Lonsberry: DUMB AND DUMBER, STARRING MALIK AND DAVE

4 weeks ago | wham1180.iheart.com | Bob Lonsberry

The city of Rochester is FUBARed. Today, stuttering behind a lectern, the mayor condemned a handful of city cops for backing up law enforcement officers who called for help. It was Malik at his worst, it was progressivism at its most disgusting. In a city where the murder of a legal immigrant hasn’t elicited a response from City Hall or the Sixth Floor, the mayor and the chief have taken some 10 cops off the street because of the handcuffing of two illegal immigrants.
Lonsberry: PENFIELD SCHOOL BOARD IS WRONG ABOUT DECENCY AND DEMOCRACY

2 months ago | wham1180.iheart.com | Bob Lonsberry

Last night, in a self-righteous fit, the Penfield school board stormed out. The room was packed, parents were pissed, and the board was having none of it. And so, after snottily informing the audience that this was the board’s meeting and that the public’s presence was disruptive, the president called for a motion to adjourn and after a few mumbled words of parliamentary procedure the board en masse stood up and walked out.
Lonsberry: THE STORY OF MY THURSDAY RUN

2 months ago | wham1180.iheart.com | Bob Lonsberry

I had intended to run down South Avenue, maybe to Elmwood, and come back through Mount Hope, cross the Ford Street Bridge and head back on Exchange and then Broad. But on the corner of MLK, across from the ESL building, I heard the screaming of the sirens. It was chiefs’ trucks, SUVs, from the fire department. You can tell by the sound.
Lonsberry: WE ARE THE REASON FOR THE DIVISION

Oct 15, 2024 | wham1180.iheart.com | Bob Lonsberry

The politicians have always been snakes and the reporters have always been liars. What’s changed is us. As America sits ripped down the middle by politics, as partisanship has become the idol we all worship, the fault is our own. They – the press and the pols – are what they have always been. It is we who are at fault.
Lonsberry: FIRE ONONDAGA ELECTIONS COMMISSIONERS

Oct 8, 2024 | wham1180.iheart.com | Bob Lonsberry

Fire them both. Onondaga County elections commissioners Dustin Czarny and Michele Sardo have failed in the most fundamental aspects of their jobs and have, according to a warning issued by the state, threatened the integrity of the looming election.
Lonsberry: DEMOCRATS KILLED WEST MAIN WALGREENS

Sep 24, 2024 | wham1180.iheart.com | Bob Lonsberry

It’s not corporate racism that’s closing the West Main Street Walgreens, it’s Democrat stupidity. As the mayor cries about “disinvestment,” the neighborhood association complains of abandonment, and the online progressives denounce institutional racism, the Walgreens is going to close because it has been killed by the political party to which all these people swear allegiance.
Lonsberry: ISRAELI PAGER ATTACK WAS BRILLIANT

Sep 18, 2024 | wham1180.iheart.com | Bob Lonsberry

The Israeli pager attack on Hezbollah may be one of the most successful and elegant acts of warfare in the history of man. In a moment, across Lebanon, some 4,000 terrorist fighters were disabled by individual kinetic devices with no disruption to the infrastructure or economy and with minimal impact on non-combatants. It was brilliant. Not since the Battle of Midway has such a combination of excellent intelligence and tactical capability been deployed on the battlefield.
WE LOVE YOU BACK, TOM

Sep 17, 2024 | wham1180.iheart.com | Bob Lonsberry

We love you back, Tom. We love you back. This is to and about Tom Golisano, who just gave more than a third of a billion dollars to some four score charities and non-profits stretching across a broad swath of central and western New York. The man who has been the region’s largest benefactor for a generation has decided at this season of his life to more than double all he has ever given and lay it on the table for the public good.
Lonsberry: THE STORY OF TAMIKA WHO LIVES IN A TENT

Sep 1, 2024 | wham1180.iheart.com | Bob Lonsberry

I met Tamika when she lived on a bench on Main Street across from the convention center. This was when the homelessness was just starting to take off. Tamika lived on the bench and another lady lived on the grate into the driveway to the derelict hotel by the river. Tamika would talk but she would never accept food and the lady on the grate would never talk but if I ran by the Pizza Stop on State Street and got two slices she would eat one.
LONABERRY: PRESS AND PROTESTS SHOULD CHALLENGE DEMS ON CRIME REFORMS

Aug 25, 2024 | wham1180.iheart.com | Bob Lonsberry

When you call the police, they come. But now the police have called us, and we should come. On Friday, in the lobby of the Public Safety Building, Chief Dave Smith of the Rochester Police Department lingered somewhere between rage and heartbreak, thundering in exasperation and emotional fatigue about one more crime and one more death and one more illustration of the fact the laws and lawmakers of the state of New York are on the side of the criminals.
