“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it”-Ronald Reagan
This week, in the only debate Andrew Cuomo would agree to (he can’t be bothered with upstate issues), conservative Marc Molinaro stood his ground against the Cuomo machine’s bullying tactics.
The case against Cuomo is strong, and Molinaro made some great points – which of his debate statements is your favorite? That’s the first question in our new Weekly Poll.
Meanwhile Barack Obama is “making stuff up” about the Trump economic boom, which you may recall our 44th president said was impossible. Obama said that we’d need a “magic wand” to jumpstart the U.S. economy, but his economic incompetence is being exposed by President Trump.
The left has no substantive ideas beyond recycling socialism and biggergovernment – so of course they’re trying to change the subject by blaming President Trump for this week’s bomb scares, even as liberal politicians and the media have ignored actual violence against conservatives.
And then there’s the “caravan” – but let’s call it what it really is, an invasion. Talk about election meddling – who is funding this spectacle? Fortunately we have a President who actually believes that America and our borders are worth defending.
How concerned are you about this new threat to America’s sovereignty and security? That’s the third and final question in our new Weekly Poll.
Tina Moore and Bruce Golding write that Gov. Cuomo forgets FALN attacks while discussing NYC terrorism; he didn’t forget, it just did not serve his narrative. Does anyone know why Governor Cuomo had to be part of the press conference yesterday? Thankfully no one was hurt and no bombs exploded , but the Governor felt the need to let the world know he was in control, and to say that he had also received a “device” which happened to be a thumb drive. Yet he never knew that his personal executive assistant was making campaign phone calls from his public office. If you believe that, we have a bridge to sell you.
It has been almost three years since we had the privilege of having J. J. Hanson speak at our Conservative Party Political Action Conference, if you were there, I am certain that you remember his courage and faith. Listen to the Daily Signal podcastwith his wife, Kristen, on why he was opposed to physicians assisted suicide. Thank you, Kristen. Rest in Peace, J. J.
Did you watch the debate last evening? If not, you can watch it here. The New York Post editorial sums it up with this: In debate, Andrew Cuomo shifts from chicken to bully. Bully is mild considering his constant interruptions and telling the moderator that he was speaking. If you watch a moderate amount of TV in the evening, you cannot escape from the commercials berating bullying in school, yet, we have a governor who is the biggest bully – and proud of being a bully – in New York State. What kind of message is this sending the children we are trying to teach that bullying is unwarranted, unjustified and undeserved? Make the message clear on November 6: No Bullies in the bully pulpit! Vote for Marc Molinaro on the Conservative Line.
Here is how Ken Lovett describes the debate: Cuomo unleashes his inner Mike Tyson in feisty debate with GOP challenger Molinaro. He ends his column with this “Cuomo is expected to remain New York’s leading heavyweight.” Again, is this the image we want as Governor when we have a concerted effort to eliminate bullying? Even Ken Lovett’s column portrays Governor Cuomo as a bully.
The one, and so far, only debate between Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Marc Molinaro, will be on television tonight. Click here to find out where you can watch it. As the NY Post editorial writes today. “It’s about time Cuomo agreed to a debate.”
Bob McManus also writes today that ‘Chicken’ Cuomo will keep on dodging and has great questions that should be asked of Governor Cuomo, but we all know that Governor Cuomo will not answer them, even if he were asked. Maybe that is why the debate is taped.
The Empire Center takes a hard look at the employment numbers for the last 10 years and there is only one conclusion: the last eight years have seen a sharp and growing economic divide between upstate and downstate. Read the report here.
Jonathan Trichter critiques Comptroller DiNapoli on lack of oversight in protecting taxpayer’s funds.
Cory Booker: did you fail American History? Lofty ideal; unfeasible economically. It really is pitifully inferior to propose such an impracticable, unworkable, impossible idea to those who think it would be possible.
Gillibrand sheds chicken suit, agrees to ABC-TV debate. The Gillibrand-Farley debate will air on WABC-TV and be held on Thursday, at 1:30 pm and be made available for their local political show, Up Close with Bill Ritter, and to statewide affiliates. We will post the time on Thursday or before, if available.
Cuomo finally agrees to in-person TV debate with GOP challenger. Gov. Andrew “chicken” Cuomo finally agreed to a TV debate that would be taped on Tuesday 1:30 p.m. in the studios of WCBS/Channel 2 and air Tuesday night at 7 p.m. on the local affiliate and on radio. Personally, I am looking forward to how Governor Cuomo explains his “pay-to-play” schemes like this one; of course, it has to asked and the likelihood of having it asked by the moderator is slim to none.
If the NY Post hosted the debate, you could rest assured hard questions would be pursued. Fortunately, the NY Post exposes all that they can through their newspaper — and hopefully, NYC voters are reading it as unlike other NYC newspapers, the NY Post doesn’t hide behind a paywall (yet!)
If this caravan can overcome the combined efforts of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and the U.S., why can’t they overtake Honduras and make it more like America? It isn’t about escaping conflict, generalized violence and targeted persecution – it is about free handouts from our government. Trump says he’s reducing Central American aid over migrants; use the aid money to BUILD THE WALL!
President Trump is taking the fight to his enemies with a historic media blitz – and he’s apparently having a lot of fun doing it.
You could see that in his one-on-one with Lesley Stahl of “60 Minutes” this past Sunday, as he laid out his accomplishments: “When you look at taxes, you look at regulations, you look at– making deals with other countries. Nobody’s been able to do anything like this. Actually, most people didn’t even try because they knew they didn’t have the ability to do it.”
President Trump touched on several issues, including the media, the Russia investigation, NATO, and illegal immigration. I’ve picked out some of my favorite quotes – which one do you like the most? That’s the first question in our new Weekly Poll.
Meanwhile the Democrats continue to encourage and actually resort to violence (plus some unhinged conspiracy theories) in response to President Trump’s success. There’s a War on Women going on – not even 9/11 widows are safe from the fury of the left – and Nancy Pelosi thinks that’s just fine.
On the campaign trail, the Democrats’ Senate candidates have had quite a week.
In Virginia, Sen. Tim Kaine encouraged the liberals’ mob mentality…
In North Dakota, Sen. Heidi Heitkamp’s campaign outed sexual assault victims…
In New Jersey, the ethically-challenged Sen. Robert Menendez is turning to Hillary Clinton for help…
In Arizona, leftist Krysten Sinema has a history of bashing her own state…
In Tennessee, Phil Bredesen’s campaign was caught telling the truth about the candidate’s Kavanaugh stand in an undercover sting…
And in Texas, media darling Beto O’Rourke is supporting impeachment…
No wonder Rush Limbaugh is predicting GOP gains in the Senate and even success in House races. President Trump has certainly energized individuals to get involved.
I know most friends of the Conservative Party follow politics across the country. Which Democrat Senate candidate outside of New York do you like the LEAST in this year’s campaigns? That’s the second question in our new Weekly Poll.
Here in New York, as we’ve mentioned this week, Andrew Cuomo is rightfully being labeled a “coward” for refusing to debate Marc Molinaro.
Why do you think that is – does Andrew not want to face questions about all the “coincidental” corruption in the Albany Swamp? Does he want to avoid tricky issues like marijuana legalization? Or does the governor think he’s above the law and those above answering questions?
That’s the third and final question in our new Weekly Poll – let me know what you think, and have a great weekend!
‘Coward’ Cuomo still refusing to debate his GOP challenger. Even disgraced Elliot Spitzer criticized Andrew for not agreeing to a debate as of today’s date.
The NY Post editorial ends with this, “Maybe Cuomo is just chicken — or maybe he figures that an open debate might hurt him so badly that he could actually lose. (emphasis added.)”
Apparently, the fact that Andrew Cuomo doesn’t like to be confronted by things that may upset him, is a trait that his father, Mario, also had. Kathleen Gallagher writes about the Gosnell movie and what happened way back when Mario was asked to visit an abortion mill by a fellow democrat.
Michael Goodwin’s column in today’s NY Post says it all: One party rule has left New York in a sorry state. Read it. Circulate it. Take it to heart. There are only two choices for governor; Andrew Cuomo or Marc Molinaro. No other candidate has a chance to win! If you care one iota about the future of New York, heed Michael Goodwin’s column. You CAN make a difference. New York CAN become the Empire State again, but if voters allow one party rule, it will never, ever happen.
George J. Marlin writes in Newsmax about the unhinged dems out to destroy the Electoral College that gave us Lincoln.
The fact that the movie Gosnell cracked the top 10 at the box office on Friday and Saturday, is great news for the pro-life movement in America and hopefully around the world. This headline, however, dashes that hope; perhaps everyone on the United Nations Human Rights Council should be encouraged to see the pain, anxiety, depression and death caused by Gosnell’s abortion mill. Kathryn Jean Lopez has a compelling article in National Review that explains that the movie Gosnell is an opportunity to really take a look at not only the laws but also the culture of abortion and possibly change the minds of people like those on the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Nicole Gelinas writes in the NY Post: Angry about the subways? Send Cuomo a message. We will go one step further: Vote for Marc Molinaro on theConservative Party Line, that really sends the message.
The Bob McManus is spot on in his Saturday Op-Ed piece: Andrew Cuomo is on the verge of absolute power over New York. As CPNYS noted on Saturday: Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Only you can end Governor Cuomo’s megalomania need for absolute power: Vote for Marc Molinaro on the Conservative Line.
Another democrat who displays the need for power is Hillary Clinton. Can you believe that she actually said on national television that her husband did not abuse his power when president with his intern, Monica Lewinsky, because she was an adult at the time. When will the press and the public realize this woman is unable to tell the truth about anything. She is so out of touch with reality, that it is almost like watching a person on the verge of self-immolation and you want to rush in and save them. Think about what she said, then realize this woman almost became president of the United States, she sees nothing wrong with what her husband did. It doesn’t bother her that he lied under oath and questioned the meaning of is. Or that there are many able to corroborate the facts told by others who her husband forced himself on. I guess, since they were adults also, Hillary Clinton believes it is okay. Twisted beliefs. Okay for Bill, not okay for anyone else. On second thought, let her twisted beliefs continue to be aired on national television; people have the right to know just how twisted her beliefs are.
Keep in mind that even before the Kavanaugh debacle, Republicans have been shot, assaulted, harassed in restaurants and stalked at their homes – and amazingly, Democrats think that their main flaw is that they’re not ruthless enough!
What scares you the most about the Democrats’ mob politics? That’s the first question in our new Weekly Poll.
The media is also aiding and abetting the liberals’ violent behavior while downplaying the tactics that put lives in jeopardy. Remember when peaceful Tea Party protesters were described as a “mob” by biased journalists? Now liberal rioters are being cast as “people who are upset” – and media commentators are actively encouraging violence.
In your opinion, how bad was the media’s bias during the Kavanaugh saga? That’s the second question in our new Weekly Poll.
With the midterm elections coming up, we’re seeing evidence that the Democrats’ mob politics are backfiring and that their “blue wave” is drying up. And with states under liberal rule suffering the most (we know that firsthand here in New York), it’s no surprise that Democrats won’t actually say what they’ll do if they are given control of Congress.
What do you think is the most important reason for conservatives to get out and vote in this year’s elections? That’s the third and final question in our new Weekly Poll.
Why did the former Attorney General of the United States stoop so low? Democrats say that there is no civility on the right, yet, at every opportunity they can, they denigrate those that dare to think differently. And he, Holder, wants to be the next president.
Senator Charles Schumer appears to have found a new career – he whipped out a red pen to correct President Trump’s Op-Ed on Medicare for All plan being promoted by many democrats.

James O’Keefe strikes again…his latest video will give Taylor Swift a rude awakening regarding the candidate she is supporting.
“Gosnell” the movie opens tomorrow. The Daily Signal explains the need to film this movie about the worst abortionist ever. The Washington Times also explains why this film was necessary.
