Weekly Wrap-Up

As Democrats play politics with America’s national security, President Trump gave the United Nations a much-needed dose of true straight talk

When everybody from Hillary Clinton to the President of Iran is outraged, you know Trump is doing something right.

And he’s following up his words on North Korea with action.

What was your favorite line from President Trump’s United Nation’s speech? That’s the first question in our new Weekly Poll – and let me tell you, it was almost impossible to narrow it down to a reasonable number of choices. Here is a transcript: I encourage you to read the whole thing several times, to fully grasp how well our President defends our country.

I’m also wondering what you think is the biggest (and best) difference between President Trump and President Obama. That’s our second Poll question for the week.

And finally – what do you think is the biggest problem with the United Nations? The endless corruption? The exorbitant cost? The waste and mismanagement? The coddling of dictators and anti-Semites?

As President Trump continues to keep his conservative promises, Hillary’s sour grapes tour is going full-speed-ahead. She seems delusional, as do many of her supporters.

Right now the Democrats’ biggest health care thinkers are a Socialist, a late-night talk show host, and a dishonest ex-President. No wonder their party is in shambles.

There’s nothing the Democrats’ won’t exploit to save Obamacare, or to defend illegal immigration, for that matter.

Speaking of Obama and dishonesty – we could be reaching Nixon-levels of corruption here.

You’ve probably heard liberals talk endlessly about how this year’s hurricanes are the result of global warming.  Don’t believe them.

But this you can believe – Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio have made a mess of New York’s subways, among many other things. And if you ever hear Cuomo talk about health care for the “indigent” – remember the real story.

Have a great weekend!

Daily Update

Good news is coming from Washington, DC:  At last, the GOP moves toward tax cuts.  The Daily Signal has more on the push for tax reform.   Even Obama’s Julia would have a better life because of tax reform.  

And, more good news, this from the White House:  Trump signs order targeting North Korea’s trade partners. Here is Fox News’ coverage of President Trump’s proposal and, of course, the North Korean response.   Marc A. Thiessen, explains why the left hated Trump’s U.N. speech.  Paul Kengor has a history lesson for those who have forgotten the response when President Bill Clinton threatened to “end” North Korea.  Here is Charles Hurt’s analysis on President Trump’s UN speech. 

Thank you Guy Benson, if you didn’t write this column, Pelosi: Let’s Face It, DREAMers’ Parents Did Something ‘Great’ By Breaking Our Laws, we would not know what lengths Congresswoman Pelosi would go to try justifying her position.  

Yes, Ronald Reagan was a labor hero.  

Malliotakis camp says private poll shows she still has a chance.  Nicole is campaigning all over the city and is certainly not being ignored by the media which helps her get her message out. Won’t you help her help NYC end the reign of Mayor de Blasio who, after being Mayor for almost 4 years still has to use a cheat sheet.  

When you control the membership, you get exactly what you want.  

Kudos to County Executive Rob Astorino!   He has a better understanding of the US Constitution than our current Governor.  John Testa, the County Board of Legislators Minority Leader, supports Mr. Astorino’s position.  

Our education system is failing America; it seems to be purposefully trying to destroy what makes America great…from within.  This poll is an eye-opener to those of us who thank God every day that we are born in America!  

 

 

Daily Update

Mayor Bill de Blasio is not looking out for you, but what else is new.   After almost four years in office, the Mayor and the City Council are rushing to pass a “construction safety” bill that in fact is just a gift to the building-trades unions. The Daily News also slams the proposal; “It is, rather, yet another quintessentially Council push to pile layer upon layer of unmanageable bureaucracy upon an industry that could instead use an intelligently focused reform.”  

Wasteful spending of your money!   On November 7, you can just say NO to his wasteful spending and elect Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis.  Assemblywoman Malliotakis is getting the attention of the national press, here is a Daily Caller article and an older one from USA Today.  

Yes, we agree, more people should be involved in public hearings, however, providing free babysitting is not the answer.  Considering the salaries “earned” by the members, shouldn’t they have public hearings at a time more convenient for the public?  Aren’t taxpayers soaked enough with the “good” ideas passed by NYC Council Members?  

Oh boy, put your seat-belts on!  Governor Cuomo, who has let his true progressive beliefs out of the closet he placed them in 2010, will be pouring them on in order to avoid a primary with Syracuse Mayor Miner who is cozy with the NY Progressive Action Network.

Sen. Joni Ernst has introduced a bill that makes complete sense.  Let’s see who votes for it, if it makes it to the floor.  The bill only has two sponsors as of now, neither being Sen. McConnell.  Of course, Sen. Schumer and Sen. Gillibrand are not on the bill either.  I’m going to call them and ask them to sponsor.  Will you call or email them also? 

Ben Woolfgang writes in the Washington Times — In U.N. address, Trump replaces Obama’s soft talk with big stick., isn’t that refreshing.  In case you missed his speech, here it is.  The NY Sun spines on Trump at Turtle Bay.  

Kudos to Congressman John Faso….looking out for all his constituents!  

Wednesday’s with Walter E. Williams.  

 

 

Daily Update

President Donald J. Trump warns North Korea.  “The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea,” he said in his address to the UN General Assembly, prompting gasps from the assembled world leaders.  Personally, I am relieved that we have a President willing to stand up for America, and her allies,  in an arena that expects every nation to be meek, mild and timid when it comes to being bullied by miscreant leaders.  Leading conservative pundit, Donald Devine, opines that the best option we have is to build a missile defense wall, he may be 100% right, but in the meantime, let the bullying miscreant leader wonder what our President will do.  According to Governor Jerry Brown – the far left leader of a state that believes government solves all problems, I don’t have to worry because I dwell in deep, dark caves..  So, Gov. Moonbeam, when did America become part of Shaanxi province in China where people really do live in caves today?  By the way, Governor Moonbeam, when did you come out of your deep, dark cave to enslave the people of California?  Gov. Moonbeam, I will stand with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — who lives with the threat of terror every day — who said:  Trump’s UN Speech Was the Most Courageous in 30 Years.  

Trump hints at possible withdraw from Iran nuclear deal.  .  Isn’t it refreshing to have our President standing strong for America smack in the middle of an organization that would like to weaken the United States in the eyes of the nations that comprise the United Nations.? 

Does anyone feel sorry for Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi?  Apparently, in her long career of giving away our hard-earned tax dollars, it never occurred to her that the takes would demand more.  Obviously, Ms. Pelosi, discounts the old adage “give a person an inch, and they will take a mile.”  Larry Horist opines in Punching Bag Media, that Trumps position on DACA proves he is a constitutionalist.  

Is the Con-Con a Con?  As the article indicates, politics make strange bedfellows, all told, however, the Con-Con is a Con and we urge a NO vote on the back of the ballot you will cast in the November general election.  

Robert Knight writes in the Washington Times that vote fraudsters double their opportunities. 

Someone should tell Sen. Paul that the Investor’s Business Daily thinks the GOP’s last-ditch effort to repeal ObamaCare is surprisingly good

Daily Update

Today’s NY Post editorial begins with this, “If Mayor de Blasio wins a second term this November, it’s a safe bet that he’ll spend even less of it doing his job than he has these last four years — and more of it chasing his out-of-town ambitions.”  Of course, the operative word is “if” and when voters  pay attention to the mayoral race, there is no way he will be re-elected!  Our candidate, Nicole Malliotakis, is at every possible event reaching out to all and giving them every sound reason to be elected in November.  New York City needs Nicole Malliotakis as Mayor, a woman dedicated to New York City not looking to parlay the position into being a national political icon who thinks local government would exercise direct control over all construction plans–determining who gets to live in which apartments

Mayor de Blasio isn’t the only elected official that admires oppressive nation, add Sen. Diane Savino to the list of people who admire nations that denies its citizens the freedoms found in America.  

This is shameful; rest assured, Assemblywoman Malliotakis would be a much better manager of the public education system.   

Apparently, the “smartest” woman in the world, does not know you really cannot destroy paper trails.   Wow:  Washington Post: No Hillary, Comey Didn’t Cost You the Election.  

Did you know 64% of Americans have positive views of police officers, while 16% offer a neutral assessment, and 18% view the police in negative terms.  We hope you will attend our 2017 Fall Reception (Thursday, October 12, 2017) that will honor the men and women who wear the blue.  For information on our event, click here.

Weekly Wrap-Up

Immigration is front-and-center in this week’s news.

President Trump’s DACA negotiations with the Democrats have all sides scrambling.  Is this set to be the next big win for the Trump Administration and the country? Is it too problematic to proceed? Or is it President Trump’s “read my lips” moment?

Meanwhile in New York, Andrew Cuomo has signed an executive order prohibiting state agencies from inquiring about individuals’ immigration status – another sell-out to the left, and the latest step in Cuomo’s presidential campaign.

Here is our statement on this upending of the law. Now I want to know what you think – Just how destructive do you think Governor Cuomo’s executive order protecting illegal immigrants will be? That’s the first question in our new Weekly Poll.

Meanwhile Democrats are stampeding to support Bernie Sanders’s disastrous “health care for all” plan and follow the old-school socialist right off the fiscal cliff. Does the left understand just how radical socialized health care really is? Or, to put it less charitably, what a joke it is? Even supporters of the Canadian version acknowledge the wait times involved. (There’ll be no waiting, of course, for taxpayer-funded abortions.)

What do you think is the WORST aspect of the Bernie Sanders-Democrats’ “Medicare for All” socialized health care plan?  That’s the second question in our new Weekly Poll.

Also this week, Hillary Clinton’s giant carousel of self-pity continued spinning out of control. Here is a pie-chart of blame – there’s plenty to go around. Between attacking the Constitution and showing Americans how to breathe, Hillary also arrogantly instructed President Trump to read her book “It Takes a Village.”

I’ve compiled a few titles that Hillary might do well to read over – from selfhelp works to accounts of true leadership to policy analysis and character studies, and even a work from the President himself. Which book do you think Hillary should be reading? Make your pick in the third question in our new Weekly Poll.

Have a great weekend!

Daily Update

The woman only knows how to pour salt on an open wound.  I have said many times in this blog that Hillary should just go away, and I really so not want to cover anything she says or does.  But to imply that the tragic deaths of Ambassador Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Glen Dougherty and Sean Smith hurt her politically is beyond outrageous.  Shame on you Hillary Clinton!  This pours more salt on our nation’s open wound.

He’s back!  Sen. Bernie Sanders wants single-payer health care.  When California dismisses its single=payer health care plan because of the expense, our advice to you, Sen. Sanders, is don’t hold your breath.  

The early morning headlines screamed —  Donald and the Dems have a deal on DACA.  Not so fast says The Donald — no DACA deal yet.  Talking about a DACA deal is good, at least everyone knows there is an elephant in the room and while tempers flare, at the very least, the discussion is serious.  If President Trump does not keep his word, it will be a very long and yes, ugly, three years.  Every person who has a heart, to quote President Trump,  also knows, any deal without an absolute end to illegal immigration — and all the perks illegals are handed — is the end of the Trump Administration.  If President Trump fails to negotiate the deal he promises his base, his base would not have left him, he would have left his base.  Mr. President:  The deal is in your court.  

Good advice from Betsy McCaughey:  Justices Should Toss Dems’ Phony Election Lawsuit.  

Less than 15% of eligible NYC voters participated in the democratic primary for mayor on Tuesday.  Assemblywoman Malliotakis takes that as a good sign.,  The fact that Nicole is getting this much coverage is also a good sign for her campaign and the fact that she is right on so many issues.

Today is Primary Day, check your local Board of Elections to find out if you are eligible to vote.  If you are not registered in any political party, you can vote in a Reform Party primary if there is one in your district.  In NYC, you can vote for Nicole Mallitokas in the Reform Party Primary if you are not enrolled in a political party.

Weekly Wrap-Up

Is Chuck Schumer now the most powerful man in America? That would be bad news for America, which is why many conservatives are deeply troubled by this week’s budget deal between President Trump, Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.

But do House Republicans have any room to criticize, when the only thing they seem capable of doing is spending money?

For the first question in our new Weekly Poll, I want to know how concerned you are over the Trump/Schumer/Pelosi deal. I look forward to seeing the response on this one.

Our second Weekly Poll question deals with the upcoming statewide vote on the proposed Constitutional Convention. In his New York Post column, George Marlin outlines key reasons why the Conservative Party and other groups oppose the Constitutional Convention. Which potential outcome of the Convention alarms you the MOST?

Speaking of the upcoming elections, conservative mayoral candidate Nicole Malliotakis is out with her first campaign ad, and it is literally a hard-hitting piece. You can watch it here.

This week President Trump kept a campaign promise by ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) implemented unilaterally by Barack Obama for illegal alien “dreamers” that are celebrated by the left. The issue now goes to Congress for a proper legislative solution.

While there may be no such thing as a “deserving” dreamer, many believe that President Trump was right to make Congress resolve this issue through its legislative powers, combined with the checks-and-balances outlined in the Constitution.

What do you think is the BEST reason for eliminating the DACA program? That’s the third and final question in our new Weekly Poll.

As all this is going on, President Trump is doing a great job of nominating lower-level judges and reshaping the federal judiciary. Now if liberals in the Senate would stop their gridlock and end their religious tests and anti-Catholic bigotry. Could you imagine if a Muslim judicial nominee was attacked this way by a Republican?

Finally – we’ve been discussing the problem of voter fraud in recent weeks, and this week saw new evidence from New Hampshire that fake voters can decide an election.  We’ll be keeping an eye on this.

Have a great weekend!

 

Have a great weekend.

Daily Update

Good news for those of us who value life!  NY High Court Rejects Constitutional Right to Assisted Suicide.  New York’s highest court rejected the argument Wednesday that mentally competent, terminally ill patients have a constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, upholding lower court rulings.  The NY Law Journal has more on this here, but you will have to register (free) to access the article.  US News and World Reports has a shorter article here.  

From the Daily Signal:  House Republicans Unhappy That Trump Siding With Democrats on Debt Ceiling.  The Conservative Action Project issued a memo yesterday calling for no debt limit increase without fiscal reforms which Chairman Long signed onto.  It is imperative that Congress adopts fiscal reforms as noted in the memo: With Republicans in unified control of the government this time around, settling for minor reforms – or, worse, for a debt ceiling increase with no reforms – would be a squandered opportunity.  We cannot sustain, certainly not increase, the current 77 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).  Here is our current national debt.  

Is this our future?  How many migrants in Europe are Jihadists? Will American courts mandate that we take in migrants?  If we fail at what President Trump promised campaigning and since taking office, there is the possibility that Sen. Schumer and Nancy Pelosi will return as leaders in 2018 and stifle any hope of making America great again.  Sen. Schumer refuses to understand why President Trump halted DACA for six months despite what he said in 2009.  Watch the video; what happened to the man speaking in it? (Politics and the lust to be the majority leader by pandering to those who have taken over the democratic party?)  Here is more on the biometric based federal employment verification system mentioned by Sen. Schumer.  Here is the Washington Times view of waking up from an impossible dream.  

Ben Shapiro’s op-ed in the NY Post lays out why the Republicans should get radical.  

Betsy McCaughey lets us know ObamaCare is making the middle class the new uninsured.  

Just when I thought she was reasonable, Sen. Feinstein does this:  Feinstein Attacks Catholic Judicial Nominee at Hearing.  I guess it only proved the old adage that even a clock is right twice a day.  

Why would anyone in New York City vote for Mayor de Bolshevik?   He despises capitalist and finds new ways to take their money, while turning a blind-eye to the real problems in New York City.  

Hillary, stop writing, or should that be stop whining.  You lost, get over it.  We already know What Happened, you were a terrible candidate and you lost it all on your own!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Daily Update

Progressive leftist have little or no respect for the rule of law, for example, Mayor de Blasio insists that NYC will continue to support people who rely on DACA even as Trump axes the program while Cuomo and Schneiderman vow New York will sue Trump over move to end DACA.  Even President Obama dumped on Trump despite knowing full well that his DACA Executive Order overstepped his presidential role…Congress makes laws, presidents sign or veto them.

Some honest liberals understand the rule of law.  Will Sen. Feinstein face backlash for speaking the truth that DACA is on shaky legal ground

Rich Lowry writes in today’s NY Post that Trump just took a giant step toward truly legalizing the Dreamers.  Investor’s Business Daily writes how President Trump upholds the Constitution by dumping DACA, and critics freak out.  National Review has an article by Fred Bauer that deals with the politics of the DACA fix.   We have all learned this week that Americans are a very generous and understanding society, yet, we also understand that we are a society that relies on the rule of law…and it is long past the time that progressive leftist learn that as a society who have created the greatest nation the rule of law prevails.  

How ironic:  Planned Parenthood president says “we firmly believe that every person has the right to live, work, and raise a family freely and without the threat of deportation or separation,” (Except, of course, the those whose lives are ripped from their mother’s womb.)

Michele Malkin puts DACA into perspective with her article on there is no such thing as a ‘Deserving DREAMer‘.  

Mayor de Blasio, the more you try to explain what you meant, the more people know how disingenuous you sound.  Even your fellow democrat, Michael Goodwin, is calling on democrats to vote for anyone but you.  We urge voters to cast their vote for Nicole Malliotakis, a clear alternative to the self-absorbed, egocentric occupant of Gracie Mansion.  

Governor Cuomo’s summer of hell is bringing him an autumn of frost.  

The last time taxpayers had to pay for a Constitutional Convention, it was turned down by a 3-1 vote; a colossal boondoggle.    Unfortunately, some think it is a good idea; but as they learn more about it, the support falls off.  

Here is a great book if you want to know about the rise of conservatism from the inside, and then some, in a political memoir for all seasons,   Whiplash! From JFK to Donald Trump: A Political Odyssey  is written by  Arnold L. Steinberg and anyone with just a passing interest in politics will enjoy this book.  

Wednesday’s with Walter E. Williams.
