CNN spent weeks hyping Saturday’s star-studded "We Love New York: The Homecoming Concert," which it planned to broadcast from New York City’s Central Park.
The event was supposed to celebrate the city’s reopening after coronavirus shutdowns.
Instead, performances by the night’s biggest names – including Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen and others – were canceled as rain and dangerous lightning ahead of the approaching Hurricane Henri prompted the concert’s organizers to interrupt, and later end, the show.

Amidst the barbarity and humiliation of the Afghanistan collapse, and the corrosion of our Republic, it's hard to resist recalling Longfellow's words here, adapted to the song "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day":
. . . . in despair I bowed my head:
“There is no peace on earth,” I said,
“For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.”
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men.”

Are democrats blinded to their hypocrisy, or is their propaganda theater moving forward regardless?
It is dangerous to eat at a restaurant in New York City, but you can cram thousands into a small space, because celebrities and a narrative are involved?!
Come on man!

As a west coaster traveling to east coast this week I find G-d very much alive and all I’ve met to be wonderful like minded adults who understand the media is lieing. G-d will not be mocked. Keep praying my friends

I cannot imagine the depths to which NYC has sunk after Rudolph Giuliani resurrected the city in the 90s after the disaster of Dinkins. It seems that New Yorkers just can't get enough squalor. . What else explains the zombie voters who keep returning people like Cuomo and di Blasio to office.

New York is a disaster, no matter how you look at it. Too bad it's not in Kalifornia. It would fit right in there.

The Northeast States see this hurricane as another opportunity to raid the Federal Treasury by declaring states of emergency.

New York is not coming back and neither is their tourism income - I don't care now much feel-good propaganda the libs throw our way. Nice try though.

I will always remember what the True King of Late Night the Great Johnny Carson said in his monologue after the 1991 earthquake.
"The God is dead rally has been cancelled."

14 is correct. NYC tourism has been mostly ruined. It might be fixed in the next two decades if the City threw out the communists but that’s not going to happen.

The only thing that might have made it better would have been if lightning hit marble mouth springsteen in the @ss.

A vainglorious bit of pomp washed away by an outlier band of rain from hurricane Henri. Compare the Trump rally pictures in a nearby post here https://www.lucianne.com/2021/08/22/trumps_alabama_rally_gave_us_a_powerful_phrase_for_the_ages_67101.html
