Build Back Never/Inflation is eroding Joe Biden’s ability to deliver on his main legislative achievement in office

Nikki Haley explains in a NY Post Op-Ed How conservatives will make America affordable again.

Parents are ‘sleeping giants’ who will fix American education.  If you live in NYS, outside of NYC, May 17 is School Board Elections Day.  This is when you can vote on the budget and more importantly, vote for the members of the school board.  It is your chance to make a difference and start to take back the curriculum your child is learning.  Grandparents: get out and vote in the school board elections!  Research who is running and if they have been on the school board for years, make certain they are doing what is right for your grandchild, if not, boot them out.  Gender Transition Closets May Be Coming to a School Near You.

Democrats are hitching their hopes on the wrong issue; Schumer Show Vote on Radical Abortion Bill Goes Down in Flames and Gov. Hochul panders on abortion as New York burns.  This article in the Tampa Bay Times does a pretty good job explaining that it is not the issue that will be the deciding factor in the 2022 elections.  The advances made in medical science that clearly shows a fully formed baby at 12 weeks is changing how people think about abortions.  And if they read this Your Pregnancy: Baby’s Week By Week Progress, it will change more minds.  As this article notes Post-Dobbs Democrats are desperate to discuss anything but abortion.

Republicans demand Biden admin immediately address baby formula shortage: ‘This is not a third world country’/’This is a crisis for families,’ said one lawmaker.

The NY Post editorial points out that Gov. Hochul’s ‘no message’ agenda is really about her and is anything but “no message.”

Hochul: $35M set aside for bolstering New York abortion services.  “The money, taken from a fund within the state Department of Health, is being drawn on in anticipation of an expected influx of women seeking abortion services in New York if abortion policy returns to state governments.  “…Hochul announced $25 million would be used for abortion providers to expand their infrastructure and capacity. An additional $10 million would be used to boost security around the facilities, Hochul said.”  Gov. Hochul’s plan disgraceful on so many counts.  First and foremost, why is an expected influx of women seeking abortion services in New York, other than the fact that New York allows abortions right up to the moments before birth.  It is shameful that New York would encourage non-New Yorkers to take advantage of New York’s law.  Second, it is outrageous that pro-life New Yorkers tax dollars will be used to for such nefarious abortions.  Thirdly, if the money is being taken from a fund within the state DOH, what was the original purpose of those funds?  Since the money is being removed and provided to abortion providers to expand their infrastructure and capacity, the $35 million, obviously are expendable funds, so the question is what were they doing in the state DOH budget in the first place?  Why can Governor Hochul, or for that matter, any NYS Governor, arbitrarily transfer tax dollars to placate their political impulses?

Delgado, said at National Action Network’s rally this weekend with Al Sharpton that “… there is no world where we can square going backwards in this way with our commitment as a country to progress …”  If progress is aborting the life of an innocent child about to be born, polls show he is quite mistaken.  He and his progressive compatriots are pushing for New York to become a sanctuary state for abortion and want your tax dollars to pay for travel and the abortion; they will be in for a rude awakening as medical science has changed the narrative.  (See Chairman Kassar’s statement here.)

An interesting article by James Piereson and Naomi Schaefer Riley in City-Journal:  Dazed and Confused/Remote learning has created a population of college students in dire need of remedial education.   The article notes that “If the past is any guide, colleges will try to accommodate struggling students by requiring less work from them. They will lower expectations in the name of saving students from the stress and anxiety of failing. They will offer higher grades in the name of equity. Some of the professors interviewed for the Chronicle story said that they would do more “hands on” or experiential learning because those kinds of classes get students more “engaged.” But these approaches merely pass students along, without addressing the underlying problem.”  Stating this, isn’t it obvious why some, not all, students are dazed and confused since their whole educational life they have been coddled; never receiving red marks on their papers and certainly not allowing students to fail.

And since the state Independent Redistricting Commission also failed to follow the Constitution, the maps for the state Senate and Assembly must also be redone.”

The BIG news yesterday was that a panel of five mid-level appellate judges the majority found the congressional map was unconstitutional — a decision that, if upheld, would block the use of those district lines for the upcoming midterm elections in November.  Essentially, this is a huge win for all New Yorkers since the judges ruled the 2022 congressional map itself “was drawn to discourage competition and favor Democrats.”  The case heads to the Court of Appeals, most likely next week. National Review reports the win here.  Chairman Kassar’s statement on the ruling can be read here. The ruling can be read here.
