In case you still do not believe the main stream media is in the Clinton’s pocket, read this.  Maybe that is why most of the main stream media are not covering articles like thisOr this oneOne more.  If, and it remains a big IF, Hillary survives and becomes the most corrupt president ever elected, she will have to face this.  

Here is another reason to make sure Hillary is not elected.  Imagine what will happen when Antonio Guterres, a socialist whom President Barack Obama called a man of “character, vision, and skills” become UN Secretary-General in January.  We will need a strong leader, not one who is looking to take in more refugees.

Weekly Wrap-Up

Hillary has some chutzpah ripping Donald Trump for raising the alarm about voter fraud – she has a history of questioning elections that didn’t go her way. 

But that’s just the Obama/Clinton Banana Republic in all its corruption and dishonest – and if we let Hillary win, we’ll have more of the same. 

Imagine Hillary in charge of the IRS, or unhindered as she imposes the billionaire left’s radical vision of open borders. Remember Hillary’s corruption, and think how bad it will be if she is in the White House serving as judge and jury for her own wrongdoings. 

Consider how the President refuses to face the truth about Obamacare, and then remind yourself that Hillary already can’t be honest about her economic plan

Under Obama the only aggression against America that warrants a serious response is when the Democratic Party and liberal campaigns are threatened – where America cowers before terrorist nations holding our citizens hostage, and pays them off rather than stand up to them. Under Hillary we’ll have more of the same – our terrorist enemies will be given weapons, while law-abiding Americans will have their right to self-defense taken away.

There are countless reasons to vote for Donald Trump – what do you think is the BEST reason? You have many choices in the first question of our new Weekly Poll, and I hope you’ll weigh in today. 

This week’s second poll question is a different twist on the elections – what to you is the BIGGEST reason to vote AGAINST Hillary? I’m very interested to see people’s responses to this one. 

And for the final poll question this week: What will you be doing over the next three weeks to help elect Donald Trump and defeat Hillary Clinton? 

Finally, having attended the Al Smith Dinner last night, I find myself in the peculiar position of agreeing with ultra-liberal Geraldo Rivera – Big Media’s prejudice against Trump and his supporters was laid bare.  

Overall it was a wonderful night, and I hope you have a great weekend!

The MOST important election in our lifetime

How soon the main stream media forgets facts.  Fortunately for us, there are other ways to get our news now.  The Federalist reminds us of 8 times liberals claimed an election was rigged or stolen.  Powerline has another reminder, one that we all remember, Even Hillary, albeit she does have recall problems.

The final debate is tonight at 9:00 PM.  Don’t let the talking heads on main stream media tell you what happened; watch and decide for yourself. 

Some observations prior to the debate:

Wednesday night’s debate may well be Donald Trump’s last significant opportunity to expose Mrs. Clinton as the candidate whose subversive policies will bring this great nation to its knees. It’s time for Mr. Trump to get specific and go for her Achilles heel — Benghazi.

Chairman Michael R. Long reacts to Hillary’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, anti-Catholic remarks in leaked emails.  We should all be worried about Hillary’s —  and those who are closest to her —  beliefs.  Just this past week the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a law requiring pro-life pregnancy groups to promote abortion.  (Yes, you read that right.)  Imagine what will happen if they win the White House.  Will America adopt a policy that allows couples to only have one child?  Will they be required to abort women?   Here is more on Hillary Clinton’s war on faith.

We are leaning a lot from Wikileaks…but according to Chris Cuomo — the Governor’s brother — only the press should have access to the leaked emails.  That has to be one of the most outrageous statements ever made by a journalist…they can read and let us know what they want us to know!  Oh my, how have we allowed this superior attitude to become acceptable?  We the people must become WE THE PEOPLE!  Here are some things Chris Cuomo believes you should not have access to: a list of 17 damaging Wikileaks leaks, An attorney tells team Hillary that her email scandal “smacks of acting above the law,”  boasts about how the media was with Hillary

Weekly Wrap-Up

As this election becomes a referendum on political correctness, I am becoming more and more concerned about the left’s determination to crack down on dissenting views and differing opinions. 

The biggest example this week: Dennis Prager’s “PragerU” videos have been censored by YouTube – “protecting” America from such dangerous topics as “Why Did America Fight the Korean War?” and “Islamic Terror: What Muslim Americans Can Do.” 

Investigative reporter James O’Keefe was a target of the social media thought police this week as he was suspended from Twitter after releasing damaging footage of Hillary Clinton supporters promising sweeping new gun control measures. 

This follows an instance earlier in the year in which Twitter shut down a petition campaign against gun control focused on California Lt. Governor Gavin Newsome, who happens to be a friend of Twitter’s bosses. 

The liberals start their censorship early: Consider this story of a Nebraska high school that concocted phony reasons to silence a pro-life student club. 

And this week, thanks to Juanita Broaddrick, we’re reminded of the many times the “mainstream” media has selectively edited interviews and news reports to protect liberals (and especially the Clintons).

Of course President Obama has jumped into the fray. Decrying the Internet as a new type of the “wild, wild West” – i.e., a place that liberals’ don’t completely control yet – Obama says he doesn’t want censorship but rather a “curating function”… a phrase only a hardened liberal could concoct.  

We’re seeing how this type of government control is stifling even the most lighthearted criticism in China. And these comments come just as President Obama is handing over control of the Internet to authoritarian regimes. 

I want to know what you think about all of this: How concerned are you about the left’s silencing of conservative ideas? Which left-wing institutions do you believe are the WORST about oppressing conservative views? What topic do you believe the left is MOST likely to censor in the coming year?

Those are the three questions in our new Weekly Poll – we welcome all views and vigorous debate, so I hope you’ll give your opinions now. 

In other news this week: Newly revealed information this week shows us the Clinton Cronyism at work – whether they’re handing out ambassadorships to repay “political debts” or backing expensive bills at the beck and call of liberal lobbyists.

Hillary’s hypocrisy was revealed for all to see this week, as leaked documents showed her discussing the need for “public stands” vs. “private stands” on controversial issues. 

And the left’s hypocrisy continues on the $15-an-hour minimum wage, which they publicly celebrate while privately conceding it could be a disaster (a disaster we’re seeing unfold before our very eyes here in New York). 

Have a great weekend!

Hillary Clinton wants to be the first female president more than anything…and will do or say almost anything to whatever group she is addressing, from Wall Street donors to Townhall audiences.  Obama wants to protect his legacy and is more than willing to help Hillary.  Why should we believe that Russian officials authorized the DNC hacks?  We only have the administration’s word and it benefits them for people to think Russia is behind the hacks.  What about China?   This would be funny if it wasn’t so true. 

The deBlasio administration gave out illegal raises…I wouldn’t want to be the person who has to explain to the employees that they cannot have them.

It was refreshing to hear a democrat say that Mayor deBlasio’s municipal ID program is contributing to “all kinds of fraud” — including at the polls.  When he was reached Monday night about the undercover video, he only walked it back slightly by saying, “I should have said ‘potential fraud’ instead of fraud.”  The Daily Signal has a related article on When Zombies, Aliens, and Felons Steal Our Votes

CONSERVATIVES RATE LEGISLATIVE MEMBERS Assemblyman Dean Murry scores highest with 95% Senators Akshar and Felder highest in Senate with 90% score

Fort Hamilton Station, NY (10/11/16) The Conservative Party released its ratings for the 2016 Legislative Session today in order to let the electorate know how their legislators voted on 20 key bills acted upon in the 2016 Legislative Session.

The Conservative Party tracks legislation throughout the session, issues support and opposition memos, and determines, at an executive committee meeting, which key issues including spending, crime, education, nanny state legislation and various other topics that affect the lives of New Yorkers, will be used. “We believe that it is necessary to keep the public informed of these key votes and let the taxpayers be aware of how elected officials spend our money. Every bill is considered, and then we choose a reasonable number to give voters a fair assessment of how tax dollars are spent, laws that effect the cost of doing business and the safety of citizens living in New York,” said Mike Long, State Chairman.

“A review of the twenty bills used in this year’s ratings will show voters how some passed bills are specious or costly to taxpayers and where they will help New Yorkers,” said Long. “The ratings give voters a scorecard on how their individual legislator voted on a diverse range of bills considered in the legislative session,” said Long.

“Assemblymen Dean Murray is the highest scoring member (95%) in this year’s ratings. Senators Fred Akshar and Simcha Felder scored the highest in the Senate with 90%,” Long stated

This year the overall New York State Senate rating is 69.5%, up from last year’s 62%. The Conservative endorsed legislators in the Senate scored 79.7%, while the Democrats scored a 57.4% average. The Assembly increased their overall average bringing it up to 41.8%. Conservative endorsed Assembly Members averaged 71%, while the Assembly Democrats averaged 29.5%.

“Before going to the voting booth in just 4 weeks, voters should review our ratings and consider how their legislators represented them. Conservative principles work for taxpayers and for businesses, voting for officials committed to conservative principles is the only way New York will be able to stop the hemorrhaging of people and jobs,” concluded Long.

Ratings are online here.

Please call: 718-921-2158 or 518-356-7882 if you have a problem. Thank you.
