WEEK 044 / 073 — The Son of Queens
APRIL 12–18, 2016. THE WAR RETURNS TO THE HOMELAND. SEVEN DAYS FROM BUFFALO TO STATEN ISLAND, THE SON OF QUEENS RIDES HIS OWN STREETS.
“I LOVE NEW YORK! #NewYorkValues”
“Lyin’ Ted Cruz even voted against Superstorm Sandy aid and September 11th help. So many New Yorkers devastated. Cruz hates New York!”
“Crooked Hillary Clinton is spending a fortune on ads against me. I am the one person she doesn't want to run against. Will be such fun!”
“I would have millions of votes more than Hillary except for the fact that I had 17 opponents and she just had a socialist named Bernie!”
Thank you for today's endorsement, New York Veteran Police Association! #NewYorkValues
THE CITY'S POLICE VETERANS PLEDGE THEIR BANNER. TOMORROW THE FIVE BOROUGHS GO TO THE POLLS — AND HE WAITS BENEATH HIS TOWER FOR THE COUNT.

This week in the saga
The war comes home. For seven days he storms his own state, from Buffalo to Staten Island, turning the courtier's old sneer at the city's values into a blade against its author — Sandy, September 11th, a ledger of grievances read aloud. And in the morning light of a Sunday phone, the final enemy at last receives her brand: Crooked Hillary. On the eve of the vote, the city's police veterans salute beneath the tower.
