“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it”-Ronald Reagan
Chairman Long to appear on Inside City Hall on NY1 tonight at 7:00 PM (repeated at 10:pm). Check your local listings for channel listings.
Some Charter Schools are affiliated with the UFT – The United Federation of Teachers (one in ten) and these are the schools that are having problems, but Mayor de Blasio does not want you to know that fact.
Apparently, Mayor de Blasio didn’t want you to know he is supporting the City Council pay raise either.
Sometimes Mayor de Blasio stumbles upon the truth…and his statement that a new Rikers’ Island prison would be too expensive is certainly in that category. However, taxpayers, how many times has the Mayor told us that and then went ahead with a “lofty” ideal.
Will President Obama and the rest of the democrats be hoisted by their own petard?
Hillary wanted a realtime fact checking method to check republican stated facts … how about this Hillary: a fact check on your Justice Scalia tweets. Will you withdraw your request now that your facts have been checked?
Former Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey does not think the president deserves an EZ pass on replacing Justice Scalia. Ms. McCaughey reminds the democrats of how many times they wanted to sabotage a vote due to politics and how they now demand no politics. Good for her for pointing out the inconstitencies. Rich Lowry opines on the same subject here.
This article gives us three big cases the US Supreme Court still has to decide.
Before his untimely death, Justice Scalia and the US Supreme Court upheld science, not President Obama’s wishes.
Brooklyn, NY — Justice Antonin Scalia appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986 used his wisdom to guide America as our Founding Fathers outlined in the greatest constitution the world has ever known.
His wisdom and wit will be sorely missed. The world has lost a man who truly understood and fought for the American Dream for every American and every person who sought to be American.
We will continue to fight the good fight with the wise decisions he has left us.
Thank you Justice Antonin Scalia, we will carry on, now rest in peace.
“Things can’t get any worse” seems to be the defining theme for the “outsider” candidates in the 2016 presidential race. Charles Krauthammer assures us that, yes, things can get much worse – especially if America is allowed to sink into socialism and strong-arm totalitarianism.
Meanwhile, as the race continues – can things get worse for Hillary Clinton? Yes, they can – Investor’s Business Daily explains why.
In their debate this week, the Democrats painted a dire picture of America – one where hope and opportunity are all but lost. Now remind me – who’s been in the White House the past seven years?
Even the liberal PBS moderators were getting fed up with the Democrats’ left-wing spectacle.
Hillary was not asked about the latest Clinton Foundation bombshell – not a surprise, since one of the debate moderators is a Clinton Foundation donor.
It’s telling that the media, which predicts doom-and-gloom when even moderately conservative ideas are proposed, don’t see anything concerning about Bernie Sanders-style socialism.
Sanders can win all he wants, but the truth is it might not matter – the Democratic Party’s primary system is far from democratic.
Do you think that the Democratic primary is rigged for Hillary, no matter what liberal voters want? Vote today in our new Weekly Poll.
On the GOP side, “We’re starting nearly at scratch when it comes to knowing what’s happening in the South Carolina Republican presidential race.” That’s according to Byron York, writing in the Washington Examiner.
Carly Fiorina suspended her presidential campaign this week, and I for one will miss having her on the campaign trail – I agree with the Washington Examiner that her anti-cronyism message was outstanding.
Chris Christie left the race this week, too – and I know some people will miss his brash, “tell it like it is” campaign style.
Of all the candidates who have dropped out of the Republican presidential race, who do you miss the most? I’m very interested to see the results of this Weekly Poll question.
Monday is President’s Day – here is a look at the history of the holiday, and the White House website has biographical information on all of America’s Commanders-in-Chief.
In the spirit of this holiday, here’s this week’s final Poll question: Who is your favorite President from the past 100 years?
This takes us all the way back to Woodrow Wilson, and includes some interesting names to think about: Coolidge and Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower, all the way through Reagan, two Bush administrations and of course, Barack Obama.
What is the Speaker thinking? Why would anyone want to send the message that breaking the law, even if considered “low-level” is good policy? Patrick Lynch is absolutely correct when he stated that “Lack of enforcement of quality-of-life laws endangers the health and welfare of everyone and makes the city a less attractive place to live, work or visit.” We would add that ignoring the “low-level” infractions dilutes the seriousness of other infractions.
How can anyone send their child to public school in New York City — especially when at one time not that long ago the New York City public education system was one of the best in our nation. The NY Post Editorial Board is very clear on how to help students, something that Governor Andrew Cuomo seems to have abandoned for the support of the Teacher’s Union. This Politico article wants to give some hope that things might change, however, as long as the NYS Assembly under the control of NYC democrats, continues to be the majority voting bloc, I have little hope that the interview process discussed is little more than show for the parents who care.
Sen. Sanders, fresh off his 20 percentage points win in New Hampshire over Hillary, met with the Rev. Al Sharpton this morning. The crowd loves him, but we wonder how many are veterans. In another article in the NY Post, former Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey, points out the fact, they while he campaigns as a champion of veterans, as chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, Sanders sabotaged VA reform, to protect unions.
Hillary, obviously isn’t the only democratic candidate with a trust problem. In her desperation, trust isn’t her only problem. According to her avid supporters there is a special place in Dante’s inferno for women who do not blindly vote for her because she is a woman. Michael Goodwin opines on the bigger message this sends in today’s paper.
Hillary’s staff, according to this article, “blackmailed” reporters. Wow, imagine that. A reporter wanted the story so badly, he did what Hillary’s staff wanted. The staff was wrong and the reporter was also! The reporters that I know, would have told them to “whistle Dixie” and maintained the integrity of the profession. Readers of news articles must trust that the article is unbiased, when they want opinion, they go to the opinion page. Or if they really want to know what a candidate says, they go to (or watch) the debates, town hall meetings or visit their campaign offices.
