What happens when a 16 year old, with 3 gun busts in 4 months, is given a low bail ($10,000) by a lenient judge?   Alberto Ramirez, 16, was arrested Monday in the slaying of Eric Velasquez, 34, who was struck by a stray bullet that the teen allegedly shot blindly into a crowd while on a rival gang’s turf.  We must end this soft-on-crime mentality that is pervasive in the democratic-controlled legislature.  November 8, 2022 is 516 days from today; the question is, how many senseless deaths will be the result of the progressive movement that demanded the criminal justice changes that are responsible for the current crime wave?

Biden warns climate change is ‘greatest threat’ to US security: ‘This is not a joke’  President Joe Biden seriously believes that climate change is the greatest threat to our security; I wonder what he thinks about cybersecurity and companies who pay ransomware when hacked?  Does he really believe that those collecting the ransomware want to make the world a better place?  Did his son Hunter convince him that China is our friend?  That they do not steal our technology, sell inferior products, infected the world with COVID-19 with their silence, that they do not want to rule the world?  Obviously, his appeasing Iran tells us that he doesn’t believe Iran’s goal of achieving a nuclear weapon is a threat to US Security.  The crisis at our border – allowing all into our country – is his creation, so no threat to our security there. Does he really think that diminishing our energy independence and protecting Russia’s, safeguards our security? President Joe Biden needs a reality check – from those who truly care about the security of the one nation that has lifted so many others.  While his focus is on climate change, our enemies focus on destroying the United States of America.  Shame on him especially saying this while addressing our service men and women who have taken an oath to keep our country safe from enemies and sacrifice so much in our all-volunteer military.

Statement by NYS Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar

 Brooklyn, NY – The New York State Conservative Party fully supports Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt and Assembly Republican Leader Will Barclay in their efforts to end the state of emergency declared in March of last year.  (See their press release here.)

With the end of Session rapidly approaching, the fact that both democratic controlled houses of the Legislature have failed to rescind Governor Cuomo’s egregious power to rule New York State by his Executive Orders is an indication that they have no intention of resuming their responsibility as elected officials.   Initially Chapter 23 of the Laws of 2020 was passed to expand the Governor’s emergency powers by authorizing him to issue directives related to the pandemic, in addition to his existing authority to suspend laws and regulations during emergencies, and was set to expire on April 30, 2021.   Instead of allowing the bill to expire, they extended it and passed another bill – Chapter 71, Laws of 2021 – prohibiting new directives related to the pandemic, however, it preserves much of the Governor’s power by allowing him to extend and modify previously issued directives, subject to some additional procedural safeguards.

The people of New York State deserve better; they deserve a legislature that accepts the responsibility they swore to uphold.  The members of the NYS Legislature have a moral responsibility to revoke the authority they handed Governor Cuomo when they relinquished their accountability as elected officials.

Gov. Cuomo stated today that “Once 70% of adult New Yorkers have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, most remaining restrictions will be lifted.”  Lifting the restrictions are necessary as is rescinding his authority to continue and all executive orders.

Stars and Stripes

Last week, Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis introduced the Stars and Stripes Act of 2021; legislation that directs the Secretary of State to restrict the display of certain political flags or banners at diplomatic and consular posts around the world. The bill was immediately Co-Sponsored by House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik and supported by numerous other Members of Congress.

The bill is in response to Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s order authorizing and encouraging all U.S. embassies overseas to display ‘Black Lives Matter’ flags and banners.

“It is inappropriate for President Biden and Secretary Blinken to authorize and encourage the display of inherently political flags that are in no way affiliated with the U.S. Government over American embassies overseas,” Malliotakis said. “The American flag is a beacon of freedom and hope for oppressed peoples around the world; it should be the primary flag flown above our embassies and that is what my legislation seeks to accomplish. The Administration’s directive is an insult to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our flag and our nation – especially as we head into Memorial Day weekend – and it is absolutely ridiculous that legislation is needed to correct this issue.”

While the White House believes our flag is just a prop to be used on Government buildings, it is beyond me why something that represents rioters, looters, and the destruction of so many cities flies with our nations flag. The Red, White, and Blue of the United States is a symbol of prosperity, freedom, ambition and hope. Other political flags have no place in representing America anywhere in the world.

Restore Order Anti-Crime Initiative

As Democrats in Albany continue to push legislation to release dangerous felons back out on the street, Republicans in the State Senate and Assembly are introducing a bill to help combat the recent rise in violent crime across the state.

According to the Police Benevolent Association of New York State, 20 cop killers have been released since 2017. Under new Democratic proposals such as “Elder Parole” and the “Fair and Timely Parole Act,” even more cop killers will become eligible for release. Additionally, notorious killers such as David Berkowitz, better known as Son of Sam, who murdered 6 people during his terror spree and Joel Rifkin who murdered 9 women, but is believed to have killed 17 in total, could be released under the new legislation.

“Herman Bell. Anthony Bottom. Richard Rivera. The list of cop-killers released by Andrew Cuomo’s out-of-control Parole Board in the past few years goes on and on. As if that weren’t bad enough, radicals in the One-Party-ruled Legislature are now planning to spring New York’s most dangerous criminals loose with their latest “reforms.” Spree killers. Serial killers. Child killers. Even the Son of Sam and Mark David Chapman could be eligible to be released under Democrats’ dangerous proposals. To be clear, their proposals aren’t reform — they are utter madness, especially at a time when crime rates in major metro areas across the state are on the rise. It’s time for our colleagues on the other side of the aisle to reject this unsafe path, and join us in our efforts to restore common sense and public safety in New York,” said Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt.

Since gaining control of the State Senate in 2018, state Democrats have put the interests of those most willing to commit crimes above the interests of those who wish to exist peacefully, support a family, and feel safe in their communities. Their mandate and rhetoric have caused a spike in unnecessary violence all over the Empire State that shows no sign of slowing down as we head into summer.

Zeldin at 76% of Party’s Weighted Vote

 As many of you know in our Party’s quest to run the most viable, philosophically aligned candidate for Governor many months ago I urged Congressman Lee Zeldin to consider a run.

During these past months as Lee made his decision to run and embarked on his extensive travels to meet with our leaders and the citizens in all parts of the state, I was pleased with the level of support he was receiving from within the Party.

County after county, leader after leader endorsed Lee. Excitement was clearly building with many party activists reaching out to me indicating they felt good about our chances of taking back the State next year.

The bottom line being that Congressman Lee Zeldin was quickly gaining momentum within the Party.

The official Party endorsements are done by a weighted vote of the State Committee at a convention early next year. The County organizations and our senior leaders select these State Committee members thus a County and/or leader endorsement is an excellent indication where the Party is going.

Congressman Zeldin is receiving overwhelming support within the Party.

A few weeks back with the endorsement of the Broome County Conservative Party

Congressman Zeldin surpassed 50% of the weighted vote of the Party. In my view that made Lee the pre-emptive candidate of our Party.

This past week with the endorsement of the St. Lawrence County Conservative Party Lee hit the 76% mark which in my view now makes him the presumptive candidate of the Party.

His support continues to grow with new County endorsements expected to follow based on calls I have received in the past three days. As our presumptive nominee, I will move from being a longtime personal supporter to leading the Party on his behalf as we plan for a November 2022 victory.

More details and announcements to follow in the coming days.

Memorial Day is a somber holiday and the weekend weather had a hand in reminding us of how important it is to reflect on the lives America has lost while protecting all good that America stands for. We were reminded of the sacrifices young men and women have made so all Americans can partake in the vision our Founding Fathers foresaw when they declared freedom and formed the greatest nation ever.  A nation where people still strive to live in, a nation that has the wherewithal to correct her missteps and a nation that wants to achieve the dream that all men are created equal. Federalist Publisher Ben Domenech, in his opening monologue on Monday’s Fox News Primetime, gave us all a renewed passion as to why America is the greatest nation ever created and how very blessed we are to live here where young men and woman are still willing to sacrifice their lives to keep it safe.  We are forever grateful and will live up to your expectations.

We are grateful now and forever to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our great nation.

Spring Reception

I was happy and humbled to see a great number of you at our spring reception. As our community emerges stronger and more resilient from our challenging times, seeing you all reminded me that despite the challenge we still face, the support of one another only makes the Conservative Party stronger.

There are many people to thank for making the evening memorable including Congressman Lee Zeldin and former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino who gave us insight in their quest to replace Governor Cuomo, something we can all get behind. It was a pleasure to bring Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay to the podium to talk about the amazing work the Assembly Republican Conference is doing.

Additionally, I want to thank Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis for being our keynote speaker. Nicole is a longtime friend of the party and founder of the Congressional Freedom Force. She has been an outspoken critic of the far left who tout socialism, vowing to fight their radical agenda.

Congratulations to Senators Ortt, Helming, O’Mara, Borrello, as well as Assemblyman DiPietro for being awarded with the state Conservative Party’s highest legislative rating.  Senate Minority Leader Ortt, like his Assembly colleague Will Barclay, has conservatives proud with his stellar leadership.

Finally, a big congratulations to Bob Smith our J. Daniel Mahoney award winner. It was an honor to bestow the award named after a great conservative to another great conservative who has played such a large role in our party.

Since Governor Cuomo created JCOPE in his first term, isn’t it obvious this is exactly what he wanted?  Remember the Moreland Commission?  Cuomo calls state watchdog ethics panel JCOPE ‘meaningless.’ The Emperor is invincible in his own eyes.  His passion is to do something his father, Mario, couldn’t do — win a fourth term.  The emperor, who has done everything possible to blind us with a perfect aura around his warts, will deservedly fail and his legacy will be the same as the meaningless commissions he created to fool the public.  The people who have not fled New York’s high taxes, out-of-control crime, failing public schools, a Legislature that abdicated its responsibility, and other major problems that vitiate our quality of live, will speak loud and clear to save our state on November 8, 2022.  New Yorkers have a message to Governor Andrew Cuomo:  fool me once shame on you fool, me twice shame on me.

Dr. Fauci is addicted to publicity and probably cannot help him self when he makes outlandish statement like this: “Fauci can’t say whether WHO is infected by China’s political influence but can say that New York, the COVID mecca of the US with the most deaths and infections, handled the crisis right.”  If New York handled it right, who handled it wrong – Vermont the least number in the contiguous states?
