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.”
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.
Carl Heastie uses his control of NY education policy to serve teachers unions. The NY Post editorial points out “Heastie wouldn’t have become speaker in early 2015 without the assent of the New York State United Teachers and its city affiliate, the United Federation of Teachers, and ever since he has overwhelmingly hewed to the unions’ positions on adding more school funding, hiking taxes on high earners, opposing charters and fighting teacher-accountability measures.”
Sen. Rand Paul vs Dr. Anthony Fauci. More about today’s “heated” hearing from Fox News.
AOC, a product of the adoring media, really thinks the outlandish vitriol she preaches is proven; obviously a product of the failing US education system.
I wonder if is this article is placed on social media, how long it will be available before removed: The Panic Pandemic/Fearmongering from journalists, scientists, and politicians did more harm than the virus.
Kimberly Hermann writes in City-Journal: The People v. Critical Race Theory/Lawsuits are a vital tool in the struggle against race-based programming in public schools.
The hunger for freedom sparked massive protests across the island nation of Cuba this week as citizens took to the streets rallying against 62 years of tyranny and communism.
The communist Cuban regime has blocked internet access, as well as restricted all international media coverage of the protest, but that has not stopped the story from spreading to ever corner of Cuba and the United States.
Support for Cuban freedom has been bi-partisan with members of both parties publicly speaking out in support of the Cuban people. However, despite calls for action from both sides of the aisle, the Biden Administration has been slow to act.
Florida Democrats, many of whom represent districts just 150 miles or less from Cuba, see an opportunity to act on behalf of the Cuban people and freedom. “…failed policies of a communist regime that has violated human rights, imprisoned & killed dissidents.” Said former Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. “This is a matter of national security. The US must act” she continued.
Though one Democratic representative, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, found a way to blame the United States. “We also must name the U.S contribution to Cuban suffering: our sixty-year-old embargo,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “I outright reject the Biden administration’s defense of the embargo. It is never acceptable for us to use cruelty as a point of leverage against everyday people.
Congressmember Nicole Malliotakis, the daughter of a Cuban immigrant, released this statement encouraging the Biden Administration to not revert back to the Obama Administration failed foreign policy strategy with Cuba.
The Biden Administration cannot continue to sit on their hands. The time for “considering” actions is over. The Cuban people want decisive action and support, the United States is in the position to provide both.
Tenney Sues for Gun Rights
Congresswoman Claudia Tenney is pushing the Supreme Court to overturn a state law limiting who can carry concealed firearms outside their homes. The move comes with the support from 168 House Republicans.
Tenney and the coalition of Republicans have filed an amicus brief backing the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association’s lawsuit against New York, arguing that its law denying concealed-carry licenses to law-abiding citizens without a “proper cause” is a violation of Second Amendment rights.
“Everybody is very interested in it,” Congresswoman Tenney said. “This would probably give some clarity on a national level as to the ability to restrict Second Amendment rights when it comes to concealed carry, particularly outside the home.”
New York gun law prohibits concealed-carry licenses unless “proper cause” can be proven by demonstrating they have reason to be issued a permit. Gun rights advocates say the law makes it almost impossible for law-abiding citizens to obtain concealed-carry permits.
The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association and two men denied licenses to carry a gun outside of their home for self-defense filed the original legal challenge.
Chick-fil-A Controversy
New York State lawmakers are more concerned with fast food chicken than they are with dangerous bail reform, massive decline in quality of life, and violence sweeping across the state.
The Atlanta, Georgia based fast-food chain is one of many restaurants that were awarded contracts by the New York State Thruway Authority to be part of a $450 million plan to renovate 27 service areas. This has caused Democrats in the State Legislature to issue letters asking the Thruway Authority to re-examine the project solely due to the chicken restaurants Christian views of its founders and CEO.
Chick-fil-A, the highest grossing fast food chain in America, has multiple locations throughout New York City, including its largest location located in Lower Manhattan.
In my experience a chicken on a bun is just that, let’s not make more out of it. Bringing Chick-fil-A to the Thruway is a great idea. Chick fil-A is a vendor that will be under contract to the Authority with all state guidelines being followed and no taxpayer funds involved. The most popular restaurant in American should be allowed to continue doing business throughout New York State.
You can read my statement on Chick-fil-A coming to the Thruway here.
President Joe Biden finally gets one aspect of foreign affairs right, albeit, it should begin now, and not in two weeks. Evacuation of Afghan interpreters who worked with US military to begin last week of July. Maybe this is what moved President Biden to do the right thing for the Afghan interpreters who helped our Military while they were stationed in Afghanistan. Whatever the reason, we should all be grateful that America is, once again, doing what is right for those who have helped our military.
On the other hand, if President Joe Biden continues to listen to the progressive left that hates America, he will become the greatest threat to American democracy since the birth of our beloved nation. The voting laws in place prior to COVID-19 have served our country well; they were in force while electing almost every member of the US Congress and Senate, 45 Presidents, countless Governors, members of State Houses, and local officials. The USA has protected foreign nations during world wars, advanced the health of citizens in underdeveloped nations, put a man on the Moon, created countless ways to improve lives — all by electing our officials without incidents — until the elite democrats decided that former President Donald J. Trump didn’t fit their agenda and made it their goal that President Trump would not be elected again. Now they are gaslighting Americans; demanding total control of all state elections. By catering to those progressives, President Joe Biden makes Coriolanus Snow (the fictional president in Hunger Games) look like a benevolent grandfather out to protect his children. Should he continue to portray the changes that states are implementing to protect the integrity of voting (must be a citizen, have identification and absolutely no automatic absentee ballots) President Joe Biden will become the greatest threat to what made America the beacon of the free world. Biden Labels GOP Voting Laws Greatest Threat to American Democracy Since Civil War.
Another outrageous progressive ploy by the Biden Administration: : Biden administration inviting UN racism, human rights envoys to visit US. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Tuesday that he welcomed the findings of a report from the U.N.’s human rights chief that called on countries to address their histories of racism, slavery and colonialism through “a wide range of reparations measures.” He went on to say “…I also welcome the UN Human Rights Council’s adoption today in Geneva of a resolution to address systemic racism against Africans and people of African descent in the context of law enforcement.” Then he invited the United Nations ‘Racism Envoy’ to U.S. Here is Chairman Kassar’s reaction issued earlier today.
Sen. Charles Schumer is planning a key vote on a bipartisan infrastructure deal that isn’t even written yet. When you read this article you will understand just how far democrats will go to get what they want with little regard for those who have to live with the results of their maneuvering to stay in power any way possible. Democrats are always about making promises that are financially impossible to sustain and then doing all they can to keep control of the process (and the citizens) and not consider the consequences of what they are doing to the financial stability of America? Democrats unveil $3.5T go-it-alone plan to fulfill Biden’s agenda.
Lawmakers charge Thruway plan allows bigotry on a bun. Chairman Kassar said he plans to dine at Chick-fil-A restaurants, noting the critics in the Legislature “don’t need to eat there, but they have no right to prevent others from doing so.”

Statement from New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar on Biden Administration Inviting United Nations ‘Racism Envoy’ to U.S.
Brooklyn, NY – “The Biden Administration is determined to embarrass America in the eyes of the world, hand a propaganda victory to our adversaries, and stir deeper racial divisions among us.
“Why else would the Biden State Department choose to invite the United Nation’s socialist Racism and Human Rights Envoy to the U.S. to ‘collect information’ on racial injustice, reparations, police reform, and critical race theory in U.S. classrooms?
“Americans well understand their past and don’t need to be lectured on it by foreign U.N. officials. What’s important to us is our continuing march toward becoming that ‘shining city on the hill’ for all Americans, as President Ronald Reagan so eloquently put it.
“The Democratic Party, rooted in slavery, never stops trying to divide us for political gain. It should leave yesterday alone and start focusing on today. It could start by knocking off the anti-cop rhetoric and policies that have created a new national crime wave.”
This must be the best headline grabber ever written: “Hey…DNC, “1984” was supposed to be a warning, not an operating manual!” Thanks to the geniuses at The FirstTV.com for writing it!
Kudos to David Soares, Albany County’s District Attorney, (who had the strong backing of George Soros and the Working Family Parties in his first run for DA,) for speaking out in a NY Post editorial on Cuomo’s weak-sauce crime plan misses the real issue: bail reform.
President Joe Biden’s priorities are sorely misplaced. President Biden sends yet another ‘Come on in’ signal, while the Afghanis who helped our military through the years and are now targeted by the Taliban continue to languish in fear while the United States does nothing to protect them or bring them to the United States in gratitude for all they did to protect our military.
