“We’re not the United States of Denial. We have never been a nation that has excelled because we refused to admit the problem,” he added.  This was said by Governor Andrew Cuomo yesterday and it is just one of the most outrageous things he has ever said.  Andrew Cuomo is in a constant state of denial, proven yet again with the release of the “investigation” into the deaths of over 6,000 Mom, Dads, Grandparents and siblings confined in nursing homes.  He has no shame at all.  He keeps silent on the surge of crime (as if the social justice reforms he demanded has nothing to do with the surge), he keeps silent on when or if schools will reopen in September, silent on how he intends to enforce quarantines from visitors from hotspots, yet, he does not keep silent on what a great job he thinks he is doing (of course, the media has practically anointed him a modern day god) and if anyone thinks this man is not running for president, they are living in La-La Land.  We ask again, how can the Commissioner who issued the March 25 mandate, investigate himself?  Denial!  No moral compass! Incapable of admitting they (Governor and Commissioner) made a mistake.  If Governor Cuomo and Commissioner Zucker believed they had not made a major error, why did they rescind the memo on May 10, 2020.  It is disgraceful that Commissioner Zucker – and Gov. Cuomo – have placed the blame on the men and women who, while underpaid, have devoted their lives to taking care of our elderly.  We will continue to fight for the truth and vow that it will never happen again under our watch.

The Big Test of Electoral College Is Yet to Come.   It never ceases to amaze me how some news organizations grab your attention.  For example:  Electoral College voters can be forced to back state popular vote winners, Supreme Court says.  Forced?  They made a pledge — that many people from both sides of the political world — would be proud to make.  How is that forced?

Ken Blackwell writes about Lawlessness, The Murder of Our Children and The Soul of America.

We hope you all had a safe and happy 4^th of July, certainly if you heard President Donald Trump at Mount Rushmore you were proud to be an American.  In case you missed it, you can watch it here.  Of course, if you only read the main stream media’s reporting on the speech, you would wonder if they were listening to the same speech.  The Wall Street Journal (subscription required) had this to say, “Contrary to the media reporting, the America Mr. Trump described is one of genuine racial equality and diversity. He highlighted the central ideal of the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal.” As he rightly put it, “these immortal words set in motion the unstoppable march of freedom” that included the abolition of slavery more than a half century later.  Rojer Kimball had this to say in American Greatness:  A Magnificent Speech

Unfortunately, far too many people have decided to ignore the history of America; the way we embrace differences and do our best to undo the faults of our beginnings.  Today, the calls to “cancel” ring loud and frenzied, without thought, without understanding the importance of knowing how far we have come.  In Rochester, NY, a local hero, Fredrick Douglass who gave one of the most important anti-slavery speeches prior to the civil war, had one of the statues the city built to honor his memory, destroyed.  Read more about what happened here.  We cannot let the forces determined to destroy the greatest nation ever created, the one nation that people still plea to become a citizen of, win by dividing America.

“Our valiant police officers have one of the most perilous, stressful duties around, and from what I have seen in my nearly dozen years here, they do it with care, compassion and competence,” said Timothy Cardinal Dolan over the weekend.  We couldn’t agree more.  Thank you, Cardinal Dolan, for speaking out on behalf of our police officers.

For those who thought that the US Supreme Court wouldn’t have a unanimous decision for a long time; today’s was.

Yesterday, Conservatives were disappointed in the US Supreme Court ruling striking down a reasonable safety concern to protect women during an abortion (of course, we would rather end all abortions since we are committed to protecting the lives of innocent unborn children).  Today, we applaud the US Supreme Court’s decision that struck down the ban on taxpayer’s funding of religious schools.  The Conservative Party has urged New York State to adopt a tax credit scholarship program that would give a tax credit for donating to private scholarship organizations.  This US Supreme Court decision eliminates the flawed reasoning the democratic controlled legislature always hung their hat on.

The Empire Center writes that Nursing Home Vacancy Rate Soars, Hinting at a Higher Coronavirus Toll.  Sobering news and all the more reason New Yorkers need an independent investigation.  “That 13-point increase suggests that the total number of nursing home residents across the state, which is normally about 100,000, had declined by roughly 13,000 in the space of nine weeks.”

Words of wisdom from Walter E. Williams.  (I cannot understand why the media – and fawning elected officials – pay more attention to Al Sharpton, than Walter E. Williams, and so many other outstanding African-Americans who celebrate the United States of America and the fact that the USA corrects its misguided past.)

Governor Andrew Cuomo has been all over the media saying the criticism he has been under regarding his handling the nursing home crisis in New York State is political.   Pro-Publica is not a right-leaning publication, and Salon actually leans to the left, yet Pro-Publica first wrote this on June 16, 2020 and Salon.com reprinted it on June 20, 2020.  On May 12, 2020 the NY Post ran this article that notes long-time democratic chairman of the NYS Assembly Health Committee, Richard Gottfried, was leading the call for an investigation into the nursing home crisis.  Governor Cuomo, who during his pressers on COVID-19 stressed he wasn’t the least bit political, says the criticism of him is all political, yet here are only 3 articles, again hardly conservative or republican, that call him to task.  What say you now, Governor?

Governor, have you not studied Shakespeare’s Hamlet?  Obviously, you do not remember Queen Gertrude’s line “The lady doth protest too much, methinks”.  Gov. Cuomo blames sick nursing home staffers for infecting residents.

We know the answer to this, don’t we.  Will Andrew Cuomo Take Responsibility?  (Only if his political life depends on it, but Emperor Cuomo hasn’t realized that his political life does depend on it…and it is over!)

The Democrats are really doing all they can to undermine the upcoming November elections.  I will acknowledge that playing the “game” of politics is a very rough sport, certainly not for the fainthearted.  But, lately, the lies and false accusations are bordering on the line of libel.  Governor Andrew Cuomo has steadfastly noted he does not want to run for President (in 2020) but this interview paints a very different picture.  The man is poisoning the jury pool by repeating the mantra that President Trump will not leave the White House if elected.  Time to, not only drain the swamp, it must also be disinfected.

Schumer shows that politics trumps what is right in his world:  Schumer signals that Democrats will block GOP police reform bill.

In case you missed Saturday’s NY Post editorial:  Andrew Cuomo’s big lie on nursing homes and the Post  that ends with this: “No, the real question is how many died ­because of Zucker’s order. And the point of Cuomo’s desperate lies is to stop New Yorkers from asking it.”

True to form: Gov. Cuomo ends over 100 days of coronavirus briefings with tribute to himself.

Another good opinion piece in Saturday’s NY Post:  Call them The 1619 riots, that ends appropriately with this:  “America is not systemically racist, but is a republic devoted, however imperfectly, to the truth that all men are created equal.”  (In case you are not familiar with the reference to the 1619, here is the New York Times Magazine’s The 1619 Project.)

In a reference to the NY Times inability to carry a diverse opinion in their paper,  David Harsanyi opines in today’s NY Post that “Words are violence” is an illiberal notion meant to stifle speech. Popularized by a generation of coddled college kids, it now guides the editorial pages of major newspapers.”

With colleges so far to the left and revising history perhaps the time has come to Let’s Defund Our Universities.

Stephen Eide makes a great point in his Op-Ed column: Can’t replace policing with social services that don’t do what they’re supposed to,  especially in the last sentence — “#DefundthePolice would have us hamstring a vital public service — only to swell the budgets of failed programs already gorged with taxpayer cash.”

You Can’t Learn From a History That’s Been Deleted, but that doesn’t stop the cancel culture from wanting to remove statutes from museums and public squares. More on the Museum of Natural History’s plan to remove President Roosevelt’s statute here.   Surprise, surprise!  NOT.  Cuomo, de Blasio support Natural History Museum removal of Roosevelt statue.  The panders say Roosevelt should go, but New York’s  emperor said Columbus can’t go.  Hmm, might there be a bit of prejudice from the emperor?  Apparently, what is good for the goose (Roosevelt), isn’t good for the gander (Columbus.)  BTW, we do not think either should be removed; if you don’t understand, learn, or care about history, you will be doomed to repeat it.

The news from the US Supreme Court was another disappointment to those of us who respect the rule of law, even though they did not rule on the legality of DACA itself.  National Review explains the decision here:  SCOTUS Blocks Trump’s Attempt to End DACA.  “In dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas, joined Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, wrote that DACA was illegal from its inception (emphasis added by cpnys.)  Justice Brett Kavanaugh also explains his dissent in the linked article.   Most everyone has sympathy for children who had no control over their lives when brought here illegally by their parents, however, executive orders are not how to resolve the issue.  Congress is still charged with writing the laws of our great nation.

Can’t help but wonder if this will end up in the US Supreme Court also:  Trump-Administration Rule Would Undo Obama Policy Allowing Biological Males into Women’s Shelters

Another very disappointing decision was made by the Quaker Oats Company when it announced that they are “retiring” their Aunt Jemima brand because it is ‘based on a racial stereotype.’  Cowards.  They obviously do not know who Aunt Jemima came to be the face of their pancake mix and syrup.  It is a great tribute to a woman who was born a slave and rose to fame and fortune.  Let me mimic Paul Harvey for a moment with here is the rest of the story.  (Perhaps all the modern-day athletes, who enjoy the fruits of branding, should be thanking Nancy Green…and tell Quaker Oats they are kowtowing to those who are ignorant of history.)  Fortunately for all of us, Sherrie Williams, was diligent in letting is know the rest of the story.

Another knee-jerk reaction by an elected official…he certainly deserves the egg on her face.  By the way, Schaaf won the November 4, 2014 Oakland mayoral election in the 14th round in ranked choice voting with 62.79% of the vote.  NYC, this is your future since you voted for rank choice elections.

Unfortunately, this may be New York’s future if it remains under complete democratic control:  Taxes, taxes, and more taxes. Lawmakers Want to Tax the Rich to Fix Pandemic Battered Economy  and  Legislators Unite for People-Centered Recovery.

Between the above and this, it truly is time to sound the alarm that every elected official must be strong and say enough is enough…we cannot sustain the spending levels that everyone seems to be powerless to say no to.

“Criminals sense weakness and exploit it.”

If they only knew the real Gov. Cuomo they wouldn’t be so quick to consider this:  Dems would swap Biden for Cuomo, poll says: Switch basement Grandpa with guy who killed Grandpas.  Dems need a strong personality (certainly not Joe Biden) to be their candidate and they think they have one in Andrew Cuomo.  All they have to do is listen to his double talk in his daily pressers and they will note that his self-praise is nauseating and while, like his daddy, Mario, he says one thing in a sentence and 20 seconds later, he contradicts what he just said.  Listen for yourself here.

It is important to know that this judge – Springing a cop-attacking looter: one judge’s new low – was appointed, not elected, to the bench by Mayor DeBlasio.  And, if my math is close, she is approximately 66 years old (graduating from Brandeis University in 1976) which means this ultra-liberal judge has a minimum of 4 years to continue to use her “judicial discretion” to not remand the worst of the worst.
