Here is an excellent interview of our candidate for Mayor, Nicole Malliotakis on Fox Business News.  Please do what you can to support Nicole Malliotakis.  Tom Wrobleski writes in the Staten Island Advance how for Mayor de Blasio anywhere is better than City Hall.   Malliotakis calls for the demotion of Judge Baily-Schiffman.  You can always stop by Assemblywoman Malliotakis website to read articles like this. 

Michel Faulkner, running for comptroller of New York City. is also our candidate on the Conservative Party line.  You can learn more about him on his website and here, when he spoke at our CPPAC meeting in Albany this past January.  He is having a fundraiser on July 19 and hopes that you will be able to attend.  

Governor Cuomo won’t be happy with this headline:  Cuomo approval rating near all-time low, poll says.

On what grounds Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA)?

Byron York: Trump-Russia investigation takes sharp turn toward the dumb.  Michael Goodwin calls the latest Russian story another witch hunt, but the NY Post has harsher words for Donald Jr.   So, Congressman Sherman, we ask again…on what grounds?

Betsy McCaughey thinks firing hundreds at the VA should just be the start. 

What is going on in Canada?  Has Canada’s government lost all sense of moral fortitude?  Apparently, Oregon has also. 

One of the NY Post editorials in today’s papers expose to the readers that a candidate is on trial for corruption, yet the local democratic committee endorsed his run for re-election to the City Council.    They take the Queens Democratic party to task, as well they should.  As a political party ourselves, we understand that all of the good government groups and editorial boards that call for an end of corruption with new legislation, you must understand this: until political parties end “we always go with the incumbent” kind of thinking, corruption is given a free ride in any legislative body.  If a political party will not demand integrity from their candidate, then as voters we must demand — at the very least – term limits.  The Conservative Party of New York State takes its responsibility to voters seriously and does its utmost to offer candidates of integrity to voters throughout New York. 

Wednesday’s with Walter E. Williams  

Mayor de Blasio really must live in his own world if he thinks that police union leaders politicized the assassination of Police Officer Miosotis Familia.  “This was a major international gathering, the most important leaders in the world were there,” de Blasio said, pushing back against the idea that he has frequently traveled overseas. His “pushing back” wants to make you think he was invited to speak with the most important leaders in the world…while the reality was he spoke to those protesting the meeting and against Trump.  By the way, Mr. Mayor, when did protesting our president become a “city purpose?”  Yes, he definitely lives in his own world, but he gets national attention when he shows his progressive stripes to lay the groundwork for a presidential run.  The Mayor may just be crazy like a fox.  The NYPD let the Mayor know how they felt today at Police Officer Familia’s funeral.  

If you have our APP on your smartphone, you read this earlier today, unbelievable!  Does the MTA really have money to spend on this?  The NY Post editorial says we were warned, but the authorities slept on.

With all of this news, is it any wonder that Wallet Hub says New York City is one of the worst-run cities in the Nation.  

He’s back! Former  President Obama is doing what he loves to do … raising money for his new pet cause, the National Democratic Redistricting Committee. 

Richard W. Rahn writes about CBO’s being notoriously inaccurate.  

The weekend was not a “good news weekend” for Mayor de Blasio, and he has no one to blame but himself.  Here are a few of the articles etc. about his trip to Germany to bash our president:  Malliotakis on Fox News; Jeanine Pirro on his jetting off; One News Now carried Ms. Pirro’s remarks;  Ed Mullings, head of the NYPD Sergeants Benevolent Association; the NY Post editorial page (07072017); today’s NY Post editorial page;  and Townhall.com’s Matt Vespa who combined some of the articles for a PR nightmare.  

Mayor de Blasio had no problem speaking in Germany — but he isn’t interested in talking about his deal to retain mayoral control of the NYC public school system.  

Upstate New York mourns the loss of another law enforcement officer, State Trooper Joel R. Davis, shot to death last evening.  This was not an assassination; as Trooper Davis was responding to shots fired during a domestic incident.  His death reminds us that every man and woman in law enforcement risk their lives every single day.  We pray for his family and pray that the senseless killing of innocent people ends.

The Washington Times opines on Illinois’ march to the poorhouse…unfortunately, New York isn’t far behind.

Robert Knight opines on the real news from Poland.  

Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has national political ambitions, would be more likely to be successful if he understood the economic logic of democrat turned republican Governor of Missouri Eric Greitens decision to change the minimum wage.   Gov. Greitens is allowing a republican passed bill to roll back the minimum wage from$10 an hour to $7.70.  His reasoning is simple, “Politicians in St. Louis passed a bill that fails on both counts: it will kill jobs, and despite what you hear from liberals, it will take money out of people’s pockets.”   

Progressive Oregonjust voted to expand the  killing of unborn children  (patients would have access to the procedure for virtually any reason, at any time, including sex-selective and late-term abortions) and is using $500,000 of  taxpayers pay for  this abuse of power in taking the lives of innocent babies. 

As states try to balance their budgets, welfare reform is becoming an issue again, and the left is not happy.  With the good news on the jobs front, finding a job should be easier now. 

The New York Times ran an article, A Constitutional Convention for New York? This May Be the Year, yesterday and actually laid out the pros and cons.  As you know, the Conservative Party is opposed to the Constitutional Convention.  Those who support it believe they will be able to add progressive issues currently held back by right thinking legislators.  As noted in the article, the last time a Con-Con was held and adopted was in 1938 when the constitution was changed to add a safety net for the poor and a bill of rights for labor, each of which has cost untold billions of taxpayers hard earned money.  Let us know your best reason for not holding a constitutional convention in this week’s poll question. 

If anyone had any doubt before, this narcissistic action by Mayor de Blasio, should be the last straw for those who still support his quest to be re-elected.   Even he knows jetting off to Germany to protest is an ill-conceived idea, why else would he keep his trip under wraps until just 90 minutes before takeoff?   The NY Daily News editorial questioned his priorities also.  Why do you think he jetted off to Germany? Let us know in our second question in this week’s poll. 

Our candidate, Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, when learning that Mayor de Blasio is fundraising off her photo with President Trump,  reminded him, that this election is not about Donald J. Trump, it is about the quality of life in New York City.  This is a result of the poor management skills of Mayor de Blasio. 

Charles Krauthammer had this to say about  President Trump’s speech in Poland “It was the most anti-Russian speech since Ronald Reagan.”   If you didn’t have a chance to watch his speech, you can view it here.   Michael Barone also has high praise for the President’s remarks, noting his rebuke of Germany’s welcoming 1 million unvetted “refugees.”

 President Trump makes it clear, he does not apologize for his love of America, and that is quite refreshing after 8 years of a president who did nothing but apologize for America’s greatness.  What do you think of President Trump’s European visit so far?   Let us know in this week’s last poll question.

Enjoy the weekend.

New Yorkers are still grieving the loss of Police Officer Miosotis Familia.  Her sister believes that Mayor de Blasio is not doing enough to protect NY’s Finest.  Heather MacDonald writes in today’s NY Post how politically fueled cop hatred has taken another innocent officer’s life.  Bob McManus explains how our leaders are piling on the risks for cops.   The NY Post calls Police Officer Miosotis Familia “a true New York heroine” in their editorial.   Rest in peace Officer Miosotis Familia.

Malliotakis: NYC should comply with all federal requests to hand over immigrants.  The fact of the matter is, that one cannot choose which laws they want to follow.  If you disagree with a particular law, you work to change it, but until you can, it binds you.  You may not like it, or agree with it, but the law is the law.  We, as a political party,  do not agree with many laws and we work to change what we can,  we will also speak out on those we do not agree with even when that candidate is our candidate.

America celebrated her 241st birthday yesterday while Americans enjoyed the day with family and friends.  Today our hearts are heavy with the news that another member of NY’s Finest was assassinated while in her police patrol car.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Police Officer  Miosotis Familia.  

Meanwhile, Manhattan’s DA has a new experiment in unpolicing that will most likely backfire.

Wednesday’s with Walter E. Williams.  

Independence Day is almost here, and this timeless message from the great Paul Harvey is as powerful as ever.

This week we witnessed the horrors of socialized health care – a chilling reminder why, as Mark Levin points out, nobody is running to Canada or Great Britain for their health care. But this is exactly what the liberals want for our country.

We also made progress this week in the fight to protect our country from the scourge of out-of-control illegal immigration. The House has taken action to crack down on sanctuary cities, and President Trump earned a major judicial victory from the Supreme Court – but the fight continues.

Via the Daily Wire, here are seven stories about the illegal immigrant crime wave that the media elites won’t cover.

Speaking of the media – their unhealthy Trump-Russia obsession continues, and it has sent news outlets into a “death spiral” of incompetence and dishonesty. 

Personal freedom, the right to life, America’s sovereignty, the responsibilities of a free press – the topics raised this week, and so many more, are particularly relevant as we celebrate the Fourth of July. I’ve focused our new Weekly Poll on three questions related to U.S. history and freedom. They are:

• Who is your favorite leader in U.S. history?
• As we celebrate July 4, what makes you proud to be an American?
• Which threat to our freedom as Americans are you MOST worried about right now?

I look forward to seeing how people vote, and I hope all of you are able to be with family and friends as you celebrate Independence Day.  Have a great weekend!
 

Seriously, Senator Schumer?  When are you going to stop putting politics ahead of national security?  

CUNY’s obscene pay hike for its top brass.  Workers in private industry would love a 10% pay raise two years in a row.  

Ignoring the will of the people, Governor Andrew Cuomo, pledged a $10 million grant to expand the Purple Heart Hall of Honor in the Hudson Valley, in return for naming the new Tappan Zee Bridge after his father.   How pathetic that Gov. Andrew Cuomo thought the quid pro quo was necessary. Westchester County Executive, Rob Astorino, reacts to the Governor’s naming of the bridge.   

Even the Fresno Bee covered the fact that Paul Massey dropped out of the NYC mayoral race. Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis puts the blame for the transit debacle where it belongs.  As the NY Post editorial states today, with Paul Massey’s withdrawal, the race is now on for mayor of New York.  Carl Campanile writes that Nicole Malliotakis (is) set to become GOP’s top pick in mayoral race.  

Mayor de Blasio is granted a two-year extension on his control of the NYC public school system among other items included in the Extraordinary Session.  Legislators seem to think it is okay to reach into your pocket and take your money then hand it over to their pet projects so they can get re-elected.

Mayoral candidate: Everyone thinks NYPD fudges crime stats.  Shortly after this morning’s debate, Paul Massey dropped out of the mayoral race, leaving our candidate, Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, as the leading contender for the GOP nod to run against Mayor de Blasio.  Here is Assemblywoman’s statement on Mr. Massey’s withdrawal from the mayoral race.  

State legislators are back in Albany, but they are not certain what they will be doing other than passing a one-year extender on NYC mayoral control of public schools.  It is our sincere hope that the Assembly does not pass the naming of the new Tappan Zee bridge after the Governor’s late father.  As PressConnects is reporting, the Mario Cuomo bridge plan is facing pushback.  Governor Cuomo should take note that it was his father who added Gov. Wilson’s name to the Tappan Zee bridge and honor his father’s wishes.  (As of this posting, legislators are just milling around and no bills have been put on their respective calendars.)

Wednesday’s with Walter E. Williams.  

Governor Cuomo is bringing the legislative members back, essentially to deal with mayoral control of the NYC school system…and whatever else the Governor may demand.  Contact your Member of the Assembly (518-455-4100) or email them and let them know you do not want the new Tappan Zee Bridge called the Mario Cuomo Bridge.  If you have not signed our petition yet, please do so now. 

Congressman John Faso appeared on Focus on the State Capitol with Fred Dicker  today and explained how his proposal in the new Health Care Bill helps New Yorkers.   Listen to him here, and understand that what Governor Cuomo, the ads being run by SEIU 1199 and editorial boards who are denigrating Congressman Faso’s proposal, are doing so because they do not 1) want any cuts to Medicaid and 2) if the Faso-Collins proposal passes it will mean far less money for their pet projects...and more money for you.  Here is Congressman Faso’s  written response to Governor Cuomo.  

Governor Cuomo:  The Empire Center knows where you can find a few billion dollars for the MTA.

Do headlines matter?  You be the judge:  CBO: Senate Health Care Bill Will Reduce Deficit By $321 Billion.   Or what most of the liberal papers write:  Budget office: Senate health bill adds 22 million uninsured.  The headline normally focusses on the article, so the liberal NY Daily News tries to tell you the “horrors” of the proposal, while the more conservative Washington Free Beacon chooses to focus on the positive.  The irony is when has the CBO even come close to being right?

Campfire Tales: Democrats Held Unplanned Sit-in On Capitol Hill To Discuss Evil GOP Health Care Bill.  

Breaking: Healthcare Vote Delayed; Trump To Meet With GOP Senate.  

The NY Post editorial opines that Sunday’s LGBTQ was the second time in a month that a New York parade featured cheering for someone who’d committed major crimes against the United States.  Sadly, there was a time when NYC parades honored true heroes, but the city I spent half my life in no longer abides by that tradition — now it sees fit to celebrate terrorists and traitors. 

Governor Cuomo is planning more taxes for New Yorkers outside of NYC if the health care proposal includes the “Faso-Collins” language that calls for the state to pay for the local share of Medicaid.  Governor Cuomo is so out of control, he even wants the local tax bill to label his proposed tax the “Faso-Collins Federal Tax” on the local tax bills.  Instead of cutting Medicaid costs, like other states have done, Governor Cuomo insists local taxpayers will continue to pay the $2.3 billion in taxes to “avoid decimation of our health care system.”  Gov. Cuomo also said,  “if this bill passes, Faso, Collins and other Republican members of New York’s delegation who supported it will have to answer to the people of this state for it.”  The reality is, Governor, Congressman Faso and Congressman Collins have the best interests of the taxpayer at heart, and you, Governor, do not.  New York’s Medicaid bill is more than Texas and Florida  combined.  Instead of rushing to add the “Faso-Collins Federal Tax” to property tax bills, Governor Cuomo MUST find ways to eliminate and reduce Medicaid’s bloated budget.  

New York is good at wasting taxpayers’ money.  

How long will it take Governor Cuomo to ban travel to Mississippi?

Seth Barron opined on this NY Times story exposes the paper’s liberal hypocrisy over the weekend.

SCOTUS allows President Trump’s travel restrictions to take effect (with limited exceptions) and will revisit it in the Fall.  In another SCOTUS ruling, 7-2. the Court stated it may not deny the church a public benefit because of its religious status. In its policies against religious favoritism, the Court found, the state came dangerously close to preventing the free exercise of religion.

Michael Goodwin opines on how Obama’s liberalism paved the way for Donald Trump.  

Bob Lonsberry opines about a bridge for Mario Cuomo.  

Did votes by non-citizens cost President Trump the 2016 popular vote? It sure looks that way, as a new study shows the unbelievable impact of voter fraud. 

In your view, how big a problem is illegal voting by non-citizens? That’s the first question in our new Weekly Poll.

Outside influences (the liberals in Hollywood, the taxpayer-funded zealots at Planned Parenthood, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, “The Resistance”) couldn’t steal the special election in Georgia, making Tuesday a very bad day for the Democrats. 

The loss could push Democrats even further left for 2018 and dampen their chances for a comeback next year – but it likely won’t inspire the liberals to rethink their ongoing culture war or their abiding hatred for President Trump.

What do you think is the most important takeaway from the GOP victory in Georgia and other special elections? And what about the Democrats’ anti-Trump “Resistance” movement: what do you think this left-wing uprising is most resistant to – winning, or reason and logic, or accepting the outcome of the 2016 election? 

Those are the final two questions in our new Weekly Poll. 

Speaking of Hollywood, the liberal stars are on the warpath again in their violent crusade against President Trump. Johnny Depp is the latest to raise the specter of violent resistance – joining the new and crowded Hollywood Hall of Shame.  

Meanwhile Sen. Elizabeth Warren is carrying the banner of violence in the Senate, echoing the harsh rhetoric that has led to bloodshed. 

Be safe out there, and have a great weekend!
