Year: 2019

Daily Update

Mayor “you earn it -I take it” De Blasio is at it again.  From WABC News in NYC: “Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Tuesday that New York City is rolling out a $100-million-per-year program to provide health care to all residents, including undocumented immigrants.”  Hear Chairman Mike Long’s response here. 

The NY Post reports the Mayor’s money grab this way:  Inside de Blasio’s $100M health care-for-all plan. 

Bill Hammond of the Empire Center takes a first look at de Blasio care.

And, as if forcing taxpayers to pay for a new $100-million-per year program to provide health care to all residents and undocumented immigrants, today, Mayor “you earn it – I take it” de Blasio is actually finding a way for people to lose their job with his new proposal to mandate paid time off. 

Don’t give de Blasio a sleazy way to pay his legal bills.

Daily Update

With Hillary – the twice failed presidential democratic nominee – at his side, Governor Andrew Cuomo, called for a constitutional amendment to protect abortion rights in New York State.  Chairman Mike Long’s response was swift and accurate: “He must have his head screwed on backwards.”  Read more about the proposal and Chairman Long’s response here.

Former Assemblyman Richard Brodsky is not someone who the Conservative Party agrees with on most of his policy beliefs; however, in this article, he is absolutely right in stating that in all of government’s flaw, this is the most dangerous..    We firmly believe that the members of the legislature have to propose and pass with a veto proof majority, legislation that will override the Court of Appeals decision that denies the Legislature the power to change or reject gubernatorial policies, if they are put in budget bills.  The Court of Appeals neutered the legislature; it is long past time they regain their rightful place in the governmental process.

The State of Politics writes: Cuomo’s DMV Nominee Says He Backs Driver’s Licenses For Undocumented Immigrants.    Well, of course, he does; does anyone think Gov. Cuomo would nominate someone who does not agree with his position.

Weekly Wrap-Up

It’s a three-ring circus this week in Washington as Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats take control of the U.S. House – with hypocrisy, profanity, and dishonesty on full display. It’s easy to see why Americans now see “government” as the top problem facing our country.

Democrats are already pushing everything from impeaching President Trump and poisoning America’s elections to overturning the Second Amendment, erasing America’s borders and mandating taxpayer-funded abortions.

I agree with Rep. Liz Cheney – let’s hope the Democrats keep talking so Americans will know just how radical they really are. Even many liberals are worried about the Democrats’ extremist bent, as well they should be. The Left’s hunger for abortion here in New York is positively bloodcurdling.

What do you think, right now, is the Democrats MOST extreme idea? That’s the first question in our new Weekly Poll, and alas there are many options for you to choose from.

Speaker Pelosi, of course, perfectly represents the Democrats’ extremism. And under her new rule, we’ve already seen that she has no respect for the Constitution; she thinks taxpayers are her personal piggy bank; and she is on board with the Democrats’ impeachment obsession.

What do you think is the WORST thing about the new reign of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi? That’s the second question in our new Weekly Poll, and again – the choices are seemingly endless.

And talk about impeachment obsession – the Democrats got the ball rolling as one of their top priorities for the new Congress… seemingly above border security, national defense, economic growth, or anything else.

President Trump is of course fighting back, and calling out the Democrats’ petty politics.  What do you think the Democrats’ obsession with impeachment says about their party? I’ve made that the third and final question of our new Weekly Poll.

Hope 2019 is treating you well so far, and that you will have a great weekend!

Daily Update

Betsy McCaughey  and the Daily Signal  both point out how impactful it is to taxpayers now that President Trump froze pay rates for the civilian federal work force, canceling their automatic 2.1 percent raise for 2019 and a 25 percent increase in locality-based pay.

The values of society are certainly up-side-down when animals have more protections than human beings.    Shouldn’t it be the other way around, Sen. Gianaris?  Shouldn’t unborn children be protected from those who seek to violently end their lives and shouldn’t it be easier to adopt children in New York State?

The Bully is Back!  Cuomo warns of investigations war if Legislature looks into his administration. 

Governor Cuomo is completely out of line when he says that he plans to include most of his agenda in the budget bills.  Budget is Budget, not a place to get the radical abortion expansion bill, more restrictions on the 2nd Amendment and legalizing marijuana passed.  These must be stand alone bills, debated by both sides of the aisle and each topic separately voted on by each member.  New Yorkers need to know where their legislator stands on the specific issue, not where they stand with all different issues lobbed into budget bills. 

Daily Update

We hope all our readers had a Joyful Christmas and that the New Year brings you prosperity.

 Governor Cuomo may deny it a thousand times, but after yesterday’s inaugural speech, there is no doubt that he will run for President in 2020.  Just the day before, Gov. Cuomo granted clemency to 29 convicts stating that “These actions will help keep immigrant families together and take a critical step toward a more just, more fair and more compassionate New York.” Governor, New Yorkers love and welcome immigrants; we just want them to follow the laws of our Nation and come here legally.  Here is how Fox News reported Governor Cuomo’s clemency.

 Perhaps, Gov. Cuomo, should examine one of the “catch phrases” he said: “America’s only threat is from within. It is the growing division amongst us.”  Governor, Americans and New Yorkers welcome people who will follow our laws, the first one being that one must enter our country legally.  It is people, like yourself, that twist what is happening.  Would you open your home to an angry crowd demanding what you have? Don’t you want people coming to your village, town, city or country to have the same values that built our nation?  You, Governor Cuomo, are among those responsible for the division amongst us and it is shameful that you continue to blame those of us who expect, and welcome, law abiding people to emigrate to America.
