Tim Walz: The Left Runs Further Left 

On Tuesday, Kamala Harris announced her vice presidential nominee would be Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and again told the public what kind of far-left, radical ideology she will be ruling the nation with if they were to win in November. As a congressman, and when he was first elected governor in 2018, Walz seemed to be a moderate Democrat who could work with Republicans due to the fact that they controlled at least one part of the federal and state governments. However, when Democrats took control of all branches of the Minnesota State government, his true progressive side began to show. He has enshrined abortion up until the point of birth in the State Constitution, mandated DEI education policies for all students starting at the age of 5, and mandated that racial records be kept by the public school system on students who are being held in detention for misbehaving. In 2020, he sat by and watched Minneapolis burn as protesters, arsonists, and murderers were bailed out by Kamala Harris. Finally, Walz did what liberal do best: raised taxes on anything and everything. Gas, sales, payroll, car licenses, and online delivery taxes all went up to pay for Walz uncontrolled spending. The Harris/Walz ticket is a Godsend for liberals like AOC and Chuck Schumer, but if elected, marks the beginning of the end for the United States as we know it.  You can read our full press release here.

Conservative Party Convention/Reception Featuring Jim Jordan

On Saturday, August 17th the New York State Conservative Party will officially nominate Donald J. Trump and J.D. Vance as our candidates to be the next President and Vice President of the United States. In years past our party has garnard over 300,000 votes for the Trump ticket, and this year we expect to give even more. The democratic ticket will usher in a new wave of liberalism in our country that will make radicals like AOC proud. The Trump-Vance ticket will bring more traditional values that Americans have been longing for since the election of Joe Biden.

The Convention will be held at The Cottage at The Milleridge Inn in Nassau County, located at 585 N Broadway, Jericho, NY 11753, and is free and open to the public. Registration starts at 1:15pm. Our candidate for U.S. Senate, Mike Sapraicone, will speak about his campaign and address the audience. Immediately following the convention, we will have our National Affairs Reception with a wonderful dinner and open bar. Our guest of honor, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) will be our speaker and officially accept the nomination of President Trump on his behalf. Members of Congress and local officials will be in attendance. While the convention is free, we encourage you to sign up or call our Brooklyn HQ for more information at 718-921-2158. Tickets for the reception are $500, and you can purchase a ticket using this link here. This will be a monumental occasion, with like minded conservative leaders, dignitaries, committee members, and many more. We hope you can join us in support of our next President! 

Patriots Podium featuring Rep. Lee Zeldin

This week, I had the honor of speaking with Former Congressman and Gubernatorial Candidate Lee Zeldin of Long Island on our new edition of Patriots Podium. Lee Zeldin has represented conservative values in the State Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives for over 10 years. Lee is currently one of the nation’s leading conservative voices, and has been campaigning all over the Country with President Trump. Together we talked about Harris’ choice of VP, his prime time address at the RNC, J.D. Vance, Zeldin Cares, and even his plans for the 2026 elections. We want to thank Lee for everything he has done for the Conservative Party, our State, and the Nation as a whole. We know he will continue to do great work to spread our message, activate volunteers, and do everything in his power to get Donald Trump elected this November.

9/11 Mastermind Strikes Plea Deal

The revelation that the mastermind of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), along with two other terrorists held in Guantánamo Bay, will be spared the death penalty under a plea deal is a profound insult to the victims and heroes of that tragic day. For nearly 24 years, families of the victims have waited with heavy hearts for justice to be served, with many believing that death was the only fitting punishment for those responsible for such unspeakable acts of terror. This decision undermines the sacrifices made by countless individuals and sends a troubling message about our resolve to hold accountable those who perpetrate heinous crimes against our nation. The decision not only fails to deliver the justice long sought by the families but also diminishes the memory of the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost on that fateful day. September 11th families, and New Yorkers deserve justice, and the Biden administration is standing in the way. While not directly involved in the actual negotiation being conducted by his subordinates in the military, the Administration had made a strong point that the Guantanamo Bay detention facility needed to be closed by the end of Biden’s term. This deal is an integral part of the commitment made by Biden and has been referenced repeatedly in recent days as Americans try to make some sense out of what happened. Harris should have come out immediately against negotiating with terrorists. Of course, she will never distance herself from everyday liberal Biden who she is best described as being to the left of him. President Trump took about ten seconds to register his anger. He would never have negotiated and was working towards a resolution through a military authorized death penalty for terrorists when he left office. You can read the full article here. 

Olympics

The 2024 Olympic introduction, which drag queens shamelessly mocked Christianity and the Last Supper on the world stage, was a blatant display of disrespect towards a faith held dear by billions. Such disregard for religious sensibilities is deeply troubling and sets a concerning precedent. Here in the U.S. we see the left’s vitriol against Christians and Jews alike, and the New York State Conservative Party will not stand for it. You can read our full press release on the “Drag Queen Last Supper” here. Moreover, the decision to allow a male competitor, with significantly higher testosterone levels, to fight in a women’s boxing match led to a dangerous and unfair outcome. After just 46 seconds and a few hits to the face, Carini, an excellent boxer from Italy, was forced to forfeit the fight due to being overpowered. This situation is utterly unacceptable and highlights the serious risks posed to women in the name of inclusion. Prioritizing ideological agendas over safety and fairness undermines the integrity of women’s sports and endangers female athletes. I’ll be rooting for the U.S. Olympic Team with all my heart, but with the television off. Blatant sacrilege doesn’t deserve an audience.

2024 Conservative Party Convention

Trump to be the Conservative Party candidate for President in New York State, where we expect him to garner over 320,000 votes this November.

Immediately after the convention, Congressman Jim Jordan will be accepting the nomination on behalf of President Trump and soon-to-be Vice President J.D. Vance at our “National Affairs Reception Fundraiser” which will take place from 4:30 to 6:30 pm at the same location. Other members of Congress and local officials will also be in attendance.

This week, I had the honor of attending the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Here is a recap of the week’s extraordinary events.

Day 1: We Have a Nominee

On Monday afternoon, Trump announced his Vice President, and news of his pick quickly filled the stadium where the voting was taking place. Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio was chosen as the rightful pick, putting forward a new visionary for American politics. Americans need another Trump presidency to stem the tide of liberalism that the Biden Administration represents, and J.D. Vance is a person who will fight for working class Americans who have not had their voices heard for the last four years. You can read our full press release on soon-to-be Vice President Vance here:

The New York delegation, including Rep. Elise Stefanik, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, and Rep. Mike Lawler were also there to represent conservative politics. Rep. Stefanik had the honor of declaring all of New York’s 91 delegates had voted for President Trump. During the final speech of the evening, Senator Vance, Rep. Lawler and Rep. Malliotakis were hailed as heroes by Teamsters Union President, Sean O’Brien, saying that they are “elected officials who truly care about working people.”

Finally, at the end of the night, Donald Trump made his triumphant return after Saturday’s assassination attempt. With the crowds chanting his name and telling him to fight on, Trump seemed grateful, both for the love his supporters give him and his new lease on life.

Days 2 & 3: Make America Safe and Strong Again

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R/C-NY) took to the stage on day two to acknowledge that this is the most important election of our lifetime and “our constitution and the soul of our very nation are on the ballot.” Gov. Ron DeSantis, put forward the Trump agenda, calling for common sense changes to protect the border, the economy, and Americans as a whole. Nikki Haley called for unity, saying that she may not agree with everything Trump stands for or wants to do, but she agrees more often than she disagrees, and therefore, “for the sake of our nation, we have to go with Donald Trump.” You can view our full press release on night two here:

The NYS Conservative Party was thrilled that New York’s very own Lee Zeldin, had a prime-time speaking spot on night three of the convention. After almost unseating Governor Kathy Hochul in a deep blue state, Lee’s message echoed across the Country. He brought his enthusiasm to Milwaukee and knocked it out of the park. To be frank, I can’t think of another political leader with a brighter future than Lee. You can read our full press release on night three here.

Finally, at the end of night three, we heard from the next Vice President, J.D. Vance. First, Vance introduced himself to the country. Many people outside of Ohio had no idea who this freshman senator was; on Wednesday, that changed. Vance, whose life story truly symbolizes the American dream, is the perfect person to represent America. Strategically, Vance revealed what he brought to the campaign: the Midwest. Many times throughout his speech he mentioned Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin. These are must-win states for the Trump campaign, and with an Ohioan on the ticket, the campaign has an extra advantage on Biden.

Day 4: Make America Great Once Again

Today, President Trump took to the stage in his highly anticipated speech. His 92-minute speech set the record for the longest nomination speech, during which he portrayed confidence, strength, and hope for the future. The President started by recalling the tragic events that happened last weekend and brought out the uniform of Corey Comperatore, asking for a moment of silence for his memory. The President made a pledge to the nation. He will end inflation, bring down interest rates, and lower energy costs. He will never stop fighting for us, repeating that this movement is not about him, but about the American people. When Trump returns to the White House in January, America will come first once again.

The last four days have been an experience I will never forget, never before have Conservatives and Republicans ever been so united behind a presidential candidate. This November we make the choice between America First and America Last. Today we stand behind, and fully endorse the next President and Vice President of the United States of America: Donald J. Trump and J.D. Vance. You can read our full press release on night four here.

Help Trump and the Conservative Party

As election day draws near, we see time and time again that liberal policies are failing, and New Yorkers are taking notice. We are working to raise money for our campaign operations; help the Conservative Party fund its candidates for President, Congress, State Legislature, and local offices by supporting our efforts. Early money in a campaign is the most important funding in a campaign cycle. By working together, we can create a solid campaign budget for November’s elections. Your support would be greatly appreciated. You can donate by following this link here.

Independence Day

This week, the greatest nation on earth turns 248 years old. The New York State Conservative Party takes immense pride in honoring the significance of this remarkable day in our nation’s history–July 4th. On behalf of our members and supporters, we extend our warmest greetings and best wishes for a patriotic Fourth of July. 

In 1776, at the Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia, 56 patriots risked their lives, boldly putting forward the idea that thirteen colonies could break away from the largest empire on the planet. Two and a half centuries later, we still believe “that all men are created equal, [and] that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Every Independence Day, among the hot dogs, hamburgers, and fireworks, we remember the spirit of America and her freedom that was ignited by our founding fathers and still lives on in each and every one of us. While we sometimes take it for granted, today we remember that America is the greatest country in the world. We as a nation cherish the individual freedoms, personal responsibility, and limited government that the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution gives to us. Written in 1787, and still, our Constitution stands as the bedrock of our nation, and is acknowledged around the world as a beacon of Democracy. These values have formed the America we know and love today. 

In honor of Independence Day, I ask you to renew your commitment to preserving an American legacy for the years to come. President Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, “History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or timid.” Today, let us teach our children how to be great Americans, striving to uphold and defend the principles that make America the greatest country in the world, because here, freedom, opportunity, and justice are not just a dream, but an attainable reality. 

As we honor the birth of our great nation, we wish every American a joyous and meaningful Independence Day. May God bless you, your families, and the United States of America.
