Jarrett Stepman, writes a compelling article in the Daily Signal that explains how imperative it is that Americans understand that America is standing on a precipice trying to decide if the Founding Fathers were heroes or villains.  Far too many young minds have been influenced by those who see America’s Founding Fathers as villains and those of us who see them has heroes and still believe in the American Dream are unaware of how much damage has been done over the last 20 or so years.  The NY Times 1619 Project is masquerading as truth and demanding to be the recognized as America’s true history.  What we are seeing now, throughout our country, is not about to end due to zealous beliefs our younger generation have been inoculated with.  We have said it before, this November election for President, Congress and state Legislatures’ is for the future.  Will America continue to be the beacon of freedom throughout the world or will it become another monumental failure based on the assumption that the 1619 Project is based on truth?   Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her ever expanding squad, including Joe Biden, is counting on the latter.

What planet is Congressman Nadler living on?

First the Emperor told us he didn’t have to self-quarantine upon his return from his trip to Georgia (to explain how to cope with COVID-19) now we learn that the Emperor, who has mandated that every person in NYS wears a mask when they cannot maintain the proper 6 foot distancing, didn’t wear a mask while hugging the Savannah, GA mayor.  So typical of our “do as I say; not as I do” Emperor/Governor.

Governor Cuomo continues to wield his power by fast-tracking appointments to the New York State Financial Control Board.

Cuomo: Next Two Weeks Will Determine State Budget Cuts.  It won’t only be cuts; taxes will rise.  As anyone who has returned to getting their hair cut or nails done, the prices these small businesses charge for their services have had nominal increases to make up for the loss of income.  Food costs have risen as well as various other items.  Brace yourselves; life is about to become more expensive for all of us.

Intellectual Takeout reprinted Ryan McMaken’s article for Mises Institute, titled, Using Statistics to Get Your Way in Politics.  It is an interesting article in that it points out how certain statistics are being used to gain power by politicians…our Governor being one who did so masterfully.

Any doubt?  More states, others added to New York coronavirus quarantine list.  But, he does make an exception for sports;  Cuomo invites all MLB teams to play in New York state amid COVID-19 issues.

The Lincoln Project is just another way for hacks to milk (liberal) donors.

I have listened and watch a fair amount of Congressional Hearings, today’s, Chaired by Congressman Jerold Nadler, is disgraceful, rude, and unbecoming.  When did the members of the majority decide to act like a group of college kids enjoying too many drinks on a Saturday night; they wouldn’t let anyone outside their group say a word, limits each other to questions that only require a yes or no answer, and tell them they are intruding on their time? There was not one scintilla of respect of the United States Attorney General William Barr. Here is a quick assessment by Guy Benson:  ‘Shame on You:’ House Democrats’ Idiotic Hearing With Attorney General Barr.

Isn’t it amazing that so many on the left decry the use of large sums of money in politics, except when it is George Soros giving it out to them?

The Atlantic, not known for a conservative view point, warns voters that the first large scale test of mail-in voting in the pandemic has left one in five New Yorkers with their votes tossed out.  “New York is a solidly Democratic state, with a Democratic governor, and all the officials who matter said they were committed to expanding voting by mail and other options. And it was a disaster (emphasis added by cpnys).” One has to give The Atlantic kudos for pointing out one of the problems with being dependent on mail-in (absentee voting), but it fails to note the strong possibility of fraud, which is the bigger problem.  While credit is given to The Atlantic, it is still written from a democratic point of view by never mentioning the probability of a true election disaster (fraud) with government’s encouraging absentee voting.

The WSJ (subscription required)  writes that New York Lawmakers Work to Avoid Problems With Absentee Ballots.    With democrats having complete control of the legislature, any proposal put forward by them, would not address the real concerns of absentee voting, those being fraud.   The article notes “… thousands of ballots have been invalidated because they weren’t postmarked by June 23 or the voter didn’t sign the back of the envelope.” Both solid reasons for invalidating the absentee ballots which is necessary to maintain a semblance of honesty.  Remember they passed automatic voter registration for those who use state agencies without confirming they are a New York citizen.  According to this WSJ article, Election Officials Are Vulnerable to Email Attacks, Report Shows, emailing is also vulnerable. New York isn’t the only state with problems:  New Jersey’s All-Mail Vote Debacle Is a Warning for November.  Let’s all resolve to vote the old-fashioned way:  In person on November 3^rd.

One more WSJ article, What Else Cuomo Crushed, which points out that NY’s economy has suffered the worst job losses in the Northeast.  (It seems that the Emperor has a new nemesis to blame for his failures.)

Cuomo blames NY Post for rising COVID-19 rates in Florida and Arizona.  The rates of infections are rising; New York currently has 416K total cases with 32,506 deaths, Florida has 424K with 5,853 deaths.  Why do you leave that fact out, Governor?  Far too many people have died from COVID-19, but, making it political Governor Cuomo, is immature and trying to deflect the horrendous number of deaths in New York’s nursing homes.  It appears that the Emperor has a new villain to blame:  Cuomo Blames Fed ‘Trusted Traveler’ Ban For Early COVID-19 Spread In NY.

How is the Emperor going to explain or blame someone for this?  Cuomo’s coronavirus-only hospital became deadly amid shortages of meds, PPE: insiders.

Today’s NY Post editorial chides the Emperor with their pithy editorial that ends with this, “We’re fine paying the rent. We’re fine being the whipping boy for Cuomo’s passing the buck on nursing-home deaths. Because if we’re annoying him that much, it means one thing — he knows we’re right.”  Yes, he does, so do we.

Sunday evening, Mark Levin, had one of the best reasons to reject Joe Biden’s bid to replace Donald J. Trump.  His only guest was Stanley Kurtz and it was a compelling hour of television. Here is a short clip.  As of now, I have not been able to find the full show for you, but I will continue to search for it.  I encourage all of you to do the same.  We who live in New York are familiar with the Obama Administration’s attempt to change Westchester County.  Thankfully. Westchester County fought the good fight and Secretary Ben Carson, along with President Trump, resolved the contentious 2009 court ordered settlement to meet fair housing requirements in 2017.  The democrats have not, nor will they ever change their desire to fundamentally change America; they are currently winning and will continue to do so if we do not fight for what we believe in:  The American Dream; the dream that has empowered those willing to work for it, it has lifted countries out of poverty and lets freedom ring throughout the world.  Pay attention, get involved.

President Trump Warns Bill de Blasio to Get Control of Crime in NYC

 President Trump made it loud and clear to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio this week; get control of the crime wave, or he will, as he said he would not hesitate to send federal law enforcement officers to restore law and order back to the city.

New York City has seen a dramatic increase in shootings, shooting victims, and murder since the disbanding of the plain clothed anti-crime unit just over a month ago.

The Mayor responded to the President by threatening to sue the federal government if additional law enforcement was indeed sent to NYC. However, in a clear attempt to make it seem as if he is in control, Mayor de Blasio ordered the removal of Occupy City Hall protestors that have been camping out in City Hall Park for the last month, defacing and degrading city municipal buildings in lower Manhattan.

The move was made only after President Trump threatened to intervene, making it clear de Blasio believes the President will step in and do the Mayors job for him.

State Senate GOP attempts to Rescind Governor’s Emergency Powers

New York State Democrats voted down the Republican conferences amendment to rescind Governor Cuomo’s emergency powers on Wednesday making it clear they have no interest in carrying out their duties as elected officials, nor do they care to be a part of important legislative issues unless it involves raising your taxes, late term abortion, or releasing criminals out on the street with no bail.

However, the Democratic conference was able to come together on one piece of legislation; automatic voter registration.

The Conservative Party is vehemently opposed to this new law. Voting is one of the privileges a citizen in New York state has and a responsible citizen takes the time to register to vote. With the passage of this bill, New Yorkers, many who are here illegally and others who are not citizens of New York, will be automatically registered to vote just by their interaction with certain state agencies listed in the bill. The bill tout’s automatic registration as a modernization of our current registration system, and states unequivocally that this proposal will increase the efficiency of voter registration, save money, increase the accuracy of voter lists, prevent disfranchisement of eligible citizens, promote greater participation and reduce incidents of registration and voter fraud, this has not been proven in states that have adopted similar legislation.

Automatic voter registration is a ruse to dilute legitimate votes cast by citizens who want to vote; those who take the effort to register and cast their votes. Automatic voter registration does not guarantee the person is eligible to vote, as we learned when this same body enacted the Green Light Law.

One party control in Albany has, and will continue, to set New York State back as Democrats continue to prioritize all the wrong things. As crime spikes statewide and police are vilified, they could not even get behind the men and women in uniform to support a package that would protect police officers from attack.

Elections matter and they have consequences; if we cannot make strides in taking back State Senate and Congressional seats, lawlessness will ultimately prevail in New York.

Dutchess County Conservative Party Rallies to Support the Police

 This past Saturday, the Dutchess County Conservative Party organized a very successful rally in support of law enforcement. I believe these events to be critical, as it is important to show our men and women in uniform they are not alone.

New Yorker’s want to feel safe and enjoy a good quality of life. Our law enforcement work day in and day out to provide us with just that.

Thank you Don Minichino, Terri Sheehan, Phil Polizotto, and Mert Melfa for all your hard work in Dutchess.

The Emperor is at it again, changing mid-steam and making it impossible for small businesses to keep up with his ever-changing rules.  It has become very obvious that this man has never held a job in the real world, couldn’t run a business, and couldn’t keep employees due to his constant changing how things are done.  Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s new bar rules are killing NYC businesses.  One should also note it is killing the moral of owners and patrons.  How much are they expected to endure, Emperor Cuomo?

Today’s NY Post editorial that we agree with states:  With COVID-19 deaths near zero and economy on its knees, NYC must reopen wide.

Governor Cuomo admits NYC is in a state of decline, but no help is needed and no need for federal involvement.  So, Governor, you may be surprised that I see that as a semi-positive statement.  Since there is no need for federal involvement, you won’t be looking for a federal bailout to pay for all the costs associated with this crime wave and loss of revenue from the closing of New York.  New York must be doing better financially or are you counting on that pot-of-gold at the end of a rainbow?  Knowing how the legislature thinks, it may just be relying on the pot.  (I pray they won’t slip this into law as they scramble to end this very strange session.)  No matter how you look at it, New York is broke and looking for ways to recover monies lost to COVID-19.  Senate Minority Leader, Rob Ortt, writes this in today’s NY Post:  NY Democrats’ insane bid to bleed wealthy — when they’re already fleeing state.

We find it rather amusing that failed presidential candidate, Beto O’Rourke, took time from his skateboarding, and said that Texas desperately needs a Governor like Andrew Cuomo, “someone who’s going to be guided by the facts and the science and the truth, and whose sole mission is going to be saving the lives of those that he is elected to serve.”  He obviously missed all the articles on the mishandling of COVID-19 patients sent to nursing homes.  And he obviously doesn’t understand math; New York’s population 19.4 million, 32,228 deaths.  Texas’ population 29.9 million, 4,522 deaths.  Hey Beto, New York would welcome Governor Abbott, but, now that we have informed you of the real Governor Cuomo record, do you still think Texas would be better with Governor Andrew Cuomo?  You two boys would have so much in common; he’s yours if you want him, you can skateboard and he will drive his muscle cars in the wide-open spaces of Texas.  And we would have a responsible governor who knows how to govern.

New York is digging a financial hole that may take years to recover from.  NY suspends licenses of four bars, including one on LI, and adds 10 states to quarantine list, Cuomo says.  Governor Cuomo is seriously doing more harm to New York than anyone thought possible.  It is time that Governor pays attention to the science of the virus; he is overreacting to his initial deadly mistake of forcing nursing homes to admit/readmit COVID-19 positive patients.  What he is doing now does not mitigate his earlier judgement, in fact, it is obvious that New York’s death rate – what he fears most will inch up again – is due to his mishandling the COVID-19 crisis.  It is also a problem that most of the main stream media fails to recognize that fact.  For the governor to say follow the facts and science on a regular basis, he fails to follow his own advice; but that is nothing new to those of us who have followed his career.

Chicago says no to President Trump’s offer to help; Portland condemns federal troops being there, Cuomo sits in front of a photo in the daily news telling cops to do their jobs, yet all three cities have made it possible for lawlessness to survive.  Those of us who are still proud Americans want this to end.  President Trump, we have your back.  It is really a shame that progressive only have their lust for power driving them and they ignore, not they completely try to discredit what President Trump is doing for all Americans who want the opportunity to live the American Dream.

The Hill has this article, Quarantines for out-of-state visitors exceeds governors’ emergency authority, dated July 14, 2020.  We happen to agree that this exceeds the emergency authority of the tri-state governors, and today, upon learning that Governor Andrew Cuomo is going to Georgia (one of the states on the quarantine list) we can’t help but wonder, if he will follow his own advice and self-quarantine upon his return?  Or is the Emperor above the rules he makes for others?

In all honesty, crime is out of control in New York, Chicago, Portland and far too many other places.  The wild west was nothing compared to what is going on today.  Pray that America and Americans find their way…soon, very soon.

De Blasio Signs Police Reform Into Law

 Anti NYPD and pro criminal Mayor Bill de Blasio signed a package of police reform bills into law earlier this week as violent crimes continue to skyrocket within his city.

The Mayor used the painting of a Black Lives Matter mural as the backdrop to his signing ceremony, pandering to radical far left voters whose only goal is to abolish the police force. Overnight Tuesday and into Wednesday, just hours before de Blasio further handcuffed the NYPD, at least 11 people were shot city wide.

Amongst the most controversial was the outlawing of chokeholds by the NYPD which Chief of Department Terrence Monahan labeled as “insane.”

New York State Troopers President Thomas Mungeer didn’t take too kindly to the Mayors decision to make the job of a police officer more dangerous and called for the immediate withdrawal of State troopers from New York City.

“This poorly conceived bill, which will be signed into law by Mayor de Blasio today, puts an undue burden upon our troopers; it opens them up to criminal and civil liability for restraining a person during a lawful arrest in a manner that is consistent with their training and is legal throughout the rest of the state,” Mungeer said.

While the Mayor kowtowed to the likes of Black Lives Matter and Antifa, I joined thousands of Church members, clergy, law enforcement, community activists and concerned citizens in a peaceful march from Brooklyn to City Hall in support of ending the violence and supporting law and order, and quality of life within New York City and throughout New York State.

Unfortunately, a truly peaceful gathering amongst a very diverse group of concerned New Yorker’s was violent; attacked by counter protestors who injured at least 4 police officers, including a blindsided attack on Chief Monahan.

As Congressman Lee Zeldin pointed out last week, the city is in dire need of real leadership and while Mayor de Blasio is out doing arts and crafts in the streets, law abiding residents are watching the destruction of New York City little by little, with no action from City Hall other than to villainize the men and women of the NYPD.

Joe Biden looking to Bernie Sanders for Advice on Raising Taxes

 Joe Biden has made it very clear, the Trump tax cuts will be a thing of the past under his presidency, instead he will be looking to add more regulations, higher taxes and adopt the Green New Deal, all of which will cripple the strongest economy this country has ever seen.

“If you elect me, your taxes are going to be raised” Biden gleefully proclaimed at a rally in South Carolina. A repeal of the Trump Administrations Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will result in a $2,000 annual tax increase on a median income family of four, along with a $1,300 annual tax increase on a median income single parent with one child.

Even CNN’s Jake Tapper couldn’t buy the nonsense coming from Biden who claimed Americans weren’t benefiting from the tax cuts, stating “In fact, estimates from both sides of the political spectrum show that the majority of people in the United States of America did receive a tax cut.”

There are many reasons to be concerned with Joe Biden, whether it be his controversial voting record as a career politician, his physical health, or his silence on the devastating affects anti police rhetoric is having on inner city communities, one thing is for certain; our economy will suffer. There will be no rebound in a Biden White House.

President Trump built the strongest economy this country has ever seen, a global pandemic slowed and nearly crippled that work, but he has brought it back and will continue to bring it back even stronger.

THIS LOCAL BAR FOUND A BRILLIANT WAY AROUND ANDREW CUOMO’S LATEST TYRANICAL COVID RESTRICTION 

AOC urges Cuomo to support wealth tax on New York billionaires

Mayor de Blasio says NYC is ‘safer’ and ‘better’ since releasing inmates, ignores skyrocketing crime rate

De Blasio says he has ‘no respect’ for NYPD union leadership

Trump says Biden would ‘abolish the suburbs’ and replace it with ‘socialist nightmare’

This headline is spot on:  With Joe Biden in charge of law enforcement, there will hardly be any.

AOC Gets Caught Gaslighting About New York’s Rising Violent Crime.   (I admit, I am a dinosaur when it comes to slang, so I had to ask Siri what does gaslighting mean.  According to Siri, gaslighting as a verb is a tactic in which a person or entity, in order to gain more power, makes a victim question their reality, in other words, they deny the other persons point of view and tries to make them think it is not true.)  How typical is that of AOC who believes she is smarter than anyone.  It really is so unbecoming of a member of Congress, and a huge disservice to her constituents who will ultimately be the ones hurt by AOC’s power grab.

How Is the Left of the ’60s Different from the Left of Today?

Mr. Mayor: this is NOT leadership.

Neither is this, Mr. Mayor.  Really, the state courts should take responsibility?  You and your backers, the NYS Legislature under the “leadership” of Governor Andrew Cuomo opened this Pandora’s Box.  All of you demanded criminal justice reform…what on earth did you think would happen?  You are witnessing the results of your changes; all of you tied the hands of the state courts and now you have the audacity to blame them?  What planet are you from??  To say that you need the court system to run again…insinuating that because COVID-19 closed the system…is mind-boggling.  Even when the courts are back in business, their hands have been tied by the actions taken by those who support the deadly mistakes of the criminal justice reform supported by progressives.  Disgraceful remarks, disgraceful lack of leadership.

NYC shooting surge continues, injuring at least six people across city.

And as soon as we have the vaccine,  people will argue over getting the vaccine.  We will leave that argument to another day.   Today, however, the choice is ultimately yours to make…make it a smart choice.

Rich Lowry opines in today’s NY Post:  It’s just nuts to praise New York’s ‘success’ against coronavirus.

Emperor Cuomo must have been influenced by George Orwell’s 1984.

The NY Times became the “Old Gray Lady” in 1951  when the newspaper was “regarded by many in the world at large (and all within its own world) as the world’s greatest. And newsmen generally hail it as “old” and “gray” by way of acknowledging its traditional special marks: starch conservatism and circumspection.”  Bari Weiss slams ‘new McCarthyism’ in scathing resignation letter as a NY Times opinion editor.   The “Old Gray Lady” is no more and lost its standing as the world’s greatest a long time ago.

If former VP Joe Biden isn’t true to his religious tenets, how will he be true to the US Constitution?   Will he pick and choose the doctrines that he likes to enforce and ignore the ones he doesn’t?  These is a serious question to think about, since he touts being a Roman Catholic and supporter of the US Constitution.

Governor Cuomo, here is another organization calling for an independent investigation on the COVID-19 deaths on New York’s nursing homes.  Answers, Governor Cuomo, answers are needed, not a whitewashing  of deadly mistakes.  The Emperor definitely has no clothes on when it comes to this issue: Cuomo says his nursing home report ‘has the facts.’ Others worry it has a ‘preconceived conclusion’.  We will continue our demand for an independent investigation!

The coffers are empty, so the Governor says:  Out-of-state travelers must tell NY authorities where they came from or face fine, Cuomo says.

Really, Governor?  Isn’t it about time you acted like an adult?  Gov. Cuomo produces old-school poster glorifying coronavirus response.
