Eric Blair forewarned us 72 years ago…can the predictions in his novel be avoided?

Shameful does not eve begin to describe what President Biden did Tuesday!  “The bulk of the constitutional scholars say it’s not likely to pass constitutional muster,” he confessed.  I never thought I would hear those words from the President of the United States of America; that is a response one expects from the “presidents” of Venezuela, Russia, Iran or any government that does not respect the rule of law.

Our nation is clearly on track to lose the very essence of what made us the beacon of freedom to the rest of the world; the fact that we have established rules of laws that our elected officials take an oath to uphold.  When the Commander-in-Chief stand at a podium and says ““The bulk of the constitutional scholars say it’s not likely to pass constitutional muster,” then pushes his Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to ban evictions once again — knowing full well he was likely breaking the law and violating his oath of office; the highest elected official in the United States of America blatantly ignores his oath of office.  America wake up! We are a nation of laws and when the most powerful man in America makes a mockery of our them how can we expect to have the citizenry to respect our constitutional republic ‘s laws?  (Note the increase in crime throughout the United States of America.)

Ronald Reagan said ““I didn’t leave the Democratic party, the Democratic Party left me,” years before “The Squad” took over the Democratic Party.  The New York Times recently (July 28, 2021) ran a guest editorial by Atossa Araxia Abrahamian, a journalist who has written extensively about citizenship, that bellowed the following headline: There Is No Good Reason You Should Have to Be a Citizen to Vote. The Biden Administration warned Cubans and Haitians fleeing by boat against traveling to US while little to no restrictions are placed on the cartels smuggling people across our southern border.

Our national debt is worse than what is being reported, yet “the Squad” demands more – determined to destroy the nation that has given the world so many advances in its standard of living while maintaining the mantle of oligarchs they believe they, and only they, are entitled to wear.

History – when reported/taught honestly – acknowledges that collapse of a nation comes from within. America has been the beacon of freedom since its birth, but those who seek to destroy this great nation (the elitist oligarchs) are becoming stronger and may soon have the strength to extinguish our beacon of hope and freedom.

President Joe Biden, sadly for us – those who love and respect America —  your place in history will not be among the leaders that future generations will want to emulate.

Statement from State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on New York City Vaccine Card Requirement

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Statement from State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on New York City Vaccine Card Requirement

August 4, 2021

“Mayor Bill de Blasio’s punitive and impractical vaccine card requirement for entering restaurants and theaters is bound to create confusion and hostility among New Yorkers and the businesses that serve them.  Civil liberties aside — and there are serious issues at stake here — vaccine cards are easily forgeable and shop owners can’t be expected to be able to verify them. The expense of hiring extra personnel to check cards, moreover, is more than many of these restaurants can financially endure.

“The mayor’s plan also defies logic: if both vaccinated and unvaccinated New Yorkers can pass along Covid-19 to others, what would this plan accomplish other than punish New Yorkers who choose not to be vaccinated?

“New Yorkers can also expect the de Blasio plan to creep into all areas of private business. What’s starting at restaurants and theaters may soon logically expand into every type of shop and office. Inside space is inside space, no? Do we really want to live that way?

“Underage New Yorkers used to flock to underground shops in Times Square and other places to buy fake paper driver’s licenses to get them into bars. Next, entrepreneurs will be selling fake vaccine cards — guaranteed.

“This is an ill-conceived idea that will put an unworkable burden on businesses, drive a wedge between city residents, and kickstart new underground forgery businesses. New York doesn’t want any of those things. Mayor de Blasio should scrap this plan before it begins.”

Governor Andrew Cuomo is in total denial; continues to make excuses for his conduct.

Governor Cuomo, the photos you used in your live press statement, were taken in public places with people who were more than willing to be welcomed in your established manner; there is NO comparison with a very public display and what happened in the privacy of the encounters as described to the Attorney General’s investigators.

Your press conference, was undoubtedly designed to provide an explanation of your egregious behavior, it did not.  In fact, it made it even more egregious, now that we know you have personal knowledge of sexual misconduct.  Nothing you can say, do, ask forgiveness for, will change the fact that you crossed the line.  As you noted, you are the Governor of New York State, and while only “human” like the 19 million people who live in New York State, as Governor you are expected to be a leader – a person to set a good example — not a debaucher who believes he is permitted to caress an assistant in your employ or the general public.

The Attorney General’s report noted New York governor Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women, among them current and former state employees, in violation of federal and state law, yet stated the report is “is civil in nature and does not have criminal consequences.”  National Review is reporting that Anne Clark, one of the lead investigators for the probe, said prosecutors may look at the evidence contained in the report and determine whether to press charges.

It is imperative that criminal charges are filed; if not, how will any person ever have faith that they will be protected from such unwarranted, harassing and degrading actions by an employer, or for that matter another individual.

Governor Cuomo stated, in his presser, he will have yet another training session for himself and employees.  With out his resigning and facing criminal charges it will just as meaningless as the one state employees are required to take now.

Chairman Kassar weekly wrap up discusses DOJ Dropping Nursing Home Investigation, House Passes Spending Bill and the Universal Absentee Lawsuit.

DOJ Drops Nursing Home Investigation

The Department of Justice has decided to drop their investigation into whether the civil rights of residents in New York’s government-run nursing homes were violated by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his decision to demand nursing homes admit COVID-19 positive patients.

Governor Cuomo is still under investigation by the FBI and the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney’s office for the cover up of the total number of residents killed by the virus in nursing homes.

“New Yorkers deserve answers and accountability. I was the first member of Congress to call for an investigation into Governor Cuomo’s corrupt criminal coverup and I will continue to fight for the families who lost loved ones because of the cruelty and corruption of our Governor,” Congresswoman Elise Stefanik said.

The decision to drop the investigation by the Biden Administration while the FBI, and U.S. Attorney’s office continue their probe is a clear favor to Cuomo who has been an ally of Biden since day 1. It is unfortunate President Biden’s DOJ was willing to trade the lives of thousands of New Yorkers to protect the Governor who sent countless individuals to their deaths then lied –and profited — about it.

The motives are clearly political. We have all seen first-hand the carnage caused by the Governors order and the admission by his own staff of their subsequent cover up and abuse of power.  Justice for the victims and their families are now in the hands of the FBI and Brooklyn U.S. Attorney’s office as well as the Legislature.

House Passes Spending Bill

 The U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed a spending bill which notably funds the Green New Deal, provides money to communist China, tramples on the 2ND Amendment, and has no Hyde Amendment protections.

The Democratic-led House’s bill would eliminate a 45-year-old stipulation that prohibits taxpayer money from funding abortions. The bill passed with a 219-208 vote.

Fortunately, the bill is unlikely to pass the Senate with at least one Democrat, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, voicing her intentions to vote no when the bill comes to a vote on the Senate floor.

All eight Conservative Party endorsed members of the New York delegation voted no on the bill.

 Universal Absentee Lawsuit

The State Supreme Court in Niagara County will hear our arguments on August 26th for a summary judgement to strike a statue that made universal absentee ballots available for this year’s elections. While they are hearing our arguments, they will hear arguments by the defendants, which include the Governor and State Legislature who wish to have our lawsuit dismisses.

The complaint seeks to overturn an unconstitutional action by the State Legislature S.8015-D/A.10833 signed into law by Governor Cuomo on August 20th, 2020 and now Chapter 139 of the laws of 2020. This Chapter amends Election Law Section 8-400 in clear violation of Article II, Section 2 of the State Constitution. This section establishes specific circumstances in which a registered voter can obtain an absentee ballot.

The Conservative Party maintains that this Chapter makes a permanent change in the State Constitution and as such requires approval of the electorate by placing such amendment on the November ballot. The Legislature and Governor by adopting said piece of legislation have circumvented that process.

Statement from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on  Biden’s DOJ Ignoring Outrageous Cuomo Covid $chemes 

Brooklyn, NY — “Thousands of senior citizens perished in New York nursing homes from Covid-19 under Governor Andrew Cuomo’s ill-advised policies; Cuomo furtively covered up the deaths — at the very same time he was negotiating a $5.1 million book deal for himself, with his book largely written and researched by paid government employees.

“With all that, how is it possible that President Biden’s Department of Justice has decided that there’s nothing to see here?

“Could this have anything to do with Biden and Cuomo’s long political friendship? Could it have something to do with Cuomo being the first governor in America to endorse Biden for president?

“The New York State Conservative Party finds itself asking these very questions, because, frankly, no other explanation is tenable. This decision stinks to high heaven, and the families of those lost are right to be outraged. What a gross miscarriage of federal justice.”

Chairman Kassar’s weekly wrap up discusses Buffalo’s India Walton, the Ben & Jerry’s controversy and the NYS Senate GOP’s call for bail reform analysis.

Buffalo Mayoral Hopeful Has Questionable Background

The Buffalo News reported on Tuesday that the home of India Walton was the subject of a police investigation in 2018 after numerous complaints of a drug operation surfaced.

A police report obtained by The Buffalo News showed that officers investigated the complaints in the fall of 2018. Police sources said the suspect from Walton’s home was Anson Whitted, who served more than 12 years in state prison for selling cocaine, assault and possession of a weapon.

Walton doesn’t deny Whitted’s presence in the home acknowledging he was a frequent guest who occasionally stayed there.

The owner of the home whom Walton was renting from demanded she move out of the house after receiving numerous complaints about constant visitors consistent with drug trade activities.

The self-proclaimed Democratic socialist scored a stunning upset over longtime incumbent Buffalo Mayor Myron Brown. Walton, an outspoken advocate for defunding the police, is endorsed and supported heavily by the far left Working Families Party and Democratic Socialists of America Party.

Ben & Jerry’s Boycott

Ben & Jerry’s announced on Monday that it would stop selling ice cream in the occupied Palestinian territory, the decision has sparked a wave of criticism from both Democrats and Republicans, and leading to mass boycotts that include long time vendors ending contracts with the ice cream company and stores pulling the product off their shelves.

“#Benandjerrys has now decided they know more about Jerusalem than the Israelis. If Ben & Jerry’s wants to have a meltdown & boycott Israel, OK is ready to respond. Oklahoma has an anti-boycott of Israel law in place,” @SenatorLankford (R-OK) Twitted Wednesday.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and State Comptroller Glenn Hegar echoed a similar sentiment, threatening to add the company and its parent, Unilever, to a list of organizations that boycott Israel, making it ineligible for investments from the state’s pension fund.

While Ben & Jerry’s no longer feel comfortable doing business with Israel, they continue to feel comfortable doing business with China. I suspect Ben & Jerry’s will soon find their sales to have cooled off following what will be a significant boycott of the brand all over the world.

Senate GOP Calls for bail reform analysis

New York State Senate Republicans this week called on officials to conduct a review of whether the changes to New York’s bail laws are linked to the rise in violent crime throughout the state over the last few months.

Senate Minority Leader Robert Ortt sent a letter to the Office of Court Administration and the state Division of Criminal Justice Services, asking if the sharp rise in shootings in New York City in 2020 compared to that of previous years have any correlation with the states soft on crime bail reform legislation.

“The recent surge in shootings and violent crime all across the state have confirmed our worst fears — so called criminal justice ‘reforms’ passed under One-Party Rule are a danger to all New Yorkers,” Ortt said. “Shootings are up. Hate crimes are up. While the Governor’s recently declared state of emergency finally acknowledges what the Republican Conference has stated all along, that violence in our cities is a serious problem, it ignores the very policies and rhetoric he has embraced in the past two years: bail reform, discovery reform and a war on our police. It’s time for the Governor to acknowledge the consequences of his actions, and that begins by examining his own state data — not ignoring or whitewashing it,” he continued.

In 2021, murders have increased by more than 3% in New York City while shooting incidents have increased by 22%. Startling numbers when you consider we are just now entering the time of year in which crime spikes.
