“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
Those who serve in the NYS Legislature, take an oath to uphold our constitution. They accept the responsibility to write laws that they expect people to abide by. Yesterday, when they deliberately passed a bill that rewards people who are known to have NO respect for the laws that govern New Yorkers, they broke their oath and made a mockery of law-abiding citizens. When the Governor signed said bill, he also broke his oath and sanctioned law breaking in New York state. Why obey any laws now? The elected officials who voted to give illegal immigrants a NYS driver’s license, do not belong in the NYS Legislature. Governor Cuomo, who played the issue like a Stradivarius, signed the end of his political career when he signed the most flagrant disregard of the law that was passed to keep New Yorkers safe after the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001. We will not forget.
Abortion until the baby takes their first breath, no bail, hard core felons released from prison, rent control that will drive landlords to poverty, driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants and now, New Yorker’s can look forward to higher food prices. Who is going to continue to live in a state where their government has no respect for them? If our good citizens do not make their voices heard, it will not take long before New York is similar to a third world country. Take a look at California.
Today begins the last week of session in the NYS Legislature. They cannot go home soon enough! This year has been a disaster for those of us who continue to live in New York State. The New York Times gives an overview of all of the progressive bills that will cause havoc in our cities and state. Of course, the NY Times supports this agenda, and is pushing the fact that illegal immigrants should be granted licenses. Just because their readership is in a nosedive, doesn’t mean they should call for programs that will bring our government closer to the socialistic government that runs Venezuela!
The Buffalo News suggests that the recreational marijuana bill, has hit a snag, but the NY Post writes this: New York Senate is hashing out bill to legalize weed. Why it is being considered is mindboggling when you know that drug abuse is destroying the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. I would venture to say that everyone reading this blog has been touched by the plague of drug abuse, if not directly, most definitely indirectly. Why on earth does the democratically controlled New York State want to encourage the use of a Schedule 1 drug? Haven’t we seen enough of the trauma drugs cause in trafficking and use? What message do we want to send our youth? That marijuana is okay, and if a Schedule 1 drug is okay, why not all drugs? Shame on the people pushing this. The Washington Post, considered by most to be a progressive paper, ran this article yesterday: Potent pot, vulnerable teens trigger concerns in first states to legalize marijuana. Read the article, then send it to your local Senator and ask them how can they consider making marijuana available for recreational use? Do we not learn from our mistakes? Send the Washington Post article, now, time is running out.
DA David Soares (Albany County who originally won with Working Family Party support) has this Op-Ed in the NY Post: The Legislature endangered the public by botching criminal-justice reform. It always is stronger when a person who has supported criminal justice reform, realizes that some of the changes are not necessary and in fact dangerous.
BILL TO GIVE DRIVER’S LICENSES TO ILLEGALS MOVES FORWARD
The Democrats in the New York Assembly, urged on by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, passed the “Driver’s License Access and Privacy Act” this week to reward illegal immigrants with driving privileges.
The legislation, A.3675-B, will incentivize lawlessness, but Democrats are insisting that it will instead “create safer roads for all New Yorkers, boost the state’s economy and protect hardworking New Yorkers and their families” in their press release.
Cayuga County Clerk Sue Dwyer said, “It is absolutely mind-boggling that the Democrat-controlled Senate and Assembly want to pass legislation that would allow people,who are in our country illegally, to walk up to a DMV counter to apply for a New York State driver’s license by giving DMV staff as little as a foreign document. First of all, we have no way of knowing its authenticity, and if we suspect that it’s a fraudulent document, we will not be allowed to question it.”
“Not only will our roads throughout New York State be safer, but families of immigrants will have more peace of mind while their loved ones are on the roads,” said Assemblymember Crespo.
The Democrats always do all that they can in order to make their invading third-world constituents feel at home.
Sens. Jessica Ramos and Julia Salazar are planning to introduce the “Stop Violence in the Sex Trades Act” to let street walkers who are selling their bodies for cash off the hook.
“We want to bring sex workers out of the shadows and ensure that they are protected,” Ramos said in at a press conference. “We will finally make strides against trafficking by empowering sex workers to report violence against them. Sex work is work and everyone has an inherent right to a safe workplace.”
The radical Democrats want to protect every criminal or degenerate aspect of our society these days at the expense of tax paying New Yorkers. .
If enacted, the legislation would condone prostitution in certain instances, shield prostitutes from criminal liability, and expunge the criminal records of sex workers in most cases.
“When you’re running for president of United States this is always a challenge, to balance the schedules,” de Blasio said as an excuse for his absence.
De Blasio was the first Mayor in the history of the parade to ever miss the event. He believes his own ambitions are more important than showing solidarity with the Puerto Rican community.
“What’s happening Sunday is one of the biggest Democratic party events of the year in Iowa,” he added. “Iowa is obviously the first election of the season for Democratic presidential candidates…And it [is] important to be there, but my respect, my commitment, to the Puerto Rican community is very, very well known in the community, and it will continue deeply.”
The people of Iowa are not impressed by de Blasio despite his incessant campaigning. He is polling at zero percent in the crucial midwestern state, as his campaign becomes a national punchline.
Flag Day is celebrated each year on June 14 to commemorate the day on which the country adopted its famous stars and stripes.
President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation in 1916 to mark the date in 1777 when the Second Continental Congress selected the American flag.
Many people in the United States and New York State will honor the day by displaying the flag at homes and public buildings.
The Conservative Party of New York State would like to wish everyone a happy Flag Day!
Congressman Katko and Congresswoman Stefanik were supportive of our opposition to allowing NYS become a sanctuary state. Unfortunately, most of the press corps failed to cover our press conference and enlighten the citizens of New York State.
“While the federal government continues to threaten our immigrant communities, New York will not stop fighting to protect the rights of new Americans,” Governor Cuomo said.
NYC RESIDENTS PAY FOR DE BLASIO’S AMBITIONS
Unpopular New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is running for President despite the chance that he has a snowball’s chance in Hades of actually winning. The far-left radical’s vanity run is costing his city a great deal of funds, as he neglects his real job to travel and conduct interviews.
Reporters have noted that de Blasio is traveling with New York Police Department (NYPD) security detail during campaign stops. Civil rights attorney Norman Siegel is filing Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests because de Blasio is being tight-lipped about how much his ambitions are costing his city.
“It’s a very, very small amount of money,” the mayor said. “But, again, anything about how security is provided should go to the NYPD.”
The NYPD is not responding to requests about the figures either, but considering how de Blasio is doing in his role as Mayor, the costs may be a small price to pay to keep the nanny-state bureaucrat from further screwing up NYC. DE BLASIO’S SOCIAL JUSTICE AGENDA
By the time de Blasio is finished with New York City, the residents may be begging him to go to Iowa, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Michigan, or anywhere else no matter the cost!
Mayoral spokesperson Freddi Goldstein revealed de Blasio’s agenda for the year and it is a progressive nightmare including dope legalization, rent controls, ending the Specialized High School Admission Test (SHSAT) for the purposes of diversity and inclusion, more handouts for minority- and women-owned businesses, repealing Section 50-a of the state Civil Rights law to put law enforcement under further attack, and letting more criminals back on the streets.
“There’s a lot going on in the final weeks here of the legislative session… What they’ve achieved already this year has been remarkable, it’s been historic. A lot more is going to happen over the next few weeks. This is going to be judged as one of the great legislative sessions in many decades,” de Blasio said on Monday afternoon to reporters.
Today is the 75th Anniversary of D-Day; a day full of a complete range of emotions, from sadness at the tremendous loss of lives to incredible pride in overcoming the physical obstacles that our boys were able to conquer. D-Day changed the world and placed America’s vision — it’s steadfast belief in our Republic and the people willing to make the sacrifices necessary to protect it — at the helm of the fight for the world to experience our freedom. We are forever grateful to the men and women who trusted our leaders knowing full well that they may never return.
‘The boys of Pointe du Hoc’ (you can hear President Reagan give the speech) It has been 35 years since President Ronald Reagan gave the D-Day speech that moved a nation, somehow it is fitting that Ronald Reagan went to meet the boys of Pointe du Hoc 15 years ago today. Rest in Peace, Mr. President. We still sorely miss you.
The City, an on-line news source has an article, STATE ASSEMBLY POISED TO GREENLIGHT LICENSES FOR IMMIGRANT DRIVERS, written by Josefa Velasquez and Rosa Goldensohn, that begins with this sentence; Undocumented (emphasis added) New Yorkers are inching closer to getting their right to driver’s licenses restored. Question, where does it say that ILLEGAL, or to use their term, UNDOCUMENTED New Yorkers have a “right” to a driver’s license. Just because news organizations say you have a “right” does not mean you can circumvent the laws of the United States and New York State. If you enter our country ILLEGALLY you have disregarded, ignored and defied the law of the land, why then should you be rewarded with any of the benefits of citizenship? Instead of pulling at the heartstrings of a generous population, why not write about the deaths caused by illegal immigrants when driving?
Bob Confer writes in his column that lawmakers look to make New York even more litigious. It helps explain why New York’s hidden costs helps make NY a very expensive state to live in and why companies are reluctant to locate here.
According to the US Census Bureau, women in NYS comprise 51.4% of the population. The way Governor Andrew Cuomo is pandering to them, one would think the percentage would be much higher. The unfortunate results his pandering could easily backfire leaving women without jobs (strengthening equal pay), broaden the criteria for what’s considered sexual harassment (could lead to fewer opportunities for women) and, sadly the reality is, it encourages women to be victims.
If ever there was an extremely accurate editorial, the New York Post printed it today: Albany’s end of session: uglier than ever. Read it and weep as it speaks the truth about the NYS Legislature. Unfortunately, when the Big Ugly is passed (and there is little doubt that it will be since Governor Andrew Cuomo blasted the legislature for not doing enough for the progressive movement) the steady exodus of New Yorkers’ will only increase as the burden on taxpayers, already one of highest in the nation, will become more than the average wage earner is willing to pay. It is unconscionable that the majority of the current elected officials are willing to pursue a course that continues the demise of what was once an Empire State. What is also unacceptable is the people who elected these officials that encourage the demise of a state that was once a beacon to those who wanted to pursue the American Dream through the free enterprise system, not government mandates and handouts.
The City is reporting that: AIRPORT WORKERS TURN TO ALBANY FOR HEALTHCARE AND PAID LEAVE BENEFITS.
The Buffalo News has a very thoughtful and interesting editorial on an unequal spending equation on education.
Charter Schools have done well for their students, yet, state Dems are fighting charter schools near end of legislative session. One would think that the education of our youth would be more important than pleasing the NYS Teacher’s Union.

As the state of New York enforces laws radically expanding abortion “rights” recent figures have been released showing that there are four times as many late-term abortions than there are murders in New York City. These numbers are from 2015, so the numbers will substantially increase because Gov. Cuomo signed legislation allowing abortions up to 24 weeks into a pregnancy earlier in the year.
This may be legalized infanticide, considering a baby was born at 23 weeks and survived last year in San Diego. The baby was in the hospital for nearly six months following birth due to serious complications, but the health care staff was able to stabilize the health of the baby who was born the size of an apple. The baby left the hospital at a healthy five pounds earlier this month. In the state of New York under the Cuomo regime, the baby may have been discarded as medical waste.
NADLER’S IMPEACHMENT CRUSADE
Rep. Jerry Nadler, who has a long-standing feud with Donald Trump going back many decades, spent time with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio in favor of speeding cameras last week.
Nadler just does not know when to quit. Using FBI spook Robert Mueller’s sophistry as an excuse, Nadler announced to the public on Wednesday that “all options are on the table” with regards to impeaching President Donald Trump despite the fact that he was cleared of Russian collusion.
“What special counsel Mueller said loud and clear today for the American people is that President Trump is lying when he says no collusion, no obstruction and that he was exonerated,” Nadler said – showing no regard to the facts of the case.
Populist parties of the Left and the Right dominated European Union parliamentary elections which concluded this past weekend. The biggest conservative winners were Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage and Italian interior minister Matteo Salvini.
Their right-leaning political parties received huge pluralities of the vote in their nation’s respective elections. They are expected to form a voting bloc in the EU parliament where they will be able to stall the plan of the globalists. They will possibly be joined by French upstart Marine Le Pen’s National Rally and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party, who also made large gains in the election as well.
