Where is The Caption From The Daily News Front Page That Reads “BIDEN TO NEW YORK, DROP DEAD"

 

You Should Know that in 1975, New York City was facing the worst economic crisis in New York’s History.

Then Mayor Abe Beame, Governor Hugh Carey and every New York elected city official were so desperate to prevent the city from going into Bankruptcy, they reached out to the White House and to the Republican President the Honorable President Gerald Ford.

On October 29, 1975, President Gerald Ford delivered a public speech where he denied New York’s request for federal assistance.   New York was on the brink of bankruptcy, but the cry for economic help was denied.

It is important for you to know that the day after The Republican President Gerald Ford delivered his speech, The story made it to the Front Page of the Daily News, with a scathing headline that read “FORD TO NEW YORK, DROP DEAD.” 

You should know that President Ford never uttered these words, “New York Drop Dead”.  But the New York Daily News didn’t hesitate to print this on their front pages, and this is what its readers, the entire city, and the nation read, and believed.

As a result, President Ford faced tremendous backlash; a firestorm ensued impeding his reelection bid.   He was never ever to live down the misleading Front Page of the Daily News.  

It’s a new dawn, and history is repeating itself.  New York City again is facing an economic crisis, created in part by the Democrat Administration under President Joe Biden, and his open border policies.  This has enormously increased the number of illegal migrants entering New York City.   This huge influx of migrants has placed an immense burden on the city, straining its social services resources, in Housing, Education, Financial Assistance, Medical and Hospitalization and the list goes on.

The Mayor of the City of New York, who is a Democrat same as President Biden also a Democrat, and his administration predominately all Democrats, New York elected officials also all Democrats, have been crying out to The White House requesting that President Joe Biden intervene and help New York with this Economic Crisis, and help prevent New York City from further economic devastation and imminent bankruptcy. 

As of today, my dear Readers, I have noticed two important things that are happening, and no one is commenting on them.

The first one is that President Joe Biden, a Democrat, has spoken and has publicly refused to heed Mayor Adams' call for help.   Especially when the mayor is having to deal with the additional strain brought about by the immigration crisis, which was not created by the mayor’s administration, but by the policies of the United States President Joe Biden, and in response he turns his back on New York City. 

My second observation is how silent the New York Daily News has been on this issue.   I haven’t seen this story make the Front Pages of the Daily News. 

In 1975 the New York Daily News announced to the World that President Ford told New York to “DROP DEAD”, again I remind you that those words were never uttered by the Republican President Gerald Ford, yet that’s the News we got. Now that President Biden has taken the very same stance toward New York by, obviously, not heeding to the mayor’s cry for federal help, well surprise, surprise there is no Front-Page Caption from the Daily News that should read “Biden to New York Drop Dead.”
