Breaking News: Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio agree on an issue!

Tomorrow is Primary Day…Check you local Board of Elections to see if you should vote!

In case you missed Saturday’s NY Post editorial:  Andrew Cuomo’s big lie on nursing homes and the Post  that ends with this: “No, the real question is how many died ­because of Zucker’s order. And the point of Cuomo’s desperate lies is to stop New Yorkers from asking it.”

True to form: Gov. Cuomo ends over 100 days of coronavirus briefings with tribute to himself.

Another good opinion piece in Saturday’s NY Post:  Call them The 1619 riots, that ends appropriately with this:  “America is not systemically racist, but is a republic devoted, however imperfectly, to the truth that all men are created equal.”  (In case you are not familiar with the reference to the 1619, here is the New York Times Magazine’s The 1619 Project.)

In a reference to the NY Times inability to carry a diverse opinion in their paper,  David Harsanyi opines in today’s NY Post that “Words are violence” is an illiberal notion meant to stifle speech. Popularized by a generation of coddled college kids, it now guides the editorial pages of major newspapers.”

With colleges so far to the left and revising history perhaps the time has come to Let’s Defund Our Universities.

Stephen Eide makes a great point in his Op-Ed column: Can’t replace policing with social services that don’t do what they’re supposed to,  especially in the last sentence — “#DefundthePolice would have us hamstring a vital public service — only to swell the budgets of failed programs already gorged with taxpayer cash.”

You Can’t Learn From a History That’s Been Deleted, but that doesn’t stop the cancel culture from wanting to remove statutes from museums and public squares. More on the Museum of Natural History’s plan to remove President Roosevelt’s statute here.   Surprise, surprise!  NOT.  Cuomo, de Blasio support Natural History Museum removal of Roosevelt statue.  The panders say Roosevelt should go, but New York’s  emperor said Columbus can’t go.  Hmm, might there be a bit of prejudice from the emperor?  Apparently, what is good for the goose (Roosevelt), isn’t good for the gander (Columbus.)  BTW, we do not think either should be removed; if you don’t understand, learn, or care about history, you will be doomed to repeat it.

Congress Demands Information on Deadly New York Nursing Home Crisis

 On Tuesday, Congressional Republicans demanded New York State and Governor Cuomo hand over documents regarding the State Department of Health ordering nursing homes to admit COVID-19 positive patients.

All five Republican members of the House Select Subcommittee penned a letter asking New York State “…what science or guidance you used to make this lethal decision” that lead to thousands of deaths. Democratic members of the committee did not sign on to the request.

In response to the request Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi called the Republican lawmakers “craven political hacks” who are “apparently seeking some sort of election year boost and to misdirect attention away from the oversight committee’s investigation into the federal pandemic response.”

It should come as no surprise that the Governor’s office would release such a callous statement, while continuing to ignore the over 6,000 lives senselessly lost at the hands of an asinine directive sent down by Commissioner of the Department of Health Howard Zucker, appointed by Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Thousands and thousands of family members deserve to know what exactly the Governor was thinking when he ordered sick patients be placed amongst the most vulnerable.

The Conservative Party has, and will, remain active on this issue. Last month, we  circulated a petition asking for an independent investigation. The petition received thousands of signatures and was sent to United States Attorney General William Barr. We will hold the Governor accountable.

Twitter Gets Tough on Chinese Propaganda

Last week, Twitter deleted over 170,000 accounts directly tied to a state-run Chinese propaganda effort. The accounts were being used to spread false information about the COVID-19, and political issues in Hong Kong.

“In general, this entire network was involved in a range of manipulative and coordinated activities,” Twitter wrote in a blog post.  “They were Tweeting predominantly in Chinese languages and spreading geopolitical narratives favorable to the Communist Party of China (CCP), while continuing to push deceptive narratives about the political dynamics in Hong Kong.”

The fake accounts were used to praise China’s response to the Corona Virus and were found to have tweeted over 350,000 times before ultimately being shut down by twitter.

Twitter, often times on the wrong side of history, got this one right when they shut down the Chinese Communist Parties attempt to downplay their role in the COVID-19 cover up, as well as their efforts to eliminate the unique nature of Hong Kong as an independent free market economy.

Candidate Spotlight: Beth Parlato New York’s 27th Congressional District

A mom, attorney, judge, activist, and lifelong Conservative Republican, Beth has seen up close and personal the harm liberals have done to her home in Western New York where she has lived all her life. Now, she is running to represent NY27 and fighting back against those who want to deny our freedoms and glorify a socialist America.

Tired of seeing Judeo Christian values mocked, drugs, dangerous illegal immigrants flow through our broken borders, protected late term abortion, and schools teaching what’s politically correct instead of the truth, Beth will be a doer Washington D.C. desperately needs.

The State Conservative Party is proud to have endorsed Beth Parlato in NY27.

State Chairman, Gerard Kassar, Congratulates Robert G. Ortt on his Election to NYS Senate Minority Leader

Brooklyn, NY — “Congratulations to Senator Robert G. Ortt on his election as the new Republican leader of the NYS Senate by his fellow colleagues today.  Rest assured Senator, the Conservative Party of New York State, will be working hard throughout this election season to change your title to Majority Leader of the NYS Senate.

Your constituents have benefited from your strong voice.  Now all New Yorkers will gain from your leadership no doubt acquired from your honored military service. I am confident your private sector and governmental experience will be welcomed by all New Yorkers as we deal with a state plagued with a multitude of problems.

Senator Rob Ortt has been consistent in scoring well in our ratings.  His 2019 rating was 100%, along with Sen. Jordan and Sen. O’Mara, as well as being the highest rated Senator in 2018 with an 85% rating.

I look forward to working together on the issues that affect all New Yorkers now and in the coming years.”

Five political cowards and four constitutionalists.

The news from the US Supreme Court was another disappointment to those of us who respect the rule of law, even though they did not rule on the legality of DACA itself.  National Review explains the decision here:  SCOTUS Blocks Trump’s Attempt to End DACA.  “In dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas, joined Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, wrote that DACA was illegal from its inception (emphasis added by cpnys.)  Justice Brett Kavanaugh also explains his dissent in the linked article.   Most everyone has sympathy for children who had no control over their lives when brought here illegally by their parents, however, executive orders are not how to resolve the issue.  Congress is still charged with writing the laws of our great nation.

Can’t help but wonder if this will end up in the US Supreme Court also:  Trump-Administration Rule Would Undo Obama Policy Allowing Biological Males into Women’s Shelters

Another very disappointing decision was made by the Quaker Oats Company when it announced that they are “retiring” their Aunt Jemima brand because it is ‘based on a racial stereotype.’  Cowards.  They obviously do not know who Aunt Jemima came to be the face of their pancake mix and syrup.  It is a great tribute to a woman who was born a slave and rose to fame and fortune.  Let me mimic Paul Harvey for a moment with here is the rest of the story.  (Perhaps all the modern-day athletes, who enjoy the fruits of branding, should be thanking Nancy Green…and tell Quaker Oats they are kowtowing to those who are ignorant of history.)  Fortunately for all of us, Sherrie Williams, was diligent in letting is know the rest of the story.

Another knee-jerk reaction by an elected official…he certainly deserves the egg on her face.  By the way, Schaaf won the November 4, 2014 Oakland mayoral election in the 14th round in ranked choice voting with 62.79% of the vote.  NYC, this is your future since you voted for rank choice elections.

Unfortunately, this may be New York’s future if it remains under complete democratic control:  Taxes, taxes, and more taxes. Lawmakers Want to Tax the Rich to Fix Pandemic Battered Economy  and  Legislators Unite for People-Centered Recovery.

Between the above and this, it truly is time to sound the alarm that every elected official must be strong and say enough is enough…we cannot sustain the spending levels that everyone seems to be powerless to say no to.

“Criminals sense weakness and exploit it.”

Every family of a person who died in a nursing home deserves answers…and justice.

If they only knew the real Gov.

It is important to know that this judge – Springing a cop-attacking looter: one judge’s new low – was appointed, not elected, to the bench by Mayor DeBlasio.  And, if my math is close, she is approximately 66 years old (graduating from Brandeis University in 1976) which means this ultra-liberal judge has a minimum of 4 years to continue to use her “judicial discretion” to not remand the worst of the worst.

Gov. Cuomo says law abiding citizens may have to stay in their homes if COVID-19 numbers start to increase and that tracers are needed to keep us safe.  But, NYC contact tracers  are not permitted to ask sick patients if they attended a George Floyd protest.  When did New York become the state that rewards the bad while punishing those who follow the rules?  (Hint:  when democrats took control.)

Continued Calls for Independent Investigation Into NY Nursing Home Crisis

This week the Conservative Party formally called on the United States Attorney General William Barr to launch an independent investigation into why New York State has suffered over 6000 nursing home deaths attributed to COVID-19.

The Governor, under pressure from families, the media, elected officials, and political leadership, acknowledged the problem by calling for the NYS Department of Health and the State Attorney General to investigate. The Conservative Party takes exception with the State investigating itself. We firmly believe that both the NYS Attorney General and the Commissioner of Health are political functionaries lacking the ability to act independently particularly when the Governor’s actions are a likely target of any investigation.”

The Conservative Party was an early proponent of an independent federal investigation, launching an on-line petition that almost 2000 people signed and a social media campaign that received over 35,000 interactions supporting a federal investigation into this horrific crisis in our nursing homes.

We will continue to demand action and answers as to why thousands of New Yorker’s were put directly into harm’s way at the order of the Governors Department of Health.

New York City Council Begins Steps to Defund NYPD

Not long ago, the New York City Council was in support of pay raises for the men and women of the NYPD. Fast forward a few months, and those same council members are working to defund that same police department.

41 City Council members signed a letter in support of pay raises which was sent to lame duck Mayor Bill de Blasio just months ago. Now, the Mayor vows to cut funding to the officers who ran toward danger on September 11, 2001, and the December 11, 2017 attempted bombing of the Port Authority.

In May, the Working Families Party and Communities United for Police Reform, called for New York City to redirect NYPD funds to other city social service programs. City Council member, and Panderer in Chief, Brad Lander, proposed a NYPD hiring freeze, while Council member Donovan Richards, head of public safety, called for $55 million in cuts solely to the cadet program and overtime.

City Council Speaker Johnson favors cutting the $6 billion NYPD budget and decreasing officers involvement in NYC schools. Members of the council have proposed cuts between 5 and 15 percent, which would gut the department anywhere between $300 million and $1 billion, changing the NYPD and all the good they do as we know it.

A defunding of the NYPD will certainly come with major consequences. As of this writing, murder is up 25.4%, shooting victims are up 22.1%, shooting incidents are up 22.2%, and burglary is up 47% according to the city’s CompStat crime tracking website.

The department is also prepping itself for a dramatic increase in the number of retirements, and officers prepared to move on to different careers, due to the lack of support from the Mayor’s office and City Council. There have already been 800 disheartened officers who have filed retirement applications or made appointments to discuss retirement within the last month.

Not long ago, New York City was amongst the most dangerous cities in America. In 1990, during the Dinkins administration, 2,245 people were murdered. Mayor Giuliani was elected in 1993, and by 1995 those numbers were cut in half. In Giuliani’s final year as Mayor in 2001, the city had become one of the safest places to visit in the world.

It is my fear that reducing the NYPD’s funding and man power, there will be a significant spike in violent crimes that plagued the city in the 1980’s and 1990’s.

 Candidate Spotlight Andrew Garbarino NY2

Representing the South Shore of Long Island in the New York State Assembly since 2013, Andrew has been fighting Governor Cuomo’s liberal machine that wants to raise taxes, and move more control of our business and personal lives to Albany. He has fought Cuomo’s so-called “bail reform” scheme that allows MS-13 members to walk free, and stood up to his crazy idea of giving drivers’ licenses to illegal immigrants.

Andrew has hosted a task force on the heroin and opioids epidemic, listening to those fighting disease and addiction, and helping to provide them with care and support. Additionally, he has always fought for veterans across New York State restoring $6 million in funding for veteran programming.

Hypocrisy, thou hast so many names; Andrew, Nancy, Joe…

C. Douglas Love’s book —We Want EQUALITY – How the Fight for Equality Gave Way to Preference – was released almost two years ago and at the recommendation of a friend (Thank you, Jameson) I just ordered it. I’m contemplating purchasing another copy to send to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, however, I know it would be a waste of money to send it to her, Al Sharpton wouldn’t read it either. Unfortunately, all those who should be reading it are pandering snowflakes incapable of hearing the truth.

Speaking of pandering people (Speaker Pelosi) one has to wonder why the Speaker and many others wear the Kente Cloth scarves in tribute to African Americans.  Do they know that Kente cloth originated with the Ashanti in West Africa (now Ghana and Cote d’ivoire) and that the Ashanti tribe was the largest slave trader in Africa.  So, the same people who want to destroy every Confederate statute, flag, and symbol of slavery in America, promote scarves from the Ashanti tribe.  Hypocrisy or the result of not being a student of history?

This young gentleman on Instagram makes sense.  Thank you, Joel Patrick.

Would someone please explain to me how this helps?  ‘Black Lives Matter’ painted near Andrew Cuomo’s office in Albany.  It isn’t only Albany; this is happening all over.  Shouldn’t the taxpayer’s money being used be put to better uses?  Maybe it isn’t taxpayers’ money, maybe it is donations by all the Hollywood stars telling us how to live.

Another how does this help: Dr. Birx Says George Floyd Protests Have Resulted in the Destruction of 70 Covid-19 Testing Sites.

Don’t go to work, don’t go to church, and don’t gather, unless the government approves

The Governor’s daily COVID-19 pressers have evolved into a purely political platform for the Emperor of New York.  It is totally about his blowing his own horn; he speaks and we are supposed to thank him for being our savior.  Gov. Cuomo has staff to provide him the “facts” and he makes the decision who can begin to live a normal life again.  Hopefully these daily pressers are coming to an end; certainly, my watching them is.  (I’m not paid combat pay, lol)

Governor Cuomo’s Achilles’ Heel

Defunding the NYPD is madness after the thousands of black lives they have saved.

Public-health ‘professionals’ keep showing how unprofessional they really are.

Governor Andrew Cuomo was back on his soap box today, saying how life is unjust and we live in a system that does not give equal opportunity to all.  I thought Governor Cuomo was a little smarter that he portrays himself to be at these press conferences.  America and New York, especially, provides an equal opportunity to all; albeit, there was a time in our history that was not an accurate statement.  Today it is.  An equal opportunity is just that, an opportunity, if you work hard enough, to achieve anything you want, no matter the circumstances of your birth.  What he said today, was a tackles and hurtful statement to those who have worked their way out of the misery that were told they would be able to and they would never amount to anything.  Equal opportunity does not mean equal outcome.  Gov. Cuomo complained about the school districts in poor neighborhoods, but I don’t here him calling for Charter Schools in those neighborhoods.  Nor, has he used his bully pulpit to bring together leaders to discuss the issues creating so much turmoil in today’s society.  He has had 9 years as Governor, and his answer is a to demand that the progressive mantra is embolden and doomed to failure.  BTW, Governor, both sides have people who harbor racism, stirs racism, and create conflict.  The Golden Rule has long since been forgotten.  It would be better for all New Yorkers if you would begin to practice the Golden Rule instead of creating more conflict using your soap box to say you are above the fray.  You stress the decades that have led to this; if you were sincere and honest, you would have rendered a positive influence long before now. The only thing you said today that was honest was that “they’ll say (meaning politicians) whatever they have to say to win an election.”  You would know, wouldn’t you:  Andrew Cuomo, Not Running for Governor, Talks to Conservatives

Over the weekend, the Emperor decided that 25% of religious congregations can now attend services.  Governor, how does the religious organization decide which 25%?  Shameful; especially when so many people really want to go back to church.  Websites are good, but sharing with neighbors and friends in a real church setting, is what people want.

DEMOCRATIC CONTROLLED LEGISLATURE MOVES  HARD LEFT ON PUBLIC SAFETY BILLS

 BROOKLYN, NY – The Democratic controlled NYS Legislature under the guise of a law enforcement focused session calendar brought to the floor for passage several notable anti-policing bills that endangers the residents of New York which the Conservative Party opposes.   There are two bills especially egregious and the party issued memos in opposition to S.8596/A10611  to repeal Civil Rights Law, Section 50-a and A.6144-B /S.6670-B which criminalizes police use of a choke hold in all circumstances.

In a statement Conservative Party State Chairman Jerry Kassar said, “If the Members of the Legislature adopt the bills being considered today, these two bills, as well as requiring a law enforcement officer or peace officer who discharges his or her weapon under circumstances where a person could be struck by a bullet to immediately report the incident,  changing Gov. Cuomo’s Executive Order of creating an office of special investigation within the office of the attorney general into law, that are designed to restrain law enforcement agents from properly performing their oath of office, they are giving groups like Antifa free reign in the havoc Antifa is seeking to create.

Peaceful protests are part of our history; anarchy is not.  Police protect peaceful protests; police have a moral obligation to stop those who support the anarchy taking place in New York streets.  If the democrat-controlled legislature continues the path they created last year when the criminal justice reforms passed in the budget, they will be aiding and abetting the anarchist determined to destroy the hope that brought millions to our state through Liberty Island in New York’s harbor.
