“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it”-Ronald Reagan
We hope you had a safe and healthy Thanksgiving and are in the Holiday Spirit. Here are a few articles you may have missed while enjoying the holiday with your family and some great food.
I seriously doubt this is on Andrew Cuomo’s must-read list, then again, he may want to know what an ex- aide has to say. The Collapse of the Cuomosexual.
Christopher F. Rufo writes in City-Journal about how activists in Seattle want to abolish police, prisons, and courts in his latest article “Burn It Down.”
(Can’t say that he is wrong on this since we are still locked out of Twitter, albeit, I think I know why now: we dared to link to articles about Hunter Biden’s ties to China.) Robert Knight opines in the Washing Times: Google, Facebook and Twitter fixed the election for Biden over Trump.
Despite the Covid-19 virus disrupting our daily lives and all the devastating deaths, losses of employment, closed schools, elections with strange results, and government officials who live by “do as I say; but I am exempt,” Americans have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2020.
We live in a country that recognizes the importance of our individual rights and our ability to worship in our choice of Houses of Worship. We live in a country that allows us to challenge our government without fear of being taken away in the middle of the night. We live in a country that has the courage and strength to acknowledge and correct its mistakes. And we live in a country that in its very short history (only 244 years) has lifted the world by sharing its entrepreneurship and vision. We live in a country that has fought wars to save the world from despot oligarchs determined to destroy all that America chooses to be.
I thank God every day that I was born in America, a country that celebrates life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And for those who seek to degrade who and what we are: Shame on you, instead of trying to destroy America just leave and go to a country that embraces what you believe in…if the oligarchs who control it let you in. Because in the end, it is all about who is in control. Oligarchs control the places you favor; in America, citizens decide.
President Trump’s legal defense team updated us yesterday on their ongoing investigation in what they believe to be widespread voter fraud.
“There’s not a singular vote fraud in one state. This pattern repeats itself in a number of states, almost exactly the same pattern,” campaign attorney Rudy Giuliani said.
“It suggests there was a plan from a centralized place to execute these various acts of voter fraud, specifically focused on big cities, and specifically focused on big cities controlled by Democrats,” he continued.
Giuliani maintains hundreds of thousands of mail-in-ballots were not inspected for irregularities before being counted in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia.
Additionally, questions continue to surround the Dominion Voting System software used to count votes. The Trump campaign alleges the system could have erroneously counted thousands upon thousands of votes for Biden that were meant for the President.
As we continue to await further information and evidence from the investigation, it is clear we are not doing enough to protect the integrity of our elections. We must demand transparency and allegations that Republican inspectors were not permitted to monitor the absentee ballot count is indeed troubling.
Live on Facebook with George Marlin
I will be speaking with George Thursday, December 3rd at 7:00pm on Facebook Live to discuss his new book Mario Cuomo: The Myth and the Man.
The former head of the New York Port Authority, Marlin has been heavily involved with the state’s Conservative Party, including being the Party’s candidate for mayor of New York City in 1993.
He writes his newest book with an intimate knowledge of the Cuomo family and how they operated, and continue to operate, politically in New York.
Details on how to get a signed copy of the book will be provided during the live interview on December 3rd.
Happy Thanksgiving
It may be difficult to understand how important the first Thanksgiving was for the pilgrims considering all that they had endured. Regardless, On June 20, 1676 the council of Charlestown, Massachusetts gathered to discuss the best options to express their gratitude. They would instruct the town clerk to proclaim June 29 as a day of Thanksgiving.
Though the first Thanksgiving can be traced back to 1621 when Colonists declared a day of thanks after their crops were saved by rainfall, the first official proclamation came in 1676 in Charlestown.
Nonetheless, they had much to mourn, but knew they had much to be thankful for. They had survived a rough voyage across the Atlantic, infectious diseases and exposure to the brutally cold New England winters. Within their original plantation, half of the 102 people who had set sail passed, yet they still gathered and were thankful.
As you visit with family and friends next week, it is my hope that you will find satisfaction and gratitude for everything we still have through all the troubles we have recently endured. Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the many abundance of blessings around us. A time to reflect on what God has provided for us, and a time to reflect on the many meaningful relationships we have with our loved ones.
I wish you all a happy and safe holiday season and look forward to continuing our good work into the future.
If you have college age children or grandchildren (even if you don’t), please read this. Be informed what the youth of America are being spoon-fed by the loony liberals who want nothing more than to destroy the greatest country ever created by a group of freedom loving men and woman.
And then there is this: Liberal Media Suggest Biden Should Take Aggressive Approach to Censoring Conservative Media. First, they want to eliminate the 2nd Amendment, then they will suppress the 1st Amendment. As we have noted previously; all those who voted for Biden due to their dislike, no, make that hatred of a man who only wanted the best for all Americans – you should have been careful what you wished for.
Most major news outlets used to stand up for the “little guy,” and took pride in doing so. Today, most major news outlets seek to squash the “little guy.” Note the headline: Washington Post Editorial Board Says the Electoral College Is ‘No Longer Tenable for American Democracy’. Why have national elections at all, just let California’s 55 electoral votes decide…Wyoming’s 3 votes would be cast aside if the Washington Post had its way. Maybe the Washington Post editorial writers need a refresher course in why the Electoral College is required.
The Justice Democrats who helped elect AOC want their pound of flesh and more. The silence of the old Democratic Party while the new Justice Democrats flexed their muscles has created a boondoggle that will never be able to put the genie back in the bottle. To those who threw the baby out with the bath water; you are stuck with what you wished for, at the very least for the next 2 to 4 years.
This is a must watch: Smokescreen. Legalizing marijuana – the truth the marijuana lobby doesn’t want you to know about. Governor Andrew Cuomo wants New York to legalize this potent drug to collect tax monies to close a budget gap that overspending caused.
Arizona’s Tax Disaster: Refugees from Blue States and Other Infuriating Explanations. This is a must read for New Yorkers. People leave the area they have lived in and made unbearable by how they vote; then the go to places with less taxes and more stable in government and continue to vote for what they escaped from. Is this their plan? Or are they incompetent and too uneducated to understand the consequences of their votes? Either answer indicates that we certainly have our work cut out for us.
The 70+ million Americans who voted for President Donald J. Trump understood this lesson and while the leftist call them “Trump Chumps” they are true Americans who will ultimately prevail and restore the American Dream of realizing your dreams are achieved through hard work and the satisfaction it brings. James B. Meigs writes in the City-Journal about The Chump Effect/Progressive policies penalize those who play by the rules and shower benefits on those who don’t.
Guy Benson opines in Townhall.com about the media’s obsession with Stacy Abrams and the sanctity of accepting election results. Benson believes Joe Biden is the President-elect as do others. He also believes that President Donald J. Trump has a right to pursue the legal options that are available; so does cpnys.
When all is said and done; America will have elected a president that some will support and some will oppose; hopefully without the violence we have seen in the past few months and over this weekend. In 1995 OJ Simpson was acquitted of murder and most who followed that trial believed he was guilty; however, the prosecution could not prove its case. Unfortunately, President Trump may fall short in proving his case that election fraud is responsible for his not receiving 270 electoral votes. Like so many things that were out of the ordinary in 2020 the 2020 Presidential Elections, as far as I am concerned, will be the “OJ Simpson” election. In the years that followed his acquittal; O.J. never proved his innocence, in fact he kept doing things that made those who believed his was guilty more certain that he was. Being an optimist, I am hoping 1) that Donald J. Trump will win in court, and 2) if he doesn’t and President-elect Biden is sworn in on January 20, 2021, Joe Biden will put America first, last and always; and not continue his embracement of those unwilling to work hard to achieve the American Dream while demanding handouts from those who have.
Ten days have passed since election day and there are still many questions to be answered. It appears we will get closer to at least one answer as Georgia begins to recount almost 5 million ballots.
The state has not voted for a Democrat since 1992, but Joe Biden holds a lead of just over 14,000 votes. In an unusual development, the vote counting in Atlanta’s State Farm Arena was halted due to a “burst pipe.” Officials have not been able to produce any proof that a work order was issued for the “burst pipe.” However, arena officials have called the incident “highly exaggerated” and called the issue a “slow leak” that they quickly managed.
The audits in Georgia will begin Friday morning and are required to be completed by November 18th.
In Pennsylvania a judge ordered the votes of those who failed to submit proof of identification before the November 9th deadline be disqualified, a win for the Trump campaign. However, Biden’s lead in the state is currently outside the minimum needed to call for an automatic recount.
In Arizona the votes continued to be counted. As of this writing we do not know if the separation between the two candidates will call for a recount.
An interesting development in the last 48 hours is the questioning of the Dominion voting machines that were reportedly used in multiple states, including the battleground state of Pennsylvania. The President and his team have made claims that the machines may have deleted more than two million of his votes.
The situation in many states remains fluid with the proper officials continuning to gather information and the Trump campaign investigating claims of voter fraud around the country.
Malliotakis Flips Rose
Max Rose officially conceded the race in New York’s 11th Congressional District to Nicole Malliotakis on Thursday putting an end to their three-day absentee ballot counting expedition that was not wielding the results he needed or hoped for.
With a lead of more than 37,000 votes, this race was all but settled on election night. Yesterday, what we knew all along, became official.
Nicole becomes the only Conservative/Republican to represent any part of New York City in Congress.
Running as the law and order candidate with the backing of every police union in the city, Nicole’s message of supporting the police against violent mobs and preserving the integrity of Staten Island and South Brooklyn, resonated to voters.
Outmatched dollar-to-dollar by the incumbent Max Rose, with Nancy Pelosi and the Congressional Leadership Fund pouring millions and millions more into the district, Nicole and her team outworked their opponent at every step.
In a race that is ultimately expected to be decided by ten to fifteen thousand votes, the Conservative Party is approaching nearly 11,000 votes in the district.
Mario Cuomo: The Myth and The Man by George Marlin
George J. Marlin sets the record straight on Mario Cuomo.
In the book, Marlin traces Cuomo’s political rise and documents how and why he abandoned his public opposition to abortion to be elected New York’s chief executive.
Marlin describes the protracted conflict between Cuomo and his church on abortion and refutes the governor’s claim that his “position on abortion is absolutely theologically sound.”
He critiques Cuomo’s famous 1984 Democratic convention speech as nothing more than the usual high-toned partisan liberal bromides that offered little, if anything, that hadn’t been touted by his party for half a century.
The book also uncovers New York State’s fiscal, economic, and social decline during Cuomo’s 12 years as governor. It explains why voters repudiated Cuomo’s version of a welfare state when he sought a fourth term in 1994 and why, in the words of his son, Governor Andrew Cuomo, his father was “more accomplished as a speech-giver than as a governor.”
Next week our email list will be sent more information on how to get a signed copy directly from the Conservative Party.
King Cuomo Cancels Thanksgiving
Andrew Cuomo has limited gatherings to no more than 10 people. No, not in restaurants, not in bars or taverns, not in catering halls. He has put a limit on how many people you can have in your own personal residence.
“I’ll be having more than 10 ppl at my house on Thanksgiving,” Staten Island Councilman Joe Borelli said in a tweet Wednesday. “Some family will come from (gasp!) New Jersey. Kids will see their grandparents, cousins will play in the yard, sis in law will bring strawberry rhubarb pie, & a turkey will be overcooked” he continued.
This new mandate from the Governor was issued along with ordering bars and restaurants to be closed by 10pm starting tonight and ordering all gyms closed.
Beyond attempting to put ridiculous restrictions on how many family members you can have over for the Holidays, the Governor seems hell bent on ensuring hundreds of more businesses shutter their doors for good throughout New York City.
The Governor remains drunk on power and completely unapologetic for contributing to the deaths of thousands and thousands of senior citizens.
The Emperor’s latest decree: Gov. Cuomo orders restaurants, bars to close at 10 p.m. amid COVID-19 uptick. “Additionally, Cuomo announced a new 10-person cap on parties and other gatherings in private residences, including apartments and houses.” Quick question, will the “Dinner Police” obtain a warrant to enter and count the number of people present in the apartments and houses?
The Emperor has consistently said that N.Y. Health Officials Will Review Any U.S. Approved COVID-19 Vaccine, which makes one wonder why he would delay allowing those who want the vaccine the opportunity to have it. (Did Sen. Holyman ask his permission?) What is worrisome is that Governor Andrew Cuomo did not attend the White House briefings (17 of them) “designed to brief state leaders on the vaccine development and rollout process;” why is it the Governor will withhold the vaccine from those who want it in NY while his health officials review the results? We have not forgotten what his health officials (NYS Dept of Health Commissioner Dr. Howard A. Zucker) recommend in his March, 2020 memo regarding NYS Nursing Homes.
Huge NEWS: Pennsylvania Judge Rules in Favor of Trump Campaign “Further, the judge found that Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar lacked the “statutory authority” to change election law just days before Election Day.”
At least they admitted this: Fox News Admits Wrong Call on Democrat House Seat Projections, but the question remains, was it the only wrong call? (Having Chris Wallace as the moderator of the first debate will never be acknowledged as a “wrong call.”)
It was the headline that caught my attention: New Conservative Investment Fund ‘Boycotts’ Companies with Liberal Agendas as it seems like a great idea. What really caught my attention when I went to read it was the photo of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in the article. Interesting photo. I guess the devil is in the details. Mr. Dorsey: the election is over, yet, we still cannot post on Twitter and still no explanation was to why we are locked out.
Michael Cook is the editor of MercatorNet.com based in Australia. This is what he wrote about our 2020 Presidential elections: America survived 1824. It can survive 2020. Here is another view, from Australia, of our presidential election from Robert Hutchinson, written on Nov. 5, so it is a little dated, but still interesting how another country sees us.
To say the NYS Bar Associations’ proposal to recommend a state coronavirus vaccine mandate is controversial is an understatement. BTW, when did the NYS Bar Association become part the of NYS Medical Society? The Emperor still wants NYS health officials to approve any vaccine that came about under the Trump Administration.
Tolerance is no longer the Left’s favorite word. The “leader” (AOC) of the Squad posted on her Twitter account: “Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future.” “Archiving those Trump sycophants,” quite the interesting choice of words…not flagged by Twitter… while we are still unable to post anything. The tolerant left no longer exists and they are looking for total control of news outlets and social media.
This is from a trusted friend who asked that people be aware of what is still happening:
This group started w/ GoFundMe, but as is happening to too many conservatives & good guys these days, were de-platformed: https://www.givesendgo.com/GX2V. Their initial results:
Preliminary Numbers:
Ballots cast by voters flagged as ‘Moved’ by NCOA (National Change of Address)
GA: 138,221; PA: 24,475
Voters marked as having requested and been mailed a ballot but not marked as having returned it: GA: 250,253; PA: 481,022
Voters who cast ballots but found to be dead in MFD based on name and full DOB match: GA: 20; PA: 20
Call centers are/will be reaching out to the first group to confirm whether they actually voted, and the second group to see if they requested the ballot and if they returned it. In-house team will check the ‘deceased’ lists for false positives.
We should have these numbers for WI, MI, NV, and AZ tomorrow. Will release as we get them.
We raised $220k on GoFundMe before we were deleted for “Prohibited Content.” None of the money was disbursed to us. This is the same platform that raises money for bail for terrorists. Help us out by 2x’ing what you gave before to help make up what we lost.
We will use the funds to acquire voter data from the seven swing states (and more depending on funding) and cross reference the early/absentee/inactive voters who cast ballots with the Master Death Index and the National Change of Address Database to detect potentially fraudulent ballots.
We will then deploy a call center to track down people who moved or were otherwise inactive and ask that they confirm whether or not they actually cast a ballot. Anyone who says they did not will be provided with an affidavit.
All of our findings will be made public.
This project is being led by Matt Braynard, former director of Data and Strategy for President Trump. Receipts, invoices, and other statements will be provided for all money raised here, and Matt Braynard will personally receive zero dollars.
There are many other instances that show some possible/probable fraud. Despite what the AP, Fox News and other news venues say, this election has many questions that need to be answered. If the votes cast for Joe Biden are legal and legitimate, then he would be the 46th President of the United States. President Donald J. Trump loves this country far too much to let it be lost in a fraudulent election and will not be responsible for a constitutional crisis. As Conrad Black says: No One Knows Who Won the Election. Chris Farrell writes in Gatestone Institute: The Election is Not Over.
There have been 256,584 votes cast on the Conservative Party line as of this writing with 1.3 million votes left to be counted. We have far surpassed the number needed to remain a political party. In fact, we are potentially headed towards record breaking numbers on our party line.
The party has worked hard the last two years to prove our worth and staying power. We are once again playing a major role in the election and re-election of candidates from Long Island, to the North Country and over to the Finger Lakes.
I want to thank our county chairs and their committees for all their hard work this election season. As we approach 300,000 votes for the President, we have much to be proud of.
I intend to keep us moving full steam ahead and continuing to play a major part in electing conservative minded candidates across New York State.
Presidential Election
The President and his legal team have begun to challenge the results in a handful of states where nefarious actions seem to be taking place.
We have heard individual accounts of irregularities in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia that are concerning. As the proper authorities investigate and look into allegations it is important that our process remain transparent.
It is unconscionable to me that Republican poll monitors in Pennsylvania have not been granted access to polling sites to oversee the voting process and counting. This is, at the very least, an abuse of power and unlawful. What’s going on in these poll sites that they don’t want Republicans to see? Who knows, but the state parties and Trump campaign are taking the proper steps to make sure all legal votes are counted.
The situation is fluid and changing by the hour. We may not know the results for a few more days, but we must demand a clean and fair election process.
There is still a path to re-election for the President and it is imperative, no matter who the winner ultimately is, that we get to the bottom of fraud allegations to ensure the will of the people is done.
Congressional Races
New York Conservative/Republicans had a good night as two seats were flipped by two incredible female candidates, a trend we saw nationally.
Nicole Malliotakis flipped New York’s 11th district, while Claudia Tenney flipped the 22nd districts in dramatic fashion. Both races were considered “toss ups” nationally.
Additionally, Andrew Garbarino held the seat of the retiring Peter King and we kept every other Conservative/Republican seat in the state.
I want to congratulate Lee Zeldin, Elise Stefanik, Tom Reed, Chris Jacobs, and John Katko on their wins. We have an incredibly hardworking slate of Representatives and we’re excited to be adding three great new members in Malliotakis, Garbarino, and Tenney.
I also want to congratulate Chele Farley in the 18th district and George Santos in the 3rd district, and Liz Joy in the 20th district who all ran incredible races against large odds and did outstanding jobs. The Farley and Santos races will come down to the counting of paper ballots. Regardless, I look forward to seeing what’s next for them.
New York Senate and Assembly Seats
Democrats failed to win any State House across the country while losing control of two. Here in New York, that trend continued, while not at the level needed to flip the Senate, we made very meaningful gains.
We made significant movement and prevented the Democrats from gaining a super majority. As it stands, we are currently ahead in 7 races that would be flips, but we are still awaiting the absentee ballot results which will be another 4 or 5 days. I am confident that we will ultimately see gains in the State Senate.
We also made gains in the Assembly. We currently have the lead in 11 seats, but like the Senate races, we are waiting for absentee results. I am confident we will flip between 4 and 6 seats. We have continued to chip away at the Assembly Democrats super majority.
I am encouraged by these results and believe we can continue to elect more good candidates in next year’s local city, town and village races. 2022 is also right around the corner and the Presidents numbers show we can do very well in statewide races. I look forward to building on this momentum.
