Are we back in the Sixties — Dems stage sit-in on House floor to push for gun vote.  Every person in America is outraged about the carnage in Orlando.  No one ever should have to be subjected to the depravity that took the lives of 49 people and the 53 who remain forever scared and scarred by the evil that took place in the Pulse.  The First responders must also live with the memories of those they could not save…and the utter abomination of death by someone who destroyed for the sake of destruction.  And our leaders stage a sit-in.  If a thousand gun-control laws were passed — nothing would change when one is a radical Islamic extremist.  If not a gun, then a pressure cooker — or any means possible to kill as many infidels as possible.  The call for more gun-control will not change a thing, except,  maybe make innocent American’s lives more difficult.

CAIR is celebrating their efforts to get out the vote and its large increase in voter registrations.

Shane Harris writes in The Daily Beast about The Lawyers Who Could Take Down Hillary Clinton’s Campaign. 

The NY Post editorial board thinks Hillary’s “economy” attack is hopeless.

Governor Cuomo’s democracy in action.

Can’t we do anything without government help?  Gov. Cuomo announced a new initiative to keep pedestrians safe across the state with a $110 million pedestrian safety plan.  People, this is YOUR tax dollars. You are going to work every day to put a roof over your head,  food on your table, clothing on you and your children, maybe some entertainment and taxes to the government so they can devise a pedestrian safety plan.  When did we stop teaching our children to not run into the street, cross at the corner and look both ways — and nowadays to put the phone down when walking.  Seriously, $110 million?

Michael Goodwin has another must read column. 

Wednesday’s with Walter E. Williams.

Live Free or Die — thank you New Hampshire!  On June 21, 1788 New Hampshire became the 9th State to ratify the US Constitution, thereby making it the law of the land as of March 4, 1789.

Why did the White House just humiliate Loretta Lynch?

Here is Charles Krauthammer’s take on why Obama allows — or should I say encourages — any links to Islam… as Charles says the larger issue is an administration that has no respect for historical record of actual events. 

However, the issue continues to percolate.  Katie Pavlich brings us up to date on the latest Judicial Department release of the 911 transcript, which are still not a complete release.

David Limbaugh opines that Big Brother Obama Suppresses Information to Promote Propaganda.

Dennis Prager opines on The Immaturity of Supporting Hillary Clinton as a Woman.

Single-stall bathrooms in NYC will be gender-neutral in 2017...how long before all bathrooms are gender-neutral.

Wasting $100 million a year and Mayor deBlasio doesn’t care.

Today’s NY Post editorial states that Trump starts to get his swing back.  It is extremely important that he does because if Hillary becomes president, Hillary would control the US Supreme Court until 2050!

Tuesday’s with Thomas Sowell:  The Gun Control Farce.

The Obama Administration is totally out of control!  They have NO LEGAL RIGHT to change a transcript…what are they thinking...changing a Fox News Q&A transcript on the Iran Deal…and these are just two that we know of…how many other changes and or edits are out there?   More on the Orland transcript omissions are in this article.

BREAKING:  President Obama caves to pressure…releases full transcript. 

Is Governor Cuomo taking lessons from President Obama?

Saturday’s NY Post featured an op-ed piece by Paul Sperry:  Why the ‘lone-wolf’ terrorist is a myth,   Sunday’s NY Post Editorial explained how Obama’s blackout on radical Islam leads to dots going unconnected. 

How can we protect America when our students learn a sanitized history of what made us unique and great.

The terrorism blame game.

The Daily Signal has 7 ways to prevent another Orlando attack here.

SCOTUS rejects a chance to end the gun control debate.

E. J. McMahon delves deeper into NY’s pension problems.

Will Marco Rubio change his mind about the US Senate seat he is about to give up?

Here is some good news about our future generation.

Orlando has dominated the news this week, and it has been a stark reminder of the dangerous denial about radical Islam from President Obama and the Left. 

Obama has turned Sunday’s jihadist terror attack into a personal gun war. 

If only he were so diligent about actually fighting terrorism. America has suffered a terror attack every year under President Obama’s reign – many of them preventable. Even members of his own administration admit that his policies are failing. 

According to Democrats due process is no longer a constitutional right, but a “red herring” that is “killing us.”  (Keep in mind, Sen. Joe Manchin, who is leading the anti-due process brigade, describes himself as a “moderate” Democrat.)

As liberals leap at the opportunity to restrict our freedom, more people are starting to realize that Donald Trump’s warnings on immigration and terrorism make sense.  (And like many Americans, Trump is gravely concerned that more terror attacks are on the way.)

Though there have been occasional hints of responsible coverage, overall the media’s handling of the Orlando attacks has been biased and even lawless.

Orlando and its aftermath are the focus of our new Weekly Poll questions: Why do you think President Obama is so eager to change the subject to gun control?  What worries you the most about the Democrats’ plan to use terrorist watch lists to restrict Americans’ Second Amendment rights? And are you concerned that more terrorist attacks are on the way? 

I look forward to seeing how people respond to these questions, and encourage you to vote now. 

There has been other news this week – Obamacare continues to be a costly disaster, and job growth in New York under Andrew Cuomo continues to stagnate. 

Have a great weekend!

The Obama Administration is ruling by fiat again!  Everyone agrees that a known terrorist should not be allowed to purchase a gun…any gun.  The problem is who decides who is on the “no fly list”.  No one really knows who does the list and once on it…it is almost impossible to get your name cleared.  What we do know is that there are some in government out to harm those who dare to disagree with them and that should give all of us a reason to be cautious of a “no fly list” with little recourse to clear your name.

Sen. Ted Cruz reminds us of the 76 Abuses of Power and Lawless Actions by The Obama Administration and these are only through January of 2015.  We can also add The FCC ruling just upheld by a federal appeals court. 

Some elected official in our government are determined to undermine conservatives. 

John Lott’s article — Why terrorists target gun-free zones — should be read by all those who think gun control laws are the answer. 

Orlando shooter posted messages on Facebook pledging allegiance to the leader of ISIS and vowing more attacks…would any laws have stopped this crazed person?

Do we really want women to register for the draft?  I for one do not!

Is Speaker Heasti playing with us?

Bill Hammond writes in The Torch that Albany’s cancer bill misses the mark.

It has been a rough week news wise, so a little bit of humor is needed. 

The Obama Administration again renews its call for more gun control — they are so misguided on this issue. 

Michael Goodwin writes in his column — Obama’s tantrum a striking display of failed leadership —  He laid waste to a field of straw men, cable-TV pundits and the always-evil “partisan rhetoric,” by which he means anyone who disagrees with him. It was a striking display of personal anger and pent-up grievances — and a total failure of leadership during a national crisis.

Former Senator Jim DeMint has it right when he says our enemy is political islam, not each other.

Todd Starnes is right when he writes that the enemy is radical Islam, not the National Rifle Association.

Red State writes:  No, the Founding Fathers Would Not Have Objected To Assault Weapon Ownership Or Any Weapon At All

And lest anyone tries to argue that Australia’s gun confiscation worked in reducing mass shootings, read this.  Not convinced yet, read this. 

The Democrats in the Senate continue to ignore facts and demand more gun control.  They obviously do not understand just how brilliant our Founding Fathers were — granting an ordinary citizen the right to bear arms in order to preserve the freedoms granted after freeing themselves from the tyranny they had endured. 

Ralph Peters has a few suggestions — other than gun control — on how to defeat the Islamist fanatics.

More bad news regarding Common Core:  It doesn’t prepare students for college. 

Mayor de Blasio beware; Rev. Michel Falukner wants your job.

Wednesday’s with Walter E. Williams

It pays to have Council Speaker Mark-Viverito as a friend if you are doing business in New York City.

Nicole Gelinas has an eye-opening column in today’s New York Post.  Citizens of New York City, read Ms. Gelinas’ column and then contact your Councilman and demand that your tax dollars no longer fund the special union fund. 

More bad news about New York’s economy.  E. J. McMahon explains New York was one of only 10 states to register no growth or even a decline in real (inflation-adjusted) GDP in the last three months of the year, during which the U.S. as a whole registered growth of 1.7 percent, the federal Bureau of Economic Affairs (BERA) estimated.

Comptroller Tom DiNapoli had more bad news for New Yorkers:  The state pension fund barely broke even.  The fund gained only 0.19% —  far short of the fund’s target of a 7 percent annual rate of return.  This will likely cause the contribution rates of state government and hundreds of localities to rise in coming years.

Fred Dicker is reporting in his weekly column that investors are pulling out of the Buffalo Billion project amid corruption probe. 

The Watertown Daily Times isn’t too enthused with Start Up NY…another boondoggle created by Governor Cuomo to give false hope that jobs would be created.

We also have a president that makes hiring harder.

And who has failed to protect us from terror, an excellent column by Rich Lowry.

Officials are not allowed to say “jihad” or “sharia” according to a report issued by Homeland Security Advisory Council just days before the Orlando killing rampage by Mateen.

What the main stream media is spinning about the murderous rampage committed by Mateen.

The day after horror in Orlando, only Trump has any answers.

Notable commentary on the Orlando terror attack — from the NY Post’s new “Fast Takes” feature.

Tuesday’s with Thomas Sowell:  Will Orlando Change Anything?

The Daily Signal says it all:  Obama’s Shameful Pivot to Gun Control After Orlando.  Ambassador John Bolton reacts to the tragedy.  Part of what he said is this, “We will, in the coming days, doubtless hear that the terrorist was a lone wolf, that he did not belong to any known terrorist organization, that there are no wider threats.  In particular, those who are blind to the terrorist threat will downplay even the incontrovertible fact that Mateen pledged loyalty to ISIS as he committed his murders.”  Here is what President Obama said today, “…it appears the Orlando nightclub shooter was inspired by extremist information disseminated over the internet,” after his FBI Chief Comey said this, “… it appears Mateen was a self-radicalized lone wolf with no apparent help from overseas forces.”  I have one question to President Obama and FBI Chief Comey:  Please explain to me the coincidence of James Wesley Howell’s arrest. 

After Orlando, can we finally take the gloves off?

John Podhortez had a swift reaction to the President’s words yesterday. 

Hillary wasn’t very different than Obama in her reaction. Hey Hillary if you truly believe “This is a time to stand together and resolve to do everything we can to defend our communities and country,” when are you going to acknowledge that America is under attack by Islamic terrorists?

Hillary must have been reading America’s reaction to the Orland tragedy, as she has broken with Obama and dared to say “radical Islamism” was fueled the massacre. This just proves that Hillary will say … or use any words … that will help get her elected.  That is what happens when you do not have a moral compass. 

  France has very strict gun control and that didn’t prevent an attack on Paris, did it Madam Secretary.  Forget the role of Secretary of State — diplomacy — and try standing as a Commander-in-Chief…if you know how.  So far you haven’t shown any American that you can accept the mantle of Commander-in-Chief…your husband couldn’t either.

Hillary and Bill certainly do know how to shake down groups for big pay checks. In case you missed Saturday’s NY Post editorial on Hillary’s selling the State Department, here it is.

Here is what Chairman Long said about fantasy sports in New York State last week.

Wendy Long and Laura Ingram refute character attacks on Donald J. Trump. 

Barack Obama says that Hillary is more qualified to be President than he is. Talk about lowering the bar!

And the media is demanding that we all celebrate Hillary’s capture of the Democratic nomination. Let the identity politics begin…

Journalists are certainly debasing themselves giving “aid and comfort” to the Clinton campaign – and Google seems to be in her pocket as well (joining Facebook there, of course).

This leads me to our new Weekly Poll questions: Compared to Barack Obama, do you believe Hillary is more qualified to be President, less qualified, or equally qualified? How do you think liberal “journalists” will show their bias the MOST as Election Day nears? Do you believe reports that internet titans Facebook and Google are skewing the news in favor of Hillary? 

I look forward to seeing how everyone responds this week. 

Another week, another scandal for Hillary: how exactly did her big donor get appointed to an Intelligence Board for which he was completely unqualified?  (The key words here, of course, are “big donor.”)

And remember when exposing CIA agents was considered a crime against all humanity by the Washington press corps? But they’re fine with the possibility that Hillary did just that.

Meanwhile the White House assures us that President Obama’s endorsement of Hillary while she’s under investigation won’t influence the FBI at all.

Thanks to the “Obamaphone” program, we have 500 million more reasons why Obama is a terrible President – and thanks to Iran, we have 1.7 billion more.  

And stories like this show how Trump is a much-needed voice for the victims of “social justice warriors.” 

Have a great weekend!

Unfortunately, it is beginning to look like Preet Bharara will never run out of corruption probes.  He continues to do an exceptional job in protecting citizens from corrupt leaders; it is, however, time for citizens to make certain that those we designate to lead are trustworthy. 

Corruption is not limited to elected officials, this video shows corruption in our education system and regrettably will leave a lasting impression on our youth. If anyone thinks the students do not know what is going on — we have a bridge to sell you.

JCOPE was hailed by Governor Cuomo, “This new ethics reform law brings an aggressive new approach to returning integrity to the halls of our Capitol…”  and now we learn that JCOPE’s policies allowed Joe Perocco to avoid disclosures.  Obviously,  the fox cannot guard the hen house.   The solution hypocrite Andrew Cuomo is promoting now is not the answer to the corruption wave…after benefiting from super PAC’s,  he now thinks the US Supreme Court decision is corrupting the system.  What is corrupting the system is an overall lack of moral values in some individuals.  And voter’s turning a blind eye.

More workers are losing their jobs due to the increase in the minimum wage increase.

Job creation is the number one concern of Americans…who better to put in charge than a man who has actually created jobs. 

Thursday’s with GipperTen.com — time for a break in a very serious world.

Chairman Long in an interview on Wednesday said he is opposed to the current daily fantasy sports proposal, saying the measure is an expansion of gambling in the state.  Read more here.

It’s official:  Hillary has the delegates to become the first woman to run for president on a major party line.  I’ll paraphrase Hillary’s quote at the Benghazi Hearings, “What difference does it make?”  We are not talking about a woman with the principles of Margaret Thatcher.  They are hailing a woman who didn’t answer the 3:00 AM call to save Americans — saying how wonderful it is that history has been made.  Hillary Clinton is the presumptive nominee of a political party that has systematically and deliberately try to change the core values that made America the greatest nation in the world and tries to make government the answer to all of life’s problems.  She is part of America’s current Oligarchy…soon to be dismantled.  The press may be hailing Hillary, but America’s citizens know that this woman who exploited the goodness of America in every way possible to become the nominee is about to learn the difference it made was the presidency. 

Why is it that the press is not covering this?

The Obama Administration listens to unions and ignores reality when it comes to wages.  Hillary will continue keeping wages down. 

Former Lt. Governor, Betsy McCaughey, writes in the NY Post that if you want economic growth, pick the candidate who’s actually created jobs. 

Michael Goodwin has some fair observations in today’s column, Trump is doing a great job if he’s trying to lose. 

Oh my, Mayor de Blasio faces more questions. 

Wednesday’s with Walter E. Williams.

Chairman Mike Long sat down with The G Man and talked about the upcoming presidential race.  Listen or watch the interview here. 

Mayor de Blasio continues to increase spending on infrastructure despite criticism.  Infrastructure is essential and Mayor de Blasio, as noted in previous article, has few qualms about the increased spending.  Wouldn’t our limited tax dollars be better spent on necessary and essential items, rather than advertisements like this.
