Joe Biden’s legacy will always be the catastrophe of the Afghanistan exit.

In an error when crime is escalating, Progressive groups tell Hochul next chief judge must not be former prosecutor.  Among the progressive groups signing the letter was the Working Families Party, a political organization that endorses legislators who have voted for legislation that has help create the surging crime rate.  Since Governor Hochul has dug her heels in on the progressive cashless bail and will not remove NY’s AD Bragg, rest assured the 100 organizations who were signatories, have her ear.  Even  more reason to Save our State by electing Lee Zeldin the next governor of New York State.

Need another reason?  After a rough June primary in New York, insurgent progressive candidates are doubling down.

STATEMENT FROM NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN GERARD KASSAR ON BIDEN-SCHUMER-PELOSI TAX HIKE, IRS AGENT HIRING SPREE BILL

Brooklyn, NY – “Americans are desperate for economic relief, and Democrats in the House, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are likely to stick it to us again today in a party-line vote that Republicans can’t stop.

“The grossly misnamed ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ is yet another Democrat tax increase — in the middle of an inflation crisis — coupled with the greatest expansion of the IRS in modern times. Hiring 87,000 aggressive new IRS agents tells us everything we need to know about Democrat priorities.

“This tax hike will do special damage to mid-size businesses, which employ millions of Americans. Once this legislation is forced through, an untold number of those employees will receive pink slips.

“Is this what Democrats call progress?”

Has a Pulitzer Prize become more important that getting the news right?

What if this is the only article people read today (and missed the one below) Newsweek: AG Garland Had ‘No Prior Knowledge’ of Mar-a-Lago Raid. Granted, Guy Benson, had a lot of “ifs” in his take on all the assumptions swirling in newsrooms, but it begs the question…with all the reporters relying on breaking the Pulitzer Prize winning article, who do we put our faith in when needing the truth? Guy Benson is a good reporter and didn’t fall for all the rumors from those on the “inside,” but I am certain far too many did. (This no way  infers that all the below articles are seeking a Pulitzer.)

New York will no longer use ‘inmate’ for people in prison. Governor Hochul’s remarks included the following:  “In New York, we’re doing everything in our power to show that justice and safety can go hand-in-hand,” Hochul said. “We can make our streets and communities safer by giving justice-involved individuals the chance to complete their rehabilitation program and work at the same time. By treating all New Yorkers with dignity and respect, we can improve public safety while ensuring New Yorkers have a fair shot at a second chance.”  My question to Governor Hochul is:  Where was the dignity and respect for the victim? Let me know when you can answer that question, Governor. Every New Yorker knows hardly anyone goes to prison as a first time offender (except if the crime is heinous) so by giving an accused person the benefit of a second (or more) chance, it sends a signal that the offense wasn’t all that offensive.  Instead of accepting that as their “second chance” many continue their crime spree. (Just read the papers there are too many articles to list.)  So, Governor Hochul, where was the “dignity and respect” for the innocent victims whose lives were disrupted by the “incarcerated individuals”? Hochul must go, her wokeness and desire to be the first elected female governor, is what drives her, when her first priority should be the safety of all New Yorkers.

Brooklyn, NY – “The FBI, with machine guns drawn, invaded the home of a former President of the United States. It better have a damn good reason.

“All Americans should be alarmed by this exorbitant use of force, and all Americans should be demanding answers from the Justice Department today.

“Yesterday’s raid also raises the important question of political double standards. How has Hunter Biden not been indicted yet? Only the Justice Department knows, and we await an explanation. This all reeks of politics.”

Mayor Adams, what do you expect when New York City is a self-professed sanctuary city?

The Democratic Party elites continue to portray themselves as the Party that believes what is preached as right for you isn’t remotely good for them. For example, the NYC and Washington, DC Mayor’s had no problem with the Biden Administration letting, make that encouraging, people to cross our southern borders without restrictions and staying in the southern states.  The ever-increasing influx of people crossing the southern border illegally, who need a place to live, need health care, need an education, need fundamentals like food, transportation and a job, didn’t have an impact on their sanctuary cities, so they have remained silent about the constant flux of illegals.

Things have changed, instead of the federal government flying these illegals – in the dead of night without any notice to the local governments – Governor Abbott and Governor Doug Ducey are bussing them to NY and DC, during the day and in the open and letting officials know.  What also speaks volumes is that Mayor Adams expected 40 illegals and only about 14 got off the bus.  “The mayor suggested that the most likely reason was because of the fear that something was going to happen to them if they came to this location, people got off earlier.”  The Mayor may be right, which is even more upsetting to those who live in New York City because his “marquee campaign promise is to make the city safer while ensuring that policing is done appropriately and without racial bias.”  Instead, the NYPD is seeing an ever increasing exodus of officers and brazen crime increasing.   Alas, 8 months have gone by, and the city is not safer; and he cannot even get Governor Hochul to understand the need to  eliminate the most obvious reasons.

Mayor Eric Adams and Mayor Muriel Bowser are crying foul;  they have failed to visit he southern border and not have any concept of what the southern states have been going through since Joe Biden took an oath of office to uphold the laws of the United States. Both mayors are hypocrites (Mayor Adams went so far as to condemn Gov Abbott)  for believing that it is okay for Texas and Arizona to be flooded with illegals and not the cities who celebrate their self-proclaimed sanctuary status.

Here’s the Truth About What ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ Would Do.  This is a must read and distribute to family and friends, then vote everyone who voted for it OUT OF OFFICE, starting with New York’s own Senator Charles Schumer. Chuck Schumer’s only job in the private sector was during 3 years in high school working a mimeograph machine and getting dinner for his boss, Stanley Kaplan, the creator of Kaplan, Inc., the scholastic test preparation business. (It is often rumored that Schumer scored 1600 on his SAT’s…and I’m guessing the future politician certainly learned a lot working there…)  He has never had to run a business, meet payroll demands, provide benefits to employees or close a business due to a pandemic. Taxpayers have been paying his salary for 47 years and quite honestly will pay him until he passes on. His retirement check is guaranteed, unlike so many workers whose businesses have closed leaving the former employees with no retirement income. Over the weekend, his “leadership” just made it more difficult for every American to make ends meet. That is what Oligarchs do; take care of themselves (cater to those who would primary them; make colleagues beholden to them by giving a select few what they want in secret negotiations) without regard to the people who made this country the best in the world.
