They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” This stupid statement cost him deals with NBC, Spanish-language […]

So here’s something nice from the NYPD for a change: a pair of officers played a pickup basketball game with some kids in the Bronx. These cops, even in full uniform with gun and radio and ugly clunky cop shoes, can still ball. The shorter cop in particular has a great handle. Even if this […]

You knew Trump Ferry Point, Donald Trump’s overpriced golf course in a low-income and relatively isolated part of the southeast Bronx, was dumb. But did you realize it’s directly across the street from a housing project? That’s right! As you can clearly see in the video, shot from ANIMAL 3, the fancy name for ANIMAL’s […]
