Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan has an Op-Ed in the State of Politics blog site and it clearly lays out the importance of keeping the NYS Senate in Republican/Conservative hands. Naysayers will say it is self-serving, it isn’t, what it is, is an honest assessment of what will happen to New York State if the democrats have control of the Executive and Legislative branches of government.  Please take the time to read it, Sen. Flanagan is sincere when he says “We will be the balance in the face of the Governor and his leftist allies.”  We are doing all we can to elect Marc Molinaro governor of our great state  however, we must be prepared if the progressive leftist people that believe government is the answer to society’s ills manage to give Andrew Cuomo a third term. We would encourage you to send this Op-Ed to every New York voter that you know.  The stakes have never been higher. 

The same applies for the federal level.  From The Hill:  Dems eye ambitious agenda if House flips. 

Investor’s Business Daily lets us know what the worst-run states have in common:  They’re run by tax-and-spend Democrats. 

This Daily Signal article shows the importance of having checks and balances on the three branches of government.  If Millennials actually vote because they believe government is the answer to society’s ills and seniors stay home or go to their eternal home, the Founding Fathers concept of America will be forever changed.

Betsy McCaughey opines about Democrats’ ‘socialism’ prescription is a war on the poor. 

The City Journal opines on #MeToo’s Politics of Feeling. 

Michael Goodwin wants to know where is the outrage on Hillary’s call for a ‘civil war’. 

Here is a strong message for Hillary Clinton – There was a time – prior to you and your husband become household names – that politics between the two major parties was very civil despite the fact that they differed on many subjects.  Thanks to E. J. McMahon for the proof and the quality and civility of the candidates:  Lewis E. Lehrman and Gov. Mario M. Cuomo. 

New York’s public housing is in total disrepair.  The Beat offers suggestions on how it could become financially able to make much needed repairs, but will government listen and learn?

Governor Andrew Cuomo keeps earning his “Teflon Cuomo despite the fact that I micromanage everything” title as close friend and confidant Steven Pigeon pleads guilty to having a straw donor provide a donation to Governor Andrew Cuomo in 2014. 

The New York Sun:  Haley We Hardly Knew You. 

Rest in Peace, Senator Frank Padavan.

Wednesday’s with Walter E. Williams. 

Congratulations to United States Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.   President Trump delivers another Home Run with Supreme Court pick, Brett Kavanaugh. 

Great question:  How low can they go? Senate grows more toxic with each Supreme Court nomination. 

The NY Sun writes about the Democrats’ Constitutional Problem.  The Washington Times reports that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez declared over the weekend that the Electoral College is a racist American relic that must be abolished. Then there is this reporter:  NBC’S KEN DILANIAN ADVOCATES FOR CHANGES TO SENATE AFTER KAVANAUGH CONFIRMATION.  

We must get out the vote (last day to register to vote in November’s election is October 12.  Click here if you need a Board of Election registration form.  Don’t forget an absentee ballot for children who are in college.)  Voting is the only way to stop the radical changes being advocated by those who have no concept of what made America freedom’s beacon in just 242 years.  The Left is angry and motivated, we have to be motivated to protect the American system.   

Senator Susan Collins understands what America is all about.  If you haven’t heard about her floor presentation, you can listen here. 

Monday’s NY Post editorial summed it up this way — The Kavanaugh aftermath: a left that’s gone completely unhinged. 

Despite what the liberal media is telling you, Rasmussen Reports says Justice Brett Kavanaugh won the popular vote also. 

John Lott, Jr. reminds us that the gun control advocates are spending big money to influence midterms. 

File this under “caught with their hands in the cookie job.” 

Governor Andrew Cuomo vows he will expand abortion within 30 days, if the democrats take control of the State Senate. 

Hillary Clinton really lives in her own world – oblivious to everything and only concerned about herself.

Nikki Haley will be sorely missed and kudos to her for proving some secrets can be kept.

Does wind power contribute to a warmer climate?  Some say yes. 

Little Tommy makes the case for LIFE! 

If this were you or I, we would have been in prison a long time ago. Two trials, two convictions, albeit the US Supreme Court played into the first appeal, and yet a panel of appeals court judges said he deserves a second shot at an appeal of his bribery conviction while remaining free on bail. 

Deplorables, no place for us in New York State and now we are “Insane People holding the country hostage.”   The party that used to talk of tolerance has become a group of lemmings bent on self-destruction because they have no concept of how America has succeeded.

This may help explain  why candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez believe those on the right are insane people.   The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation conducted a survey believing that “knowledge of the history of our country is fundamental to maintaining a democratic society, which is imperiled today.”   How right they are!

As if the above isn’t a serious problem, Reuters/Ipsos poll says 1/3 of voters don’t know candidates. 

Gov. Andrew Cuomo campaign attack cites wrong law in Marc Molinaro ethics charge.  Two major mistakes by the Governor’s campaign in the last few days.  Getting nervous about winning, Governor?  How much leverage did you need to use to remove Cynthia Nixon from the Working Families Party line? 

Mayor de Blasio’s bad “democracy” joke.

Anyone who thinks Jeff Bezos was being generous by raising Amazon’s wages to $15.00 an hour should read this.  A $15 minimum wage is great for Amazon. It is not great for America.   Then you have to consider this. You have to admit, Jeff Bezos, certainly knows how to play the media to his benefit, because most people stopped listening after they heard Amazon employees will be paid $15.00 an hour. 

Rep. Jeff Flake, walks the drama back: “No new corroborative information” in the FBI report on sexual allegations against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh.   Of course, the two major obstructionists say the report is incomplete.   They won’t be happy with the fact that the swing Republican senators praise the FBI report.  Democrats’ Complaints about the FBI Investigation Are Absurd. The vote may take place on Saturday. 

Don’t underestimate what’s at stake in November. 

The Daily Signal  takes a good look at USMCA, the revised NAFTA. 

Joseph Curl writes in the Washington Times how the Democrats’ case against Kavanaugh is falling apart fast.  And Mr. Curl’s article does not even touch what Paul Sperry exposes in his article that can be found in Real Clear Investigations.    Mr. Sperry’s article, based on facts, how, for example renovation records undercut Dr. Ford’s exit door account, is an eye opener.   Then there is this: Ford’s Ex-Boyfriend Contradicts Her on Polygraph. 

The really desperate character assassination of Brett Kavanaugh continues, as the Washington Times reveals that Scott Dworkin, a co-founder of the Democrat Coalition, filed two ethics complaints with the federal circuit court where Kavanaugh currently sits. 

When all of this falls short, the Democrats will zero in on Kavanaugh’s ‘lying,’ temperament. 

This is what we can expect if Sen. Schumer becomes the Majority Leader. 

Betsy McCaughey also enlightens us to this plan::  Democrats Lay Out Their Roadmap To Impeaching Trump

Guy Benson’s common sense and reasonable analysis  sums up how the democrats in the Senate will react no matter what the FBI investigation finds or doesn’t find. 

Yet another Cuomo crony headed to the hoosegow. With Cuomo’s cronies looking at doing time and Gov. Cuomo doing all he can to be reelected, including using mailers and ads to vilify his opponents, maybe we should start calling him Teflon Andy. 

De Blasio’s ‘transparent’ chutzpah. 

De Blasio’s ‘chief democracy officer’ didn’t bother to vote in primaries.

Apple CEO: It’s ‘bunk’ tech giants need your data.

James Pierson, writes on Citizenship and the Census, in the City Journal.  With 17 states, several cities and civil liberty coalitions trying to stop a question about citizenship status on the next census, it is a good perspective on the history involved in asking about citizenship when taking the mandatory census. 

Soros-Backed Progressive Activist Group Takes Credit for Flake Confrontation. 

Will President Trump’s USMCA be the turning point for Sen. Schumer and President Trump’s relationship?  Doubt it, as they say, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Kudos to President Donald J. Trump  – ANOTHER campaign promise delivered — USMCA replaces NAFTA. When are the Democrats going to stop the “Resistance” that only seeks to divide America, keep Americans dependent on government and lusts for destroying the America based on life, liberty and the pursuit of freedom, the “unalienable rights” granted to its citizens by their Creator.  Shame on New York’s Senators Schumer and Gillibrand, for being leaders in this pathetic self-serving, narcissistic display of vindictive and destructive power. 

The NY Post editorial has this to say:  Democrats’ deeply divisive and cynical game, and in Michael Goodwin’s Sunday’s column, Mr. Goodwin says this: Kavanaugh’s hearings are a national disaster — and the worst is yet to come. Rachel Mitchell penned a five-page memo after the hearing essentially stating that there were ‘inconsistencies’ in Christine Blasey-Ford’s testimony.    Look who was behind the Jeff Flake elevator setup. 

Governor Andrew Cuomo is quite similar in his quest to be re-elected next month.  As City and State points out in an article by Zack Williams, Cuomo statements that haven’t held up, and shows 4 examples how Gov. Cuomo has been proven to stretch the facts to his liking.

Cuomo’s campaign team flubs attack on Molinaro. 

The Daily Wire has encouraging news that the main stream media does not want you to know.

Robert Knight opines on Seeing is Believing. 

One issue dominated the news this week and depending on where you get your news from you most likely will be influenced by their reporting of the continued Kavanaugh Hearings.  The Washington Post headline – charges and denials fuel an emotional hearing as Kavanaugh nomination hangs in the balance – begins with “The most consequential Supreme Court opening in a generation gave rise to the most bitter Senate hearing in memory Thursday, as California professor Christine Blasey Ford accused Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when both were teenagers and Kavanaugh angrily assailed Democrats for pushing what he said were false charges to “blow me up and take me down.”   It was an emotional hearing – a hearing based on emotion, not a discussion of corroborated facts which are necessary to make sound decisions. 

If your newspaper of choice is the New York Times you will be reminded that the hearing “was a spectacle of tantrums, tears, preening and political ambition — what Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, called, “Sadly one of the most shameful chapters in the history of the United States Senate.”  (The political ambitions of the Democrats on the Judicial Committee are conveniently omitted.)   Yahoo News described it as a “partisan fistfight” and that “the charged atmosphere in the room was heightened by Kavanaugh himself, who delivered what has to rank among the most combative testimony ever heard in a congressional hearing room.”

Unless you were able to watch the Hearings yourself, what you read and hear on the radio, will undoubtedly influence how you judge what took place in Washington, DC yesterday.  C-Span has yesterday’s Hearing broken down into segments here for you to watch at your convenience, unfiltered by the bias of major news organizations. 

Our first poll question wants to know what you think is the most outrageous accusation against Brett Kavanaugh.

Lindsey Graham’s frustration with the lack of forthrightness from Sen. Diane Feinstein was apparent in his allotted time. 

Sen. Chuck Schumer vowed back in July to oppose Kavanaugh with “everything I’ve got.”

Let’s not forget what Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) said “I just want to say to the men in this country: Just shut up and step up. Do the right thing, for a change.”  She believes that Dr. Ford has a very credible story, yet not one person was willing to come forward to corroborate it. 

Sen. Cory Booker wanted to know if Brett Kavanaugh thought Dr. Ford was a “political operative” instead of a victim of sexual assault. 

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand Slams GOP Senators as “Patronizing Bullies” in her effort to prevent Brett Kavanaugh from becoming a Supreme Court Justice.

This leads us to our second poll question that wants to know whose behavior was the most shameful.

The Democrats may have overplayed their hand and energized the Republican/Independent base. 

The New York Sun has a factual editorial on the time has come to confirm Kavanaugh and the New York Post says It’s time for senators to vote on whom they believe.

Did you know that Gov. Andrew Cuomo is calling for Brett Kavanaugh to take a polygraph test?   Be careful what you wish for Gov. Andrew Cuomo.  Maybe Gov. Cuomo should be asked while taking a polygraph if he knew convicted Joe Percoco was using government resources in 2014.  How about also asking him about Crystal Run healthcare.

The Judicial Committee is halfway through today’s witnesses.   Read Dr. Ford’s testimony, as reported by Fox News, here.  While there are gaps in Dr. Ford’s memory, most believe she was credible…questions remain, but I would venture to say less than before.  Judge Kavanaugh has yet to give his testimony as this is being written.

Seth Barron has a very good article in the City Journal that should be read by every person who plans to vote in November. The article is about New York’s Junior Senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, and spells out how she has no regard for the truth.  We encourage you to circulate the article and we urge you to get involved in Chele Chiavacci Farley campaign and remove this modern-day Madam Defarge from the US Senate.

2nd Kavanaugh accuser refuses to testify, while a 3rd accuser is revealed by Michael Avenatti.    

Surprise: Democratic Operative Admits Derailing Kavanaugh is Really About ‘Saving’ the Supreme Court from Trump.   Today’s NY Post editorial sees it this way:  Democrats’ ‘investigation’ calls are just code for delay, while Michael Goodwin asks this question:  Why it was up to Trump to call bull on Kavanaugh allegations?  Paul Sperry outlines the problems with Dr. Ford’s accusations.   Here is the Daily Signal’s take on the real reason this is going on.

Wednesday’s with Walter E. Williams. 

Up until today, I was not aware that a gentleman, Brandon Straka, headed up the #WalkAway movement.  To be honest, I wasn’t even aware of the #WalkAway movement and I follow a lot of newspapers and news outlets. Then I read about Brandon Straka in the Daily Signal and learned that the main stream media was completely opposed to what Mr. Straka was trying to accomplish.  Here is the Daily Signal article that introduced me to Mr. Straka and #WalkAway and hope that his October 26-28 March in Washington, DC is so successful that the main stream media has to report that the #WalkAway movement is a phenomenon they cannot understand; but most Americans embrace.

This article explains why the left is consumed with hate making it so much easier for people to #WalkAway from the vitriol espoused by the radical progressive left.  

NYS Comptroller Tom DiNapoli makes excuses to the Glens Falls Post Star claiming that his office lacks oversight when it comes to seeing if the program goals are being met. He is a product of the NYS Assembly and is not willing to ruffle the feathers of his former colleagues; he would rather have a few editorial board meetings and say that he is unable to get the legislation needed to give his office back the oversight it once had.  Shame on him!  Purely political statements in an election year.  Why has he been silent on this issue?  Especially when CNBC is asking the question – where are the solar roofs?  It is long past the time to elect a real NYS Comptroller.  Here is another eyebrow raising article on what goes on in the comptroller’s office.  Check out Jonathan Trichter’s page on our website, to review his press releases on how he would run the comptroller’s office.

National Review writes that mass human cloning may soon be upon us.  To say this is controversial is an understatement, yet according to the article, other than some government funding restrictions, scientists are generally ethically bound only by their own consciences.  Need we say more?

In case you missed this over the weekend.  Most people who serve for the right reasons and have the best interest of their constituents at the forefront would never consider firing a man that most consider has intense personal integrity.   Even de Blasio’s allies blast the Mayor over his plot to fire Mark Peters.

The Beat reminds us how much homelessness is costing taxpayers in New York City…the rise under the de Blasio Administration is out of control:  $1.3 billion to $3 billion and no let up in sight.
