Last week our daily update believed Andrew Cuomo was in denial; however, after his interview with the New Yorker, this writer believes the man is truly delusional and dangerous.  The man stated “I’m not gonna drag the state through the mud, through a three-month, four-month impeachment, and then win, and have made the State Legislature and the state government look like a ship of fools, when everything I’ve done all my life was for the exact opposite,” Cuomo continued. “I’m not doing that. I feel good. I’m not a martyr. It’s just, I saw the options, option A, option B.”  Wow!  Cuomo’s arrogance, egotism and condescension is beyond description.  If he believes what he said, he must never be elected to any position, including, but not limited to, dog catcher. And if his brother Chris advised him that voters would believe his over confident statement, then simply put, they – voters – do not understand the responsibility they have in placing people in elective office.

Governor Cuomo Resigns in Disgrace

 On Tuesday Andrew Cuomo gave one of the most disingenuous resignation speeches in human memory, but at least he resigned.

We trust that his stepping down will do nothing to slow the myriad investigations into his misbehaviors, including covering up nursing home death data; profiting $5.1 million from his obfuscation of those deaths; using state-paid employees to write his tome, and allegations of both physical and verbal sexual abuse of at least 11 women.

Mr. Cuomo’s behavior has shown the need for far greater transparency in New York State government, and so many questions for him still need to be answered.

We continue to call on the Assembly to proceed with impeachment proceedings, along with the Albany County Sheriff Department’s investigation into the criminal complaints levied against Governor Cuomo. He must be held accountable for his actions.

Incoming Governor Kathy Hochul

The Conservative Party wishes incoming Governor Kathleen Hochul well in her transition to New York’s top executive office. New York has faced much adversity over the last 18 months, and it is time for leaders to put the needs of the entire state over themselves.

However, we will continue holding her to account for allowing Mr. Cuomo’s gross, well-known behavior to go on for the past seven years she served as his Lt. Governor. Often times, the Lt. Governor verbalized how proud she was to work alongside Governor Cuomo. With the information we now have, it is unlikely that she and her staff could have been so blind to the many misdeeds occurring in the Cuomo administration.

We cannot afford another clubhouse politician as New York’s Chief Executive. We need and deserve transparency from a Governor the public can respect and puts constituents first.

Cayuga County Conservative Party

The Cayuga County Conservative Party held their annual clambake honoring long time party leader Greg Rigby. The event was a great success, and I was beyond pleased to see the Cayuga organization functioning so well.

I want to congratulate Chairman David Pappert and his committee on a great afternoon. The more than 200 people in attendance was a clear indicator of the good work he and his committee are doing.

Greg Rigby and his wife have re-located to South Carolina and we wish them nothing but the best. Greg has been a dear friend and leader within the Conservative Party holding positions as both Cayuga County Chairman and State Party Vice Chairman. He will be greatly missed here in New York State.

Governor Cuomo’s resignation must not be the end of the impeachment process nor the other investigations that are ongoing.  His resignation announcement was pathetic; a disservice to all New Yorkers and to put it bluntly a crock of manure.  New Yorkers must not accept his resignation as enough penance for all that he has done to undermine quality of life for all New Yorkers and especially those who had the fortitude to come forward. 

Lest we forget:  Some 15,000 dead seniors and 11 harassment victims later, Andrew Cuomo finally resigns in disgrace as New York governor.

E.J. McMahon writes in the Wall Street Journal (subscription required): Andrew Cuomo Is Gone, His Economic Mismanagement Not Forgotten.

Ronan Farrow writes about Andrew Cuomo’s War Against a Federal Prosecutor in the New Yorker.

Read this article before you believe that the incoming governor will solve New York’s problems.  Did she write her own press releases, or did the current governor’s machine write and issue for her?  Either way it is a problem for her.  For years, Kathy Hochul praised creepy Andrew Cuomo as a protector of women.  What is telling in this article is the last sentence, “Reps for Hochul did not immediately respond to requests for comment.”

From the Albany Times Union:  Hochul plots course as incoming governor after Cuomo’s resignation/ Says her administration will never be called “toxic.”  Did anyone expect her to say it would be toxic?  Amazing how one could be involved with the Cuomo Administration and not be aware of the toxicity permeating on the 2^nd Floor of the State Capitol…Albany has never been known as a place where “secrets” are secret.  The Cuomo Administration was well known for its bullying tactics, in fact he was quite proud of them.

Hochul promises to ‘fight like hell’ for New York…like she did when she dutifully praised the governor as a protector of women?

America needs term limits in every level of government!!

Some background:  “Washington’s voluntary decision to decline a third term was also seen by many people as a safeguard against the type of tyrannical power yielded by the British crown during the Colonial era.”

“… talk about a presidential term-limits amendment started in 1944 when Republican candidate Thomas Dewey said a potential 16-year term for Roosevelt was a threat to democracy. In a speech in Buffalo on October 31, 1944, Dewey said, “four terms or sixteen years is the most dangerous threat to our freedom ever proposed. That is one reason why I believe that two terms must be established as the limit by constitutional amendment.”  The 22^nd Constitutional Amendment was introduced March 24, 1947 and became law on February 27, 1951.

Charles Ellis Schumer was born November 23, 1950, graduated as valedictorian, went on to Harvard and Harvard Law School and earned his law degree in 1974, passed the bar in 1975 but never practiced law. He was first elected in 1974 and has held elected office since then.   His only job outside of being an elected official was during high school.  (New York Senator Chuck Schumer actually worked for Kaplan – his first job – spinning off test prep materials on the mimeograph machine.)  Sen. Schumer’s father owned a small exterminating business that young Schumer thought was a huge albatross around his neck.   Obviously, it was hard work, long days, little time off as anyone who owns their own business knows.  That and his only job apparently soured the soon to be US Senator on being his own entrepreneur, like  Bill Gates, Peter Theil, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk,  and the countless others that have created businesses providing jobs for others.  Senator Charles Schumer never had to meet a payroll, pay for health insurance, create an atmosphere that supported what made the greatest nation in the world; he chose to be an elected official and tell us how we must use our hard earned paychecks…every day since 1974!

If ever there was a person that personified the need for term limits it is the current Majority Leader of the US Senate.

Cuomo found to have committed State and Federal crimes

 On Tuesday, the New York attorney general’s office announced officially what we have all known for a long time—Governor Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women.

Attorney General Letitia James and investigators found that Cuomo harassed both current and former state employees, as well as a host of women outside of state government, engaging in “unwelcome and nonconsensual touching, making “suggestive” sexual comments and creating a “hostile environment” for women.

Since the findings of the scathing report was released Conservatives, Republicans, and Democrats alike have called on Governor Cuomo to resign. As of this morning, 41 out of the 62 Democrat County chairs in New York have also called for the disgraced Governors resignation, echoing the sentiments of both the Democratic majority leaders in the Senate, Assembly and even President Joe Biden.

The Governor has remained mostly silent and out of sight since the release of the AG report, choosing instead to huddle with his closest advisors and showing no intentions of resigning.

However, it would appear the Governor won’t be the Governor much longer as the Speaker of the New York State Assembly, Carl Heastie, vowed to move impeachment proceedings along expeditiously.

The clock is soon to strike midnight on the Cuomo family and his enablers.

Vaccination Card Mandate

 Mayor Bill de Blasio announced earlier this week that proof of vaccination will be required for indoor dining, gyms, and social venues starting on August 16^th.

The mandate has been met with swift opposition as lawsuits have already been filed and many more are to follow.

The decision by the mayor will have a substantial impact in the minority communities as nearly 70% of African Americans and 58% of Latinos citywide are not fully vaccinated This policy does nothing but place additional burdens on businesses still struggling to recover from shutdowns and creates tension between different communities based on their vaccination status.

Under no circumstance should anyone be forced to disclose their medical history or records in order to simply dine in a restaurant or visit a gym.

 Biden’s Super Spreader Border

Come August 16^th it will be easier to migrate to the United States illegally than it will be to dine inside a New York City restaurant.

More illegal immigrants have crossed the southern border into the United States than the population of some major American cities including: Boston, Washington, D.C, San Francisco, Seattle and Denver.

While the CDC and White House continue to push mask mandates and vaccination passports, COVID-19 positive immigrants are entering the country in record numbers – and bussed across the United States — further complicating our battle with the virus and making it evidently clear they have no control over the border, nor do they truly care about the safety and health of the American people.

Our southern border is a humanitarian and public health crisis that is growing worse by the day. The Biden administration is responsible for the largest super spreader event and refuses to act by closing the border in the interest of national health concerns.

Pay close attention as your government continues to mandate how you live your lives due to issues caused by the same Government that does little to protect the health and safety of its citizens.

CNN Goes an Entire Week Without Breaking a Million Viewers

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.
