Hey NYC "We Do Not Discriminate" - Roccos Restaurant Sign

Hey NYC We Do Not Discriminate - Roccos Restaurant Sign 

Mary Josephine Generoso of Rocco's says she doesn't want to conflict with hungry New Yorkers' right to "roam freely."

Not all Big Apple restaurants were happy as a citywide vaccine mandate took effect on Monday — and some are all but thumbing their noses at the controversial clampdown.  

The so-called “Key to NYC” program — which requires diners to show proof they’ve been vaccinated from COVID — has gotten support from high-profile restaurateurs like Danny Meyer of the Gramercy Tavern and Eric Ripert of Le Bernardin, as well as the owners of Sylvia’s in Harlem.

But some fret that the new rules won’t be enforceable and that they will turn off tourists as local eateries scramble to recover from a year and a half of lockdowns. Others say they won’t even try to enforce the new rule beginning Sept. 13, when city inspections at restaurants, indoor entertainment venues and gyms are slated to begin. 

Shortly after Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the new rules on Aug. 3, a sign appeared in the front window of Pasticceria Rocco, a pastry shop and diner in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn: “We do not discriminate against any customer based on sex, gender, race, creed, age, vaccinated or unvaccinated. All customers who wish to patronize are welcome.”

Restaurants Sue New York City, de Blasio for Indoor Dining Vaccination Mandate

Mayor Bill de Blasio and the city of New York are facing their first lawsuit from restaurants for the executive order requiring proof of vaccination to dine indoors.

The Independent Restaurant Owners Association Rescue, Max’s Esca, DeLuca’s Italian Restaurant and Pasticceria Rocco are seeking an injunction against de Blasio’s executive order. Two fitness venues, Evolve-33 and Staten Island Judo Jujitsu, were also listed as plaintiffs in the complaint. All of the plaintiffs, excluding Pasticceria Rocco, are based in Staten Island. The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in New York Supreme Court.

Nick Paolucci, press secretary for New York City’s law department, said that the city is reviewing the complaint.A NYC restaurant manager goes renegade in the face of new vaccination-proof rules https://t.co/BoXxJhF6Db pic.twitter.com/itFy65xY2P

NY Post Twitter Account Locked & Censored

Twitter tries to hold the account of The Post hostage through the debate between Trump and Biden. 

It's been a week since Twitter locked the account of The Post over its exposé on the emails of Hunter Biden, and the hostage situation continues to continue into Thursday's final presidential debate. 

The social media giant refuses to activate the main account of The Post unless six tweets about its own reporting on the son of Joe Biden are removed by the news organization. 

This suggests that the Post will not be able to share its coverage of the last showdown between President Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden with its nearly 2 million followers ahead of the Nov. 3 election. 

On Oct. 14, when the news organization released the first article in its series of bombshell stories, Twitter locked The Post's main account. 

Despite Twitter changing its policy on Oct. 15 and allowing other users to tweet the very same links, it remained blocked, following outrage over the suppression of the stories by social media.

"A Twitter representative told The Post in an email on Oct. 16," Although we've changed the policy, we're not retroactively modifying compliance. To regain access to your account, you'll also need to delete the tweets. 

"But everyone who looks at the Twitter feed of The Post can't even see the Biden story tweets that have been replaced by messages stating," This Tweet isn't accessible anymore. 

Meanwhile, on Twitter, a slew of dubious characters have always been able to send out missives, including Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who once called on the social networking site to kill Israel. 

Twitter did not immediately answer a Wednesday afternoon request for comment.

You can't make this stuff up. The NY Post *still* has its account locked by Twitter for publishing a story about emails the Bidens themselves have never said are fake. Meanwhile, a Politico editor & MSNBC anchor retweet actual fake messages defaming *their* political opponents. https://t.co/dGFzySOdQf

Why Won't The Fake News Cover The Hunter Biden Story?

Up to now, the Democrats’ presidential nominee has gotten away with the fiction that he never talked to his son Hunter about Hunter’s suspect business dealings in Ukraine, China and elsewhere. The repeated claim was never credible, especially when it was revealed that Hunter flew on Air Force Two with his father to Beijing and came home with a $1.5 billion commitment from a Chinese bank for a new investment firm.

So they flew to China and back together and we’re supposed to believe the father never asked the son who he was seeing in China and why.

The Joe-knows-nothing defense has now been exposed as a lie by The Post’s publication of the e-mail from a Ukrainian adviser to Burisma, the energy firm that put Hunter on its board for up to $83,000 a month. In the e-mail, Vadym Pozharskyi thanked Hunter for setting up a meeting with then-Vice President Biden.

So Joe knew a lot and the public deserves the truth about what he did to help his son monetize the vice presidency. Still, my sense of where this story is going in the next few days is that the Ukraine angle will not be the main focus.

China will be. If the emerging pieces of the puzzle fit together as has been suggested, Americans will learn that the entire family was making money off Joe Biden’s prominence, including Joe himself, by making deals with elements of the Chinese government.
