“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
Governor Andrew Cuomo’s spending spree is spelled out in Seth Barron’s Saturday column in the New York Post. Send his column to everyone you know so they are completely aware of the wasteful spending by Governor Cuomo. You can add this one also, Cuomo had the MTA waste $30M on tunnel vanity project. Governor Cuomo spends your money to feed his ego – not what is necessary to make our subways safer, our bridges and streets safer to drive on or teachers having the necessary equipment to give our children a solid background to succeed in the real world.
Inside Cuomo’s plan to have your face scanned at NYC toll plazas. Yes, you read that right. As you drive your car through certain – eventually all – of New York’s toll plaza’s, “the city is scanning drivers’ visages and feeding them into databases to catch suspected criminals, Gov. Andrew Cuomo revealed Friday.” Big Brother is firmly in charge in New York State; the question is will we really be safer – will criminals be caught, terrorists on watch lists be tracked prior to harming citizens, or is government just collecting data on ordinary citizens?
Math standards are being lowered by New York universities, and the Cuomo campaign is leading the way by manipulating their donation numbers with tiny contributions that make it look like average New Yorkers, not big money special interests, are supporting his reelection.
Corruption, thy name is Cuomo!
Convictions this week for Cuomo’s cronies have turned up the heat on the Governor – and all this corruption has a direct impact on you and me and all New Yorkers.
(All these Cuomo scandals prove yet again what you and I know for a fact: There’s a double-standard for liberals and conservatives. The media’s “guilty until proven innocent” approach to Republicans has been on full display this week.)
Now it’s wait-and-see whether Joe Percoco’s punishment will fit the crime, or if he’ll get the slap on the wrist that Team Cuomo wants for him.
In your opinion how corrupt is Andrew Cuomo? That’s the first question in our new Weekly Poll.
Andrew Cuomo symbolizes not just liberal corruption, but also extremism – he is Exhibit A in the Democrats’ lurch to the left. Their new “dream ticket” tells us everything we need to know about the party’s socialist leanings – perfect for today’s “know nothing” left (but not so perfect for those who value the truth, which brings us back to Andrew Cuomo and his “Chicken Little” routine on abortion).
What do you find most alarming about the Democrats’ lurch to the left? That’s the second question in our new Weekly Poll.
In a week of political hysteria on the left, the Democrats have concocted yet another new campaign slogan: “For the People,” which itself is hysterical (and as Barack Obama shows us, hypocritical too).
What do you think would make a BETTER slogan for the Democrats? That’s the third and final question in our new Weekly Poll – I had some fun with it, and I hope you will too.
Governor Cuomo is so consumed with winning a third term – and a probable presidential run – that he is throwing caution to the wind and doing and saying anything and everything that he thinks will propel him into his third term.

Governor Andrew Cuomo’s hiring spree of “special assistants” cost taxpayer’s $33.8 million during fiscal 2016-2017, the latest year for which information is available. Does one person really need 347 special assistants? Maybe they were hired to do this. Oh, the article says his campaign obtained the names of students who scored one of the state’s new Excelsior Scholarships and solicited them to appear in an ad promoting Cuomo’s re-election. I guess they were not aware of this: Federal law requires government and universities to protect students’ personal information and records. Leave it to the Governor to ignore the laws he doesn’t support and do what he pleases.
Governor Cuomo depends on people not paying attention to anything other than what he states as fact…facts that omit important information and are actually very misleading. Another misleading explanation of wasting our hard earned money extracted from our wallets. Here is another example of Governor Cuomo’s wasteful ways: Upstate homeowners and businesses are going to have to pay about $4 billion to build his magical wind turbines off Long Island and NYC. There is no benefit, no flip side. It’s the most expensive type of renewable energy available.
Thanks to NYSCOBA for reminding New Yorkers how Gov. Cuomo is impacting our safety. More on the Corrections officers targeting Cuomo in new ad blitz here. Typical of the campaign office, it slams NYSCOBA for running the ads because “(NYSCOBA) is trying to negotiate its contract and deflect from the fact that it wants to protect those individuals who rape and assault prisoners.” Seriously, must the campaign spokespersons always respond with a scorched earth retort.
President Trump did have this to say about the summit: “The bottom line: Americans want peace, not conflict. “Nothing would be easier politically than to refuse to meet, to refuse to engage, but that would not accomplish anything. As president, I cannot make decisions on foreign policy in a futile effort to appease partisan critics.”
And then there is this: State resources went to Cuomo campaign effort, records show, published in the Albany Times Union, certainly not known as a right-leaning newspaper. How much longer can Governor Andrew Cuomo continue before there is an indictment of him?
Isn’t eight years enough?
Marc Molinaro has a plan, the ‘2019 Albany Accountability Act’ that the NY Post calls “Molinaro’s long-needed reforms to clean up Albany”. Fortunately, for all New Yorkers, the NY Post exposes the news – unlike some many newspapers nowadays that have a political agenda and only print what they want you to see. Read Marc’s plan; email his ideas to your family and friends, volunteer to help any way you can.
This is our state; the wasted money was our money. It will continue, but, only if you let it!
Do not let this happen to the rest of the state; New York deserves better. Do your part, NOW, while we still can. It is not a lack of funds, it is a lack of management and more importantly, it is a laissez-faire attitude while the two CEO’s strive for higher office.
The Parole Board does it again, albeit, this time it is not a policeman killer that has been released, rather a mother whose 8 children died suspiciously.
One News Now is reporting that Muslim candidates who are running in record numbers – face backlash.
“Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh Piled Up Credit Card Debt by Purchasing Nationals Tickets” – that is about the most scandalous behavior liberals can come up with so far in their personal attacks on President Trump’s pick for the high court.
As Investor’s Business Daily notes, “No one argues he isn’t qualified. They just don’t like his decisions. Or really, any conservative’s decisions, whatever they are.”
President Trump stated in his announcement that his choice for the Supreme Court has “impeccable credentials and unsurpassed qualifications.” What do you feel is Kavanaugh’s most important qualification? That’s the first question in our new Weekly Poll.
The confirmation spectacle now begins, and desperate Democrats might find it difficult to stop him. In your opinion, how likely is it that Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed by the US Senate? That’s the second Weekly Poll I have for you.
Meanwhile, President Trump continues to put America first on the world stage.
President Trump gets results. He doesn’t kowtow to the global elites. He says what he means and means what he says. I like it. What about you? What’s the BEST thing about President Trump’s leadership on the world stage? That’s the third and final question in our new Weekly Poll.
What’s the BEST thing about President Trump’s leadership on the world stage?
Let’s see, what else happened this week? The economy keeps humming, and liberal dogma continues to be disproven. It’s entirely possible that some Democrats don’t understand the courage and sacrifice of Purple Heart honorees, and it’s likely Cynthia Nixon doesn’t understand the ins-and-outs of socialism – but will non-citizen voters even care?
Most voters expect a candidate to be honest on where they stand on certain relevant topics. When a candidate asks for your vote – your approval – shouldn’t they be up front and honest where they stand on important issues? Tedra Cobb told supporters she wants an assault weapon ban, but, cannot say that in public — why, because she lives in a district that are strong supporters of the 2nd Amendment. I’ll file this under “lying to get elected.” The voters in the 21st CD are too smart to fall for her deceitful campaign.
That is a very big if, Senator. You really should stay up to date on the science of life, then you would understand you are on the loud, but, losing side. Governor Andrew Cuomo is also out of touch with reality and jumping on board with the loudest voices that continue to try and drown out the most innocent voices heard by those who hold life precious.
The July 7 NY Post editorial makes it perfectly clear that should Governor Andrew Cuomo win reelection, the corruption that has permeated his tenure in office will continue. As the Post editorial states “We shudder to think what a third Cuomo term might bring,” every resident in New York State qualified to vote should end his blatant abuse of taxpayers by ending his political career.
Another good thing that President Trump did was roll back the outdated Obama era regulation of net neutrality. The Dems in Congress will try to reinstate them by using the Congressional Review Act. Dem’s are trying to get a discharge petition vote on July 11th. Access to reliable high-speed Internet is non-negotiable in today’s world. The Republican Majority in Congress must focus now on creating an environment wherein small Internet providers can expand access across the country. Threatening this access as the Democrats are is playing politics with American small business; it’s counterproductive, costly, and un-American. Reach out to your representative in Congress and let them know that you do not support Democrats in their fight to overregulate the internet. If you want to know more about net neutrality, read this article.
Those who have a different view, fail to understand how faith in people and God, not government, was the wisdom that our Founding Fathers gave to this promising new republic that has become the beacon of freedom to the world. I, for one, will always be indebted to our Founding Fathers and duty-bound to fight for the principles they held.
State Comptroller DiNapoli tells us that New York’s state budget is on course for disaster. It seems to me that this is NOT new news (the writing has been on the walls for years), so why does he wait until the Forth of July holiday to tell us?
Enjoy the Fourth – thank a Veteran for making it possible! We will return on Monday, July 9th.
