“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

Statement by New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on Additionally Targeted Congressional Democrats in New York
Brooklyn, NY – “The announcement that four additional New York Democrats in Congress are being targeted by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) in the 2022 midterm elections is welcome news to New Yorkers who care about the unsustainable growth of government in Washington and the Democratic Party’s alarming march toward socialism.
“The NRCC doesn’t add targets lightly: only 10 additional seats have been added nationally for 2022, and four of them are in New York — NY-4 (Kathleen Rice); NY-20 (Paul Tonko); NY-25 (Joe Morelle), and NY-26 (Brian Higgins). Already targeted by the NRCC were NY-3 (Tom Suozzi); NY-18 (Sean Patrick Maloney), and NY-19 (Anthony Delgado) bringing the 2022 target list to seven in New York.
“The new targeted seats have come about in part because of New York’s loss of yet another congressional seat to other states, and the consequent redistricting that will take place. That speaks volumes. New York’s steady loss of population and political significance in Washington is a direct result of failed liberal policies in New York over a period of decades.
“The New York State Conservative Party expects many more competitive congressional races in New York next year, but the fact that the NRCC has identified seven with which it will be substantially involved should tell New Yorkers that Republicans and Conservatives continue to believe in this state. Change is possible whenever superior candidates and ideas are presented to voters, and that will be the case in 2022.
What could possibly go wrong…besides everything. Cornell partners with Cuomo administration to develop citizen COVID-19 training. What is wrong with Cornell? Do they not read the papers? Are they unaware that the Cuomo Administration is under investigation for their handling of COVID-19? I really worry what the citizen COVID-19 training would include; has Cornell forgotten history or have they scrubbed the atrocities that occurred prior to WWII?
While I am on my soapbox, I must ask, what is wrong with these women? ‘Cuomosexuals’ form Facebook fan group, flood state hotline. I can’t help but ask if Ghislaine Maxwell would be considered a hero by them? How can they have such little regard for the women – who worked for Cuomo – didn’t meet him in a bar while out and could control the situation – that they urge their members to confront the accusers on-line. If any of them have daughters, is this how they want their daughters treated? I am a woman who has worked for many an Italian man; they never treated me with the disrespect Cuomo treated his employees with. These women who belong to this Facebook group and its offshoots are enablers of men who believe they are so charming that they can do as they please to any woman. No man and for that matter, no woman should ever be able to take advantage of another human being under any circumstances.
Governor Cuomo and his followers must realize he truly has a problem when the Times Union, who has followed his career for ages writes this editorial: Mr. Cuomo’s duplicity.
It is a shallow, self-absorbed person who takes credit for accomplishments others have achieved. Joe Biden has a long history of plagiarism (Echoes of Biden’s 1987 plagiarism scandal continue to reverberate; Joe Biden’s Plagiarism Problem) so the reality of his taking credit for the successful COVID-19 vaccine should not shock anyone. It does however, remind us that President Joe Biden puts himself before every American who appreciates what America has accomplished in her short 245 year history. It also reminds us that President Joe Biden’s call for unity on January 20, 2021 was an empty ploy designed for headlines that the fawning mainstream media could not wait to shout from the roof tops.
By the way, let us be perfectly clear, the proposed American Families Plan is nothing more than a strategy to indoctrinate your children at the youngest age possible while lying to the public when it says free college – their children and grandchildren will be paying for their college bill.

Statement by New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar
Brooklyn, NY — “Andrew Cuomo looks crooked to the core in his multi-million-dollar Covid-19 book scheme. It is impossible to believe that proceeds from the book — reported to be in the range of $4 million — had no bearing on his administration’s hiding of the Covid nursing home death data during the weeks in which his book advance was being negotiated with a publisher.
“Today’s startling New York Times exposé, revealing that top Cuomo staff members and Department of Health employees conspired to conceal accurate death data for a period of five months, leaves little doubt that something cynical, well beyond politics, was afoot.
“Governor Cuomo was given a lucrative book contract because of his carefully constructed image as a leader in the early days of the pandemic. Had the real numbers been released, that image would have been shattered. Denials from his administration that the book had no relevance simply don’t pass the smell test.
“By following the money, the truth is revealing itself.”
The NY Post notes in today’s editorial: Cuomo signals that nothing will get him to resign. “This was Cuomo unmasked — no more Mr. Nice Gov. Having decided he couldn’t dodge the press forever; he decided to slander his accusers and make it clear that nothing would get him out of office.”
Let’s hope his backbone has strengthen since the last time he indicated he was with his constituents, before the progressives really put the pressure on him: Manchin pumps brakes on Biden infrastructure plans

Statement by New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on Losing a Congressional Seat
Brooklyn, NY — “New York’s loss of yet another congressional seat shows what more than a half century of unbridled liberalism, with few bright spots, will do to a former political and economic powerhouse. And progressives in Albany, under single-party rule, are only getting started — if common-sense New Yorkers don’t stop them first.
“In 1951, boasting 45 representatives in Congress and an economy that was the envy of the nation, ‘The Empire State’ nickname was confidently affixed to all New York license plates for the first time. How should our license plates read now that we’re down to 26 — ‘The Dwindling State?’ ‘The Dopey State?’ It’s a legitimate question.
“New York’s continuing loss of political representation — clout — in Washington doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It has serious consequences for struggling New York families. Is it any wonder, for example, that New York finds itself the largest donor state to Washington in 2021, with a negative balance of nearly $23 billion? Is it any wonder we’ve had to beg Washington for infrastructure loans as our roads and bridges crumble? This is what happens when a state doesn’t matter as much as it once did because its people and jobs have been chased away.
“This loss is the direct result of seventy years of mostly bad policy making in Albany, shortsighted policies that have sent countless families and businesses to other parts of the country. More than a million New Yorkers have left the state under Governor Andrew Cuomo’s tenure alone. Meanwhile, other states such as Florida and Texas, which have enacted conservative economic policies, continue to prosper politically and economically.
“The New York State Conservative Party has been unwavering in its advocacy for smarter policy making since 1962. We continue to remind New Yorkers that they have a choice to make: Keep doing the same things and watch our state continue to atrophy, or get back in the game with new, forward-looking, common sense leaders in Albany. The choice is clear. What we have now simply isn’t working.”
Andrew Cuomo Earned $225,000 Last Year and Is Highest Paid Governor in American History. Your tax dollars pay his salary. California pays Newsome $201,680, while Florida’s DeSantis earns $130,273. A complete list of what governors earn (as of 2018) is here. (By the way, Florida has not increased the governor’s salary since 2010 according to the chart; is it any wonder why people are moving to Florida in droves?)
Parents are you sure you know what your children are being taught? From the Daily Signal: Biden Administration Wants Schools to Teach Prejudice. Here’s What Parents Should Know. “This week, the U.S. Department of Education announced that officials are preparing to use taxpayer money for K-12 schools to advocate the idea that America is systemically racist, and anyone who thinks differently, children included, are part of the problem—whether students know it or not.”
Biden Says He’s Praying for ‘Right Verdict’ in Chauvin Trial, Claims ‘Evidence Is Overwhelming.’ “Evidence is overwhelming?” Was he a juror or is President Biden relying on what has been reported by a press who interprets it for readers or reporters? Unless you are glued to cable watching every minute of the broadcast, one really should not say the “evidence is overwhelming.” Like President Biden, many people (including me) believe the video tape that has portrayed a very disturbing death, believe George Floyd’s death should not have happened; however, we also do not know the complete set of circumstances. Mr. Floyd is dead and Mr. Chauvin must live with that fact for the rest of his life.

It is disgraceful President Biden that would have her in your administration. From the WSJ (subscription required) The Ambassador of Blame America First.
The Conservative Party does not agree with Speaker Pelosi an 99.9% of what Ms. Pelosi stands for in Congress. However, as the saying goes, even a broken clock is right twice a day. On this one issue, we believe the Speaker is right. Pelosi rejects fellow Democrats’ ‘court-packing’ bill, will not bring it to vote. We sincerely hope that whatever the Biden created bipartisan commission on Supreme Court reform decides, Ms. Pelosi will stand firm in not supporting it either since it is stacked with partisans despite being labeled “bipartisan.”
It is during times like these that we must remember the words of the late Barry Goldwater’s acceptance speech as the republican candidate for president in 1964:
“The growing menace in our country tonight, to personal safety, to life, to limb and property, in homes, in churches, on the playgrounds and places of business, particularly in our great cities, is the mounting concern, or should be, of every thoughtful citizen in the United States. Security from domestic violence, no less than from foreign aggression, is the most elementary and fundamental purpose of any government, and a government that cannot fulfill this purpose is one that cannot long command the loyalty of its citizens.
“History shows us, demonstrates that nothing– nothing– prepares the way for tyranny more than the failure of public officials to keep the streets safe from bullies and marauders.”
“Now, we Republicans see all this as more–much more–than the result of mere political differences, or mere political mistakes. We see this as the result of a fundamentally and absolutely wrong view of man, his nature, and his destiny.
“Their mistaken course stems from false notions, ladies and gentlemen, of equality. Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.
“It is, further, the cause of Republicanism to restore a clear understanding of the tyranny of man over man in the world at large. It is our cause to dispel the foggy thinking which avoids hard decisions in the delusion that a world of conflict will somehow resolve itself into a world of harmony, if we just don’t rock the boat or irritate the forces of aggression–and this is hogwash.”
As we all know, Senator Goldwater lost in a landslide to Lyndon B. Johnson, who went on to usher into America government programs that were designed to placate the unrest and injustices America was facing. Today, fifty-seven years later, we face worsening unrest and yes, there is still some injustices; but the generations that have followed have made great strides to make certain that everyone is guaranteed the right to life, liberty and happiness. That every American has an equal opportunity does not mean that every American has the voice of an angel, the ability to be on a major league sports team, the creator of a multimillion dollar App or to take an idea and turn it into Amazon, Facebook or Google. It is time every American stands up for the American Dream: The opportunity to build a dream, not destroy others because you do not have what they worked so hard for. It isn’t easy, ask David Hogg who had the opportunity to start Good Pillow in February, 2021 and walked away in April. 2021.
These are difficult times; but we are Americans, we have pulled together before and we will now.
Joy Pullmann opines in The Federalist that the Americans who complain about America should be appreciative that they live in America.
The American Spectator writes about Daunte Wright’s death…while tragic — every death by unnatural means is appalling and unfortunate — and an alarming mistake was made, it could have been different.
