Brooklyn. NY – “Roe v. Wade was a constitutionally flawed decision that never should have been issued. Scholars have known that for decades. Today’s Supreme Court ruling simply returns abortion laws to state’s, which always should have maintained purview over this issue.

“Today’s decision is a great victory for those who value unborn life. It’s been 50 years in the making, and the New York State Conservative Party could not be more pleased.”

Just how much would the federal gas tax holiday actually save you?

President Biden’s Nobel Peace Prize?

The Conservative Party has for years been disappointed in some of the SOTUS decision that were based more on judicial activism than on what the US Constitution actually stated.  This week, we are pleased that the two decisions released were actually based on our US Constitution.  We have noted many times that elections have consequences, some right and some not so right, however the election of Donald J. Trump in 2016 was good for this still young nation, in that his appointments of Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court seem to be returning SCOTUS to interpreting the US Constitution to what was written, not what progressive justices want it to be.

The Supreme Court Stands Up For the Right to Self-Defense.

Biden ‘deeply disappointed’ with Supreme Court gun ruling: ‘Lives are on the line’.  I wonder if he ever considers how many lives have been saved by responsible people with their own guns protecting innocent people from out-of-control madmen or their own lives?

Another 6-3 decision handed down today:  Supreme Court rules out suing police for Miranda violations.  Of course, the same Justices voted it down as they did in the other decisions of this week, Justice’s Breyer, Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

On Eve of Roe v. Wade Reversal, Poll Shows Americans Want to Protect Unborn.

Joe Biden lowering gas prices is as likely as a purple cow on the moon.

Gas prices have gone up about $3.00 per gallon since Joe Biden became president, so, how does saving $0.18 per gallon help?  The answer is:  it doesn’t really help much.  Let’s look at the math:  an average small car holds about 12 gallons, to fill it when the average price is $5.01 (today’s date 06/23/22) I will cost $60.12 if Biden gets his “gas tax holiday” of 18 cents off, it will cost you $57.96 a savings of $2.16.  A gallon of milk costs, on average, $3.31; one is $1.15 short for a gallon of milk.   Not a lot of savings for the consumer, but would be a huge loss to the federal government’s Highway Trust Fund, the major source of federal funding for highways, roads and bridges, leaving a gap in funding.  What will happen then?  Print more money?  Diesel gas creates the same problems in addition to driving up the cost of delivering the goods needed in stores.  The plan doesn’t seem to have the support it needs:  Gas tax holiday likely to land on empty amid Democratic opposition.

Brooklyn, NY – “Today’s Supreme Court decision is a step in the right direction for millions of Americans who’ve been arbitrarily denied their Constitutional right to self-protection for decades. This ruling will give law-abiding New Yorkers the option of protecting themselves with a firearm in a state with significant crime issues. Violent criminals have never hesitated to carry guns illegally obtained. Maybe they’ll think twice now before committing additional crimes.”

Brooklyn, NY – “Government religious discrimination, which for decades has denied school funding to students attending parochial, yeshivas, and other non-public schools, is just that — government sanctioned religious discrimination. Today’s long overdue 6-3 Supreme Court decision finally makes right an egregious wrong that has prevented countless lower-income students from getting the education they need to compete in the 21st Century. That will now thankfully change. The Conservative Party loudly applauds today’s decision.”

In a 6-3 (Justices Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor) ruling, SCOTUS scores for students.

Republican could pull off victory in New York governor’s race, says NY Post columnist.

Supreme Court rules Maine tuition program violates First Amendment for excluding religious schools. Maybe, just maybe, New York will pass legislation for an Education Tax Credit now.  Oh, I forgot, the Teacher’s Union is opposed to it and the Democrats controlling the NYS Legislature will not pass it.

Knee-Jerk reactions, those not given much thought, never solve the obvious intent:  NY’s new restriction on body vests touted by Hochul hardly bullet-proof, sometimes it even has an unwelcome effect by restricting items that can save lives.

Chairman Kassar’s weekly wrap up discusses the GOP gubernatorial debate, big night for conservatives and Feds raising the interest rate. 

GOP Gubernatorial Debate

The four GOP candidates for Governor faced off in a televised debate earlier this week in which

there was a clear winner – our endorsed candidate Lee Zeldin. The other candidates on stage used their time to attack the front runner looking for their moment to shine, which Lee never gave.

With Primary Day less than two weeks away, and early voting beginning this weekend (June 18,) most credible polls show Zeldin with a solid lead but nothing can be taken for granted. If you are a Republican make a plan to vote. If you are a Conservative Party member speak with your Republican friends. Lee Zeldin provides us with the best opportunity to win in November. We cannot afford to gift Governor Hochul with an opponent who is not ready for primetime.

If you would like a Zeldin lawn sign, feel free to contact the Conservative Party at 718-921-2158 or the Zeldin campaign.

Big Night for Conservatives

The many solid conservative GOP candidates who won their primaries for Congress this past

week continues to set the stage for a successful midterm in which the Republicans appear ready to take what could be a significant majority in the United States House of Representatives.

In a political earthquake, Mayra Flores won the special election in Texas’s 34th Congressional District, a district Joe Biden won by 13% less than 2 years ago. This is a significant win as a Republican hasn’t represented this section of the Rio Grande Valley in over 100 years.

Right here in New York we have two upcoming Special Elections that are both rated “Lean Republican” one seat most recently represented by a Democrat. This is further indication that the climate that Democrats are heading into November is not friendly. This should come as no surprise as inflation is crippling middle class families all over the country as they struggle to buy groceries, gas, and pay bills.

Feds Raise Interest Rates

 Imagine your car is racing down a hill when you apply the break and nothing happens. Your next move is to hit the emergency break, but you only begin to slowdown. At that point you need to depend on your skills of navigating to safely reach the bottom.

Think of America, the Biden Administration and the Federal Reserve. Inflation is actually picking

up steam and traditional methods of slowing it down have been mostly ineffective. Additionally, rate increases resulting in tighter money often have their own built-in downside. For some time, it has been apparent that a variety of failed Biden policies ranging from supply chain inadequacies to energy policies, foreign trade and even war spending have had a major negative impact on inflation.

The Federal Reserve will not solve the problem of inflation. The Biden Administration must and they are failing miserably.

There are two articles in today’s daily update that show the evil hatred that is permeating our country: ‘Irreplaceable’ $2 million tabernacle stolen from Catholic church in Brooklyn, police say and ‘Open Season’: Pro-Abortion Terrorist Group Vows to Ramp Up Violence against Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers. Anyone or group that would desecrate a tabernacle, decapitate the statutes of Angeles and throw the Holy Eucharist housed inside the tabernacle all over the altar is lacking a moral compass and is more interested in destroying God than stealing a valuable object.  The pro-abortion terrorist group, Jane’s Revenge, is also more interested in destroying a sanctuary of hope that helps in preventing the taking of innocent unborn children than keeping abortion available for themselves.  Just two stark examples of the unadulterated evil that people who respect life, at every level, are enduring along with the killing of police, innocent school children and people just buying food for their families.

It is good to know that New York’s Court of Appeals ruled 5-2 that Happy, the elephant who has lived in the Bronx Zoo for the last 45 years, is not a person.  My question is why was it a 5-2 decision?  Two judges, Rowan Wilson and Jenny Rivera, wrote separate, sharply worded dissents saying the fact that Happy is an animal does not prevent her from having legal rights. Rivera wrote that Happy is being held in “an environment that is unnatural to her and that does not allow her to live her life.”  Happy the elephant seems pretty content at the Bronx Zoo where food is plentiful and has lots of room to roam.

Chairman Kassar’s weekly wrap up discusses the January 6 Select Committee’s first public hearing, soaring inflation, Boudin’s recall and our upcoming Summer Reception.

The Made for TV January 6 Select Committee’s First Public Hearing

The Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol aired its first public hearing on June 9, 2022. The Select Committee hired James Goldston (the former president of ABC News) to produce the six planned TV hearings and make them compelling to watch.  If last night’s broadcast was any indication, the Select Committee, comprised of nine members (7 Democrats, Rep. Bennie Thompson, MS, Chairman, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, CA, Rep. Elaine Luria, VA, Rep. Adam Schiff, CA, Rep. Pete Aguilar, CA, Rep. Stephanie Murphy, FL and Rep. Jamie Raskin, MD and 2 Republicans, Rep. Liz Cheney, WY, Co-Chair and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, IL.) will not change anyone’s mind about the events of January 6, 2021.  While the Select Committee is theoretically bi-partisan, every member has an agenda and is pushing their agenda rather than actually investigating every aspect and every questionable action by those who could/should have had enough security prior to Donald J. Trump’s remarks at Washington’s Ellipse where the former president spoke.  The Select Committee did not tantalize viewers to watch the rest of the hearing with new information or a smoking gun. And it is also important to remember that every agency in charge of the security at the Capitol could have prevented the fateful event, but we doubt that will be included in the final findings of the Select Committee.

Inflation Hits Another Record High.

To no one’s surprise, inflation soared 8.6%, the worst since December, 1981.  We did not need the latest CPI report to tell us.  Every trip to buy groceries or purchase gas hurts the consumer and effects every other aspect of our everyday lives.  There are even areas in the United States where police departments have used their allotted budget for gas and are unable to respond to emergencies.

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo admitted Tuesday that the Biden administration is running out of options as it scrambles to bring down gas prices that have surged to record highs across the nation in recent weeks.  Supposedly President Biden is looking for anything possible to combat the costs; how about resuming the policies that gave us affordable gasoline and made us energy independent?  The Biden Administration is giving Americans “lip-service” about the cost of gasoline as this was his plan from his first day in office when he shut down the Keystone XL pipeline.

Good News from San Francisco

Voters from every political spectrum spoke loud and clear on Tuesday when they voted to recall DA Chesa Boudin – the son of Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, members of the Weather Underground and convicted murderers of Sgt. Edward Grady, Officer Waverly “Chipper” Brown, and Brinks guard Peter Paige, during the infamous Brinks Armored Robbery on October 20. 1981 in Nyack, NY.  Chesa was raised by leftist radicals, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohm, here in Hyde Park, New York.  Thankfully, the voters in San Francisco recalled him and his biased beliefs that he incorporated as the District Attorney.  It was actually comical that he blamed ‘right-wing billionaires and police officers’ for his loss when his election was supported by George Soros who is dedicated to electing leftist district attorneys.
