Ukraine Crisis: The Next Biden Defeat?

Biden’s feckless energy policy is only getting worse — and he can’t blame Putin.

On Russia, Biden should learn from Reagan how economic warfare is done.

President Biden’s determination, at this time, to prevent American’s from being energy independent is undermining every aspect of the one nation that has used its ingenuity to uplift the world; his stubbornness is blinded by his fear of the woke and the press.

Lawmakers feast on pork in omnibus.  In 2011 a ban was established, then last year quietly came back and now that we are in an election year, earmarks are back; it seems as if they believe your vote is tied to how much of your tax dollars go to their pet projects that will most likely be named after them.    Sen. Schumer’s name is attached to 59 earmarks totaling nearly $80 million, which one can be certain that he will travel all over the state this summer with those huge checks (and of course a press gaggle) to let you know how generous he is with YOUR money.

Convention

This past week both the New York State Conservative and Republican parties held conventions and I am proud to announce we have a unified slate of candidates going into November 2022.

The two parties are unified behind a ticket led by Lee Zeldin and his pick for Lt. Governor, former NYPD Deputy Inspector Alison Esposito, United States Senate candidate Joe Pinion, New York State Attorney General candidate Michael Henry and finally New York State Comptroller candidate Paul Rodriguez.

In many ways 2022 is do or die for New York State. Year after year you hear about this election being the most “important.” Well, we have hit critical mass in New York State and we cannot afford the trajectory our leaders have us on. Our streets aren’t becoming less safe, they are less safe. Our pockets aren’t going to hurt, they are hurting. Time for a change is here, time to try something new is here.

Please visit our facebook page to see the acceptance speeches from our slate of candidates.

Reapportionment Legal

The Democratic Party wanted our petition related to overturning the grossly unfair gerrymander of the Congress and State legislature to be dismissed this past week when our hearing began before the State Supreme Court in Steuben County.  We wanted a full hearing on our claims with discovery ordered to accompany all written arguments and responses.  We got what we wanted.  The Democratic representative did not.

The Judge is committed to dealing with the case in an expeditious manner.  I am happy with the progress and will continue to keep you informed.

 State of The Union

The Conservative Party was pleased to see a bipartisan spirit of cooperation Tuesday over Russia’s vicious and illegal invasion of democratic Ukraine. We urge President Biden and Congress to redouble U.S. efforts to cripple Russia’s already faltering economy and to provide brave Ukraine with the lethal weaponry needed to defend itself.

We were anything but pleased, though, with President Biden’s domestic agenda that subscribes to the failed and magical liberal philosophy that the more government spends the more it saves. That’s how you drive an economy into the ground.

What’s needed is a long-term plan to stop the government overspending driving the most rapid inflation growth in 40 years. Americans once reached for the moon. Now, they reach ever more deeply into their pockets just to pay the interest on U.S. debt. That’s not a sustainable practice, and, until proper fiscal stewardship enters Washington’s vernacular, our woes at the supermarket and gas pump will go on.

Another example of a women living in her own world!  Pelosi suggests Biden’s approval rating low because Americans uninformed.  Madam Speaker, the reason Biden’s approval ratings are low is because Americans are informed; the buy gas, they buy food, they heat their homes, unlike you who stores your $13 pints of ice cream in a $24000 freezer, they live in the real world and are reflecting their disappointment in how President Biden is running our country.

NYT Publishes Slanderous Video About the Death of Trayvon Martin.  The NY Times has been called “The Gray Lady” both for its tradition of only printing in black and white and for its careful, deliberative approach to journalism.  It is mindboggling, and quite frankly very discouraging how “The Gray Lady” no longer lives up to that standard.

On Saturday, conservatives from across all sections of our state gathered in Westchester County to  nominate its statewide slate of candidates for the upcoming November elections: New York Conservative Party designates candidate slate and Political right highlights 2022 talking points at Conservative Party convention are just two of the news articles regarding our convention.  We did broadcast it live on Facebook, and if you want to see the enthusiasm and energy you can view it here.  Our candidates, Lee M. Zeldin for governor, Alison Espositio for Lt. Governor, Paul A. Rodriguez for NYS Comptroller, Michael L. Henry for NYS Attorney General and Joe Pinion for United States Senator from New York State are all dedicated to Saving Our State from the one-party rule that has led to increased crime, loss of jobs and population and parents being forced out of our children’s education by overzealous school boards subjecting them to indoctrination, mandates and masks. Our candidates and our Conservative Party are eager to restore New York to it Empire State status.

Governor Hochul has responded to the outcry of parents and those who have fought to end the mask mandate on our students by ending the mask mandate on March 2, while NYC is looking to end it on March 7.  Gov. Hochul is “reading the tea leaves” knowing full well that parents are fed up with the restrictions placed on our children.  Government overstepped its role during this pandemic, refusing to listen to the science while preaching, no demanding, we obey what they said.  We will not forget this in November, knowing full well, that if “forgive” the damage done to our children, the “woke” government will not hesitate to reinstate their controlling our freedom.  Leopards do not/cannot change their spots.

The Conservative Party will be at the forefront of reminding government’s elected officials that America is a Republic that was created by and for the people “We the people of the United States…do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America.”  The United States of America’s government is the everyday citizen, not the elected officials who believe they decide how to run it; they are there to follow what we decide; and when they do not; we will replace them.  During the dark days of our young nation’s Civil War, Abraham Lincoln ended his Gettysburg Address with this, “and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”  We the people who live, work, love and understand New York State will save our state on November 8, 2022.

Russia Invades the Ukraine

Vladimir Putin’s Russia revealed itself as a pariah state this week as it launched an unprovoked invasion of Democratic Ukraine.

The New York State Conservative Party urges President Biden and other world leaders to impose the most severe sanctions possible on Putin’s Russian regime.

Ukraine is a free and independent nation that escaped the grasp of Marxism a generation ago. It must not be lost to totalitarianism again. To the brave Ukrainians who have taken up arms to defend their homeland and democracy, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We wish you all the strength in the world to repeal back this invasion.  Read our statement on Russia’s invasion here.

Reapportionment

 The New York State Supreme Court in Steuben County will hear the major case objecting to the new New York State Senate and House of Representatives district lines.

The hearing is set to be held on Thursday, March 3^rd. We expect a decision soon after and remain hopeful that we will have a successful day in court. The State Constitution outlines numerous criteria for a fair and equitable reapportionment.

Many members of the media and political scene, regardless of party affiliation, in NY and across the country have spoken out against the gerrymandered lines presented to us by the Democratic state legislature. We believe we will present strong arguments that must be taken into serious consideration.

 Alison Esposito for Lt. Governor

 I was pleased to attend Lee Zeldin’s announcement Wednesday as he named his running mate for Lt. Governor, Deputy Inspector Alison Esposito.

Inspector Esposito is a retiring member of the NYPD who will bring an abundance of knowledge and experience in law enforcement at a time when New York City and State desperately need it.

What may not be as obvious is her wide range of experience throughout NYC’s diverse communities or her proven ability to lead in the most stressful of circumstances.

Born and raised in Orange County, and a current Manhattan resident, Alison is a well-studied conservative with solid core beliefs. Together with Zeldin they will return the executive chamber to common sense, conservative control.

Zeldin, Esposito and the rest of the statewide tickets will be nominated on Saturday afternoon at our convention to be held at the Westchester Manor with check-in beginning at 1:00 pm. I look forward to a good convention with many of you in attendance.
