Come on, let's get real. It's questioning whether those deportations made sense and asking a vice president to explain his role in it. Do you think these questions will not come up later?" de Blasio said. "I was challenging Biden because I want to hear him say, 'Here's what I did,' 'Here's what I stand for,' because whoever is going to be the Democratic nominee has to be able to do that."

Keeping Up With the Kardashians In this clip from Keeping Up With the Kardashians' upcoming 17th season, Kim Kardashian finds herself getting anxious while preparing for the 2019 Met Gala. Despite having gone to the fashionable event several times before, Kanye West's wife feels the pressure as she's wearing custom Thierry Mugler. "This is probably as nerve-wracking as my wedding. I don't know why I get so nervous for the Met," Kim shares with her glam squad. "Just 'cause there's pictures from every single angle." Since the French designer hasn't designed for the label in almost 20 years, it's understandable that the KKW Beauty boss is eager to do the look justice. "It's a huge responsibility for me because he, I'm sure after not designing for 20 years, wants it to be something magical and special and new," the Kardashian-West matriarch notes in a confessional. "I just want it to be perfect....

Hunters Point South Ferry Destroyed Television Once again we had the ghetto vandals do more destruction in our Hunters Point South Park. I heard the smashing last night. I knew something was going on around 2:30 am. I wanted to call the 108th precinct, but I knew the odds were as always, they would not show. I have given up on the NYPD  here. They are nice guys, but we just can not get any enforcement on any of our complaints.  We all love our community We have problems. Graffiti almost every single night is plastered everywhere. They turn over the flower pots, they smash bottles and they destroy park benches. I spent so much time calling the Parks Police and the 108th precinct the first two years only to wait for a response and then nothing. So I just gave up.  At night they come down here with gigantic bongs and smoke their weed and they drink like fish. Not the cheep alcohol either, not like when we were growing up and drinking Budweiser, they drink ...
