The Wolf in Sheep’s clothing is back!

For the families that have lost loved ones in nursing homes due to the complete misguidance of the Governor and his Health Commissioner Zucker, finally some good news:  NY Senate Repeals Bill Shielding Nursing Homes From COVID-19 Lawsuits.  It is little consolation to the families who have lost their parents, grandparents, spouses, but it is a positive step; we will stand with them to make certain that nothing like this ever happens again.  We will never forget that Governor Cuomo knew that returning sick patients to a nursing home was like “fire through dry grass” yet, that didn’t stop his directive on March 25, 2020.  To make it even worse, he would not even let the sick patients be tested for COVID-19.  His actions were unconscionable.  Add to this heart breaking scenario, yesterday we learned that “New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York Health Commissioner Howard Zucker directed health officials to prioritize the governor’s own family and figures with ties to his administration in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, the Albany Times-Union reported Wednesday.”

Governor Andrew Cuomo, you can never undo the grievous mistakes you made, even giving you the benefit of the doubt that we were in unchartered territory regarding how to handle the world-wide pandemic, your arrogance and belief that you did your best or worse that you followed what the federal government recommended – you eventually realize it wasn’t what they recommended and rescinded the DOH order on May 10 – you have never apologized to the families who could not even be with their loved ones while facing an almost certain painful death.  Your actions were not the actions of a leader; they were actions of a man who believes he can do no wrong.  Governor Cuomo, it is time to admit you made mistakes; and then resign.

Some examples of Schedule I drugs are: heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana (cannabis), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy), methaqualone, and peyote;) there have been ample times to remove it from Schedule 1 yet the FDA has not reclassified it; a fact that government ignores in its quest to spend, spend, spend on their pet projects without regard for the consequences which are inevitable.  Read what SAM (Smart Approaches to Marijuana) thinks of marijuana and state budgets.  And then read Marijuana and Mental Health.   Our youth’s drug use is rising in states that have legalized marijuana.

Oh Boy, this should be very interesting, I wonder if she will acknowledge the problems and find a way to resolve them, or is Harris there because she knows nothing about immigration except her very progressive views.   Biden taps Harris to lead on immigration amid border crisis.
