Wars, plagues, influenza — nothing stopped us before. The Democrats are hellbent on removing every joy from our lives so that everyone is as miserable and tortured as they are.
No Crowd for New Year’s Eve Ball Drop in Times Square for 1st Time Since 1907
The huge ball made of Waterford crystal that drops at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve will still fall toward Times Square, but for the first time since 1907, no one will be there in person to witness it because of the coronavirus restrictions in New York City.
The New York City Patch website reported on the revised celebration:
Organizers announced in September that Times Square would be closed to the public during the event, marking the first time since its inception in 1907 that throngs of people would not gather in Midtown. The drop was suspended in 1942 and 1943 during World War II, but crowds still gathered in Times Square and marked the new year with a minute of silence, according to the Times Square website.
A live telecast, “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2021,” will air live from Times Square on ABC, starting 8 p.m. Eastern. Times Square will also host a commercial-free webcast on its website starting 6 p.m. Eastern.
Jennifer Lopez will be the headline performer, along with other stars including Billy Porter, Cyndi Lauper and Jimmie Allen.
The Times Square website also announced what this year’s celebration will look like:
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, NYE 2021 will NOT be open to the public this year — but there will be live performances, and we hope all of you will enjoy the virtual celebrations safely from the comfort of your own home. New Year’s Eve 2021 might look a little different than usual, but one thing that will never change is the ticking of time and the arrival of a New Year at midnight on December 31st. Celebrate with us virtually in an enhanced celebration that will bring Times Square and the Ball Drop to you no matter where you are.
Jamestown, the owner of One Times Square, has created a first-of-its-kind virtual New Year’s Eve experience. Everyone everywhere can start the festivities today and enter a virtual world of Time Square filled with games, music, and art. Then, on December 31st, viewers can tune in for a live broadcast where they can choose from multiple camera feeds to direct their own New Year’s Eve show. Plus, viewers will also get a chance to see other celebrations from around the globe, and hear messages from local leaders and people from dozens of cities from around the world.
Ironically, in an era when businesses in the city are struggling to survive because of the coronavirus lockdown, the cost of the crystal ball seems significant. The 6sqft website reported the cost of the ball is more than $1 million.
The website also revealed that the ball weighs 11,875 pounds, contains 32,256 LED lights, and is made up of 2,688 Waterford crystals.

What do you want bet Governor Newscum out of Californication and Governor Cuomo will be partying it up on NYE? After all, they’re the master class and rules are only for the peasants who supposedly elected them (although increasingly that is in doubt as far as Commiecrats are concerned).
Notice how government employees are considered “essential”. Certain large box stores are considered “essential” but small and medium stores must remain closed to “protect us”. Notice how large stores contribute allot to their campaigns and small and medium stores can’t do that. What large store wouldn’t like that – knock out the competition!
They got elected..At least in New York, cause there they always vote and revote the same crappy politicians over and over again for years. I’m truly surprised Giuliani was re-elected

I’ve got a strong feeling that patriots are going to throng to public hangings if we can get them approved for “Election Fraud” and “Treason”. I want to see the RINOs hung first, starting with Mitch McConnell.
There are so many of these filthy cheats and traitors, that there could be dozens of hangings every weekend, all year long. That might help to clear up some of the water in the swamp.
Well, a guy can dream good things for his nation, right?
I’d like to see it all on NewsMax.

Tax payer money is no object when you are drunk with power and no resistance to speak of of. They bully us around. If there was massive civil disobedience they would back down..

Perhaps if they painted BLM Graffiti on 42nd Street and waved BLM Flags and the Hammer and Cycle Red Flag, then maybe the crowds will be allowed, as we all know, and have seen, that followers of these two movements can gather and they dont get infected because they are somehow connected…But if Trump supporters were to be seen, or heard, in Times Square then DeBlasio and Cuomo just couldnt handle that.
