What Americans are seeing from their new president is a person who would rather cater to the progressives of his political party instead of showing concern for all of those who are struggling to keep their jobs. As if it isn’t enough that closing businesses due to COVID-19 restrictions cause millions to be out of work, the newly inaugurated president revoked the permits for the Keystone Pipeline putting hundreds out of work (and others dependent on them will also lose jobs), raised the minimum wage for federal workers (raising the minimum wage for non-federal workers is also on the progressive agenda and that will cause others to lose their jobs), the federal government isn’t concerned about raising the wages of their workers because they will just raise your taxes to pay for the increase while private businesses will lose business when they are forced to pay in the increased wages and possibly have to close up shop. It is disheartening that a man who preaches unity and pretends to be there for the “working man” begins his term by hurting those who he promised to help. Another question for President Biden; what is fair and evenhanded about having a transgendered man compete against a woman in school sports? Not to mention that he embraces the debunked NY Times 1619 project while decommissioning the 1776 Commission. Does anyone wonder why his political handlers prevented him from campaigning all fall long? Seventy-four million American were not fooled by his campaign absence; unfortunately, eighty-one million people didn’t care and we will all pay the price. As the NY Post editorial noted in today’s paper: Biden gives up on ‘unity’ for his first action item.
And then there is this: Making America California/ The Biden administration seems determined to run the country on the ruinous model of the Golden State.
Amazing. Does Amazon understand what it is communicating here? Amazon Trying to Block Voting by Mail in Unionization Election. Really Amazon? What you pushed for our nation isn’t safe for your company? You should hang your head in shame. Clearly, another case of do as I say, not as I do, and people are really beginning to say: enough of this. “We believe that the best approach to a valid, fair and successful election is one that is conducted manually, in-person,” an Amazon spokesperson told news outlets. “We will continue to insist on measures for a fair election, and we want everyone to vote, so our focus is ensuring that’s possible.”
A reminder that there were good people in Washington, DC on January 6, 2021 that the main stream media will not tell you about: What So Proudly We Hailed.
If NY city, NY State and other major governments run out of the COVID-19 vaccines due to poor management (disposing of them), why do so many left-leaning citizens want government to be in charge of their health care and other aspects of their lives? Someone please explain why when most everything governments handles is in a horrible mess (housing, unemployment, vaccinating citizens, elections, etc.) people vote for those who promise that government will take care of them?
William Voegeli has an excellent article in City-Journal: About “Whataboutism”/When turnabout is never fair play, that I would encourage every reader of this blog to read and hopefully circulate to family and friends. Set aside a quite moment to read it; it is equal to some of my favorites written by Thomas Sowell and the late Walter E. Williams.
Today’s blog ends with these words of wisdom from Thomas Jefferson “An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens.” Unfortunately, far too many today do not exercise his wisdom.
Here are two articles regarding the Governor’s State of the State delivered yesterday from an upstate paper: Cuomo vows to vaccinate 70% to 90% of New Yorkersand Vaccinations, boosting economy top Cuomo 2021 agenda. The focus of these two articles is COVID-19 and not the problems New Yorkers will face with the substantial budget shortfall taxpayers are facing. COVID-19 is a major concern for all New Yorkers (as well as the world’s population) but, the way government responds to the economic fallout must be questioned by those reporting on the problems. How do we expect people to understand the depth of the economic shortfall, and how it will be resolved, if the newspapers gloss over the seriousness of the budget concerns? The media has a responsibility to inform the public; our Founding Fathers realized that by elevating their importance in the First Amendment. It is time they accept that responsibility no matter how unpleasant it may be to report; government does not need cheerleaders as much as her citizens need to be fully informed.
The man will say anything to get the press’s attention. Schumer: Put Everyone Who Was in the Capitol on No-fly List. Yes, the people who stormed the United States Capitol were wrong and they broke the laws of our land and should face the consequences for their action; and they will.
Insurrection: a violent uprising against an authority or government. Madam Speaker; you, and those you lead, may think President Trump was responsible for an “insurrection” but never once did he call for violence. You, Madam Speaker, used your office to introduce an impeach resolution. Shame on you and all your lemmings. Shame on the media for not acknowledging that you are pouring oil on a fire. Shame on President-elect Joe Biden, who superficially makes a call for unity, but does absolutely nothing, as he did all summer, to calm things down. You call yourselves leaders, you took an oath to protect our US Constitution (“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”) yet, you, Madam Speaker, today you purposefully and deliberately allowed a resolution for impeachment to be filed, to appease your base and you and your lemmings continue to divide our Republic. Shameful and sad that power means more to you, Madam Speaker, and your lemmings than this great Republic called America.

Statement by Chairman Gerard Kassar on Governor Cuomo’s State of the State
Brooklyn, NY – Governor Andrew Cuomo’s State of the State was a pure political speech that failed to address the structural fiscal situation that multiplied the costs of the COVID-19 pandemic.
There were no details as to when he intends to return control of the government back to its duly elected representatives, nor when businesses can return to their normal operations, in fact, he noted that further business closings may be needed.
Gov. Cuomo’s reliance on the federal government bailout is as shortsighted as his reliance on the sale of recreational marijuana and the institution of mobile sports betting. Bad ideas remain bad ideas even if it helps you gain revenue.
New Yorkers need a Governor that is willing to make the structural changes necessary and show the leadership to provide a path to economic recovery, not the Pollyanna statements made to placate progressives.
Brian C. Adams writes in the City Journal about the dark days that have occurred since November 3, 2020. Some will be incensed about his words; some will agree. (The various newspapers and pundits all have opinions that will try and influence what you think.) The Party has received numerous comments on what happened yesterday in Washington, DC and what led to that ugly display of mob rule; some supported what happened; most did not. I am one who did not. I do believe that there were irregularities that occurred on election day; I also believe that the four years that Donald J. Trump was president, the media, the never-trumpers, the swamp, the power-crazed oligarchs did everything within there power to destroy a man who loves America and wanted every person to have the same opportunities to be successful. Donald J. Trump created an economy that lifted all those who wanted the opportunity to be lifted; he stood up for the unborn; he cut regulations where necessary and ran the country as an efficient businessman, not bound by the politics that Washington, DC craved. President Trump stood up for America on the world stage and brought together countries in the Middle East that no one thought possible. North Korea knew he meant what he said; as did Iran. President Trump ran on a platform to make America great again, and to the best of his ability, he kept his promise, despite the constant onslaught of those who resented the fact that a non-political person was elected the 45th president of the greatest nation in the world. Election day, November 3, 2020, should have been his re-election; but those who had worked so hard to destroy him for four long years, with the help of COVID-19 emergency changes made without the consent of state legislatures managed to maneuver the system to their benefit.
What happened was wrong; what happened in Washington, DC was just as wrong. When an election is lost, by whatever means, we examine how we lost, we hold our head high and we do not destroy all the good we have done. We are no longer kids in school playgrounds fighting about who dropped the ball. We must be the adult and demand that cooler heads prevail; we cannot criticize Antifa and the rioting that occurred all summer long, then let our anger react in a similar way, albeit, I do believe that some from Antifa were at the rally and edged on the crowd in Washington, DC yesterday.
I understand the frustration that people have; I understand how being out of work for 10 long months (and no real end in sight) can create resentment against a government who has forgotten that “We the People” run the greatest experiment in democracy. I understand that the politics of playing with people’s lives has caused many to lash out in anger, but, unbridled anger will not resolve the serious conflicts America is facing within.
Socialism isn’t what made America great. Socialism has never lifted countries out of poverty and provided freedom for all their citizens.
We must regain the dream that our Founding Fathers believed in. We must remember our history and acknowledge, while not perfect, we have corrected our mistakes. Erasing our history, or not knowing it, can allow some of the same mistakes to be made again. We must focus on the generosity of Americans; those who serve to protect our way of life; those that give to those who need; those that create jobs for others to earn a living; those who worship God, not the statism that seeks to replace Him and we must refocus on the golden rule: treat others the way you want to be treated.
Today is a new day, with it comes hope. Hope that America will heal as it has in the past. I am committed to doing my part, are you?
Here is a very interesting article about health care: Amazon, JPMorgan, Berkshire to shut down health-care venture Haven. I can’t help but wonder how some of the most profitable, smartest run businesses in America can’t seem to make health care work for their employees. Did they decided it consumed too much of their profits?

STATEMENT BY CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF NEW YORK STATE ON OBJECTIONS TO THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE CERTIFICATION
Our Founding Fathers’ insight when creating the new United States of America continues to astound today’s citizens when we are faced with extraordinary circumstances that need to be resolved. It is a constitutional obligation to be certain that our elections take place as laid out in Article II of the US Constitution, and as of this date, questions remain that Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada followed or supplanted the election law laid out by the Constitution and/or the legislatures of each of these states.
The 74+ million people who voted for President Donald J. Trump have the right to have their representatives in Congress question the certification of the November 3, 2020 elections, and the votes cast by the members of the Electoral College, as liberals did in January, 2017. Which, by the way, wasn’t the only time objections were made regarding the certification of the votes cast by electors to the Electoral College.
Earlier, in 2005, Ohio Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, said at a press conference with Sen. Barbara Boxer, “How can we possibly tell millions of Americans who registered to vote, who came to the polls in record numbers, particularly our young people … to simply get over it and move on,” while questioning Ohio’s 20 electoral votes that a report by the Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee found “numerous, serious election irregularities” in Ohio that led to “ significant disenfranchisement of voters.”
Much has been reported how the COVID-19 pandemic led to various changes in election laws that were not passed, as required by the US Constitution, by state legislatures. Every citizen who cast their vote in the 2020 elections has the right to know that their vote was cast according to the Constitution and/or state laws — passed by their legislature and signed into law by their governor — of their home state and not supplanted by those who did not have the authority to do so.
The government of these United States is run by its people; who elect representatives to speak for them; it is the obligation of these elected congressional representatives to be certain that every vote cast, was cast in good faith that the laws of the states were meticulously followed.
“The state’s economy, which Gov. Cuomo and de Blasio locked down, is failing to spit off enough tax revenue to fund the state’s spending plans, they’ll argue, so taxes must rise to fill the gap.” Albany is planning more pain for New York in 2021. “… New York’s future rides on stopping the loony left.”
Casey Seiler, writes in the Albany Times Union, about the Gov’s plan to allow 6700 football fans attend the Buffalo Bills playoff game on Saturday, 0109 2020. Well worth reading: Because the gov says so.
Janice Dean is a non-political person (meteorologist on Fox News) who suffered the loss of her beloved in-laws due to COVID-19. Fortunately, Mrs. Dean has a platform (social media presence) to speak for those who do not have a large platform to hear their concerns. Read her moving article here: Janice Dean: The tragic rise of Andrew Cuomo amid COVID-19 — a real American crisis.
Victor Davis Hanson writes his last article for National Review: A Guide to Wokespeak. Mr. Hanson appeared on Fox News (December 30, 2020) and restated all the reasons why the Jan. 5 US Senate election in Georgia is so important to our Republic. And then there is this from Mr. Hanson: What Will Historians Make of Our Annus Horribilis? Thank you, Mr. Hanson, always the straight shooter who lets us believe that America can come back stronger.
So, should one believe that when a potential Biden Administration appointee files a “conflict of interest” form, that they will be automatically able to disregard the prior arrangement they had with the potential conflict of interest? Janet Yellen made more than $7 million in speaking fees in 2019, 2020. Wouldn’t it better for any administration to tap a person without any potential conflict of interest?
Speaking of conflict of interest, do you think Alexander S. Mackler, who is serving on Joe Biden’s Justice Department’s transition team may have his own conflict of interest while serving as an advisor for Biden?
Progressives, note this: States of Growth and Decline. (Those who move from blue to red states, a piece of advice: do not bring your voting habits with you, duh, that is why you left! Sadly, sometimes, I think {when they continue to vote progressive} it is a plan to let the oligarchs take over because I can’t believe they would be foolish enough to continue voting for the same failed policies.)
Note to progressives and progressive wannabes who are elected officials in New York State: your policies have helped create this horror, what are you doing to keep your constituents safe?
