in Brighton, to an elderly white man who was recently pepper-sprayed and beaten by a group of black women who then stole his phone, Brighton, NY Town Officials and Rochester news media have kept it all hush. 

As a Brighton, New York resident I’m choosing to use my platforms including this blog to shine a light on what’s going on in my Town while Rochester, New York news media continues to look the other way. 

Stay tuned.
