In 1981, director John Carpenter released a movie that put New York City in a bad light literally. Gotham was portrayed as a depopulated dark prison where federal authorities dumped violent criminals defend for themselves. Any attempt to escape from New York resulted in execution. Today in real life, the pandemic has devastated New York City, bringing fear and grief to its eight and a half million residents. Even before the contagion, folks were getting out. According to the Census Bureau, 181,000 people left New York State last year alone an exodus that leads the country. Many moved to Florida, land of sunshine and no state

income tax. While New York ranks first in overall taxation, Florida is 47th, and now has two million more residents than the Empire State. In spite of that, Florida will spend around $93 billion this year, while New York's budget is an incredible $177 billion. So the question becomes, do New Yorkers get more services than Floridians? No, they don't. Do New York kids get a better education? No, they don't. Do New York drivers a better roads? Nope. And then there is the COVID invasion, which could seal New York's fate at least short term. A significant number of businesses and workers may flee, having experienced hell for months. That means tax revenue will plummet, so Governor Cuomo and his fun bunch of Democrat legislators will have to raise taxes even higher or risk the fault. New York currently runs a $6 billion yearly deficit despite bleeding its workers for every cent. After COVID, some folks will no longer use the squalid subway system, so it will fall deeper into debt.

already the state has approved a new punitive toll for driving into Manhattan, when does enough become enough? New York City is a tremendous cultural bastion, but for some, it has become painful to live and work there. With so many residents packing up, city real estate prices will collapse, especially high-end apartments. Restaurants and stores will shudder, and the city could approach the brink as it did in the 1970s. The incompetent totalitarian mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, is already demanding a federal bailout. But the mayor is a very weak case after allowing his wife to spend close to a billion taxpayer dollars on an educational program, which amounted to little. Governor Cuomo is trying to leverage the pandemic into a White

House bid, but he has to know the desperate shape his state is in. In the assessment, from New York movie, a thug named Snake Pliskin is sent to the decaying city to rescue a president who's being held hostage there. The current president, Donald Trump, is a lifelong New Yorker or was, realizing that Pliskin or Batman or Green Lantern or anybody else cannot rescue Cuomo land. Mr. Trump recently said adios and moved to Florida, where he will have plenty of company going forward. O'Reilly and I approve that message by actually writing it.

were looking forward to retirement. Edward started having serious health issues a few years before he turned 65 and had to take an unplanned early retirement.

Now, the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 14 years ago today, baseball player Barry Bonds, hit his 715th home run, breaking Babe Ruth's long-time record. One year later, Bonds would pass Hank Aaron, becoming the top home run hitter of all time. The San Francisco Giants outfielder was a huge superstar. But today, Bonds is in relative seclusion. The day after Barry Bonds

broke Ruth's record, the word steroids and performance-hanceing drugs were all over the news. applications lined up to take shots at the new home run king, the New York Post went with, quote, junk bonds. Baseball's worst kept secret was unleashed. In 2003, federal agents raided the offices of a San Francisco company called the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative. An anonymous tip claimed the place was pushing performance-enhancing drugs, steroids, to dozens of ballplayers. Its list of clients featured a lineup that included Barry Bonds. To this day, Bonds denies taking steroids, telling a grand jury he never knowingly took an illegal drug. That claim resulted in a perjury trial. He was found guilty, but appealed and won the appeal. Charges were dropped.

Barry Bonds retired in 2007 after 22 seasons. He won seven MVP awards and played in 14 all-steads, Star Games, an impressive list even before you add most home runs ever. But Bonds will never be inducted into the Hall of Fame. And he's not the only one. Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens, Cooperstown will not be calling them anytime soon because all have been accused of abusing steroids. And here's something else you might not know. Before the Bond scandal, Major League Baseball had no official steroid policy. Owners unveiled a a series of reforms after the steroid bonds thing. The first time a player is caught now, 80 games suspension, second time, full season, third time you're out of there. Three strikes, and you are

gone from Major League Baseball. Some fans believe that Barry Bonds and others should be in the Hall of Fame. I do not. If you cheat, and I know there wasn't a steroid policy, but taking drugs to boost your performance is cheating. So if you cheat, you should not be rewarded. Back after this.
