The one and only debate between Gov. Andrew Cuomo and challenger Cynthia Nixon is over.  If you did not have the opportunity to watch it last night, the CBS video of the 55-minute debate, is here.  The NY Post editorial page sums it up with this headline:  Cuomo completely flopped in the Democratic debate. 

The Metro pages in the NY Post had this to say about the debate.  Here is how Politico reviewed the debate.  The NY Times covered it as well as Syracuse.com.   CBS reported on their own hosting of the debate and the AP recap was picked up nationally.   

Jonathan Trichter, the Conservative/Republican candidate for NYS Comptroller,  was on Focus on the State Capitol with Fred Dicker this morning.  You can listen to the interview here.  Mr. Trichter begins at the 20.00 mark. 

NYS Government has its priorities concerning adoption all wrong; adoptees needs should be the only consideration.

Today’s NY Post editorial should put smiles on the faces of those who have to use the subway system as their primary mode of transportation.  Marc Molinaro offers serious solutions for the subways.  The editorial begins with “Finally: a New York politician actually willing to take on Big Labor to slice costs and save the subway.”  Governor Cuomo is beholden to Big Labor; he cares more about granting their demands than trying to help everyday people who need to get to work and home again.  You can download and read his plan here, and help him make it happen by getting involved in his campaign here. Stand up for yourselves; help elect a governor that takes pride in America, not one that says “America was never that great.”   Or one who says pro-life, pro-gun conservatives have no place in New York.   New York State will be great again when we FIRE Governor Andrew Cuomo by voting for Marc Molinaro on the Conservative Party line. 

Governor Cuomo sank to a new low when he attacked Marc Molinaro’s wife, who happens to be six month pregnant.  It really appears, at times, that Governor Cuomo has little respect for women.  Even the political party he created – the Woman’s Equality Party (essentially to expand abortion rights in NYS despite the fact that NYS has the most liberal abortion rights in the nation).  He panders to women, speaks down to them and then uses women as props when he says America was never that great

Does Governor Cuomo see the hypocrisy in his using state agencies to tout his administration and attacking Marc Molinaro for doing business with a qualified company that happened to employ his wife for her expertise.

More hypocrisy from Governor Cuomo:  New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has halted an investigation into the handling of the Weinstein case just as Boies’ law firm gave Cuomo’s campaign $25,000, according to state records reviewed by Capital & Main and Sludge.

It is so reassuring to know that our Governor is concerned about the hot weather.  What would we do if he was not available to tell us the dangers of August weather?  With all of the truly serious problems facing New Yorkers (infrastructure, an upstate economy that continues to decline, our citizens leaving in droves, a budget that allows him to give millions of our tax dollars to his favorite buddies while facing severe budget shortfalls — to name just a few) I am at peace knowing my Governor is focusing on rather typical August weather. 

The weather is not all Governor Cuomo is concerned about.  He did send out – just before his primary with Cynthia Nixon (who’s tax hypocrisy is so typical of the left)  a DEC mailer touting his leadership in expanding artificial reefs off the coast of Long Island.  Do you think he will remind New Yorkers of his wind turbine plan upstaters will have to pay for that fishermen may be able to thwart, before the general election?

Where did the democrats find these candidates?  How pathetic is it that in a state with a population of roughly 19 million and almost 80% over the age of 18 (15.2 million) these are the candidates —  19th Congressional District and Senate District 18 —  for elective office.  Granted you have to be 25 to run for Congress, so the pool is slightly smaller, but how low does the bar have to go before people realize our Republic is a representative government…is this how democrats see themselves?

Thank you, Jim Brown.  You truly understand America’s greatness.

Governor Andrew Cuomo continues to use his disagreements with President Donald J. Trump to run down the greatness of America.   How wrong, how ugly, how divisive, how misleading and how disgusting are Governor Cuomo’s words now?  Governor Cuomo is doing all he can to divide Americans and New Yorkers at this time.   Listen to his remarks here and ask yourself … is he running for Governor or using his using his bully pulpit to run for president.   Remember, this is the same man who said there is no place for pro-life, pro-gun conservatives in New York…. but he preaches in this video how we will not be the greatest until everyone is equal.  Gov. Cuomo is proud that he is suing this president for “ripping babies from the arms of mothers in the name of American justice,” yet, this very same man, Governor Andrew Cuomo, has no problem in ripping babies from their mother’s womb in the name of women’s choice.  What a contemptable double standard!

We suspect the opposite is true.  (emphasis added by cpnys.)

I doubt Governor Cuomo will flaunt this fact.   Perhaps, he just does not understand that economic freedom improves lives.

MEMO REVEALS SOROS-FUNDED SOCIAL-MEDIA CENSORSHIP PLAN.

Governor Andrew Cuomo did not have a good week last week, and he has no one but himself to blame.   While talking to the press on the phone, he continued to insult Americans and especially New Yorkers when he insisted that while what he said was “inartful” , he is running for Governor and “As governor of New York, I believe it’s my role to point out and fight this president and fight his agenda.”   Really, Governor Cuomo, I always thought we elected a Governor to run New York State … keep our state on Excelsior’s path, not punish hard working New Yorkers with higher taxes.  It is time for us to elect a Governor that understands the difference and one that does not use magniloquence to deceive voters.  Of course, he would rather use pompous rhetoric because his record lacks the economic growth and positive message President Donald J. Trump has been able to deliver. 

Read this if you want to know how Governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration treated a lobbyist Andrew’s administration called a “a felon, liar and discredited manipulator.”  (Like a visiting head of state would be an understatement.) Kudos to the NY Times for pursuing the emails. 

This is what Governor Cuomo tries to do when you state the obvious in a political advertisement. 

You have a definitive choice for Governor this year:  Marc Molinaro understands all New Yorkers, the responsibilities of being Governor and how great America is.

When did people who break our laws become the protected class and when did mob rule become okay?   From what Nancy Pelosi says in this article, I must believe that democrats are encouraging the mob rule and glorifying those who break our laws while most Americans are working hard to achieve all that America has to offer. 

Dems will continue to make fools of themselves as long as they continue to have Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez center stage.  She is a perfect example of a snowflake that colleges professors allowed to flourish on their campuses.

The old Gray Lady celebrated her 100th birthday in 1951 and she was truly the newspaper of record then.  Alas, she is no longer.  Why is it that when a leftist is exposed as a radical leftist, they come up with a defense as they were only being satirical, but a right-winger is pounced on and fired.  As the Weekly Standard notes, “The search for a decent writer exposes the editorial board’s unprincipled prejudice.”   The Federalist writes this:  the New York Times has embraced the bigotry of identity politics.   

The Progressive Left think they have every right to cross the line of human decency. 

The more liberal philosophy is embraced by social progressives, cities like Chicago – where crime is in control, San Francisco – where drug use is out of control and Seattle – where homelessness is out of control, will become the norm in America.   The policies of Mayor DeBlasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo are certainly beginning to show the signs of the previously mentioned cities.  The working class must wake up and take back their cities and states and the only true way to do so is at the ballot box in November.
