Year: 2016

Daily Update

A three-judge panel of the 2d US Circuit Court of Appeals sent a clear message to corrupt politicians with this ruling.

Will Breddermann has an article in the Observer on how Governor Andrew Cuomo thinks there is “no right or wrong” when it comes to economic development in NYS, just opinions.  When reading the article it became apparent to me that Andrew is emulating Mario more and more each time he speaks to the press.

The Empire Center reminds us that Upstate job gains stay near nil, despite Gov. Cuomo pouring our tax dollars into projects. 

One seldom wants an “F” when it comes to grades, but, on this particular issue, I would welcome an “F”. 

The federal government will probably collect $6.65 trillion dollars this year, but that is not enough for Hillary Clinton who needs more for her progressive agenda

President Obama is trying to bypass Congress AGAIN with an effort to unilaterally raise the federal estate tax.

Nothing interrupts President Obama’s vacation, if this were Dubya or any republican president the press would be all over them.   Of course, if President Obama could find a way to blame the flooding on Climate Change we are sure he would be in Louisiana, however, facts show the flooding is not caused by man-made climate change

Daily Update

Most of today’s headlines about Donald J. Trump are about the shake-up in his campaign, but if you look a little deeper – or go to Mr. Trump’s campaign page — you will be see what is being said about his speech last night in West Bend, Wisconsin.  Quite a few rave reviews — Focused, Powerful and Disciplined!   Read it for yourself here.

How does a person who wants to be President of our United States — who if they win will swear on a Bible that they will uphold the United States Constitution — have an illegal immigrant with ties to George Soros tappedfor a new effort to register Latino voters?  If you elevate an illegal immigrant to such an important position, how do you respect, honor and uphold our US Constitution. Through the years, progressive judges have given illegal immigrants more stature, under an administration that taps an illegal immigrant to help their cause, rest assured, immigrants will flood the United States and be granted all the rights of citizenship.

Rest assured, if Hillary becomes president, this will continue and most likely be expanded.

Weekly Wrap-Up

This week the media’s double standard for Donald Trump was revved up to seemingly new heights – from practically ignoring Hillary Clinton’s repulsive supporters (Trump is held accountable for any nut job who claims to support him) to deliberately taking Trump’s words out of context

 Increasingly the “mainstream” media is a mere parody of itself.

I’ve made this the subject of our new Weekly Poll: How much of a double-standard do you see in the media’s coverage of Hillary Clinton compared to Donald Trump? What do you see as the media’s worst tactic when it comes to vilifying Donald Trump? And which media outlet do you believe is the WORST when it comes to unfair coverage of Donald Trump?

I look forward to seeing what people have to say.

More Clinton hypocrisy: Hillary’s not always opposed to walls to protect important land – when it comes to keeping outsiders away from her personal property, no wall is too big. 
 
Of course, a hefty donation to the Clinton Foundation would likely allow almost anyone to gain access to the Clinton Estate.

It’s another disgraceful move by the Obama Department of Justice: Hillary Clinton once again gets a pass on her blatant corruption (this time it’s her pay-to-play abuse of the State Department and the Clinton Foundation – it’s hard to keep track of all the scandals, I know). 

The FBI wanted an investigation. Obama’s political team – I mean, the DOJ said no.

Investor’s Business Daily shares the 44 new Clinton lies uncovered this week – that’s the number of Clinton emails unearthed from an account Hillary said she wasn’t using.

Another day, another scandal – there seems to be no limit to Clinton corruption. 

Have a great weekend!

Daily Update

Did the FBI cave again because the Department of Justice did not want the Clinton Foundation investigated? Here is more on the new allegations.  And here is the CNN Report that sheds more light on the pay-to-play Hillary and Bill love so much.  Even the Washington Post is reporting on the Clinton’s favorite past time.

When will people learn that what government gives you it can also take away.  The democrats, and only democrats voted for Obamacare and while they do not want to take it away from you, Obamacare is collapsing and cannot continue.   Then there are times when government promises revenue to balance their budgets and it just never materializes.   Will Buffalo’s huge Solar City enterprise fall to the same fate?  While we are on the topic of government doing what it wants to do, the National Center for Public Policy Research has a legitimate question about the 1964 Civil Rights Act.   Here is another example of government out of control.  And let’s not forget what the IRS is capable of doing to innocent citizens.

Daily Update

File this articles under:  Cuomo trying to reset (with the Clinton’s)  after DNC Convention.   Gov. Cuomo blames Legislature after Hillary Clinton comes under fire for unfulfilled promise to add 200,000 upstate New York jobs when she was senator

The above article shows Governor Cuomo trying to make amends with democrats after being panned for his DNC speech.  Then he blasts his fellow democrats in this article.  Ummm, Governor, Buffalo was not the only area to “hemorrhage jobs”, the rest of the state is still hemorrhaging jobs.  

Governor Cuomo — and Mayor de Blasio —  should be more concerned about this!  By the way, Mr. Mayor, this is not how you increase city funds.

How silly of us for thinking Hillary can’t create jobs.   Here is how she creates jobs…of course, a pay-to-play job comes with a prerequisite and a pungent stench.  Here is how The Hill plays the information.

Hillary avoids pertinent press questions again…one would think with all the good press she gets from them she would be more willing to talk to them.

Daily Update

There she goes again, Hillary just cannot help herself from exaggerating what she will do if elected.  She promised New Yorker’s 200,00 jobs as Senator and failed; now the promise is 640,000 for New Yorker’s.  Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Weekly Wrap-Up

If you like your health care plan you can keep it, the Benghazi attacks were inspired by a YouTube video… and now, the U.S. did NOT pay a $400 million ransom to Iran for the release of U.S. hostages. 

It’s the latest lie from the Obama Administration – about something that endangers Americans everywhere.

Not a ransom? Even Obama’s IRS wouldn’t believe a whopper like that.

As Mike Pence says, the whole world knows the handout to Iran was a ransom payment – if it wasn’t, why keep it a secret

And now we learn how Iran spent its ransom windfall.

I’ve made this Iran payoff the theme of our new Weekly Poll: How would you describe President Obama’s “not-a-ransom” claim? What do you think will be the most damaging result of this payoff?  Do you believe this is the worst lie President Obama has told? (As you know, there’s plenty of competition.) 

Vote today – the answers on this topic should be very interesting. 

Just as the ransom payment to Iran isn’t really a ransom payment, this payoff to the Clinton Foundation by a group that pushes Sharia Law isn’t really outrageous.  

This week we learned specifically how much damage Hillary will do to our economy – “Hillarynomics” will increase the deficit by $2.2 trillion and spend three times the revenues coming in – and by the way, America will be bankrupt

No wonder Hillary is (accidentally?) saying that she will raise taxes on the middle class.

We can’t afford any more “big ideas” from the left – Obamacare’s failure is proof of that.

Finally, here in New York, our friend John Faso is doing his best to run a principled, responsible campaign in the midst of left-wing extremism.

Have a great weekend!

Daily Update

Help me understand this — President Obama who airlifted $400 million to Iran in January as 4 Americans were being released by Theran and claims it wasn’t ransom — is calling Donald J. Trump “unfit to be President” while holding a news conference with the Prime Minister of Singapore.  President Obama consistently praises Hillary despite the fact that the FBI Director detailed a long list of Clinton’s violations but declined to prosecute the case. 

Mr. President, your remarks are purely political and made to help elect a woman who is unfit to be president just to protect your legacy. 

Need more proof that Hillary is unfit to be president.  Watch this clip with Joe Connor on Fox and Friends this morning. 

Of course, there are still things we do not know about Hillary’s term as Secretary of State.

This is a terrifying thought

Expect more of this if Hillary were to become president.
