“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

Statement from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar
Brooklyn, NY – “The Democratic Party got caught today being undemocratic. Its attempt to rig elections and to shut down political dissent in New York through outrageous gerrymandering was fortunately thwarted in New York State Supreme Court.
“Just a glance at these lines revealed them as ridiculously tainted. Now the Democrats must go back to the drawing board and have new lines ready in less than two weeks. We applaud the court’s decision, and urge them to keep an eye on every pencil line the Democrats draw over the next 11 days. They are not to be trusted.”
Under Gov. Hochul’s “less is more” 8,000 people on parole to be released by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision by the end of this month.
As a New York taxpayer, do you think this $840M bill we have just been handed is a good use of our hard-earned tax dollars? I can’t help but wonder how many police, fire, first-responders could be hired, or a reasonable increase to those who care for our disabled and elderly this $840M could help? (And how much prevailing wages added to the total sum.) Buffalo Bills secure deal for $1.4B stadium thanks to record $850M from taxpayers

Statement from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on Federal Investigation of Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin
Brooklyn, NY – “The Conservative Party and the GOP are running a candidate for Lt. Governor who until just a few weeks ago was making arrests. Governor Hochul’s Lt. Governor, Brian Benjamin, may soon be under arrest for illegal grants. Need we say more?
“The Conservative Party calls on Mrs. Hochul and Mr. Benjamin to explain what this is all about. New Yorkers deserve to know.”
As you know nominating petitions move the party’s rhetoric into action by placing our endorsed candidates for Congress & the State Legislature on the ballot. They also are necessary to organize the Party’s State and County Committees which are the basic units upon which political parties function.
It is important that all registered Conservative Party members sign a party petition. In some cases, a party member would have been at your door or made other arrangements to obtain your signature. With 155,000 enrolled party members many will be missed, so we need your help.
If you (a registered conservative) have not yet signed a nominating petition, please contact your local Conservative Party leader. If you need assistance locating the proper contact, call our headquarters at (718)-921-2158 and we will put you in touch with a local party representative.
Your signature on a Conservative petition is vital to our functioning as a party and time is running out.
Broken Windows Theory of Policing Returns to NYC
There are many parts of Mayor Adams’s agenda that the Conservative Party does not support. Fortunately in one key area, public safety, the Conservative Party and most city residents agree with the Mayor’s efforts.
The anti-crime unit, albeit with a new name, are making an effective comeback taking guns and criminals off the streets. Currently at half strength, the NYPD expects 400 or so men and women to fill these highly trained specialized units.
In addition, the Mayor has announced a crackdown on quality of life crimes like turnstile jumpers and shoplifters. This is a return of “Broken Windows Theory of Law Enforcement.” At its heart it works to stop small time offenses before those perpetrating them move onto committing bigger crimes.
The broken windows theory had been proven to work in New York City until Bill
de Blasio did away with this policing tactic. We hope the return of common sense policing will restore some law and order and give peace of mind to residents and guests of the city.
Conservative Party Presents J. Daniel Mahoney Award
Our Legislative Reception held in Albany this past Monday was hugely successful with a large, enthusiastic crowd cheering our two honorees, as well as the campaigns ahead of us. I want to thank everyone who came out to support the party and those who continue to fight alongside us as we move into this very important election season.
One thing was crystal clear, the Conservative Party, our incumbents, and our new candidates are expecting that our winning ways from 2021 will continue into November.
Our award winners, Broome County Chairman Aaron Martin, and Suffolk County Chairman Mike Torres, were a gigantic part of our 2021 success. We were very pleased to honor them and look forward to working together to deliver more results this November.
You really have no choice about paying NYS taxes, you either pay them or be fined and if you continue to ignore paying them you could be charged with felony tax evasion. We are at the mercy of our elected officials on how our money is spent, which is why it is so very important to know the candidates you are voting for. This is just one example of what your money can/will be used for: Hochul seeks to pay $5 million in legal fees for ex-Cuomo staffers. Remember this when you vote in November.
China Closer to Dominating Southeast Asia. “China has fully militarized at least three of several islands it built in the disputed South China Sea, arming them with anti-ship and anti-aircraft missile systems, laser and jamming equipment, and fighter jets in an increasingly aggressive move that threatens all nations operating nearby… that buildup of weaponization is destabilizing to the region.” — US Admiral John C. Aquilino, Associated Press, March 21, 2022.
The First Amendment reads: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. It does not indicate that the press can censor news to fit its agenda. This needs to be investigated; Americans must demand the truth as to how it impacted voters.
Bail debate scrambles New York state budget talks. “… top lawmakers in the state Senate and Assembly remain publicly opposed to scaling the bail law back. Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins has said a “national Republican campaign of fear” has stoked opposition to the bail law over the last several years, unfairly and inaccurately linking the law to the rise in crime.”
“Sure, there are plenty of budget priorities heading into the final two weeks of negotiations in Albany. But are any of them more personal for Gov. Kathy Hochul than getting a deal for a new stadium for her beloved Buffalo Bills?” Another Buffalo Billion — this time, for the Bills?
Diversity Smokescreen/The notion that a demographically representative college class makes for better education is a pretext for the real proposition: that certain people deserve reparations.
Andrew C. McCarthy notes that Ketanji Brown Jackson is a progressive and progressive judges tend to be light sentencers in his column: Ho-Hum: The Cases Senator Hawley Cites Show Judge Jackson Is an Unremarkable Sentencer in Child-Porn Cases. His column is also a good reminder that our Commander-in-Chief’s second most long-lasting and essential role is the nomination of Supreme Court Justices. Elections have consequences.
Miranda Divine writes in today’s NY Post: White House ignores its Hunter problem. “The refusal of the Times and the rest of the media to cover this story amounted to election interference.”
There was exciting news on all fronts concerning Congressman Lee Zeldin’s bid for Governor. On the Republican primary front, Zeldin the unanimous choice of the Conservative Party, was distancing himself from his three GOP opponents. In fact, he is leading second place Andrew Giuliani and Rob Astorino 45 to 14, a full 31 points, with Harry Wilson a very distant third.
Polling indicates in the general election Lee was in a statistical tie with Hochul. This is by far the best showing for a GOP/Conservative candidate, at this point in time, since George Pataki was in office.
Frankly I am not surprised. For months the leadership of the party and myself have been vocal proponents of the Zeldin candidacy.
A conservative by nature, with a solid voting record on issues important to us, he has shown himself to be an awesome campaigner and an equally strong fundraiser. Often accompanied by his wife and twin daughters while crisscrossing the state, Lee emanates the warmth of a family man and the strength of a Lt. Colonel in the Army.
It seems as though we can always count on the academic elites to do something that causes you to shake your head and wonder what they are thinking. SUNY BROCKPORT is planning to highlight convicted cop killer Anthony Bottom at an upcoming “Diversity Conference.” Worse yet, until the statewide outcry from our party, the GOP, Senate GOP Leader Ortt, and countless other conservative oriented officials, Brockport was planning to use taxpayer dollars to pay Bottom for his appearance.
Paying him has been taken off the table. That is not nearly enough. Bottom’s invitation needs to be rescinded. Furthermore, SUNY Brockport should reach out to the families of slain police officers Waverly Jones and Joseph Piagentini to apologize for the unnecessary pain the school’s actions have caused. I suppose I will not hold my breath, but it is what they should do.
It seems that one of the few national items of which both the right and the left often agree is Vice President Harris’s poor handling of her office. Poor handling of her office seems to be her MO, but actually embarrassing the nation of which she is second in command is new territory even for Harris.
Her performance last week, at a press conference with the Polish President, in which she was clearly unprepared can only be described as embarrassing. And then her attempt at humor in which she laughed at her own comments only further deepened the problems that are occurring regularly for the United States on the world stage.
The New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms, has in the past held a Legislative Day in Albany, NY, but due to COVID restrictions have been able to do so. In this modern age of technology, the New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms adapted to being prevented from “walking the halls” to getting their message out in a new way and we are the beneficiaries. Click here to watch the New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms held their Legislative Day 2022: A Digital Day of Action.
At the very least, Governor Hochul is listening to the concerns of New Yorkers. We haven’t seen the proposals, nor are we confident that the democrats in the legislature, will adopt any portion of what must be done, since they were passed in both houses that are controlled by democrats and they since doing so have dug themselves in on “no changes,” but it is a beginning of a conversation that is truly needed. Let’s hope Gov. Hochul is doing this for all the right reasons and not just pandering to the people.
Christopher Rufo writes in City Journal about The War on Innocence/A Kentucky summer camp teaches “sex liberation,” “BDSM,” and “self-pleasure” to minors. “Such a program would hardly cause a stir on the campuses of Oberlin or Barnard, but Sexy Sex Ed is hosting its programs in a deep-red state and recruiting children as young as 13 to discuss graphic sexual practices with the instructors and adult co-participants in their thirties and forties. The camp organizers have admitted that they target vulnerable youth, including foster children, who are at high risk of sexual abuse. (Emphasis added.)”
Democrats Urge Biden to Enact Agenda by Edict. Seriously? Why bother to have this separate branch of government if a president enacts his agenda by edict? It is mindboggling that some in Congress would even consider such a preposterous idea.
White House drafts TikTok stars to blame Putin for rising gas prices. Who is in control of making these White House decisions? TikTok is owned by Beijing-based technology company ByteDance, founded by the Chinese billionaire entrepreneur, Zhang Yiming. The 37-year-old was named one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in 2019, who described him as “the top entrepreneur in the world”. TikTok is a social media platform for creating, sharing and discovering short videos. The app is used by young people as an outlet to express themselves through singing, dancing, comedy, and lip-syncing, and allows users to create videos and share them across a community. Where are the adults in the White House?
