CUOMO FATIGUE: STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR 

Brooklyn, NY — “Almost half of New York State voters (47%) indicated in a Zogby poll released today that it’s time for someone new to serve as the state’s next governor. These survey numbers come as no surprise to millions of New Yorkers who have watched New York fall further and further behind other states economically under Governor Andrew Cuomo. Even voters who have supported Governor Cuomo in the past now say it’s time for him to go, the Zogby poll reveals. Mr. Cuomo’s scandalous behavior in covering up thousands of nursing home deaths, recently uncovered by New York’s Democrat Attorney General, also demonstrated an arrogance of power that voters won’t put up with indefinitely.

“The Conservative Party is speaking with several strong and viable potential candidates for the 2022 gubernatorial race, each of whom could offer New Yorkers fresh new leadership to move this state and it’s economy forward for a change. The race is just around the corner, and we’ll be ready for it.”

Barbara Keating-Edh 1938-2021

Conservative Party friend & supporter Herb Stupp prepared the following obituary for the late Barbara Keating-Edh.

The Conservative Party of New York sadly announces the death of Barbara Keating-Edh, on January 30th.  Barbara is best remembered by Conservatives as the party’s 1974 candidate for U. S. Senator.   Left out of many statewide polls through September 30th that year, Barbara shocked many observers by garnering nearly 823,000 votes statewide, or 17% in the three-way race.   Her strong showing held three-term liberal Republican Senator Jacob Javits to well under 50%, with radical Democrat Ramsey Clark polling a distant second.   Keating TV commercials took a strong pro-life stance.

After a stint on the staff of U. S. Senator Jim Buckley, Barbara helped to found “Consumer Alert,” a non-profit policy group emphasizing free market competition over big government as the best way to protect American consumers.  During a speech for the organization in California, Barbara met her future husband, Lennarth Edh, who survives her.

Her marriage brought her from Westchester, New York to Modesto, California, where she lived with Lennarth for nearly 40 years.    She almost won a state legislative seat as a Republican and ran the county office of Catholic Charities.  Barbara also served on the Board of the American Conservative Union, as well as on the transition team for President-elect Ronald Reagan.

Born in 1938 as Barbara Galvin, she married Marine Corps officer Daniel Keating, and they welcomed five children.   Major Keating was killed in action in Vietnam in 1968, leaving Barbara to raise their children alone.

She joined the Conservative Party and began speaking about the importance of Vietnam, debating the likes of Bella Abzug, William Kunstler, Ramsey Clark, Black Panther leaders and other radicals and liberals.   Although she never attended college, Barbara was quick-witted and well-informed, always “schooling” her debating opponents on the left.   Her gleaming smile and fresh-faced beauty surely disarmed many of her opponents.

In addition to husband Lennarth, Barbara is survived by a large family of children, stepchildren, their spouses, 19 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren.   Please keep them, and Barbara, in your prayers.

Nursing Home Crisis Continues

 A judge ruled Wednesday that Governor Cuomo’s Health Department broke the law by refusing to give the total number of nursing home deaths to a Government watchdog organization.

In the decision, acting Albany Supreme Court Justice Kimberly O’Connor voiced her displeasure with the DOH for repeatedly denying the Empire Center for Public Policy the information.

“We’re very pleased but we don’t have the data yet and there’s still a chance that they will appeal and tie this up for potentially months longer — and given the way they’ve behaved so far, I wouldn’t be surprised,” said The Empire Center’s Bill Hammond, who also referred to the ruling as a “great victory.”

However, in their efforts to shield Governor Cuomo from taking responsibility and answering for his failures, New York’s Democrat supermajority on Monday blocked a motion to subpoena records of the Cuomo administration. The motion was made by Sen. Thomas O’Mara, the ranking Republican on the Investigations Committee panel during a virtual meeting, but the Democrats put up a roadblock and did not even allow members to make a vote.

As dominos continue to fall, it is clear there will be attempts to pass the buck on the nursing home crisis as State Democrats will follow their pied piper and continue to disregard decency and common sense.

 2021 Legislative Agenda

New York State Conservative Party released the Party’s 2021 Legislative Program earlier this week. We publicly submit our Program each year to make clear our beliefs and priorities for the annual legislative session in Albany.

Political parties have a duty to spell out the ideas and legislative measures they support, and we are pleased to do so again in 2021. Unsurprisingly, we continue to call for fiscally sound, pro-economic-growth policies; respect for human life; strong public safety laws; religious and other constitutional freedoms; free-market solutions to healthcare and housing shortages; accountability in education, and government reforms, including the return of powers to the State Legislature, a co-equal branch of New York State government. We urge members of all political affiliations to review and consider these recommendations for a better state.

AOC follows Rahm Emanuel’s misguided advice of never letting a serious crisis go to waste…

AOC, aka the Drama Queen, showed her true manipulative side:  AOC blasted for exaggerating her ‘trauma’ from Capitol riot experience.  It really is pathetic that a fellow human being tried to exploit the terrible circumstances that occurred on January 6.  She should hang her head in shame, but I doubt if she will even apologize to those who were there let alone all those who watched her self-serving video.  Now we learn that AOC DEMANDS FOLLOWERS REPORT CONSERVATIVES MAKING FUN OF HER TO BIG TECH.  AOC, in case you can’t tell the difference, I am not making fun of you, just letting our readers know what a unscrupulous egomaniac you really are.

Here’s how much Cuomo’s COVID ‘mountain’ prop really cost the state.   It’s good to know that the Cuomo Administration “fudged” the original cost of Governor Cuomo’s COVID-19 mountain; however, the bigger question is: if 40,000 copies were purchased for $11.50, (plus tax, shipping and handling) for the 22-inch-by-28-inch painting, I find that something is amiss with the “fact” that says state officials claim they’re making no profit on [the sales] as the poster is being produced “at cost.” Who is producing the poster?  One of the many agencies the Governor controls?  Many similar sized posters are produced by private companies and they make a profit [otherwise they wouldn’t be selling posters], so how is it that the state isn’t making a profit?  Or is the profit going to the Governor’s campaign since they paid for the original mountain?  Where exactly is the money going?  Certainly, the taxes being collected are going to NYS.  One small rather insignificant – when compared to the real problems facing New Yorkers -article, so many questions.

A Letter from Washington Shrinks New York’s Budget Gap by $2 Billion or More.  But it doesn’t help in the long run because the state now thinks it has carte blanche to keep spending.

Kudos to acting Albany Supreme Court Justice Kimberly O’Connor:  Cuomo Health Dept. illegally withheld COVID nursing home death toll: judge.  New Yorkers may finally get some real answers.  Cuomo Dealt Another Blow on N.Y. Nursing-Home Death Controversy.

Defunding Police Isn’t Answer, Say Black Mothers of Slain Children.

Help me understand this:  It is okay to destroy statutes of Americans that contributed to the freedom of Black Lives and good ideals to America – for example, Frederic Douglas and Abraham Lincoln – as many in the Black Lives Matter movement did this summer and now that same group wants to teach young students in the name of their “week of action” about, and thereby elevate, Joanne Chesimard, convicted of the 1973 execution-style murder of a New Jersey state trooper, Werner Foerster.

President Biden and all those who support his edict on transgender sports are wrong.  Yes, transgenders have the “right” to participate in sports, and the playing field will be level when they compete against other transgenders.  And if they do not accept that as a solution, they are not being honest in what they want.  For Female Athlete, Biden’s Transgender Executive Order Is ‘Heartbreaking’   The new nominee for Secretary of Education had this to say Schools Have Responsibility to Let Biological Males in Girls Sports If They’re Trans; I beg to differ, but school has the responsibility to educate students and that does not include changing the playing field.  This executive order is anti-women and should be rescinded asap.

Ben Shapiro opines on The Inequality of ‘Equity’

It is becoming very evident that a person who has spent his entire working life in government as an elected official is not qualified to be an elected official with the power of an Executive Order as they have no concept of what the real working world is about: meeting payrolls; the true cost of health insurance and the other important decisions made to run a successful business.  Companies Are Preparing to Cut Jobs and Automate if Biden Gets $15 Minimum Wage Hike, Reporting Shows.

NY Attorney General Releases Bombshell Report

 I knew it, you knew it, and the Governor knew it. Now, he cannot hide it.

According to a new report released Thursday by Attorney General Tish James, the Cuomo administration under-reported COVID nursing home deaths by nearly 55%. An absolutely astonishing number.

For months, grieving families have searched for answers. Why did Cuomo’s Health Department order nursing homes to accept COVID positive patients? They knew the disease to be deadly, yet they placed them amongst the most vulnerable residents of our state, all while the USNS Comfort remained empty on the Hudson and a field hospital at the Javits Center went unused.

“Government guidance requiring the admission of COVID-19 patients into nursing homes, may have put residents at increased risk of harm in some facilities and may have obscured the data available to assess that risk” the report from the Attorney General said.

While you searched for answers, Governor Cuomo wrote a book and was nominated for an International Emmy. You grieved for a loved one, while he posed for the camera. He gleefully sat in front of the camera daily, smiled, cracked jokes, and lied straight to our faces while we spent day and night worrying about our elderly parents.

What the Governor did is beyond shameful, despicable, and dishonest, even for him. To add insult to injury, he has taken repeated victory laps for months and been showered in praise by his lackey’s and sycophants in Albany.

I have called for a full federal investigation into Governor Cuomo and his cover up of thousands of deaths. Additionally, it is time the Governor and his Health Commissioner do right by the people of New York and resign immediately. They are not fit to lead our state, in any capacity, any longer.

Lincoln Project

Rino’s masquerading as real Republicans, or Democrats undercover as Rino’s? No matter how you look at the Lincoln Project is nothing but an organization built on grifting, led by people no longer of any political importance to the world, who can’t quite come to terms with one simple reality; they are not wanted professionally. Anywhere.

If it were up to them, we would have 100 less conservatives walking the halls of Congress and no hope of taking back control of the House of Representatives or Congress in 2022. Instead, they would have us many political cycles, maybe even a decade behind. With what has transpired in Washington in just one week of the Biden administration, I cannot even begin to imagine what multiple years of Democratic control would look like.

The Lincoln Project set out to influence the 2020 elections and propel Democrats to victory over every Trump supporting candidate running for election or re-election to the House. In doing so, they spent $67,000,000 by convincing liberals from all over the country to give them money to run cheesy, non-effective television ads. As we all know now, Republicans would go on to make unexpected gains and give Nancy Pelosi the smallest majority to work with since World War II.

As the Lincoln Project burned left wing money on  expensive stunts, like a Times Square billboard in one of the most uncontested districts in America, New York City’s 12th Congressional, Trump had support from 91 percent of Republicans and voters who lean Republican, according to a Fox News Voter Analysis . Although Joe Biden outperformed Hillary Clinton’s 2016 suburban numbers, Donald Trump won a higher percentage of white women in 2020.

Perhaps the Lincoln Project should be spending more time in sensitivity and ethics training following the revelation that co-founder John Weaver resigned after admitting to sending sexually inappropriate messages to at least 30 young men, attempting to trade sexual favors for political favors.

It may be time for the Lincoln Project to take on a more suitable name, perhaps naming themselves after another one time American leader, Benedict Arnold.

The Benedict Arnold Project has a more honest ring to it.

Biden Signs Executive Order Effectively Ending Women’s Sports

President Joe Biden wasted no time issuing an Executive Order “Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation.” This political move became instant news in the sports world. Why? Because of one clause, “Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports.”

“There is no comparison, especially between adult females and males, males are just more dominant. They are stronger,” said Dr. Linda Blade, a sports performance specialist.

The Biden administration avoids one very inconvenient point on the topic: how muscle mass, bone density, and lung capacity of biological females give them an unfair disadvantage. Biological men will be competing on a vastly uneven playing field on their way to wins, trophies, championships and college scholarships.

In 2018, Craig Telfer competed for the Franklin Pierce University Mens’ Track Team, he finished eighth in a field of nine competitors. A year later, Telfer competed as CeCe and defeated seven biological women, winning an NCAA women’s track national championship. This is just one example of biological females who have dedicated their life to training and perfecting their craft only to have it taken away by a biological male.

Statement on Attorney General Nursing Home Report by New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

“An honorable leader would resign under such circumstances.”

Brooklyn, NY — “Attorney General Letitia James’s damning report on New York nursing home deaths has exposed one of the most egregious cover ups in New York State history. There must be a price to pay.

“The report confirms what millions of New Yorkers already suspected: Governor Andrew Cuomo and his administration willfully manipulated data to hide the number of deaths caused by their inexplicably foolish policy decisions.

“The pain suffered by thousands of New York families who lost loved ones because of the Governor’s poor decisions, compounded by Mr. Cuomo’s appalling braggadocio over the past year about his handling of the Covid-19 crisis, is made more painful still by this report. The Governor tried to wash his hands of their deaths, and now he has been found out.

“An honorable leader would resign under such circumstances.”
