“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

Brooklyn, NY - “New York has the most radical abortion laws in the country, allowing termination of an unborn child right up until birth — more than twice the length of time most liberal European countries allow. But that’s not enough for Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James who now want to turn the state into a national mecca for abortion procedures wholly paid for by New York taxpayers.
“The governor and attorney general have no right to force New Yorkers to pay for abortions for non-New Yorkers. New Yorkers, who already pay the highest taxes in the country, need to fight it.”
###
The New York State Conservative Party has been arguing for nearly five decades that Roe V. Wade was a short-sighted, bad legal decision. The leak of Justice Alito’s draft opinion earlier this week hints at a long-awaited reversal and a victory for those of us who respect the rights of the unborn.
I have never viewed abortion as constitutionally protected. While the leak hints at a victory for life, we need to patiently await the final ruling.
We are on the verge of one of the most historic, impactful Supreme Court decisions of our lifetime. I join with you in sincerely hoping that the Supreme Court does indeed do the right thing – reverse Roe V. Wade.
Governor Kathy Hochul and her gang in the Democratic Party have no moral scruples preventing them from doing anything they need to benefit themselves.
Earlier this week, they amended long standing election law in order to do one thing—make up for Governor Hochul’s mistake when she appointed Brian Benjamin as her Lt. Governor without first thoroughly vetting the nominee.
They replaced the disgraced Benjamin on the ballot with newly anointed Lt. Governor Antonio Delgado, a Congressman from NY’s 19th district. Congressman Delgado immediately accepted Hochul’s parachute as he, along with his team and campaign staff, knew the very popular Dutchess County Executive, Marc Molinaro, posed more than a serious threat to his incumbency.
This isn’t about left vs. right. This is about the out of touch Democratic Party in control of the state, desperately in need of a lifeline, changing laws to benefit themselves. Governor Hochul and her team were derelict in their duties to fully vet Benjamin. In return, they abused the law and used their majority in Albany to set a dangerous precedence — changing state laws in order to compensate for their incompetence.
Michael Henry is the son of a retired Mount Vernon detective and a surgery center manager from the Bronx. He knows that hard work leads to accomplishment.
In New York, crime crises are crippling every part of this state. Every single day, victim-generating laws mean working class people fear the streets. He decided to use his earned experience to save New York from becoming lawless by running for Attorney General and ensuring New York remains a safe place to work and raise a family.
Michael is an experienced attorney who owns a New York City based, boutique law firm which specializes in commercial litigation, creditor bankruptcy and PACA Trust. His work has successfully recovered millions of dollars in assets for clients ranging from billion dollar banks to small business owners. Most recently, he set a court precedent in the Eastern District of New York, where a judge issued a slip opinion in response to the court’s agreement with Michael’s memorandum of law defining the courts jurisdiction.
As of May 1, 2022 in New York City alone, shooting victims are up 4.4%, felony assault is up 19.8%, rape is up 10.7%, and burglary is up 32.7%. These numbers are just a small portion of the crime increases we are seeing statewide. We have opportunities this fall to change directions and work towards a friendlier, safer New York that doesn’t favor criminals over hard- working tax payers.

Brooklyn, NY - “Kathy Hochul and the Democratic Party have no compunction about changing laws to benefit themselves personally. Yesterday they amended long-established election law solely to relieve Mrs. Hochul of a running mate who has been indicted for corruption. Today they replaced the former Lt. Governor with a member of Congress who was likely to be defeated in November and needed a political lifeline. Will the Democrats ever realize that state government isn’t all about them? Fortunately, the voters will have the opportunity to educate them in November.”

Brooklyn, NY - “Gov. Kathy Hochul chose Brian Benjamin to be her Lt. Governor and 2022 running mate despite common knowledge that Mr. Benjamin was being investigated for corruption, which apparently meant nothing to Mrs. Hochul. When she selected Mr. Benjamin to run alongside her this year, Mrs. Hochul was perfectly well aware that under existing New York State Election Law Mr. Benjamin could not be removed from the ballot after the declination process expired. These are the rules for everyone — except for Mrs. Hochul evidently.
“Today’s legislative machinations to get Mr. Benjamin off the ballot are an affront to New Yorkers who expect their elected officials to follow the laws they create. By changing this law midstream, solely to benefit Mrs. Hochul, the Democrats in the State Legislature have made it clear that there is one set of rules for Democrat elected officials and another for everyone else. This action is a disgrace, even by Albany standards.”
###
New York State Democrats tried their best to play us all for fools, but they were caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Three different courts ruled they unconstitutionally gerrymandered new district lines in their favor with the intention of stealing power from the people of New York.
“The IRC and the legislature failed to follow the procedure commanded by the State Constitution,” said New York State Court of Appeals Chief Judge DiFiore.
This is a monumental and nationally significantly win that will certainly result in more competitive Congressional and State Senate contests this fall. This decision legally validates what Conservatives, Republicans, editorial boards, and good government groups have been saying for months: the court rejected lines were right out of the Tammany Hall playbook. This is a good day for democracy in New York.
Governor Hochul never disappoints when it comes to her self-centered approach to politics.
Her cynical attempt to remove corrupt former Lt. Governor Benjamin from the primary ballot has even turned off Democrats in the Legislature. Changing the playing field in the middle of the game is unacceptable, though not surprising as New York State Democrats are in disarray all over the state.
Hochul, if she wins her primary, will simply need to figure out how to campaign with an avowed socialist, Ana Maria Archila, or extreme progressive candidate and former far left NYC Councilmember, Diana Renya.
Try as she might, Governor Kathy Hochul can’t fool New Yorkers, but it’s not from lack of trying.
Last year’s Conservative Party candidate for NYC Comptroller is this year’s Republican/Conservative candidate for NYS Comptroller.
Paul did amazingly well in 2021 for a candidate running on just the Conservative Party line in the city. With a diverse financial background and a common-sense approach, it is no wonder he did so well.
Current State Comptroller, Democrat Tom DiNapoli, is a go along to get along incumbent with a track record of avoiding any confrontation with New York’s Governors. With New York’s culture of criminality in government, Cuomo, Hochul, and disgraced ex Lt. Governor Benjamin seem to have functioned quite well under DiNapoli’s tenure as the “taxpayer’s watchdog”.

Brooklyn, NY - “Today’s court victory against Kathy Hochul’s and the Democratic state legislators’ attempted gerrymandering of New York senate and congressional lines will be heard all across America. Mrs. Hochul and her Democrat colleagues blatantly attempted to subvert the will of voters, who expressly passed a referendum to create a nonpartisan redistricting commission just a few years ago. Today, the Governor and Democratic Party leaders had their hats handed to them.
“This decision legally validates what Conservatives, Republicans, editorial boards, and good government groups have been saying for months: the court-rejected lines were right out of the Tammany Hall playbook. This is a good day for democracy in New York.”

Brooklyn, NY – “Try as she might, Governor Kathy Hochul can’t fool New Yorkers, but it’s not from lack of trying. Ever since joining disgraced ex-governor Andrew Cuomo in the Executive Chamber, Mrs. Hochul has been working to mislead us on everything from bail reform to nursing home deaths to ridiculous stadium deals. Now, she’s pushing legislators to pass a bill that would only benefit her personally by getting her criminally indicted Lt. Governor off the ballot. New Yorkers see this for what it is: another blatantly self-serving political ploy from a governor looking out only for herself. The time for change is now.”
As we enter into the holy days for Jews and Christians, it is important to reflect on their meaning especially this year with Ukraine feeling the brunt of Putin’s drive to depose its government. These are perilous times; the threat of another world war is not implausible and each decision our leaders make is critical. Passover and Easter are a time for reflection.
Passover celebrates the Exodus – the liberation of Israelites from slavery in Egypt, after 430 years, when the angel of God passed over the houses of Israelites and saved them. Their faith sustained them throughout their bondage and each year during Passover they remember that it was the angel of God who saved them.
Easter celebrates the risen Christ – who suffered and died nailed to a cross on Good Friday to atone for our sins. Jesus, was born in our likeness, lived on earth as we do, suffered and ultimately gave His life for us, to let us know that He loves us and no matter how dark the world may be, He will not abandon us.
This is the message of Passover and Easter; remembering the goodness of God and doing our best to reflect His goodness, doing so will make the world a better and safer place.
As Ronald Reagan said “If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be one nation gone under.”
Wishing you and your family a blessed Easter and Passover.

Statement from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on Arrest of Lt. Governor Benjamin
Brooklyn, NY – “Here we go again. Another day, another senior New York Democrat arrested for alleged corruption, this time Lt. Governor Brian Benjamin. It’s enough to make New York taxpayers scream.
“Mr. Benjamin’s arrest says everything one needs to know about Albany under the Hochul Administration. Governor Hochul knew Mr. Benjamin was viewed as shady — everyone in Albany knew that — and still she made him her right-hand-man in government. It’s as though hints of corruption meant nothing to her.
“New Yorkers are sick of the chaos that Democrats have inflicted on this state. Crime, corruption, taxes, and wokeism have turned New York into a national punchline. Only a new governor can turn this state around. The current one is but another charter member of the Albany Swamp.”
I am pleased to announce that due to the hard work of our Party Chairmen, and hundreds of volunteers, the Conservative Party has filed nominating petitions in every corner of the state.
This guarantees that when you turn out to vote you will find a qualified candidate representing your values running for Congress, State Senate, Assembly and other local offices. With so much at stake this November, I urge you to follow the developing races and to get involved with your local candidates.
DeSANTIS ONE, DISNEY ZERO
Every time I hear criticism of the Governor and State Legislature of Florida over the prohibition
against teaching young children about sexual orientation, I just want to shout, “What is wrong with them?”
Florida got it right. This is an inappropriate curriculum for young children to say the least. The Disney wonks who thought they could advocate their political agenda free of push back were very much wrong. Though much of the criticism seems to be coming from the top of the Disney hierarchy as many every day employees have come out to say the company does not speak for them and their values as parents.
Disney World has received enormous benefits from the citizens of Florida including semi-autonomous status for the park. I would think abiding by this statute without the many threats to the state and its citizens that have emanated from the entertainment giant would be appropriate.
As far as NYC Mayor Adams conducting an advertising campaign of many millions of dollars to urge the LBGTQ community to leave Florida and move to NYC, I would recommend that if he really cared about making people want to return to NYC he use the money to hire more police, not further stimulate the Florida economy.
OBAMA RETURNS
Let us not forget that President Obama’s return to the White House was to celebrate the anniversary of one of the worst pieces of legislation in the past fifty years – Obamacare.
If it was not for the gutting of the original program by the courts and the Trump Administration, Obamacare would have destroyed healthcare and the economy.
On another note about the same event, despite my general negative view of all that is Biden, I felt bad for him as his Vice President and those in attendance literally ignored his presence to fawn over Obama. Joe Biden looked weak as his presence was dismissed and overshadowed by a man who has not held public office in nearly six years. Clearly, even mainstream Democrats don’t want to hitch their wagon to the Biden administration.
Congrats Ari Brown
Congratulations to Nassau County’s newest Member of the New York State Assembly, Ari Brown. This is a big win for Ari and the Conservative and Republican parties as Ari outperformed the 2020 Presidential margin of victory by 25%
Yesterday, a New York Supreme Court Judge ruled new district lines for Congress, State Senate and the Assembly created by the highly partisan Democratic leadership of the New York Legislature and signed into law by Governor Kathy Hochul, are in violation of the New York State Constitution. He ordered new bi-partisan maps to be submitted no later than April 11th. Of course, the Democratic leadership of the Legislature appealed. A stay has been issued as the case makes its way to the 4th Department in Rochester.
We are very pleased with this well-written, thoughtful decision which at its heart says that the reapportionment process overseen by the Democrats in the Legislature was tainted from its earliest stages.
Additionally, countless editorial boards and interested organizations have favorably commented on Judge McAllister’s decision.

Joe Pinion for United States Senate
Joe Pinion is an advocate, entrepreneur, and political news commentator. Throughout his life, Joe has witnessed both the power of opportunity and the pernicious impact of government driven neglect.
From the faces within his own family to the stories he has helped explore from behind a news desk, Joe personally understands the realities confronting the everyday people that call New York home.
Joe, born and raised in Yonkers, NY by his mother and grandmother, graduated from Horace Mann High School. A standout student-athlete, he was recruited to play football at Colgate University, where he was a 2 year varsity letter winner and a member of the 2003 team that finished 15-1 and played in the I-AA National Championship.
In that same time, and much more, Chuck Schumer has been a career politician. A career that spans nearly 50 years, Schumer knows nothing except tax-payer funded paychecks. He does, however, have an ownership stake in New York—particularly in the states decline.
Known for Sunday press conferences and bragging about visiting all 62 counties annually, he is short on accomplishments. New York is ready for change. Chuck Schumer’s vision for New York is stale. Joe Pinion is our vehicle for change.
Government certainly can play an important role in supporting its home teams, but $850 million in taxpayer dollars to construct a new stadium for the Buffalo Bills is not a proper use of state funds.
There has been a great deal of talk that these types of expenditures have become common
around the nation, that should not be the case. In fact, they should not be happening at all. Not only is this deal not beneficial to New Yorker’s, it far exceeds what other localities have given to other teams.
While we wish the Bills another exceptional season, we believe its billionaire primary owner should not become wealthier as a result of enormous injections of taxpayer cash.
Joe Biden’s Gaffs Continue
Either President Biden had some great strategy in mind when he spoke of regime changes in Russia or it just goes down as another one of his countless unhinged gaffs. In this case, I am going to go with another, albeit, very dangerous gaff.
Ironically, I totally agree that regime change is necessary in Russia. I also feel strongly that Putin
should be tried for war crimes even if it needs to be in absentia. The problem for the world is that Joe Biden is not like everybody. Whether he was telegraphing a time line for US Troop withdrawals from Afghanistan or commenting on the leadership and government of Russia, he needs to recognize that as President his words can have incredible consequences.
I hope one day our “friends” in the mainstream media will hold him accountable, though I won’t hold my breath. We must continue to report, in good faith, what we see and hear ourselves as it is clear the media will continue to shill on behalf of this administration.
