NYPD Comes Under Attack

It was a startling week to say the least for the NYPD as the 41 Precinct endured through two assassination attempts  in a 12 hour span. By the grace of God, the two officers shot were treated for none life-threatening wounds and have both since been released from the hospital.

The attacks came on the heels of an anti-police rally that saw protestors vandalize MTA stations in defiance of subway fairs and increased NYPD presence on trains.

NYPD Sergeants Benevolent Association President, Ed Mullins visited the White House Wednesday days after declaring “war” on New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio who has his own history of anti-police rhetoric.

“The Trump administration is very aware of the plight of police officers in NYC and is closely monitoring the situation. @realDonaldTrump has our backs” said a tweet sent from the SBA account.

Criminal mischief and activity has risen in 2020 throughout NYC. Sweeping bail and discovery reforms that went into effect January 1, have had police, in some instances, arresting and re-arresting offenders within days of their release.

Albany Democrats have been reluctant to repeal the reforms despite recommendations from law enforcement professionals and judges. In January, a resolution was brought to the floor by Senate Republicans. The resolution failed on a party line vote.

 

Trump, Cuomo Meet to Discuss Global Entry for New Yorkers

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo met with President Trump Thursday to discuss the D.H.S.’s suspension of the Global Entry program for New Yorker’s.  Last week, D.H.S. Secretary Chad Wolfe announced New Yorker’s would no longer be allowed to enroll in the Trusted Travelers program due to New York State withholding access to DMV information from the Federal law enforcement agencies.

Governor Cuomo handed the Trump administration a win when he announced the state would indeed offer access, but on a limited basis. President Trump and the D.H.S. continue to request more access, which has been denied as of this writing.

“The president said that this is an issue he wants to work on and that he would follow up with the governor next week,” said communications director Dani Lever.

President Trump and Governor Cuomo have agreed to continuing conversation regarding the Global Entry ban, but as of Friday afternoon, the ban remains in effect.

Restricting security agencies the access needed to protect New Yorker’s, and our neighbors, is troubling. New York experienced the deadliest terror attack this country has ever seen. Impeding those tasked with keeping us safe is unconscionable and irresponsible. The job of our elected officials, is to first and foremost, keep us safe and protected from any danger both foreign and domestic.

I look forward to Governor Cuomo granting the access necessary to ensure we never re-live another September 11, 2001 or experience anything like it.

 

President Trump Endorses Malliotakis, Tenney

 On Wednesday President Trump officially endorsed two New York Congressional challengers.

Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, running in New York’s 11^th Congressional district, continues to raise money and campaign at a rate that has captured the attention of the White House and President Donald Trump.

“I know her well, we need her to defeat Max Rose, who voted for Impeachment!” President Trump tweeted. Adding “she loves our Military & Vets. Nicole has my Complete & Total Endorsement!”

A top 10 race in the Country, Malliotakis looks to recapture the historically Republican district this November.

In New York’s 22^nd Congressional district, challenger Claudia Tenney, who represented the district from 2017-2019,  earned the support of President Trump.

‘Claudia Tenney is a fantastic candidate running in New York, where she was a great member of Congress,” the President tweeted. “Claudia has my complete and total endorsement!” added the President.

 

Sustaining Memberships

 I would like to thank everyone who has contributed and become a sustaining member of the Conservative Party.

You allow us to run our political party and support Conservative candidates statewide.

Democratic leadership in Albany has made it clear, tax paying, law abiding citizens are the enemy. One party control has made our state less safe, and now, they are looking to raise taxes as we stare down the barrel of a $10 billion budget deficit.

Your contributions allow us to support candidates, good causes and fight for good government. We are excited about our prospects of taking back seats at the state and federal level.

Please visit our website and consider making a contribution. I greatly appreciate your support!

State Democrats open door to fixing awful ‘no-bail’ reforms — but will they do enough?  The bigger question is will they bring Speaker Heastie on board?  We cannot emphasize enough, cashless bail is only part of the problem with this law; the changes to “discovery” are by far a bigger problem, in that it is an almost impossible hurdle to overcome.  Most of the coverage is on cashless bail, which may be resolved by giving judges all their discretion back, however, if the new “discovery” rules are not adjusted, it is only a matter of time before tragedy strikes.  Manhattan DA might not prosecute cases because of criminal justice reforms.  Sign our petition here.

This headline gets your attention:  Buttigieg: Heroin Possession Won’t Be Illegal Under My Administration.  While we all understand the horrors of addiction, does the Mayor believe that the drug dealers shouldn’t be prosecuted?  Shame on him, if he does.  The article does not make it clear if that is his intent; but it does state that there were 67,000 drug overdose deaths in 2018, and those pushing and selling the drugs that caused those deaths, should be incarcerated.

Kudos to Justice Michael Mackey for issuing  a common-sense  temporary restraining order halting the Empire State’s new lightning-rod rule that renters can no longer be charged broker’s fees.  Let’s hope that the temporary restraining order becomes permanent.

Governor Cuomo, this is just wrong.  An issue as volatile is making marijuana a legal, recreational drug, should not be included in a budget bill.  It should stand alone, and be openly debated on the floor of the legislature, with all the facts exposed.  Stop looking at the legalization of marijuana as a financial resource; the costs associated with legalization of marijuana will drive New York’s debt deeper in the budget hole.

As noted in the NY Post editorial, No, Speaker Heastie, massive flaws in no-bail law are not ‘fake news’, the criminal justice reforms passed in last years’ budget is proving to be the biggest misguided mistake made in any legislature in recent times.

Hoping Dermot Shea keeps fighting anti-cop extremists, including ones in office is another excellent column by Bob McManus.

Members of the NYS Legislature should note the problems California is facing since they passed AB5.

In case you missed this Saturday article in the NY Post:  Teachers’ union boss Mike Mulgrew launches campaign against Cuomo Medicaid plan.  Mulgrew said “Why am I doing this? I stand up for New York City,” the union boss told The Post Friday night.  In reality, Mr. Mulgrew was standing up for his union, knowing full well, that the more that has to be paid for Medicaid, the less there will be for schools.  Should be an interesting budget process…with everyone wanting a larger piece of the pie.

President Trump Acquitted.

If democrats are going to beat President Trump in 2020, it’s going to be at the polls. No political stunts or sham impeachments; it will be up to the American people to decide.

The United States Senate’s vote to acquit the President ended yet another attempt to overturn the 2016 election at the cost of the taxpayers. Millions of dollars were wasted on a senseless show trial to divide the nation even further for political gain. Now, Democrats have come up empty – again.

We are experiencing an economic boom few could have predicted. With today’s announcement of  225,000 jobs added in January, increased participation in the labor force and average hourly earnings exceeding expectations, it is time Washington D.C. collectively continue to build on the impressive accomplishments achieved by President Trump and his administration.

It is imperative Democrats in Washington D.C. show a willingness to work with Republicans and get back to work to help the President move his America First agenda forward.

DHS Steps In, Places Ban on New Yorker’s From Enrolling in Global Entry

Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, Chad Wolfe, put a halt on New Yorker’s ability to apply for Global Entry due to New York’s Green Light Law which allows illegal citizens to obtain drivers licenses.

“DHS would prefer to continue our longstanding cooperative relationship with New York on a variety of these critical homeland security initiatives,” he wrote, “this act and the corresponding lack of security cooperation from the New York DMV requires DHS’s effort to protect the homeland are not compromised.”

The Green Light Law prevent Government agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection from doing their jobs by gaining access to the state’s DMV databases.

Conservative/Republican State Legislators warned New York Democrats and Governor Cuomo in early 2019 that their decision to defy security agencies by withholding information from the Federal Government would come with implications and consequences.

Still, Governor Cuomo and his administration saw it best to undermine national security and continue to put illegal citizens ahead of safety, security, and law-abiding citizens who wish to have access to Global Entry.

Happy Birthday Chairman Emeritus Mike Long

Please join me in wishing Chairman Emeritus Long a very happy (belated) birthday! The Conservative Party remains grateful now and forever for Mike Long’s leadership, guidance and steady hand.

We look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with the Chairman Emeritus.

Today would be  the 109^th birthday of Ronald W. Reagan, our 40^th President.  A man who once said, “Let us be sure that those who come after will say of us in our time, that in our time we did everything that could be done. We finished the race; we kept them free; we kept the faith.”  Ronald Reagan was a man who understood that America is the first nation that placed her faith in the people.  Our Declaration of Independence made it possible for America to become the greatest nation ever.  We have provided untold assistance to other nations in need, we have raised the standard of living  throughout the world, we, as a nation, are committed to doing good,  and yesterday, the majority of our representatives in the United States Senate did what was good for the United States of America, they acquitted President Donald J. Trump.  President Trump, like every person who walks on this earth, has his flaws, but of this I am absolutely certain, President Donald J. Trump would never harm our nation for his personal gain.

Unfortunately, many will not agree; Sen. Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, Congressmen Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler, to name a few.  They will continue to do all they can to prevent a second term for President Trump.  They forget one thing; our Declaration of Independence – while enacted to unshackle us from the British Crown – empowered citizens to choose their leaders, and gave citizens, not the oligarchs committed to maintaining their own personal power, the ability to choose their own government.   In 271 days, the people will decide who will lead this great nation, and I seriously doubt it will be the ones who controlled the government and stretched laws to their breaking point to maintain their fiefdoms.

Words of Wisdom from Walter E. Williams.

Jay Jacobs is right, but for all the wrong reasons.  His priority should be the safety of all New Yorkers, not protecting his incumbents.  We have repeated stated that the Criminal Justice Reform is not only about cashless bail; it is also about the 15-day discovery period that gives pertinent information to the defense team, including, but not limited to, personal phone numbers, home and cell, addresses, witnesses, the right to visit the crime scene without any thing being changed, and if it isn’t handed over, the charges are dropped.  Cashless bill, is one thing, but these new discovery standards are almost impossible to accomplish.   While all the “noise” is about cashless bail, and tweaks may eventually be made to give Judges some discretion (but not until legislators know if they are in a primary) the elephant in the room is the 15-day discovery.

Hopefully, judges, like this, (with backbone) will help:  Cohoes judge issues order challenging state’s bail reform law.

Unfortunately,  Speaker Heastie seems to think there is nothing wrong with the new law, it just needs to have some more time to make it work.

We are not sensationalizing the issue; we are doing our best to be certain the safety of all New Yorkers comes first and foremost.  Yes, it is difficult to raise bail money and some are truly first time offenders and the alleged crime may be minor, but the victims of the crime need to know they will not be victimized again by the perpetrator, nor will they be set free because the DA’s office was unable to provide the required information within 15 days.  Sign our petition here.

I’m still trying to figure out how the democrats will blame the republicans for this fiasco.  Iowa chaos: Democrats undone by reporting fiasco; Buttigieg declares victory, Bernie counters.   Hillary, of course, will do all she can to distance herself from Gerard Niemiram who created the APP responsible for the chaos.  If it wasn’t so serious, it would actually be pretty funny; sometimes the tried and true is best.

Why Socialism Often Leads to Tyranny.

Thank you, Rush, because of you we are all ditto heads.

Senator Bernie Sanders is so misguided:  Sanders attempts to lead Generation Z into a socialist paradise.  What is even more upsetting is that Generation Z is willing to believe that his socialist paradise exists. Did they sleep through history classes, or again, what is more upsetting, were they taught the history of socialism?  Do they even delve into the hypocrisy of Sen. Sanders campaigns?  Bernie Sanders’ $16.3T climate plan would phase out fossil fuels; yet, he thinks nothing of using a private jet to fly around.  Hmm, come to think of it, Sen. Sanders is a true socialist –peasants should work so he can live the life of luxury.  Wake up, Generation Z!

Michael Bloomberg, created a business that has paid him very well and he can afford living the life of luxury.  Bloomberg Drops $200 Million on Campaign in First Five Weeks.  But like the others running in the democratic primary, he espouses punishing the people who have made substantial money and corporations which ultimately hurts consumers by raising their prices or is unable to hire more employees.

The Democratic Party has a problem.  Their leading socialist and capitalist candidates both want to end the economic boom Americans have experienced under President Donald J. Trump.  What do they have against us?  What do they have against America?

Perhaps it is time to remember E.B. White’s forgotten story about the tyranny of good intentions.

Here is a report that is very interesting regarding how progressives cities betray their commitment to educational opportunity for all.

Governor Cuomo:  would you please explain this.  NY and CA spend billions more in taxes than TX and FL — and get worse results.  If unable, we would be happy to explain to you how to cut the unnecessary spending.  (We will also explain it to all your fellow democrats and the federal, state and local level.)

This editorial in the Daily Gazette suggests New York should focus on the solutions as to why people are leaving New York.  Do we really need a panel to study why when we all know why?  It seems to me that a panel is just buying time; we know the problems…taxes, regulations, poor business opportunities.  Change the mindset of elected officials; isn’t it about time elected officials stop putting their re-election before the needs of the citizens of this great state?

Michael Goodwin made a good point in his Sunday column:  Hillary Clinton ended the practice of humble concessions.  Hillary is obviously still bitter over losing.  And it appears Speaker Pelosi is becoming just like her.

Here is an open letter from State Senator Gallivan on NY’s Bail Reform Law.  We are in an election year; we must be certain to elect like-minded people to get the changes necessary in the ill-thought out law.  Sign our petition today, if you haven’t already.  Then get involved in the process to elect people that put the safety of our citizens first.
