STEFANIK AND ZELDIN JOINING PRESIDENT TRUMP’S CABINET

New Yorkers should be immensely proud that President Trump has selected Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, and former Congressman Lee Zeldin to serve in his Presidential Cabinet. There isn’t anyone more deserving to serve our Country than New York’s best and brightest. 

We are sad to see Elise vacate her Congressional seat, but we know she will have New York, and our Country, at the top of her mind as she navigates her duties as Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is currently a senior member of the Armed Services Committee, the Committee on Education and the Workforce, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. Her fight against antisemitism was applauded across both sides of the aisle during the Harvard President House investigation that turned national news. You can read our full press release on Elise here: 

Lee Zeldin has been traveling the Country with President Trump, helping our congressional/down ballot candidates across New York, helped fight against Prop 1, and turned the tide in New York two years ago when he ran for Governor. Ever since then, Lee has been a major resource and idol for conservative activists around the Country. The EPA has vastly overreached under the Biden Administration, reestablishing a regulatory environment that has suppressed billions of dollars of economic growth. Lee Zeldin is the perfect candidate to undo Bidens policy mess and unleash American energy at home. With Lee’s help, America will be energy independent once again. You can read our full press release on Lee here:

Elise Stefanik and Lee Zeldin have longtime and close relationships with the Conservative Party.  They will both make excellent members of the President’s cabinet representing the interests of the United States, the President, and our conservative philosophy at the United Nations and the EPA.

The President and his transition team are on track to round out our new government quickly, with many fine appointments.  Our nation needs to overcome the many setbacks we experienced during the Biden/Harris years. With control of the Senate and House, the President should have a memorable first one hundred days that will make our Party proud.

To that point we are now at 311,000 votes statewide and growing. However, now is not the time to let up the gas. The Conservative Party will continue to register new voters, spread Trump’s message, and drain the swamp one day at a time! 

NO TO CONGESTION PRICING

Governor Hochul’s scheme to quickly revive congestion pricing is no more than a cynical attempt to get ahead of President Trump’s firm objection to the program before he takes office. She has made clear that she intentionally set the new pricing at $9 to outmaneuver a federal requirement that a new environmental impact study be conducted.  Biden waived a full study, and of course, Trump will not.

Congestion pricing is immensely unpopular. With good reason, being that it is no more than a tax on hard working New Yorkers already overtaxed and over regulated.  

The radical MTA leadership is constantly looking for a cash cow unwilling to deal with systematic problems including hundreds of millions in fare beating, as well as a bloated payroll containing thousands of ultra-high paid bureaucrats, often doing duplicative jobs.

Congressional opposition led by Republicans Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis and Mike Lawler, is bi-partisan, with several high-profile Democrats joining with the GOP.  Remember, almost 70% of New Yorkers disapprove of congestion pricing.

Hochul may get away with turning on the collection devices. If so, I would not be surprised if the Trump Administration, bolstered by solid Congressional support, turns them off upon being sworn into office.

Hochul, often described as one of the worst Governors in modern history, is certainly one of the most unpopular.

FEMA IGNORES TRUMP SUPPORTERS

I never thought I would read such a headline, but it turns out there’s a lot more rot in government than we are aware. There is one thing people can’t control, natural disasters, such as tornados, hurricanes, floods, etc. The way you vote, your ethnicity, race, financial situation, should not matter. Our politicians, and government employees are expected to put their partisanship aside and rise up to the challenge at hand for their fellow citizens. Especially in life-or-death situations. In this case, FEMA completely failed in their mission and ignored homes in Florida with Trump signs/banners. Imagine your home has been completely destroyed, and you are waiting for FEMA or any government assistance, but because of your political beliefs, you can be ignored even in the most dire of situations. 

The FEMA supervisor was fired for her actions but claims this was essentially common practice and she was just following orders. According to Fox News, “The Daily Wire first reported that government employees told the outlet at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags were bypassed from the end of October into November due to “best practices” guidance from Washington. The houses were skipped over by the workers, who wrote messages such as “Trump sign no entry per leadership” in a government system, per the outlet.” In other words, the politics of the homeowners caused the FEMA employees to feel unsafe.

This story obviously brings immense disgust to the Conservative Party and our members, but we were glad to see Governor Ron DeSantis order a full investigation into this madness. After a thorough investigation is done in Florida, it would not surprise me if an investigation continued under the Trump administration. We know the swamp isn’t going to be easy to drain, but we have all the right tools in place to do so in the next 4 years.
