Since Governor Cuomo created JCOPE in his first term, isn’t it obvious this is exactly what he wanted?  Remember the Moreland Commission?  Cuomo calls state watchdog ethics panel JCOPE ‘meaningless.’ The Emperor is invincible in his own eyes.  His passion is to do something his father, Mario, couldn’t do — win a fourth term.  The emperor, who has done everything possible to blind us with a perfect aura around his warts, will deservedly fail and his legacy will be the same as the meaningless commissions he created to fool the public.  The people who have not fled New York’s high taxes, out-of-control crime, failing public schools, a Legislature that abdicated its responsibility, and other major problems that vitiate our quality of live, will speak loud and clear to save our state on November 8, 2022.  New Yorkers have a message to Governor Andrew Cuomo:  fool me once shame on you fool, me twice shame on me.

Fauci Says It Would Have Been a ‘Dereliction of Our Duty’ Not to Work with China on Coronavirus Research; to which I say, Dr. Fauci, it is a dereliction of duty to collaborate with Chinese scientists who are beholden to the communist government determined to destroy the United States of America.  You are a disgrace to your profession, in fact, you are a disgrace to humanity if you truly believe that collaborating with the Chinese scientists was the right action to take.  China’s goal is to rule the world…and what we have seen is terrifying.

Dr. Fauci is addicted to publicity and probably cannot help him self when he makes outlandish statement like this: “Fauci can’t say whether WHO is infected by China’s political influence but can say that New York, the COVID mecca of the US with the most deaths and infections, handled the crisis right.”  If New York handled it right, who handled it wrong – Vermont the least number in the contiguous states?

With all of Governor Cuomo’s warts, only 41% want him to resign; 5% points higher than April’s results.  What shocks me most about the Siena Poll is that those polled support Cuomo handling of the pandemic 58% to 35% even though 67% thought he only did a fair or poor job making public the nursing home COIVD-19 related deaths (doing so would have damaged his $5.1 million book deal).  I do not understand how the responders think he did a good (58%) job when 67% of the same responders believe the reporting of the data of COVID-19 nursing homes deaths was poor.  How can they absolve Andrew Cuomo’s sending nursing home patients back to their nursing home knowing his responsibility was protecting the elderly and also knowing COVID-19 was akin to “fire through dry grass.”

Poor Joe Biden, when he isn’t caving to the progressive left by selling out our allies, he is upset that some just don’t get his “sense of humor.”  President Biden has been plagued by accusations of plagiarism throughout his career and it seems as if he and his speech writers continue down that same path today.

Unfortunately for the free world, President Biden is putting pressure on the wrong person in the Middle East.  As the NY Sun points out Mr. Biden “conveyed to the Prime Minister (Benjamin Netanyahu) that he expected a significant de-escalation today on the path to a ceasefire.”  Read President Biden’s War here.  Then read Larry Kudlow’s Changing on Israel, Democrats Turn Toward Iran and ask yourself, does President Joe Biden put America’s interest first, or has he completely capitulated to the progressives?  On his current course how would he respond to the tragic, horrific events of September 11, 2001?  How safe do you feel knowing President Joe Biden expects Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to de-escalate?  Hamas is the terrorist organization, is it any wonder that Netanyahu brushes off Biden call for ‘significant de-escalation’ in Gaza, says Israel ‘determined to continue’

We will be ruled by lies and power while being told we’re progressing toward truth and justice. We’re in an open war, ideologically speaking.
