D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser commissioned 16th Street N.W. near the White House to be painted with the words “Black Lives Matter,” and renamed the nearby street, “Black Lives Matter Plaza.” (Courtesy Photo)
As someone who travels in this part of town often, I say good riddance. 2020 in DC was a disaster. We were going through COVID, the city was burning and Mayor Bowser was too busy travelling to Delaware to celebrate Joe Biden’s victory. The term Black Lives Matter is a reminder of not only of the difficult time for not only DC, but for America. The organization was nothing but a scam. Black Lives were helped. The organizers were able to buy numerous homes! The rest of black America got nothing! Add to the fact that it divided Americans; black vs white to such a point most of us has never seen. This is exactly what the media wanted. Fortunately Black Lives Matter went the way of the hula hoop, MC Hammer pants and the mullet. We got enough going on. Do we really have time to fight our neighbors over a lie!?
Hunter Biden is having money problems. Apparently, no one wants to buy his art! Imagine that!? When the old man is out of office, nobody wants to buy a Hunter Biden “masterpiece.” I wonder why? Add to the fact, nobody is buying his autobiography. I’ll give you the skinny: born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Uses a different spoon for party favors. Hunter can’t afford the legal fees for the lawsuit against Garrett Ziegler, who Biden wants to sue for releasing the contents from the laptop from hell!
All I can say that it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
Radio legend Antony Cumia is preparing to make his return to terrestrial radio Sunday, March 9 on the biggest AM talk station, 77 WABC. Cumia has made a name for himself as a “shock jock” since the 1990’s with Gregg “Opie” Hughes and Jim Norton, broadcasting on WAAF in Boston and the legendary 102.7 WNEW in New York. Cumia and company had low brow humour and bits, many of which were sexual in nature. As years went on, Cumia was more vocal on his views on politics and race. In 2014, he was fired for tweeting his anger among a certain group of people and their behavior after he was attacked in the middle of the night in Times Square.
Since that incident in Times Square, Cumia has been even more open, honest and vocal on racial issues. In 2024 he appeared at the American Renaissance convention which has been (falsely) accused of being a white supremacist, white nationalist gathering. He laid out what is wrong with the radio industry.
Radio is going through some tough times. Podcasting is absolutely destroying the industry. Then; the corporations who own the stations will only syndicate their talent under contract. And the days of the “shock jock” has gone the way of the teletype from WINS. Add to the fact competition from everywhere and car companies are not installing radios with the AM dial!
Over the years, radio stations have been bought ought by conglomerates: CBS, Clearchannel (I heart radio) Cumulus, and a handful of others. The Station Managers, and Program Directors cant do what they want anymore. Andy Travis today would have to listen to the people who own WKRP to the letter. The talent could only stay between the lines of what they can talk about. One talent in DC I spoke to said he was never told what he could or could not say. It may be true, but he stays within his lane. Nothing about race issues, nothing sexual, nothing that will get someone fired. Years ago when a personality got fired, their colleagues would rally around them. Today; dead silence. This is for two reasons: first; the other personalities are too afraid to stick their necks out so they won’t get canned. The second reason is because they are trying to get that gig!
As for us, we have talked about g-strings, men using tampons, picking up women in nursing homes and accusing a politician of sexually abusing horses! And this was only in August!
Is Anthony Cumia the answer to saving talk radio? Probably not. But he is the shot in the arm that us in the industry desperately needs!
I used to work for the New York State Department of Correctional Services as a Correction Officer. I worked at the infamous Sing Sing prison as well as Bedford Hills. A maximum-security prison for women. To be honest, it was easier to deal with the most savage men that New York State locked up. It was a dangerous, disgusting, thankless job. I’ve seen more anal cavities than a proctologist. I’ve had to watch grown men go to the bathroom. I was also involved in a riot in B Block in Sing Sing one Sunday afternoon in April, 1996. The front gate had to call the off going shift to get back in and help us! Months later a brand new captain arrived at Sing Sing. He was in a passageway when inmates from A Block was returning from the yard to the housing unit. He was slashed. I know what you brave men and women go through. That’s why at the end of the show James Edwards says: “For those who work the streets and the jails, thanks for keeping us safe.” That’s my tribute to you. I’ve been there.
Fights, stabbings, getting “shit down,” contraband flowing faster than Amazon, the grievances against the CO’s and constant threats and insults against CO’s. Add to the fact that these people work nights, weekends, and holidays, missing their kids growing up and most end up divorced, its amazing that these people return to work. But they do.
Well they did. Members of the New York State Correction Officer Benevolent Association have went on strike. The CO’s went on strike because of unsafe working conditions and staff shortages. Nobody wants to take the job thanks to the war on cops, and those who do take the job, leave. You now have CO’s working literally 24 hours sometime because there’s no relief. Add to the fact the jails are much more dangerous because District Attorneys won’t convict inmates who assault officers. You can also thank Governor Kathy Hochul for running the jails into the ground. When I was a “turnkey” fortunately the Governor was George Pataki. The jails are currently secured by the New York National Guard.
Here’s my message to my former brothers and sisters on the thin gray line: get back to work! This is not “Robocop.” You swore an oath as Peace Officers to ensure the care, custody and control of these inmates. In those jails, not only are those crooks but the civilians that work in the jails. And yes, I know those civilians are the same ones that will drop dimes on you for anything and always take the side of the crook and hate you, but they are also under your protection. Forget the counselors, teachers, kitchen staff, medical people that make your jobs even harder. Think about the members of the New York State National Guard. They have been called up to walk the blocks! They are untrained and uninformed. Send these people home. Get back to work.
Well, if you’re a disgraced Democrat politician who had to leave office because you couldn’t behave, there’s only one thing for you to do: run for Mayor of New York City. Disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo is now running for mayor! I guess governor Nipples was taking a page from Anthony Weiner. Weiner had to step down from office after Gregg “Opie” Hughes and Anthony Cumia exposed Weiner’s weiner! Why is Cuomo running for mayor? Ego. Guys like Cuomo, Weiner, Terry McAuliffe, Mark Warner, Mitt Romney, and Tim Kaine have to feed their ego. You might also say Donald Trump too. But there are way too many stories about Trump helping people behind the scenes to include him. Cuomo was the Chief Executive of the Empire State during the COVID pandemic. He cooked the books, trashed Donald Trump about helping New York while a US Navy hospital ship sat empty in New York Harbor and wrote a book about himself in the middle of the pandemic! Imagine if Rudy Giuliani wrote a book during 9/11!?
