New York State

For the New York U.S. Senate Seat, Incumbent Charles Schumer appears to have defeated Republican Jay Townsend with 65% of the votes to 33%. These reports only include 84% of reported votes, but are enough to project Schumer as the winner. Schumer won in all counties except for Hamilton, Wyoming, Allegany, and Tioga.

For the other New York Senate race, Incumbent Kirsten Gillibrand held onto her seat which was originally Hillary Clinton’s. Gillibrand defeated DioGuardi with 61% of the votes to 37%.

For the New York Governor’s race, recent polls had shown Democrat Andrew Cuomo leading Republican Carl Paladino with 58% of the votes to 33%. It turns out that these polls were pretty accurate as well. With 86% of votes reported, Cuomo is leading Paladino with 62% of the votes to Paladino’s 34%.

It appears as though the Democrats took the 3 major elections in New York State.

The Millionaire Matchmaker has grabbed fans’ attention by hooking up millionaire singles with potential romantic partners. Patti Stanger, the CEO of “Millionaire’s Club” Looks to continue the show’s success for yet another season.

Last week on the season premiere, Patti Stanger focused on the season’s first two clients. They were a man named Derek Tabacco, and a 26-year-old millionaire heiress named Bryce Gruber.

It will be Patti Stanger’s job to try and find girls for them. Will she succeed? If she does, then Caroline Manzo has agreed to teach her “the secret of her sauce”.

Stay tuned, and find out if Stanger succeeds tomorrow night on Bravo TV.

Jimmy McMillan

Although it is with almost certainty that Jimmy McMillan will not even come close to winning the race for New York’s Governor, he holds the views of the lower to middle class people in New York. In listening to some of McMillan’s quotes, you can tell that he is either ignorant, or just really funny.

When asked what thought of New York State’s huge deficit, he stated, “It is like a cancer. It will heal itself.”

The 64-year-old spent a couple years in the Vietnam War, and has worked as a postal employee in the past. He has 3 Bronze Stars for his time spent in Vietnam. He has run for Mayor of New York City previously (in 2005 & 2009). Both times he received well less than 1 percent of the vote.

During last nights debate, when McMillan was asked about his opinion on gay marriage, after there has been a lot of talk about Carl Paladino being so opposed to it, McMillan said, “The Rent Is Too Damn High Party believes that if you want to marry a shoe, I’ll marry you.”

Jimmy McMillan is also known by many as “Papa Smurf” for his 18th century facial hair.

When all was said and done at last nights debate, it appeared as though Andrew Cuomo and Carl Paladino will remain each others only competition from now until the November 2 elections. Cuomo still holds a considerably large lead over Paladino in the polls.

Check out the Highlights of Jimmy McMillan from the “Rent Is Too Damn High” party last night:

UFO Seen in NYC

The recent UFO sighting in New York City came around the same time UFOs were seen in China, around one of their major airports. There were literally hundreds, if not thousands of people that saw the strange looking object in the skies in NYC. Most of them could not come up with any possible explanation for the unusual looking shape.

However, now teachers at an elementary school in Mount Vernon, New York say that they believe they may know what the UFO really was. The founder of Milestone School in Mt. Vernon, Angela Freeman believes that the UFO sighting was nothing more than 4 dozen helium filled balloons that had accidentally been released by the school.

Could this really be what all those New Yorkers saw? Just simple everyday helium balloons? Some “UFO experts” believe it very well could be.

Jason Rollin from Brooklyn, New York saw the UFO over Manhattan. When asked if it could have been balloons, he said, “Absolutely not! Balloons don’t move faster than airplanes, no matter how strong the wind currents are. Anyone that saw the UFO could easily tell that they were not simply helium balloons floating slowly into the sky.”

So was the UFO really balloons or was it an aircraft from outer space? We probably won’t ever know for sure.

Did huge explosions cause WTC collapse?

PrisonPlanet.com, believes that this is new evidence that explosive devices may have been placed inside of the World Trade Center, which were what caused the twin towers to ultimately come down.

While looking at the video, and listening to the firefighters speak, this only provides eyewitness accounts that other explosions did occur inside of the buildings. However, there is nothing that points to any explosive devices being the culprit. A building as large as the World Trade Center is sure to have many electronic machines ranging from the elevator system to the fax machines in offices. A simple electrical fire could have caused mini explosions. Firefighters hear explosions very frequently when inside burning buildings. Does that mean that there are explosive devices inside those buildings? Absolutely Not!

If you listen carefully, one firefighter suggests that there were several explosions that caused the lobby of the Trade Center to collapse. However, it is virtually impossible for someone to determine if an explosion is what caused the collapse, unless they were directly next to that explosion. If that were the case, that firefighter would not have been alive to provide this interview. Many other factors could have caused the collapse, such as intense heat.

There simply is no evidence here that there were huge explosions caused by explosive devices. There is also no evidence that huge explosions caused the buildings to collapse (Other than the planes hitting them).

Conspiracy Theory? Perhaps.

What’s your opinion? Do you think there were other explosive devices in in the World Trade Center, leading to the collapse of the twin towers, or do you believe it’s just a conspiracy theory?

Christine O'Donnell Wins Delaware Primary

Elsewhere, fellow tea partier, Carl Paladino, won the New York state election for Governor, over Rick Lazio, a former New York congressman. Lazio had led Paladino by as many as 30 points at one point earlier in the year. This batch of primary elections was the last before the much anticipated November general elections.

Yesterday’s news may not be all that great though for the Republican party. Polls indicated that Mike Castle would have put on a close race against his Democratic counterpart in Chris Coons, however, the winner, O’Donnell seems to be lagging behind Coons in early polls.
