Knicks win Opener
While Adams & Cuomo Plan an Endorsement in the Stands
October 22, 2025 / NYC Mayoral Race, Manhattan Parks Sports & Environment News NYC, Manhattan Politics Government & Media NYC, Manhattan News NYC, Manhattan Buzz NYC.
The New York Knicks won their home opener against the Cavaliers [119 - 111] at Madison Square Garden. Last year the Knicks made it to the second round of the Playoffs, for the first time since 2013. In spite of the successful season, the Knicks let go of head coach Thibodeau, whose five year contract had expired.
Mike Brown is the new head coach who the Knicks are hoping will take a more aggressive approach to offense.
Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo were in the stands at the game in Madison Square Garden. Cuomo arrived at the game shortly after leaving the 2nd Mayoral Debate in western Queens. The following day Adams endorsed Cuomo's run for mayor.
The City reports that in September Adams had reportedly called Cuomo "a snake and a liar". News 12 Brooklyn reports that Curtis Sliwa, the Republican candidate, said “They made the marriage, and they're probably going to write the book, which is ‘how to be a crook’ on taxpayers' dime.". Mamdani summed up the meeting, stating "Corruption goes court side.". Both Adams and Cuomo have been tacitly embraced by Donald Trump, and both men have been supported by a number of the same billionaires, who too often appear to be the beneficiaries of Adams' and Cuomo's respective tenures.

Governor Hochul Expands Drought Warning in New York State
Climate Change Desiccating NYS Along with the Rest of the Nation
October 8, 2025 / Albany NYS / NYC Politics Government & Media NYC, NYC Parks Sports & Environment News NYC, NYC News NYC, Gotham Buzz NYC.
Drought Conditions in NYS Grow Worse, as Governor Hochul rolls out the current Drought Warning to ten additional counties [1st & 2nd links below].
Drought Warning is the second of the four level warning system, and some believe that some of the counties may soon become captive to a Drought Emergency. If a county is moved from Drought Warning to Drought Emergency water use is mandatorily curtailed. If a county is moved to Drought Disaster, the access to water is even further curtailed [3rd link below].
TV News again fails to Inform. While a great deal of TV News talk regarding climate change has focused on flooding, the real damage thus far comes from hurricanes and high winds [4th link below].
But what's worse, is that TV News continues to fail to inform the American public by looking backward - out of the rearview mirror - as if that's the future ... when it is not. The real climate change disaster is on its way and it's about lack of water, not too much of it [5th link]. If you think inflation is bad now, wait until farmers crops start drying out before harvest time. Pay attention to which TV Network News outlets mislead you, by labeling climate changes, the 'climate hoax', as well as those who promote the use and government subsidies given to the fossil fuel industry.

Trump Administration Appears to Use Government Agency Websites to Disinform about Climate Change
This Appears to be in Exchange for [Quid Pro Quo?] the $445 Million Investment made by Oil & Gas in Trump and the GOP's 2024 Campaigns
Is Trump's Aggressive Stance Toward Venezuela about Drugs or Oil & Gas Profits?
October 9, 2025 / U.S. Politics & National News, NYC Parks Sports & Environment News NYC, NYC News NYC, Gotham Buzz NYC.
The Trump Administration has been changing the narrative about the real causes of climate change and the real impact of it, ostensibly to please his donors. Most notably there have been changes on the National Institute of Health [NIH] website, denying climate change. It seems highly plausible they are changing the narrative to please Trump and Republican oil and gas campaign funders, who donated almost a half billion to Trump and Republicans' campaigns in 2024 election alone [1st & 2nd links].
It is also believed that Trump's oil and gas campaign funders have been pushing him to aggressively put the screws to Venezuela, in order to impede Venezuela's ability to compete in the global oil and gas markets. Trump's attacks on boats in the Caribbean may have nothing to do with illicit drugs, as the Trump Administration has failed to produce any evidence of such. Republcian Senate Majority Leader, John Thune, continues to provide cover for Trump's lawless actions [7th, 8th & 9th links].
