“I really do hope there is a trial in this case so New Yorkers can see, in gory detail, what their state government has been up to,” said U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara as he announced massive corruption charges against Andrew Cuomo’s top aides and allies. 

I couldn’t agree more – Cuomo’s SolarCity “monument to corruption” needs to be completely exposed for the rotten-to-the-core enterprise it is. Cuomo vowed to clean up Albany – but in reality, his cronies have made out like bandits. 

What do you think will be the end result of these charges – plea bargains, actual trials… or do you think Cuomo’s cronies will get off scot-free? That’s the first question in our new Weekly Poll. 

Cuomo himself hasn’t been charged, but he’d have to have his head in the sand or just be dangerously naïve to not know what his closest associates were up to. What’s your take – do you think Cuomo is ultimately responsible for all the corruption surrounding him in Albany? 
That’s the second question in our Weekly Poll. 

And finally, what do you think is the BEST way to start ridding Albany of this endless corruption?  Do we need a new Governor? Term limits? More investigations? Do you think Albany can police itself? Let me know in the third and final question of this week’s Poll. 

These are corrupt times we’re living in – here in New York and of course in Washington. 

We have a President who is dead set on exploiting our badly broken immigration system to bring in people who will be Democratic voters, not Americans, first. 

We have public officials who are too obsessed with political correctness (and hatred of Donald Trump) to take meaningful steps to keep people safe. 

We have a President too blinded by ideology to see the terrorist threats facing America.

And of course we have Hillary Clinton, who is embroiled in endless scandal.

I’m looking forward to seeing Donald Trump raise these issues in next week’s presidential debate. Here is a “cheat sheet” from Rich Lowry – and I’m sure next week’s poll questions will focus on each candidate’s performance and the overall impact of this showdown. 

Have a great weekend!

The closer President Obama gets to November 8 and the end of his administration, the more radical he is becoming:  Obama Admin Seeks Pathway for Future ‘Ransom Payments’ to Iran

Sen. Ted Cruz speaks up for keeping Internet under USA control; Donald J. Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz agree that the U.S. should not turn control of the Internet over to the United Nations and the international community.

Not one republican voted for Obamacare and yet the democrats are asking for their help.  What are they thinking?  Obamacare is bent on destroying our economy and they ask republicans to help?  The sad reality is they some may give in.  Let them know you are opposed to any bailout of Obamacare. 

The Daily Signal lets us know that every immigrant without a high school diploma cost taxpayers $640,000.  Then the Washington Times lets us know that DHS (Department of Homeland Security) admits that refuge fraud is easy to commit.  Newsmax tells us that pension funds are facing a $1.9 trillion shortfall due to lagging investment fund returns.   Is it any wonder Americans are looking to elect an outsider —  someone to take a fresh look at all the problems we are facing.

The Federalist says toss the personalities and judge the candidates on these three things.  Peter Morici opines that the election is a choice between confidence in America and a dreary pessimism. 

White House weighs in on Charlotte unrest: Protesters have ‘legitimate’ complaints.  I can’t believe that Mr. Earnest said the president wants authorities to ensure the safety of protesters.  Safety of protesters?  What about the safety of everyone else?  Are protesters allowed to destroy stores?  Personally,  I think Hillary called the wrong group “deplorable.”

Do parents actually have to pay this University?  It is treating students as if they were still in kindergarten.

Wednesday’s with Walter E. Williams.

A group advocating the rights of veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan are on the Hill this week to press lawmakers on issues ranging from disability care to high rates of unemployment.

Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, the largest organization for veterans of the wars, will host a series of events as a part of their Storm the Hill campaign this week, culminating in Thursday’s release of their legislative agenda for 2010.

Top priorities include improving the claims processing system for disabled veterans, addressing the suicide epidemic among service members and improving the Veterans Affairs Department’s health care services for women.

This is the fifth annual trip for the group, which was founded in 2004. Starting Monday, the veterans will form teams named for the military alphabet — Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc. — and will meet with more than 100 lawmakers to discuss their issues.

The veterans were originally scheduled to meet with Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.), a Marine veteran of the Vietnam War, who died Monday.

The NY Post editorial gives Gov. Andrew Cuomo kudos for calling Sunday’s bombing exactly what it was.   “A bomb exploding in New York is obviously an act of terrorism,” said the Governor, unlike others.  We also agree with the last sentence in the editorial, “We have our differences with Gov. Cuomo — but, boy, do his fellow Democrats make him look good.” 

Hillary, on the other hand, is rightfully excoriated by Rich Lowry.  

Brietbart covered Wendy Long’s statement issued yesterday.

President Obama is so out of touch with reality!  Our Commander-in-Chief called the bombings a “Narrative” fight with ISIS.  What is even more disconcerting is that Hillary thinks like him.  Conrad Black opines in the New York Sun how Hillary Clinton may snatch defeat from victory’s jaws. 

In his final presentation as President, Obama disses America 11 times!  And lectures us about refugees. 

How is that Syrian cease-fire doing Secretary Kerry? 

The Daily Signal reminds everyone that the weekend attacks across America shows need for renewed vigilance.  Mayor deBlasio calls for more Muslim migrants….maybe he is looking to cash in with George Soro’s money. 

Is there a “smoking-gun” in the Hillary email deletions of email?

The Daily Signal has more on President Obama’s plan to give away the internet. 

Tuesday’s with Thomas Sowell….Our Political Predicament. As usual, an excellent column.  

President Obama did not address the nation when NYC and New Jersey were bombed Saturday, nor did he say anything on Sunday, but had no trouble being in campaign mode.   It took him until Noon on Monday to acknowledge that “terrorist want to instill fear in American’s.”   The hard work of police and the watchful eye of a business owner made it possible to catch the suspect.  We now know that New York was notified of a possible attack prior to the actual bombing.

Leave it to Gov. Andrew Cuomo to defend President Obama’s silence.  (Less time for you in the spotlight, Andrew?)

Today we also learned that more than 800 illegal immigrants from countries of concern who were set for deportation were granted citizenship!!  Perhaps President Obama didn’t want to address the nation about the bombings knowing this.  Or maybe he was afraid that the Administration’s money laundering would be revealed on national television, how foolish of me to think that the main stream media would expose his rather foolhardy foibles.    I know this much, Ronald Reagan would have talked to American citizens as soon as possible to reassure us that he “had our back.”  Of course, with a Peace through Strength attitude, it wouldn’t have happened.  

Hugh Hewitt on the New Sunday mornings.

Wendy Long: Political Correctness is Killing Us

President Obama’s arrogant audacity actually led him to say this to the Congressional Black Caucus on Friday evening. To which I say — What have you done for the Black community, Mr. President, except make race relations worse, keep people in poverty, gave them “affordable” health care they can’t afford and have done NOTHING to bring the murder rate in Chicago down.   In all honesty, Mr. President, the Black community owe you nothing.

Is Hillary getting nervous about keeping NYS in her column?  A third office was opened in Westchester. 

Schneiderman may be in legal trouble for keeping documents from congress. 

Monday’s with Robert Knight.

“The best evidence that Hillary Clinton is lying about her health is that Hillary Clinton is lying about everything.”  That pretty much sums up the news this week, after Hillary’s frightening health scare during a 9/11 ceremony.

Could Hillary’s health lead to Bill Clinton’s third term? History tells us it could happen.

Her health may be failing, but Hillary’s lying instinct is as strong as ever.

This whole incident is one more reinforcement of Hillary’s reputation for dishonesty – though there was more than enough proof of that to begin with.

So what do you think is the real story behind Hillary’s bout with heat exhaustion/ dehydration/pneumonia/the flu?

Do you think the situation is WORSE than Hillary & Co. are letting on? Do you think they’re telling the truth? Or is this incident not a big deal, as far as you’re concerned?

That’s the first question in our new Weekly Poll.

I’m also wondering, how important is it to you for the President of the United States to be in good health?  That’s the second Poll question for this week.

Meanwhile Hillary’s campaign looks like it has seen better days – “nothing short of a disaster,” according to one report.

 As a clear path to victory has emerged for Donald Trump, the Clinton campaign is facing sagging poll numbers, tight races in key swing states, and faltering support among young voters, as well as ongoing questions about Hillary’s corruption and incompetence.

How would you diagnose the “health” of Hillary’s campaign? That’s the third question in this week’s Poll – I look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Have a great weekend!

New York Times:  Poll shows tight race for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.  You know Hillary is in real trouble when the NY Times has an article on how tight the race has become.  MSNBC is frenetic with this headline:  New polls serve as a wake-up call: Trump could win presidency. CNN tries to undermine the numbers, but facts do not lie: Trump is on the upswing and Hillary’s constant lies, damage-control, comments and secrecy are taking their toll.   Yesterday’s Michael Goodwin column is a must read. 

Betsy McCaughey opines on how to break the teacher protection racket. 

File this under:  Governor Andrew Cuomo is stalling...the question is why?

Governor Cuomo:  Five years in office and Syracuse, Buffalo and Rochester are among the NATIONS poorest cities.  They need jobs and a governor that makes New York business friendly by elimination the burdens on businesses instead of phony START-UP NY policies. Here is an analysis by the Empire Center on the August Jobs report. 

Here is a very strong reason to vote for our US Senate Candidate Wendy Long.  If Sen.

Hillary let a campaign operative override Secret Service protocol to avoid going to an emergency room on Sunday.  Yes, you read that right, a campaign operative was directing where Hillary went.  The Washington Times writes about the concerns many democrats have about the Clinton instinct to conceal, and Rich Lowry opines on how the Clinton’s lies vindicate the Hillary haters.

Everyday Americans reject Hillary’s “basket of deplorable” label.  Here is Cal Thomas’s take on The Deplorables. 

What is going on at the Department of State?  Hillary used her influence to help the Clinton Foundation (and her family) and now the Daily Caller is reporting that John Kerry funneled millions to his daughter’s nonprofit.

Marc A. Thiessen opines in the Washington Post that Bill Clinton’s terrorism strategy led to 9/11. Hillary Clinton’s is the exact same thing.

Voter fraud is a concern, but letting the federal government oversee elections is a bigger concern.  The Daily Signal has a simple 3-step approach to defend voter ID laws.

Tuesday’s with Thomas Sowell.

We will be back on Thursday. 

Welcome to the political world of Hillary, where it is permissible to insult thousands of people as being in a basket of deplorables, but, you cannot question her without being vilified for doing so.  Of course, Hillary did try to walk it by saying maybe “half” was wrong.  Hillary does have a long history of doing her best to destroy her (and Bill’s) enemies.  The Hill writes The media elites feel that shiver up the spine — and it’s not victory.  Fredric U. Dicker writes that Clinton’s ‘basket of deplorables’ gaffe stuns both parties.  

Hillary damaged herself on Friday by using a broad brush to paint Trump supporters as a “basket of deplorables”, which was minor compared to the video of her leaving the 911 Memorial early. As noted in many organizations — The Washington Post, The Washington Times, The NY Post, Fox News, TownHall — to name just a few, Hillary’s health problems are no longer what her campaign called a right-wing conspiracy .

Townhall.com writes about Donald J. Trump’s attendance at our 2016 reception.  So does Real Clear Politics.  While not believing Trump can win in New York, the New York Magazine gave him and us some ink.  (It will be interesting to see what he writes when Trump carries New York State.) 

Michael Barron wrote this for Saturday’s papers, before Hillary’s problems surfaced. 

The Conservative Party is truly concerned about Hillary’s health and the video that showed her not feeling well is quite disconcerting — obviously we do not support Hillary for president — however, we do sincerely hope that her health problems are minor and that forthwith she is honest in letting American’s citizens know if she is healthy enough to bear the stress of being president.

What is your favorite quote from Donald Trump’s September 7 address to the Conservative Party?  I’ve featured the best ones in the first question of our new Weekly Poll – make your pick today!

Meanwhile the Democrats are begging for mercy – sounds like they are getting desperate. 

How panicked do you think Democrats are right now as Hillary continues to face endless corruption and falling poll numbers? That’s question #2 in our Weekly Poll. 

Talk about scandal – even though the FBI went easy on her, Hillary can’t avoid questions about her email shenanigans. Her bad press is well earned, says the Washington Examiner. 

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg – there’s the corrupt-to-the-core Clinton Foundation to think about, and Hillary’s unprecedented foreign financial entanglements.  Plus hypocrisy, and more hypocrisy… and then some more hypocrisy, this time from Bill Clinton.  

Meanwhile the Trump campaign continues to showcase what a great candidate Republicans have at the top of the ticket. 

Right now, what do you think is the BEST reason to vote for Donald Trump? That’s the third and final question in our new Weekly Poll – I look forward to seeing what everyone has to say. 

Have a great weekend!

Our presidential nominee, Donald J. Trump, posted this last night after accepting our nomination.  We, the Conservative Party members, thank those who were at our 2016 Presidential Reception to help be a part of history.  If you were unable to attend, you can watch Mr. Trump’s acceptance speech here.  Here is Michael D’Onofrio’s article in the Journal News.  Here is how the Observer reported the event.  The LA Times interviewed Chairman Long. So was the Washington Post.  The media really doesn’t think a Trump win is possible, here is Newsmax’s article.  They said the same about Ronald Reagan in 1980 and he won New York state with the votes cast on the Conservative Line helping to make it possible.
