National Review’s Op-Ed is excellent:  Biden’s Student-Debt Decree Wrong on Every Level.  “To the extent it is possible, the order must be challenged in court and hindered by every legal means available. Republicans have rightly blasted the move, with Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell calling it a “slap in the face to working Americans.” They should devote the time from now to Election Day exposing this grotesque giveaway to voters and reasserting reality: The U.S. president is not an omnipotent genie placed behind the Resolute desk to grant partisan wishes by the stroke of his pen.”

The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) wrote this in February, 2019:  How Government-Guaranteed Student Loans Killed the American Dream for Millions.  “When government-guaranteed checks keep rolling in, there’s no incentive for colleges and universities to lower their prices. In fact, they do the opposite.”  Government created the mess, and as usual, now they want you to pay for their promising you (or should I say buying your votes with your money) they will take care of you from cradle to grave.

‘You’re not New Yorkers’: Hochul says political rivals like Zeldin ought to move to Florida.  ““We are fighting for democracy. We’re fighting to bring government back to the people and out of the hands of dictators,” Hochul said at a Monday evening rally in Kingston alongside Democratic congressional candidate Pat Ryan, where she called out his Republican opponent, Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro, Zeldin and former President Donald Trump.”

Looking at the photos in the NY Post article, I do not see a teleprompter, which leads me to believe that New York’s Governor is speaking from her deeply held beliefs that she is “fighting to bring government back to the people and out of the hands of dictators…” and then went on to say “Trump and Zeldin and Molinaro – just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong. OK? Get out of town. Because you don’t represent our values,” added Hochul, who raised eyebrows last week for a dig against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at a Manhattan event commemorating the Holocaust. (As written in that article, Gov. Hochul quickly noted “Getting in trouble – gotta stay on script…”.)

It is interesting how you say that the three gentlemen you singled out to “jump on a bus and head down to Florida,” “don’t represent your values.”

Which values are you referring to, Governor? The ones you used when you chose Brian Benjamin as your Lt. Governor? Perhaps you are referring to the amount of money taxpayers will have to pay for the Buffalo Stadium that potentially could benefit your husband.  Of course, your values include using state aircraft as your personal taxi, refusing to fire DA Bragg, lets not forget that you also refuse to protect merchants, customers, and innocent people by not having a meaningful discussion of the criminal justice reforms that has caused untold hardship on New Yorkers just trying to make a living in New York State.  Your values also include using Executive Orders to prevent New York returning to a sense of normality as COVID lessens it grip on New York. Governor Hochul, your values also include signing a legislative package to “strengthen” the state’s gun laws, which are already among the most restrictive gun laws possible, to further limit our 2^nd Amendment rights.

It is interesting to know that you want to take New York’s government out of the hands of dictators; while all you have done with your words is show what a dictator you are. If New Yorkers do not agree with what you want, if they want to protect innocent lives, especially unborn innocent lives, if they do not want their hard earned money used to build a sports stadium they will never use, if they complain when you use state aircraft as your personal taxi, if they demand an honest discussion on the failed criminal justice reforms, if they are fed up with Executive Orders interfering in their daily lives and understand that placing more restrictions on our 2^nd Amendment only creates a market for more illegal guns on the streets, they are the dictators, Governor?

Look in a mirror, Governor, you are the dictator, and we will end your reign.

Save our State. Get Involved. Vote for Lee Zeldin and Alison Esposito.

Another gem from Bill Hammond writing for the Empire Center as he examines Washington’s newly enacted climate, health and tax package that harbors an only-in-New York glitch: New federal health funding is headed for Essential Plan limbo in New York

Hypocrite! Gov. Hochul blasts district attorneys who ‘undercharge’ perps after NYC sucker-punch. The hypocritical governor must be feeling the heat due to her lack of judgement regarding the criminal justice reforms she has staunchly upheld since taking office a year ago. Her lack of concern for the people of New York cannot be ignored with one presser blasting DA’s; Governor Hochul could have set an example but chose not to by listening to her progressive allies in the legislature.

Sarah Arnold points out in her column on Townhall.com: Woke New York Gov. Signs Bill to Scrap ‘Gendered Language’ that in Democrat-controlled New York, passing a law to better suit liberals who get offended by a word is more important than spending the time to fix the city’s crime problem.

One arrest doesn’t end the ‘open season’ on law-abiding New Yorkers thanks to your laws, Gov. Hochul.

This is a must circulate NY Post editorial to those who are still on the fence as to whom they will vote for on November 8, 2022. Gov. Hochul’s endless weaseling is killing the Empire State. If you are fed up with the failed policies that are the legacy of the democratic party get involved and Save our State.

(Hopefully, it is not behind a pay wall.) A piece of advice for voters: don’t rely only on ads to make your choice; it would be in ones’ best interest to question all ads running about all candidates; contact the campaign and the candidate to know whom you are voting for. Attend/watch debates. Stop by their campaign office.  Read the local papers, talk to your neighbors. Get involved in the race, after all the candidate is elected by you to represent what you would do if you were elected.

Anniversary of the Afghanistan Withdrawal

A year later the United States remains under the very dark cloud of the Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. The loss of American lives was senseless, and to this day, continues to churn my stomach. To add insult to injury, billions in military equipment was left behind and is still in the hand of the Taliban.

It has been discussed, and is fair to speculate, that Russia felt empowered to invade the Ukraine as a result of the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and reaction to the weak decision making that came from the

Biden administration.

America prospers when we are at peace through strength, and we have showed no interest in being strong with those most willing to wish harm to our country. As a strong America goes, the world goes.

We must never have a repeat of Afghanistan.

National Affairs Conference

CDC Director Walensky to reorganize agency after admitting Covid pandemic response fell short. A reorganization isn’t all it needs; it needs to have a variety of experts to discuss all the possible solutions and then speak as one; not as individuals who listen to whom they are beholden to.  For example, why did Randi Weingarten dictate the protocol for students? What was the basis of her expertise in public health? By the way, Ms. Weingarten only taught for 6 years in the early 1990’s and full time for only half that amount.  Since then, Ms. Weingarten has been a teacher’s union executive earning $426,000 in 2020-2021.

From the Washington Times editorial page: Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act diminishes prospects for human progress.  “Hope is contagious, optimists are fond of reminding. So is doubt, unfortunately. The Democratic Party’s so-called Inflation Reduction Act, supposedly packed with smart policy remedies for an ailing nation, is the work of doubters bent on extinguishing the material progress that has made America exceptional. It serves the aims of the “degrowth” movement, which is to reduce the imprint of human progress upon the globe.”

White House not saying when the Inflation Reduction Act will begin to cut inflation.

To say this is outrageous is an understatement:  Biden’s new Title IX rules deputize teachers to override parents on gender identity.  “Biden’s proposal is an invasive use of federal power to deputize teachers and school administrators to override parental decision-making. And while some states have passed laws to protect parental prerogatives, the administration will claim that its federal rules take precedence.”

MAR A LARGO RAID

So far, the Justice Department and FBI have failed to explain why they needed to break 200 plus years of precedence by raiding a former President’s home for purposes of locating documents that were part of ongoing discussions.

Most Americans, including myself, looked at this action as an overreach of federal authority on a potential political opponent, much like you’d see in a third world country. It is also abundantly clear a double standard exists when it comes to the Justice Departments action with individuals like Hunter Biden being shielded from investigations.

Please read my full statement here.

Texas Sends Migrants to New York

 I had hope for Mayor Adams. That hope is fading as he trips over his own polices and then moves to blame others. He wanted a sanctuary city, and he got one. Now when Texas and other southern border states look to send some asylum seekers to places like New York, he suddenly wants to have nothing to do with them.

Make no mistake about it, I am not at all encouraging New York to welcome buses of illegal immigrants looking to use poorly constructed federal laws to allow most anyone crossing the border that turns themselves into authorities to claim some form of asylum.

Adams should be focusing on Biden border policies and the issue of unchecked immigration over our southern borders. Even better, he should give Vice President Harris a call and suggest that they board one of those NYC bound buses and take it back to Texas to see the border for themselves.

Hochul Doubles Down

 I will not discuss changing the bail laws until a new legislature is seated in January, Governor Hochul recently declared. I have two comments on her line in the sand:

1.) we would all be better off having Lee Zeldin in office January 1st so that we really will have a repeal of the supposed criminal justice reform that makes it difficult to keep most criminals in jails

2.) having more Republican/Conservative Senators and Assembly-Members would complement Lee’s efforts as our Governor very nicely.

Hochul is just awful. She wants to keep the extreme left of her party in line and does not care how out of touch that makes her with the majority of New York residents on law and order issues. She knows it is reaching a tipping point, causing her to punt to next year. Let’s make sure Hochul does not have a next year in government.

Early Voting and Primary Day

 Early voting begins tomorrow Saturday, August 13 and runs through Sunday, August 21. It is imperative we get our family and friends out to vote for Conservative Party endorsed candidates all over the state.

We are asking Republicans to vote for Nick LaLota, Andrew Garbarino, Nicole Malliotakis, Brandon Williams, Claudia Tenney, and Nick Langworthy in their primaries!

Special Elections

 There are two Special Elections August 23 in New York’s 19^th and 23^RD Congressional Districts that are must wins for the State of New York.

Conservative Party members will play a pivotal role in electing Marc Molinaro in NY-19 and Joe Sempolinski in NY-23! Early voting begins TOMORROW August 13^th and runs through August 21^st.
