“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
What is going on in California’s education system? Calif. Teachers Won’t Notify Parents If Student Leaves School for Abortion. When will parents wake up and take back the responsibility of raising their children? What the California education system is doing is way beyond the reach of education, it is assuming the rights of parents and must be terminated immediately. California Parents: get you backbone and end this travesty before any more eradication of your family and your values takes place.
The Daily Signal has an article on how difficult it is to take back control in the education system. In fact, they lost. However, if we don’t do all we can to take back the education system, what will the results be? We are the parents, we must demand that the education system is not there to teach their definition of family values and change the family values we hold dear to our hearts.
Mayor de Blasio shows his true feelings; he “hates” charter schools. Shameful that he puts the education of children last when he panders to the union leadership of teachers.
Lawmakers call for exemptions from NYC’s controversial congestion pricing plan…just note this; the more exemptions that are granted, the higher the cost to those who are not exempted. They have to make up the money to fund the MTA’s capital needs plan and the irony is that people who, for the most part, do not use the MTA will pay the price.
Governor Cuomo, a lawyer, knows that the U S Constitution prohibits what is known as a “bill of attainder,” or a law that singles out an individual person for punishment. Yet, in his zest to please his fellow democrats, he signed a Bill that could allow lawmakers on Capitol Hill to obtain President Trump’s state tax returns, in what has been described as a “workaround” after failed efforts by House Democrats to get the president’s federal returns. While the Bill does not specifically single out President Trump, it is apparent he is the target. If, NYS tries to hand over President Trump’s NYS taxes, rest assured, this will end up in the US Supreme Court.
The Beat writes about cheap rhetoric over real reform. Poor Richard Carranza, if one really puts the students first, Richard Carranza is not the person one wants to head the NYC school system.
This should be interesting: President Trump to Hold Social Media Summit. However, it would be more interesting if both sides were present. According to article, Twitter and Facebook have not been invited. Personally, I would like to see them defend themselves.
The multinational corporation Nike hates the country that made it into one of the most iconic brands in the world. They axed their patriotic sneaker series featuring a Betsy Ross flag emblem because washed up former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick told them it was racist.
Nike now takes orders from Kaepernick, a scam artist who has made millions based off of social justice hysteria. The Betsy Ross flag contains 13 stars in a circle with 13 red and white stripes to signify the original colonies represented during the founding of the United States. It is American as apple pie, which is why the anti-American communist Kaepernick hates it so much.
Patriotic GOP Senators Josh Hawley of Missouri and Ted Cruz of Texas are expressing their disdain with Nike as a result of their pathetic decision. Arizona Governor Doug Ducey announced his state will be yanking economic incentives for the corporation. Conservatives would be wise to boycott their products as well.
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ SINKS TO NEW LOWS
Radical socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is waging an all-out war against border patrol, as she hopes to demonize our nation’s heroes who are dealing with a national emergency spiraling out of control at the U.S. Southern border that the Democrats denied existing for many weeks.
Reports indicate that Ocasio-Cortez threw a tantrum outside of a migrant detainment center in Texas, screaming “in a threatening manner” toward federal officials, and refused to tour the inside of the facility. This didn’t stop her for posing for a photo op afterward.
“I see why CBP officers were being so physically &sexually threatening towards me,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a Tweet.
“Officers were keeping women in cells w/ no water & had told them to drink out of the toilets,” she added, providing no evidence for her assertion.
Patriotic Republican Congressman Chip Roy of Texas called Ocasio-Cortez out for her dishonest demonization of border agents who work hard under tough conditions to protect the country from the Soros-funded invasion from the third world.
“I’m calling bullsh*t. And if there were one (unacceptable of course) example of an agent even suggesting such a thing, he or she would be removed,“ Roy responded to Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter.
“If there is a hint of evidence of this – please share it with me ASAP. But be specific, else stop the blatant attacks of our law enforcement overwhelmed because you and your Democrat colleagues refuse to acknowledge the crisis,” he added in a subsequent tweet.
The Democrats’ war on the rule of law, and America’s national sovereignty has reached a fever pitch. They will only get more insane and desperate, led by bimbos like AOC, heading into 2020.
NEW YORK CITY IS AMONG COUNTRY’S WORST-RUN CITIES THREE YEARS STRAIGHT
Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s unpopular leadership has turned New York City into a laughing stock, and the rest of the country is taking notice.
A study from WalletHub showed that New York City ranks among the worst-run cities in the nation for a third straight year. De Blasio’s leadership failed in terms of financial stability, education, infrastructure and pollution, health, safety and economy to put his city back on the list, as he is recognized widely as one of America’s worst mayors.
New York placed 146th out of 150 of the cities ranked on the list, which is actually an improvement from their ranking of 148 in the past two years. Perhaps de Blasio being away so much while campaigning for his pointless vanity run for the presidency is what helped the city improve its score.
Yale Law School professor David Schliecher blames de Blasio’s strict housing regulations for the city ranking so poorly.
“In many rich cities like San Francisco and New York, local governments have used their regulatory powers to make it difficult for private developers to build enough housing to meet demand,” Schliecher said.
But don’t expect de Blasio to change course, as he cannot even get out of bed promptly to appear on a television interview. New York City will remain in dire shape until he is termed out of office in 2021.
CONGRATULATIONS TO NEW REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN NICK LANGWORTHY!
The Conservative Party of New York State would like to send our warm welcome and congratulations to newly named Chairman Nick Langworthy.
We look forward to working with him in the fight against Governor Andrew Cuomo, and in the many battles ahead to retake the State Senate.
The Green New Deal is getting old to everyone but AOC and the progressive presidential candidates. The Green New Deal is government intervention where government is not needed, welcomed or required.
Bob McManus opines on the grand swindle of ‘progress’ in the city’s public schools.
Westchester residents, if you get your Christmas and Hanukkah shopping done in July, you will probable save a bundle, since Governor Cuomo agrees with Democratic County Executive George Latimer, that Westchester needs an increase in the sales tax percentage to bring it up to 8.375%. It is effective on August 1, 2019. Save money; get you shopping done now.
Jimmy Vielkind writes in the Wall Street Journal (subscription required) about the Progressive Agenda that Members of the Legislature hope to accomplish in the new legislative session. It includes, but certainly not limited to legalizing commercial gestational surrogacy, higher prevailing wages and extending to private construction projects. Chairman Kassar noted that “with Democrats in control of the entire state government, a ‘borderline socialist agenda’ could advance unchecked.” Chairman Kassar also noted that he is already recruiting candidates for the 2020 elections.
This is a very disturbing article; Judith Clark knew the Brink’s robbers were ready to kill. Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo wanted this woman released and she was just in time for Mother’s Day. It is ironic, that a woman who sent all the wrong messages to her daughter, was able to celebrate with her on Mother’s day, while Michael Paige, son of slain Brink’s Guard Peter Paige (who set the right example for Michael) hasn’t celebrate a Father’s Day since 1982 and will never be able to again. Governor Andrew Cuomo wanted her to be paroled and she was. Justice has not been equally served.
The New York City Board of Elections is now recounting votes for the Democratic primary for Queens district attorney. The race is too close to call, but the first vote count showed that radical socialist public defender Tiffany Caban won the election by 1,070 votes.
“I don’t take anything for granted. We are going to work very hard to make sure we win the election in November, as well,” Caban said to reporters.
Caban is a self-described queer Latina who was endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. According to the New York Daily News, her platform is to decriminalize sex work and end cash bail. She would also refuse to prosecute many offenses including trespassing, loitering, airport taxis, turnstile jumping, disorderly conduct, drug possession and welfare fraud.
It would be free reign for criminals in Queens, and if the vote holds up, this shows the rising power of the progressive left and who will inevitably run the country if the demographic shift is not reversed.
“Queens communities especially have shown how powerful they are,” Cabán said. “We are organizing our elected officials in line with our values.”
The recount is expected to be finished by next week.
‘WORKING MAN’ JOE BIDEN IS REALLY A CHAMPAGNE SOCIALIST
Contrary to his working man image, Biden is cashing out based on being former President Barack Obama’s right-hand man, making millions since leaving office as Vice President and spending time in lavish mansions.
“My parents taught us to live our faith and to treasure our families. We learned the dignity of work, and we were told that anyone can make it if they just try hard enough. That was America’s promise,” Biden said in 2008, a sentiment he has echoed frequently throughout the years.
“Work is more than a paycheck. It’s dignity. It’s respect. It’s about whether or not you can look your children in the eye and say: We’re going to be all right,” Biden added.
However, the substance of Biden is much different than the rhetoric. He is getting paid up to $200,000 per speech these days, enjoying chartered jets, chauffeured rides, fancy cars, luxury hotels, and other decadent amenities. His 12,000 square-foot home in McLean, Virginia includes five bedrooms, marble fireplaces, a gym, sauna, and 10 bathrooms. The Bidens have also purchased a $3 million beach house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
“Remember, I got in trouble with some of the people on my team, on the Democratic side, because I said, you know, what I’ve found is rich people are just as patriotic as poor people,” Biden said recently, as the champagne socialist is already beginning to change his tune.
It will be hard for Biden to keep his lead on his competition heading into 2020 considering how out of step he is with the radicalized Democratic Party base.
TRUMP HOLDS OFF DEPORTATION PUSH
President Donald Trump has called off his nationwide deportation push temporarily, giving the Democratic-led Congress time to come up with a workable solution.
Trump wrote in a tweet: “At the request of Democrats, I have delayed the Illegal Immigration Removal Process (Deportation) for two weeks to see if the Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border. If not, Deportations start!”
“I want to give the Democrats every last chance to quickly negotiate simple changes to Asylum and Loopholes. This will fix the Southern Border, together with the help that Mexico is now giving us. Probably won’t happen, but worth a try. Two weeks and big Deportation begins!” Trump wrote in a subsequent tweet.
Meanwhile, Democrats and their allies in the fake news media are calling Trump a “Nazi” and saying that facilities housing migrants are “concentration camps.” It does not seem like Trump will ever be able to negotiate with these people in good faith. He should get on with the deportations before the national emergency at the U.S. Southern border gets even worse.
Pelosi: ‘What’s the Point?’ of Interior Enforcement on Immigration? The Speaker of the US House of Representatives questions why interior enforcement on illegal immigration is needed…how pathetic that Ms. Pelosi ignores the loss of American lives at the hands of illegals who have no regard for our laws. Katie Steinle was killed in Ms. Pelosi’s city, yet the Speaker asked, “What’s the point?” Shameful that she doesn’t care about Katie Steinle and others who have suffered the same fate.
Guy Benson opines on Bernie’s fantasy land student loan forgiveness. The Daily Signal has some realistic suggestions as to what can be done to lower college costs.
Today’s NY Post editorial also notes how lucky New Yorkers are that Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis and Assemblyman Colin Schmitt caught the “error” (I’m still cynical) in the motor voter bill the Democrats tried to ram through (it did pass in the Senate) in the closing hours of the legislative session. Kudos to Schmitt and Malliotakis, jeers to the Democrats who voted for the bill.
In case you missed this: Cuomo had this to say late Friday: GOP will hammer us for illegal immigrants driver’s license law. Governor, the Conservative Party will also! What you and the democratic controlled legislature did by giving illegal immigrants a driver’s license – against the wished of the majority of New Yorkers’ was a blatant slap in the face, thumb in our eye to all of us who respect and obey laws. It is mindboggling that those who write the laws for citizens and illegals to follow, just rewarded illegals for breaking our laws by giving them driver’s licenses which gives illegal immigrants and enormous piece of the freedom that citizens enjoy.
Read it and weep: ‘Moderate’ Democrats just gave New York a host of disastrous new laws. The last paragraph reads: For all its flaws, a Republican-run Senate stopped the worst lefty lunacy. Suburban Democrats had the power to do that this year, with their constituents’ support. That they instead caved to the radicals gives the GOP a serious chance for a comeback. We warned you last year; now please get on board now, to take back New York. The Governor is already planning next year’s debacle and he has 6 months to plan more devastating ideas as he follows the presidential race.
Maureen Callahan writes about Mark Zuckerberg’s quest for Facebook’s own branded global cryptocurrency. It is quite interesting, not sure I agree with Sen. Warrens’ call to break up Facebook, but none the less, well worth reading the article.
We need some good news and here it is: John Gizzi writes a great article in Newsmax on our tribute dinner for Chairman Emeritus Michael R. Long and the only person to ever become a US Senator running on only the Conservative Party line. Two great conservative men who have brought honor and integrity to the NYS Conservative Party as did Chairman Kieran Mahoney, Chairman J. Daniel Mahoney, Chairman Serphin R. Maltese; our current Chairman Gerard Kassar is cut from the same cloth and will also follow their leadership and integrity.
“It is clear now that [the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act] is not going to pass this session,” said Democratic state Sen. Liz Krueger (D), who was the sponsor of the legislation.
Cuomo is a major proponent of legalization, and hoped it would be included in this year’s state budget, but those efforts failed. The Conservative Party, who has been fighting to keep a strong prohibition against marijuana in place is celebrating a victory as a result of this news along with SAM who joined our New York fight this year.
“The predatory pot industry wanted legislators to believe that this was simple,” said Kevin Sabet, who heads the anti-legalization group Smart Approaches to Marijuana. “The industry told people it would rain money for a host of pet projects, that our young people wouldn’t be at risk and drugged driving concerns were overblown. Thankfully, New York’s parents, doctors, law enforcement, teachers and many lawmakers didn’t fall for the con.”
But the pot smokers are down but not out, as Krueger notes they will be back during the next legislative session to try their same scheme once again.
“This is not the end of the road, it is only a delay. Unfortunately, that delay means countless more New Yorkers will have their lives up-ended by unnecessary and racially disparate enforcement measures before we inevitably legalize,” Krueger said.
The “Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act” passed the Assembly by a 104-35 margin and passed the Senate by a 41-21 margin. Gov. Cuomo intends to sign the legislation into law, and far-left environmentalist groups are crowing as a result.
“New York has now legally committed itself to the strongest climate and clean energy goals of any U.S. state,” said Peter Iwanowicz, executive director of Environmental Advocates of New York. “This will spur innovation, create green jobs, and make New York a true global climate leader.”
In actuality, the legislation forces the state to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 85 percent over the next three decades. It will also mandate that 70 percent of New York’s electricity come from renewable sources within a decade.
“Even if you put wind turbines on every square mile of land in the state, you would not come close to meeting the state’s existing demand for electricity,” Manhattan Institute adjunct fellow Jonathan Lesser said. “And you would need to cover most of the state with solar panels.”
“Nothing New York does on its own will have any measurable impact on world climate,” Lesser added. “Nor, if this bill is signed into law, will developing nations suddenly say ‘Gee, New York passed a climate law. Let’s wreck our economies, too, to save the planet.’”
“Since the very first day I walked through the doors of the White House, I have never forgotten who sent me there,” Trump said to a packed house at his first official campaign rally for 2020. “You did.”
“It turned out to be more than just a political campaign, it turned out to be a great political movement because of you,” he added. “A great movement.”
Trump hammered the deep state conspiracy against him to undermine his ‘America First’ agenda during his speech.
“Our patriotic movement has been under assault from the very first day,” Trump said.
“It was all an illegal attempt to overturn the results of the election, spied on our campaign, which is what they did, and subvert our democracy,” he said.
Despite the progress he has made as President to bring jobs and honor back to the United States, Trump made clear that his mission to drain the swamp is far from over.
“The people trying to stop our movement are the same Washington insiders who spend their careers rigging the system so your losses will be their gains,” he said. “You know that.”
He made clear that stakes are high, and that support for him in 2020 is crucial to keep the radical Democrats at bay while they wage war against the Bill of Rights and Constitution.
“No matter what label they give, a vote for any Democrat in 2020 is a vote for the rise of radical socialism and destruction of the American Dream,” Trump said. “Don’t ever forget, this election is about you. It’s about your family, your future, and the fate of your country.”
Again, the democratic controlled state, is dreaming the impossible dream. Previous standards have not been met, yet, this bill, that caters to the AOC’s of the world, thinks it will be able to end fossil fuels.
In their haste to become progressive, the democratic majority is not thinking issues through. Here is another example of proposed legislation that will accomplish the opposite of what the intent should be: A rush to regulate PBM’s.
Was the reason that recreational marijuana apparently failed due to the fact that the leaders could not decide how the tax revenues would be distributed? Seriously? As we have noted many times, there is an opioid and drug crisis in New York (and the rest of the nation) and legislators are more concerned about distributing tax revenue than the health and welfare of their constituents. Truly, their priorities are up-side-down and detrimental to New Yorkers!! (Be prepared, the legislative session is not over yet, so the horse-trading goes on and recreational marijuana could still pass, especially when you read the Tom Precious article and become aware of all the Plan B’s that are being considered.)
Google will tell you that AOC graduated from Boston University Cum Laude. If BU graduated AOC with a Cum Laude degree, a word of advice to parents considering Boston University: Rethink your decision to send your child there. Congresswoman Ocasio- Cortez continues to insult the intelligence of New Yorkers, and still insists that America has in the past and presently forced people into concentration camps. Maybe she just cut the important classes and it really isn’t Boston University fault she is blind to the truth. Strange that ACO doesn’t have a bio posted on her congressional website. Keep up the pressure, Bill Hemmer, AOC must apologize, not only to those whose families were condemned to death in the concentration camps, but also to all Americans who gave their lives and saved the world from the atrocities of the Nazi regime.
Those who serve in the NYS Legislature, take an oath to uphold our constitution. They accept the responsibility to write laws that they expect people to abide by. Yesterday, when they deliberately passed a bill that rewards people who are known to have NO respect for the laws that govern New Yorkers, they broke their oath and made a mockery of law-abiding citizens. When the Governor signed said bill, he also broke his oath and sanctioned law breaking in New York state. Why obey any laws now? The elected officials who voted to give illegal immigrants a NYS driver’s license, do not belong in the NYS Legislature. Governor Cuomo, who played the issue like a Stradivarius, signed the end of his political career when he signed the most flagrant disregard of the law that was passed to keep New Yorkers safe after the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001. We will not forget.
Abortion until the baby takes their first breath, no bail, hard core felons released from prison, rent control that will drive landlords to poverty, driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants and now, New Yorker’s can look forward to higher food prices. Who is going to continue to live in a state where their government has no respect for them? If our good citizens do not make their voices heard, it will not take long before New York is similar to a third world country. Take a look at California.
