BIDEN VOTERS POSTING THEIR L’S ONLINE: Ex-Gov. Paterson says it’s a ‘frightening time’ in NYC with migrant crisis, toxic smog, weak real-estate market.

The migrant crisis, weak commercial real-estate market and toxic smog from Canadian wildfires make this “a frightening time” to be in the Big Apple, ex-Gov. David Paterson said Sunday.

The former governor started out his dismal stance by noting how COVID-19 wreaked havoc on US cities — and predicted things will only get worse.

“It is a really difficult time for the cities in this country because those who have a lot of office buildings like New York — and the New York Post wrote about this on Friday — less and less space is being used,” Paterson told John Catsimatidis on the “Cat’s Roundtable” on WABC-770.

“It’s causing the property values to fall. It’s causing more and more people to not come to work at the rate it would’ve been thought once the pandemic ended,” he said.

“It’s going to be a real crisis down the road,” Paterson said.

“Add to that that there are people coming into the city — but it’s the migrant population.

This isn’t who we are. Paterson clearly needs to reread the words on the Statue of Liberty — and Mayor Adams’ promise that New York would be a sanctuary city under his watch.

REMEMBER WHEN JOE BIDEN WAS GOING TO RESTORE RELATIONS WITH OUR ALLIES? Saudi Arabia seeks cooperation with China, ‘ignores’ Western worries.

Saudi Arabia wants to collaborate, not compete, with China, the kingdom’s energy minister declared on Sunday, saying he “ignored” Western suspicions over their growing ties.

As the world’s top oil exporter, Saudi Arabia’s bilateral relationship with the world’s biggest energy consumer is anchored by hydrocarbon ties. But cooperation between Riyadh and Beijing has also deepened in security and sensitive tech amid a warming of political ties – to the concern of the U.S.

Asked about criticism of the bilateral relationship during an Arab-China business conference, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said: “I actually ignore it because … as a business person .. now you will go where opportunity comes your way.”

Previously: Biden is trying to lure Saudi Arabia’s crown prince away from China with lucrative promises, despite once threatening to make him a ‘pariah.’

Riyadh getting chummy with China is business and personal.

ICYMI: BIDEN VOTERS POSTING THEIR L’S ONLINE: “Liberal Woman” Complains That It’s Hard To Find Masculine Men Who Aren’t Conservative.

@ms_petch shares something on TikTok that has made dating very difficult lately. She calls it “one of the saddest realizations” she has had recently. “As a liberal woman, it is really hard to find a man who’s willing to play the more traditional masculine role in the relationship in today’s day and age who is not a conservative,” she admits. She attributes certain characteristics to a traditional, masculine man: paying for the first date, opening the door for the woman, caring for and providing for the woman. She wants all of this in a man—as long as he’s not conservative.

“Obviously as a liberal woman, I do want to be respected for my independence and I do want to have my own autonomy in the relationship and not be conformed to the traditional female homemaker, childbearing role,” she continues. “And most of the men that I dated who do have that more natural provider masculinity about them are normally conservative.”

She is at a loss because she wants to be with a masculine man but doesn’t want to compromise her morals and values. She asks her followers if she is asking for too much when she requests a man she can be “equal” with while he still provides for her.

Smash the cultural norms! Well, maybe not that far.
