Continued Calls for Independent Investigation Into NY Nursing Home Crisis

This week the Conservative Party formally called on the United States Attorney General William Barr to launch an independent investigation into why New York State has suffered over 6000 nursing home deaths attributed to COVID-19.

The Governor, under pressure from families, the media, elected officials, and political leadership, acknowledged the problem by calling for the NYS Department of Health and the State Attorney General to investigate. The Conservative Party takes exception with the State investigating itself. We firmly believe that both the NYS Attorney General and the Commissioner of Health are political functionaries lacking the ability to act independently particularly when the Governor’s actions are a likely target of any investigation.”

The Conservative Party was an early proponent of an independent federal investigation, launching an on-line petition that almost 2000 people signed and a social media campaign that received over 35,000 interactions supporting a federal investigation into this horrific crisis in our nursing homes.

We will continue to demand action and answers as to why thousands of New Yorker’s were put directly into harm’s way at the order of the Governors Department of Health.

New York City Council Begins Steps to Defund NYPD

Not long ago, the New York City Council was in support of pay raises for the men and women of the NYPD. Fast forward a few months, and those same council members are working to defund that same police department.

41 City Council members signed a letter in support of pay raises which was sent to lame duck Mayor Bill de Blasio just months ago. Now, the Mayor vows to cut funding to the officers who ran toward danger on September 11, 2001, and the December 11, 2017 attempted bombing of the Port Authority.

In May, the Working Families Party and Communities United for Police Reform, called for New York City to redirect NYPD funds to other city social service programs. City Council member, and Panderer in Chief, Brad Lander, proposed a NYPD hiring freeze, while Council member Donovan Richards, head of public safety, called for $55 million in cuts solely to the cadet program and overtime.

City Council Speaker Johnson favors cutting the $6 billion NYPD budget and decreasing officers involvement in NYC schools. Members of the council have proposed cuts between 5 and 15 percent, which would gut the department anywhere between $300 million and $1 billion, changing the NYPD and all the good they do as we know it.

A defunding of the NYPD will certainly come with major consequences. As of this writing, murder is up 25.4%, shooting victims are up 22.1%, shooting incidents are up 22.2%, and burglary is up 47% according to the city’s CompStat crime tracking website.

The department is also prepping itself for a dramatic increase in the number of retirements, and officers prepared to move on to different careers, due to the lack of support from the Mayor’s office and City Council. There have already been 800 disheartened officers who have filed retirement applications or made appointments to discuss retirement within the last month.

Not long ago, New York City was amongst the most dangerous cities in America. In 1990, during the Dinkins administration, 2,245 people were murdered. Mayor Giuliani was elected in 1993, and by 1995 those numbers were cut in half. In Giuliani’s final year as Mayor in 2001, the city had become one of the safest places to visit in the world.

It is my fear that reducing the NYPD’s funding and man power, there will be a significant spike in violent crimes that plagued the city in the 1980’s and 1990’s.

C. Douglas Love’s book —We Want EQUALITY – How the Fight for Equality Gave Way to Preference – was released almost two years ago and at the recommendation of a friend (Thank you, Jameson) I just ordered it. I’m contemplating purchasing another copy to send to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, however, I know it would be a waste of money to send it to her, Al Sharpton wouldn’t read it either. Unfortunately, all those who should be reading it are pandering snowflakes incapable of hearing the truth.

Speaking of pandering people (Speaker Pelosi) one has to wonder why the Speaker and many others wear the Kente Cloth scarves in tribute to African Americans.  Do they know that Kente cloth originated with the Ashanti in West Africa (now Ghana and Cote d’ivoire) and that the Ashanti tribe was the largest slave trader in Africa.  So, the same people who want to destroy every Confederate statute, flag, and symbol of slavery in America, promote scarves from the Ashanti tribe.  Hypocrisy or the result of not being a student of history?

Governor Andrew Cuomo was back on his soap box today, saying how life is unjust and we live in a system that does not give equal opportunity to all.  I thought Governor Cuomo was a little smarter that he portrays himself to be at these press conferences.  America and New York, especially, provides an equal opportunity to all; albeit, there was a time in our history that was not an accurate statement.  Today it is.  An equal opportunity is just that, an opportunity, if you work hard enough, to achieve anything you want, no matter the circumstances of your birth.  What he said today, was a tackles and hurtful statement to those who have worked their way out of the misery that were told they would be able to and they would never amount to anything.  Equal opportunity does not mean equal outcome.  Gov. Cuomo complained about the school districts in poor neighborhoods, but I don’t here him calling for Charter Schools in those neighborhoods.  Nor, has he used his bully pulpit to bring together leaders to discuss the issues creating so much turmoil in today’s society.  He has had 9 years as Governor, and his answer is a to demand that the progressive mantra is embolden and doomed to failure.  BTW, Governor, both sides have people who harbor racism, stirs racism, and create conflict.  The Golden Rule has long since been forgotten.  It would be better for all New Yorkers if you would begin to practice the Golden Rule instead of creating more conflict using your soap box to say you are above the fray.  You stress the decades that have led to this; if you were sincere and honest, you would have rendered a positive influence long before now. The only thing you said today that was honest was that “they’ll say (meaning politicians) whatever they have to say to win an election.”  You would know, wouldn’t you:  Andrew Cuomo, Not Running for Governor, Talks to Conservatives

Governor Andrew Cuomo here is a good read for you and your “just the facts” messaging.

Today’s presser by Gov. Cuomo.  After he first statement, I couldn’t listen any more.  “Day 100.  When we first started, all the experts, I talked to all the global experts, the people who had studied this all across the world and asked them what is going to happen and where are we going to go.  Nobody knew.”  Who did he speak to?  What experts?  This is a new coronavirus that no one knew anything about…experts?  No one can be an expert when dealing with a newly discovered virus!!!  But Emperor Cuomo closed New York State, not only in the NYC epicenter where he sent our sick patients into our nursing homes to die, the whole state was shut down…and is still struggling to revitalize our economy.  I couldn’t listen to the Emperor any longer, but, you can here.

Over the weekend, the Emperor decided that 25% of religious congregations can now attend services.  Governor, how does the religious organization decide which 25%?  Shameful; especially when so many people really want to go back to church.  Websites are good, but sharing with neighbors and friends in a real church setting, is what people want.

Mayor De Blasio Loses Control of NYC

The city that never sleeps is eerily silent as businesses have boarded up in preparation for ongoing riots and looting, which city government has failed to address, leading to all out chaos after dark.

While the Governor and Mayor squabble over how to handle the destruction of businesses, looting, and criminal activity, opportunists continue to take advantage of the Mayors incompetency’s.

The NYPD has done an admirable job attempting to save the city from collapse and arresting those whose intentions are not to peacefully protest, but to wreak havoc on law abiding citizens.

While police deal with Molotov cocktails, rocks, and cement filled bottles being hurled directly at them, it appears street gangs are strategically leaving dangerous objects out for violent protesters to use to cause bodily harm and maximize damage. In some cases, social media videos appear to show agitators handing bricks and rocks to protesters, encouraging them to use the objects to escalate tensions and distract from police to aide in their looting.

While the worst of the civil unrest has taken place in New York City, Buffalo, Rochester and Albany have dealt with their own cases of rioting, resulting in looting and destruction of property. Damages around New York State is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions.

There is no telling when tensions will cool, but cities throughout New York State cannot continue down this path. The peaceful protestors have been drowned out by the acts of cowards whose only desire is utter chaos, not justice.

Antifa To Be Declared Terrorist Organization

President Donald Trump announced earlier this week he would be designating Antifa, a far-left group known for its violence and dangerous tactics, as a terrorist organization. This comes on the heels of protests that have turned violent, which many believe to be partially at the direction of Antifa.

United States Attorney General, William Barr, said on Thursday they believe they have evidence to suggest the radical left-wing group, along with other unnamed extremist groups, have worked to delegitimize peaceful protests, turning them into dangerous riots.

“While many have peacefully expressed their anger and grief, others have hijacked protests to engage in lawlessness, violent rioting, arson, looting of businesses, and public property assaults on law enforcement officers and innocent people, and even the murder of a federal agent,” Barr said.

Though the Department of Justice has not yet released the evidence on Antifa’s involvement, they are expected to do so in the coming days.

I commend President Trump for taking the initial steps necessary to designate this dangerous group a terrorist organization. Throughout the years, they have exhibited nothing other than an ability to be a dangerous group of anarchists whose goal is to cause damage, destruction and harm.

Calls to Defund the Police

 While we are all in strong agreement George Floyd’s death never should have occurred. The four men responsible have been fired and arrested for the malicious action – and lack of action – that lead to the untimely death of Mr. Floyd.

The riots, across America, have led to more unnecessary and unwarranted deaths. The riots in New York City (and throughout the state), the attacks on the NYPD and now the call to defund the NYPD are adding gasoline to a raging fire. Defunding the NYPD is the worst possible solution and will ultimately create more havoc and destruction. I am perplexed at the logic behind the arguments of democratic elected officials call for the one government agency that has a sworn duty to protect our city.

I truly wonder of the public’s perception of these same elected officials calling for defunding during riots and looting. Peaceful protests are acceptable; uncontrolled rage, destroying businesses, throwing Molotov cocktails at police cars are not.

Defunding the NYPD allows criminal behavior to flourish and lawful citizens to become fearful of living in a city that would no longer be able to protect them. The vast majority of law enforcement does not look at the color of a person when responding to a call for help; they respond and assess the situation and do what is right to deescalate it.

The men and women of New York’s Finest put their lives on the line every working day to protect the citizens of New York. Should the radical idea of defunding the NYPD be adopted, who will protect the citizens when lawlessness reigns?

Candidate Spotlight Nicole Malliotakis NY11

 Considered one of the country’s top congressional challengers, Nicole is poised to flip New York’s 11^th Congressional district back red in this November’s election.

The daughter of Greek and Cuban immigrants, Nicole was first elected to the New York State Assembly in 2010, defeating an incumbent strongly backed by New York State Democrats. Nicole currently serves as GOP Whip and the ranking minority member of the Assembly Committee on Governmental Employees.

She became a household name as the 2017 Republican nominee for Mayor of the City of New York against incumbent Mayor Bill de Blasio, holding the mayor accountable for the city’s high property taxes, bloated budget, status as a sanctuary city, and City Halls treatment of the NYPD.

During the mayoral race, she earned 67% of the vote inside New York’s 11^th Congressional district, the district she is currently running in to represent.

When did people forget that the NYPD is still the same heroes the public cheered at pandemic’s height.

The NY Post covered yesterday’s presser by Governor Cuomo this way:  Gov. Cuomo quotes Bible during briefing in shot at Trump ‘photo op’.  To be honest, I did not listen to his pontificating yesterday (to hear him quote from the Bible when he is a huge promoter of death to innocent unborn children is not something that I can listen to and stay calm) but you can here.

Today I did and you can also by clicking here.  Today’s presser starts off on a positive note, then (as the real Andrew Cuomo starts pandering again) it gets difficult to listen to.  He notes in the beginning one must be honest.  We agree.  He then walks back his earlier criticism of the NYPD and states quite clearly “that there is no tolerance for violence against a police officer. Period.”  Gov. Cuomo is right with this statement.  Then we have the COVID-19 update, where he starts with the problems of re-opening.  Here we go again; King Andrew lowers the boom and hints that the riots may lead to another lockdown.  He misrepresents the facts to fit what he wants.  Did you know that testing will be open to all those who protested…not sure if looters are included.  These people are making a free choice, but the testing will be an additional expense to all taxpayers.  Since they made the choice to go to a protest; shouldn’t they, at the very least, pay for the test? The cost of the damage done by looters will be another cost all taxpayers will be handed the bill for.  It was one of his better pressers until he got to the questions from the reporters (Forward to the 43 mark and listen.) when he said was “out of the political business…I have no politics.  I’m just going to tell the truth.”  Take a deep breath and listen to him say he just gives the facts.  He says he represents everyone in the state – true, but he has also said that conservatives have no place in New York.  Andrew Cuomo says what he believes will bring him votes.  He wants you to believe “I have no politics.  I am not running for president” and that he is an honest person, just giving facts.  The chameleon struck again.

Today’s presser by Governor Andrew Cuomo is, without doubt, one of worst that he has held over the last 94 days.  In all honesty, I could not listen to all of it.  His patronizing attitude is getting under my skin; but when he said that “the police must stop the looting and the criminal activity – that is the essence of the police…they are supposed to protect the community and protect the property.  They did not do this…” I had to turn it off.  He and the democrats that control the legislature have tied the hands of the police, endangering all New Yorkers, when they passed and he signed the criminal justice reform bill last year!  Your inability to have a reasonable curfew, yet keep people locked in their homes and out of work, shows how little you really care for the citizens of New York who respect the rule of law.

How dare you blame the police for the riots when your insufferable laws and rules have been a major contributor to the chaos that Ne Yorkers have be subjected to, especially this last week.

Andrew Cuomo, the anguish that New York is suffering through lies squarely on your doorstep.

You can and must provide leadership not the insupportable platitudes (required to keep your progressive base happy) that you have been handing out during your pressers.

Darkness Falls; The collapse of the rule of law across the country, intensified by Antifa radicals, is terrifying.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo gets on his soap box again, repeating the same old, same old, then goes off the rails and makes little sense as he goes into the aftermath of the untimely and overwhelming death of George Floyd.  Governor Cuomo does not say a lot that I agree with, however, his assessment of the video being “… it is horrendous, horrendous,  it is frightening and it perverts everything you believe about this country” is a statement that every American/New Yorker can honestly say his assessment is 100% correct.  But then he turns into his political self, invokes his Daddy’s 1984 speech about a Tale of Two City’s that talks about the “inherent injustice” in society.  Andrew M. Cuomo has spent most of his adult life in “public” service, serving as his father’s advisor, with a stint as an ADA in Manhattan, founding the state’s Housing Enterprise for the Less Privileged (HELP) in 1986, in 1993 he was assistant secretary of HUD (Department of Housing and Urban Development) and became Secretary of HUD in 1997 and served until 2001.  In 2002 in ran for governor, dropped out (after making a controversial comment about then-Governor George Pataki’s lack of leadership) worked in real estate until he ran for and was elected as attorney general in 2006, and governor in 2010.  My question to the Governor is simple:  You have had ample time and a loud bully pulpit, why haven’t you made this “inherent injustice” that has plagued society for so long, the most important goal of your political career?  Instead you have chosen to make curtailing the 2^nd Amendment of the US Constitution and LGBT rights your priority and have left the “inherent injustice” to others to resolve.  Are you really that outraged, Governor?  I don’t think so, today’s press conference was nothing more than political grandstanding with faux rage.

Are these two people part of those who are subjected to the “inherent injustice” that Governor Cuomo is talking about?

Assembly Minority Introduces Bill Addressing Future Emergencies

Assembly Republicans introduced a bill this week that would limit the power of the Governor and hand more authority and decision making to local officials in future emergency situations.

“Undoubtedly, there will be times when immediate, direct action is needed from the Executive,” Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay said. “However, ‘state of emergency’ doesn’t equate to ‘authoritarian rule.’ In any situation, a balanced, measured approach is necessary and the full complement of government must be levied. This bill ensures just that, and that every voice in New York is heard during times of crisis.”

In early March, Governor Cuomo declared New York in a state of emergency. This allowed him to change laws, which he has since done more than 260 times.

The bill would call for a county-by-county declaration of all state emergencies, lasting for no longer than 30 days. An additional 15 days emergency order could be extended by the Governor. However, no other emergency declaration would be extended without being voted on by the State Legislature. Additionally, a county executive, chair of a county board of supervisors, and the mayor of New York City, could request any state of emergency declaration be cancelled with justification.

Livingston County Chair Leads Way

Livingston County Conservative Chairman, and Executive Director of New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms, Jason McGuire, helped secure a win for religious freedom after advocating fiercely that houses of worship be allowed to open.

“On March 31, our organization (New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms) wrote to the Governor’s office seeking clarification on the issue of drive-in services. Since March many Churches have been holding these types of services as a way to meet in a safe and socially-distant manner. Today, Mr. Cuomo said that he would be encouraging drive-in and parking lot services. Pastors have been putting the physical, mental and spiritual health of their congregations in proper perspective for some time, but today the Governor lent his voice to the effort,” McGuire said last week.

The Governor has mandated church services be capped at 10 people.

A letter signed by more than 300 pastors was sent to the Governor asking him to prioritize in-person religious services.

“If you can safely do a First Amendment press conference, you can also let people exercise their freedom of religion,” McGuire continued.

Candidate Spotlight Liz Joy NY 20

 A devoted wife and mother to four adult children, Liz is a fierce advocate and fighter for our constitutional freedoms. A candidate of integrity, Liz will not be absent from her district, nor afraid to do the work on behalf of the constituents in New York’s 20^th Congressional District.

Liz is no stranger to a fight, in the fall of 2018, she single handedly fought off a knife yielding man intent on doing fatal harm. After engaging in hand to hand combat, she was able to call for help, undoubtedly saving the life of at least one person.

Strong on the right to life, the southern border, jobs, and the economy, Liz will represent NY20 with humility and grace, and an open heart, always remembering the congressional seat belongs to the people of her district, not the representative.
