The late breaking news on Friday evening was the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg that has set off an intensive political firestorm.  Here are 7 Things to Know About Upcoming Supreme Court Process, Picks.  The Hill writes about names to watch as Trump picks Ginsburg replacement on Supreme Court.

Speaker Pelosi is on a power campaign; the Speaker no longer represent what is legal according to the US Constitution when outlining what her plans are.  Pelosi doesn’t rule out impeachment to delay Trump’s Supreme Court pick.  Perhaps Speaker Pelosi needs a refresher course in anti-bullying…and the US Constitution.

Sen. Schumer teamed up with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez  to issue a “fervent plea” that the seat remains vacant until after election day.  (One knows Sen. Schumer doesn’t share the microphone often, especially with a person who could primary him, so he is desperate to enhance his voice.)  Their bullying was a little more subtle than the Speaker.  (Interesting how AOC – there is no going back to brunch –  stood with Sen. Schumer and not Speaker Pelosi.)

More bullying from another NY Congressman, Jerry Nadler, who has overstayed his welcome in Congress.  Term limits, when enacted, with your help, will force them out of office before their lust for power undermines the balance of power the US Constitution envisioned.

Pelosi, Schumer, Ocasio-Cortez, Nadler and both Clintons should remember what Justice Ginsburg said in 2016:  Ginsburg said Senate should hold SCOTUS confirmation hearing during election year.  Stop the politics and get down to doing the work you were elected to do.

Michael Goodwin explains why the country needs a filled Supreme Court for the 2020 election.

Dem’s fury over next SCOTUS pick mainly betrays tremendous historical ignorance.

New York State Has Dug Itself into Its Deepest Hole on Record.

4 Key Moments from Trump’s Speech on History, Critical Race Theory.

The Consequences of Biden.

Betsy McCaughey opined in the NY Post, over the weekend,  that Joe Biden’s COVID-19 advisers are more deadly than the virus.

Is there any wonder why most honest political people are worried about the 2020 elections?  ‘Not a big deal’: Noncitizens who voted illegally in 2016 still on voter rolls.  We ask the question again, why is it that the Democrats refuse to let provide more safeguards when casting one’s vote?  Only United States citizens, should be casting a vote as to whom will represent them…at any level.  And then there is this:  California Wants Me to Vote, Even Though I Haven’t Lived There for Over 8 Years.

Robert Knight uses his Washington Times column to explain how Kamala Harris and Dems side with rioters, abandon police.

From The Imaginative Conservative:   Life Is Risky Business.

This is the legacy of Governor Andrew Cuomo and a Legislature totally controlled by the new progressive democratic party:  Fewer witnesses to NYC crimes are coming forward — leading to mayhem and murder.

And it may get even worse, if Congresswoman Alexandrea Ocasio-Cortez has her way:  AOC-backed socialists have a plan to take over New York City.

Thank you, AG Barr, for looking out for everyday New Yorker’s who just want to live their lives without drive-by shootings, escalating crime, riots, and looting.   De Blasio, Cuomo fume as DOJ puts ‘anarchist’ NYC funds on chopping block.

President Trump Announces 1776 Commission

Patriotic education is on the way in response to the democrats pushing their “1619 Project” which aims to educate students through indoctrination from liberal teachers and professors.

“I will soon sign an executive order establishing a national commission to promote patriotic education. It will be called the ‘1776 Commission’,” Trump said Thursday. The commission will encourage our educators to teach your children about the miracle of American history and make plans to honor the 250th anniversary of our founding in the year 2026 said President Trump.

At a time when our students are being educated by far-left liberals, being taught a revisionist version of history, being stripped of learning about where we have come from, how far we have gone, and promoting disdain for our country, this is very welcomed news from the President and his administration.

An accurate, truthful education should not be political and I look forward to this program being put into action. We, like every other country in the world, have come a long way. We must not strip students of an accurate education and allow them to form their own opinions without bias.

Trump Administration Celebrates Abraham Accords

 On Tuesday the President was joined by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the foreign ministers of the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain in what was a historic day for the four nations as they signed the Abraham Accords officially formalizing relations between Israel and the two Arab states in a deal brokered by the United States.

This is another massive foreign policy win for President Trump and he hinted they weren’t done bringing other nations to the table and plan to normalize relations with “at least five or six” other nations.

Months leading up to his election and in the years since he became President, we have heard from the Democrats on countless occasions on how America and our interests wouldn’t be safe under a President Donald Trump. Well, we have learned that couldn’t be further from the truth as his administration continues to broker peace deal after peace deal, withdraw troops from endless wars and promote peace through power all over the world.

The facts are this, the world is a safer place than it was four years ago and this President has earned a second term.

Candidate Spotlight

This week I am happy to spotlight two candidates who will be instrumental to our success this November.

Angi Renna is the Conservative/Republican candidate in New York States 50^th Senate District. Angi comes from the financial planning world and specializes in helping those on the verge of retiring and seniors plan their financial futures.

The 50^th District has been represented by a Conservative since 2003. Now, Angi Renna looks to fill the vacant seat, but faces a stiff challenge from far-left liberal John Mannion. Mr. Mannion makes no attempt to hide the fact that he will join in lock step with NYC liberal Senators who love writing taxpayer funded blank checks and allow the Governor to operate as more of a dictator and not a public servant.

In New York’s 41^st Senate District, Senator Sue Serino has been an avid supporter of law enforcement and has sponsored countless bills in support of police and has been a leading public health advocate. Senator Serino led the charge in 2019 as she pushed her colleagues in Albany to support additional funding, research, and preventatives to help those suffering from Lyme and tick-borne diseases throughout New York State.

Albany is a better place with legislators like Senator Serino working tirelessly to advocate for good on behalf of her district and New York as a whole.

We hear every election cycle that it’s “the most important” election of our lifetime. Well, 2020 is the most important election of our lifetime, there is no denying it. The left has attempted to bully conservatives into submission through rioting, looting, and lawlessness. Common sense must prevail this November. We cannot continue to hemorrhaged residents to other states. We must get back to keeping all politics local and ensuring our representatives in Albany are working for us, not trying to out progressive their democratic colleagues.

Angi Renna and Sue Serino are where the common sense starts. Please check out their websites and get involved:  Angi Renna;  Sue Serino

Imagine for a moment the mainstream media asking the former VP about this:  Joe Biden’s 2016 call with ex-Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko is leaked.  Of course, it would never happen, because 1) he won’t sit for a real interview and 2) most in the mainstream media want him to be president so they ask soft-ball questions.

Your Right to Vote Is Sacred. Don’t Give It Up.

NEVER FORGET

 On this 19^th anniversary of September 11, 2001 I want to remember the lives lost, the families affected and the heroes who responded without hesitation.

Our darkest hour was followed by heroism we could spend a lifetime documenting. Firefighters, Police officers, EMT’s, even civilians rushed to save lives, never thinking about the potential consequences. They knew their fellow New Yorker’s needed help and that’s all they needed to know.

19 years later, we are still losing first responders to 9/11 related illnesses. We are still seeing people suffer and families grieve.

I ask that you continue to remember everyone affected, pray for the families and offer comfort. Most importantly, honor their memories by honoring the city and country they jumped into action to protect.

Conservative Party Re-instated on Twitter

After two long months of being suppressed and silenced on Twitter, the State Conservative Party account was re-instated last night.

We are thrilled to be back and have an additional platform to communicate with our party members and other like-minded individuals. We are entering the final stretch of the most important election of our lifetime. Being able to promote our candidates, keep the public up-to-date on what is going on with their campaigns, and bringing you information in real time is crucial to their success.

I want to thank Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay and Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt for sending a letter to Twitter’s CEO demanding answers as to why we were suspended from twitter. We have never violated any of the terms of use, nor have we promoted any inappropriate content. Our biggest crime is practicing common sense conservative values.

If you are on Twitter, please follow us @CPNYS for up-to-date news, and keep you up-to-date on our candidates from Long Island to the North Country.

Governor Caves to Mounting Pressure

Governor Cuomo’s bluff was called by New York City restaurateurs this week after they delivered a $2 billion lawsuit against the city and state.

More than 300 restaurants joined in on the class action lawsuit that demands New York City establishments be permitted to open 50% of their indoor seating capacity.

Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis and City Councilman Steve Matteo joined the lawsuit which was filed in Richmond County earlier this week.

The Governor folded like a cheap suit and announced 25% of indoor seating capacity may be opened starting September 30. However, waiting nearly 3 more weeks and only allowing 25% capacity is not nearly enough to help restaurants sustain themselves through the winter season. Restaurant owners, along with Malliotakis and Matteo are continuing with their lawsuit and demanding 50% of seating be made available.

Stefanik, Malliotakis Release New Ads

Rep. Elise Stefanik and first time Congressional candidate Nicole Malliotakis released new ads earlier this week as they continue to campaign hard against their far-left opponents.

America is going through a crisis; and the blame for the unrest is based on her early history of slavery.  Those who understand our history, know that slavery was abolished on December 6, 1865 when the 13^th Amendment was ratified.  What makes America unique, and the beacon of hope to many, is that we also have a history of correcting the errors made.   However, today, in the year 2020, children go missing far too often, many of them sold for sex, certainly a heinous form of modern-day slavery, that few people recognize as slavery.   Thankfully, the U.S. Marshals Service found 39 missing children in Georgia over two weeks in a mission called Operation Not Forgotten.  Listen to the podcast, provided by the Daily Signal, on how the US Marshalls accomplished rescuing today’s those forced into slavery in 2020.   With the help of Operation Not Forgotten, America will end this injustice and our children will be safe.

This had to be difficult for Joe Scarboro to say:  Scarborough calls on Cuomo to walk back statement he made about Trump: ‘Out of bounds’

Governor, did you see this?  Even if you did, you would find a way to deny their research.

The Emperor keeps up his critical assessment of President.  Governor Cuomo likes to say he deals with facts, yet he doesn’t hesitate to attack President Trump based on anonymous statements reported in The Atlantic.  In fact, since the Atlantic’s article sourced anonymous statements, I would be more inclined to believe Ambassador John Bolton, as we all know, not a fan of President Trump, but also known to be forthright, when he says the article was “simply false.”   And it wasn’t only ambassador Bolton that rallied to his defense.  Here is Conrad Black’s opinion in The Sun.   Bobby Henline, is a wounded war vet, who slammed the Left for using his photo to promote the tabloid rumor.

The CDC has a page dedicated to coping with stress as pandemics can be stressful.  They are not the only organization writing about the side effects of how a pandemic that is certainly stressful can comprise one’s mental health.  I am being sincere in saying that I believe the stress of being Governor (and making a major error in judgement in allowing COVID-19 patients to return to nursing homes) has taken its toll on Andrew Cuomo.  His adherence to blaming President Trump for not stopping the “European virus” and continuous blaming President Trump for New York’s high death rate, may very well be signs that the stress of being governor, with complete control for decisions being made, is taking its toll.  Would a person who is not under duress actually say that President Trump is “‘actively trying to kill New York City”  or that Trump Caused the COVID Outbreak in New York.  Take a deep breath, Governor, and think twice before you lob the next volley.

State Convention

Last week, we held our state convention to re-nominate President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

Thank you to Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for accepting the nomination on behalf of the President. Elise is no longer a rising star, she is a star and having her at our convention was an honor.

We were pleased to also honor Russ Gugino with the J. Daniel Mahoney award for his continued activism within the conservative community.

We were also happy to have many elected officials and candidates join us. Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt, Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro, and Assemblyman Colin Schmitt gave wonderful speeches, highlighting where one-party control has taken New York in just one legislative session: late term abortion, dangerous criminal bail reform, and an out of control state budget to just name a few.

We also heard from Senator Sue Serino, Senator George Borello, Congressional candidate Chele Farley and Assembly candidate Mike Lawler.

I would like to thank everyone who attended and made the event possible. Now, we shift our focus to getting our endorsed candidates re-elected and elected!

Live with Jason McGuire

I was happy to be joined on Wednesday by Jason McGuire, Executive Director of New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms and Chairman of the Livingston County Conservative Party.

 Claudia Tenney released a new ad this week highlighting her support of our military and veterans, while her opponent, freshman Rep. Brindisi, prioritized impeaching President Trump and illegal immigrants over our men and women of the armed forces.

New York’s 22^nd congressional district was Trump country in 2016, and I expect it to be just the same in 2020. Claudia can flip this seat back red, but only with your support. I encourage everyone willing and able to get involved. The path to taking back the House of Representatives starts right here in New York by taking back the seats we lost in 2018.

50+ Questions No Reporter Dares Ask Joe Biden and His Campaign

Democrats who wield power must really think every day Americans, people just like us, are incapable of seeing through their effusive balderdash when they are caught with their hands in the cookie jar.  Speaker Nancy Pelosi has the chutzpah to think she is owed an apology for being “set-up.”  (We all know how vain the Speaker is; Ms. Pelosi has a mask that matches every outfit, do you?)  Yet, the Speaker wants us to believe she was “set-up” and demands an apology.  Of course, the Speaker has her lemmings coming to her aid, and attacking the eSalon owner.  Just remember this, your vote on November 3, can help flip the House and remove her as the Speaker.  Vote in person (to be certain your vote is counted) for the Conservative/Republican candidate in your district and let the Speaker know her audacity did her in.

The other Democrat who wields power and never lets us forget that fact is Andrew Cuomo.  The NY Post exposed the Emperor’s extreme dislike for President Trump by reporting Cuomo’s hastily called presser upon learning that President Trump is looking to pull federal funds from lawless cities.  Governor Cuomo’s vitriol was unbecoming at the very least.  The thing that powerful democrats have in common is that they forget that almost everything they say or do is recorded, so I thoroughly enjoyed when the news reported on Governor Cuomo’s slip into his Captain Queeg mode, they played the clips of his praising President Trump for all his help in the beginning of the pandemic.  President Trump and Governor Cuomo, two very strong personalities from Queens, won’t let this latest disagreement end until there is a clear winner.  Since it is about safety and our money, we all have a stake in who wins, and voting in person on November 3, will help decide who is right.  Oh my, Gov. Cuomo just upped the ante by challenging President Trump’s election day prediction.  (Wow, and I had written the previous sentence before I saw Cuomo’s latest volley.)

Joe Biden Stumbles Trying to Describe Impact Of COVID-19…I imagine this is the result of staying in your basement since the beginning of the pandemic.

William McGurn opines in the Wall Street Journal (subscription required) if Biden is the new Humphrey.  “…refusal of Democratic politicians (including district attorneys) to hold lawbreakers accountable is what’s really hurting Mr. Biden’s case.”  Here in NYS we know all too well what happens when Democratic politicians fail to hold lawbreakers accountable; those who kill police officers are set free and those who defy the law are given “appearance tickets” and fail to appear.  The uptick in crime is astounding, the uptick in lawlessness is frightening and the major exodus is carving huge holes in the tax structure creating a Catch-22 situation which, if not stopped on November 3 will have our Empire State become a despotism with oligarchs in control.  Need an example of how this will happen?  Read this.

Speaking of Covid…City and State has a webinar this Thursday from 1:00 to 4:00 PM that people can register for (I don’t see any cost to register) to discuss How COVID19 Has and Will Impact New York’s Health Care Policies, Innovation and Future.  You can register here; and I would hope that anyone who was effected by COVID-19 listen in.  The link does not indicate that one will be allowed to speak, but, just knowing what they discuss should be helpful to all individuals to be prepared for the future.

The Democratic Party really wants you to believe that there is no problem with mail-in ballots; perhaps they should read this…Confessions of a voter fraud: I was a master at fixing mail-in ballots.  As Conservatives and Republicans we should be encouraging everyone to vote in person…we can go shopping, get gas, some have gone back to church, at the very least we can stand in line and vote in person on November 3, 2020.  Those who already get an Absentee Ballot because they can’t get out to vote in understandable, but a massive mailing by the local Board of Elections is not in anyone’s best interest.

Republican National Convention

 Last night concluded a very successful Republican Convention in which we celebrated the success of America under the Trump presidency.

For four days, we heard stories from immigrants and working-class Americans who have prospered under the Trump Administration proclaiming the return of jobs has allowed them once again to prosper.

We heard from military and law enforcement families who tragically lost loved ones defending our country both overseas and right here at home. They told stories of President Trump’s kindness and genuine concern he showed for them, a concern they didn’t receive from the previous administration.

We heard from Carl and Marsha Mueller whose daughter was tortured and murdered by ISIS. Mr. Mueller explained how President Obama and Vice President Biden refused to meet with them, but President Trump met with them, listened to them, and grieved with them.

Finally, we heard from the President who talked about creating the greatest economy this country has ever seen, revitalizing the United States military with necessary equipment and raises, historic tax cuts, criminal justice reform, and accomplishing monumental trade deals. President Trump spoke of the past, but looked forward to the future, clearly a man on a mission to accomplish even more in the next four years.

Over the course of the last two weeks, we learned what America would look like under a Biden presidency; we’ve a seen glimpse of it in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and right here in New York City. It was again on full display as the angry mob harassed and assaulted peaceful citizens who were exiting the convention.

This is the most important election of our lifetime. We must re-elect Donald Trump for law and order, the economy, and a bright future for the next generation.

Save NYC Rally

Roughly 1,000 New York City residents attended a rally at City Hall last week to express their concern over the deteriorating quality of life, rise in crime, and Mayor Bill de Blasio’s leadership. The rally, organized by Scott Lobaido, was an example of what a real peaceful protest is all about. People gathered to let their voices be heard, with no violence or destruction of city property.

Quite simply, Mayor de Blasio has worked tirelessly; tirelessly demonizing the men and women of the NYPD, destroying businesses, and misallocating billions of dollars in taxpayer money. The lame duck Mayor is in over his head. He doesn’t know what to do, or what to say, he only knows one thing, how to create chaos, and how to fan the flames of unrest.

With over a year remaining in office, there’s no telling how far down the road of no return he will take us.

Garbarino For Congress

 I had the pleasure of joining Assemblymember and candidate for Congress Andrew Garbarino Tuesday in Long Island. Andrew’s campaign is picking up steam and moving in the right direction.

It is imperative we get behind him and build on his momentum. Keeping New York’s 2^nd congressional seat in Conservative, Republican hands is vital to the success of the state. Already outnumbered at both the state and federal level, we cannot afford to lose more ground and inch ever closer to far-left radical control.

Please visit Andrew’s site here and support him if you can!

Conservative Party Convention

 On behalf of President Trump and Vice President Pence, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik will be accepting their re-nomination for President and Vice President of the United States tomorrow in Dutchess County.

We have a great convention coming and look forward to building on the 292,392 votes the President received on our line in 2016!
