The NY Post editorial gives Gov. Andrew Cuomo kudos for calling Sunday’s bombing exactly what it was.   “A bomb exploding in New York is obviously an act of terrorism,” said the Governor, unlike others.  We also agree with the last sentence in the editorial, “We have our differences with Gov. Cuomo — but, boy, do his fellow Democrats make him look good.” 

Hillary, on the other hand, is rightfully excoriated by Rich Lowry.  

Brietbart covered Wendy Long’s statement issued yesterday.

President Obama is so out of touch with reality!  Our Commander-in-Chief called the bombings a “Narrative” fight with ISIS.  What is even more disconcerting is that Hillary thinks like him.  Conrad Black opines in the New York Sun how Hillary Clinton may snatch defeat from victory’s jaws. 

In his final presentation as President, Obama disses America 11 times!  And lectures us about refugees. 

How is that Syrian cease-fire doing Secretary Kerry? 

The Daily Signal reminds everyone that the weekend attacks across America shows need for renewed vigilance.  Mayor deBlasio calls for more Muslim migrants….maybe he is looking to cash in with George Soro’s money. 

Is there a “smoking-gun” in the Hillary email deletions of email?

How much did the Clinton Foundation spend on charitable grants in 2014? 

Smartphones help keep citizens aware of emergencies.

The Daily Signal has more on President Obama’s plan to give away the internet. 

Tuesday’s with Thomas Sowell….Our Political Predicament. As usual, an excellent column.  

President Obama did not address the nation when NYC and New Jersey were bombed Saturday, nor did he say anything on Sunday, but had no trouble being in campaign mode.   It took him until Noon on Monday to acknowledge that “terrorist want to instill fear in American’s.”   The hard work of police and the watchful eye of a business owner made it possible to catch the suspect.  We now know that New York was notified of a possible attack prior to the actual bombing.

Leave it to Gov. Andrew Cuomo to defend President Obama’s silence.  (Less time for you in the spotlight, Andrew?)

Today we also learned that more than 800 illegal immigrants from countries of concern who were set for deportation were granted citizenship!!  Perhaps President Obama didn’t want to address the nation about the bombings knowing this.  Or maybe he was afraid that the Administration’s money laundering would be revealed on national television, how foolish of me to think that the main stream media would expose his rather foolhardy foibles.    I know this much, Ronald Reagan would have talked to American citizens as soon as possible to reassure us that he “had our back.”  Of course, with a Peace through Strength attitude, it wouldn’t have happened.

Wendy Long: Political Correctness is Killing Us

President Obama’s arrogant audacity actually led him to say this to the Congressional Black Caucus on Friday evening. To which I say — What have you done for the Black community, Mr. President, except make race relations worse, keep people in poverty, gave them “affordable” health care they can’t afford and have done NOTHING to bring the murder rate in Chicago down.   In all honesty, Mr. President, the Black community owe you nothing.

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon is not happy with the State Department’s slow walking Hillary’s emails.

Is Hillary getting nervous about keeping NYS in her column?  A third office was opened in Westchester. 

Schneiderman may be in legal trouble for keeping documents from congress. 

Monday’s with Robert Knight.

“The best evidence that Hillary Clinton is lying about her health is that Hillary Clinton is lying about everything.”  That pretty much sums up the news this week, after Hillary’s frightening health scare during a 9/11 ceremony.

Could Hillary’s health lead to Bill Clinton’s third term? History tells us it could happen.

Her health may be failing, but Hillary’s lying instinct is as strong as ever.

This whole incident is one more reinforcement of Hillary’s reputation for dishonesty – though there was more than enough proof of that to begin with.

So what do you think is the real story behind Hillary’s bout with heat exhaustion/ dehydration/pneumonia/the flu?

Do you think the situation is WORSE than Hillary & Co. are letting on? Do you think they’re telling the truth? Or is this incident not a big deal, as far as you’re concerned?

That’s the first question in our new Weekly Poll.

I’m also wondering, how important is it to you for the President of the United States to be in good health?  That’s the second Poll question for this week.

Meanwhile Hillary’s campaign looks like it has seen better days – “nothing short of a disaster,” according to one report.

 As a clear path to victory has emerged for Donald Trump, the Clinton campaign is facing sagging poll numbers, tight races in key swing states, and faltering support among young voters, as well as ongoing questions about Hillary’s corruption and incompetence.

How would you diagnose the “health” of Hillary’s campaign? That’s the third question in this week’s Poll – I look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Have a great weekend!

New York Times:  Poll shows tight race for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.  You know Hillary is in real trouble when the NY Times has an article on how tight the race has become.  MSNBC is frenetic with this headline:  New polls serve as a wake-up call: Trump could win presidency. CNN tries to undermine the numbers, but facts do not lie: Trump is on the upswing and Hillary’s constant lies, damage-control, comments and secrecy are taking their toll.   Yesterday’s Michael Goodwin column is a must read. 

Betsy McCaughey opines on how to break the teacher protection racket. 

File this under:  Governor Andrew Cuomo is stalling...the question is why?

Governor Cuomo:  Five years in office and Syracuse, Buffalo and Rochester are among the NATIONS poorest cities.  They need jobs and a governor that makes New York business friendly by elimination the burdens on businesses instead of phony START-UP NY policies. Here is an analysis by the Empire Center on the August Jobs report. 

Here is a very strong reason to vote for our US Senate Candidate Wendy Long.  If Sen.

Schumer’s goal.

Hillary let a campaign operative override Secret Service protocol to avoid going to an emergency room on Sunday.  Yes, you read that right, a campaign operative was directing where Hillary went.  The Washington Times writes about the concerns many democrats have about the Clinton instinct to conceal, and Rich Lowry opines on how the Clinton’s lies vindicate the Hillary haters.

BREAKING: Employee Who Used BleachBit to Wipe Clinton’s Server Pleads the Fifth

No Show: Top Clinton Aide Who Set Up Hillary’s Private Server Refuses to Testify. 

Everyday Americans reject Hillary’s “basket of deplorable” label.  Here is Cal Thomas’s take on The Deplorables. 

What is going on at the Department of State?  Hillary used her influence to help the Clinton Foundation (and her family) and now the Daily Caller is reporting that John Kerry funneled millions to his daughter’s nonprofit.

Marc A. Thiessen opines in the Washington Post that Bill Clinton’s terrorism strategy led to 9/11. Hillary Clinton’s is the exact same thing.

Voter fraud is a concern, but letting the federal government oversee elections is a bigger concern.  The Daily Signal has a simple 3-step approach to defend voter ID laws.

What’s up with the NFL’s double standard on free speech?

Tuesday’s with Thomas Sowell.

We will be back on Thursday. 

Welcome to the political world of Hillary, where it is permissible to insult thousands of people as being in a basket of deplorables, but, you cannot question her without being vilified for doing so.  Of course, Hillary did try to walk it by saying maybe “half” was wrong.  Hillary does have a long history of doing her best to destroy her (and Bill’s) enemies.  The Hill writes The media elites feel that shiver up the spine — and it’s not victory.  Fredric U. Dicker writes that Clinton’s ‘basket of deplorables’ gaffe stuns both parties.  

Hillary damaged herself on Friday by using a broad brush to paint Trump supporters as a “basket of deplorables”, which was minor compared to the video of her leaving the 911 Memorial early. As noted in many organizations — The Washington Post, The Washington Times, The NY Post, Fox News, TownHall — to name just a few, Hillary’s health problems are no longer what her campaign called a right-wing conspiracy .

Townhall.com writes about Donald J. Trump’s attendance at our 2016 reception.  So does Real Clear Politics.  While not believing Trump can win in New York, the New York Magazine gave him and us some ink.  (It will be interesting to see what he writes when Trump carries New York State.) 

Michael Barron wrote this for Saturday’s papers, before Hillary’s problems surfaced. 

The Conservative Party is truly concerned about Hillary’s health and the video that showed her not feeling well is quite disconcerting — obviously we do not support Hillary for president — however, we do sincerely hope that her health problems are minor and that forthwith she is honest in letting American’s citizens know if she is healthy enough to bear the stress of being president.

This was an exciting week for the Conservative Party, as we welcomed Donald Trump to our 2016 Presidential Reception. His speech was wonderful – here is the full video. 

What is your favorite quote from Donald Trump’s September 7 address to the Conservative Party?  I’ve featured the best ones in the first question of our new Weekly Poll – make your pick today!

Meanwhile the Democrats are begging for mercy – sounds like they are getting desperate. 

How panicked do you think Democrats are right now as Hillary continues to face endless corruption and falling poll numbers? That’s question #2 in our Weekly Poll. 

Talk about scandal – even though the FBI went easy on her, Hillary can’t avoid questions about her email shenanigans. Her bad press is well earned, says the Washington Examiner. 

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg – there’s the corrupt-to-the-core Clinton Foundation to think about, and Hillary’s unprecedented foreign financial entanglements.  Plus hypocrisy, and more hypocrisy… and then some more hypocrisy, this time from Bill Clinton.  

Meanwhile the Trump campaign continues to showcase what a great candidate Republicans have at the top of the ticket. 

Right now, what do you think is the BEST reason to vote for Donald Trump? That’s the third and final question in our new Weekly Poll – I look forward to seeing what everyone has to say. 

Have a great weekend!

Our presidential nominee, Donald J. Trump, posted this last night after accepting our nomination.  We, the Conservative Party members, thank those who were at our 2016 Presidential Reception to help be a part of history.  If you were unable to attend, you can watch Mr. Trump’s acceptance speech here.  Here is Michael D’Onofrio’s article in the Journal News.  Here is how the Observer reported the event.  The LA Times interviewed Chairman Long. So was the Washington Post.  The media really doesn’t think a Trump win is possible, here is Newsmax’s article.  They said the same about Ronald Reagan in 1980 and he won New York state with the votes cast on the Conservative Line helping to make it possible.

In case you missed this yesterday.  So let me understand the AG, if you give to an organization that supports life and conservative values, he wants the organization to produce their donors, but foreign donations to theClinton Foundation it is okay?  Does anyone wonder why most Americans are fed up with elected officials???  AG Schneiderman has decided he is the ultimate voice on a question that has plagued New Yorker’s since Roe v Wade was “settled” by the US Supreme Court in 1971.  (It must be nice to be King Solomon.)

The Las Vegas Review Journal editorial headline nails Hillary!  EDITORIAL: Mrs. Clinton now plays dumb.  Here is just part of what they have to say about Hillary: “So now the seasoned stateswoman of media lore offers up the “I didn’t know what I was doing” defense. Instead of “smart” and “savvy,” the word “pathological” comes to mind.  “To the public, she claims to be a sharp professional who knows the score,” the Wall Street Journal opined over the weekend. “To the FBI, she presents herself as a clueless grandee who left the details to her minions.  Either way, she’s lying to someone. But that, of course, should come as no surprise.” 

How long will American citizens be fooled by this woman, or worse, not see a problem?   The National Review’s David French opines in his column,  Even if You Believe the Left’s Excuses, Hillary Clinton Still Violated Criminal Law,  “In other words, even if you believe the explanations and rationalizations of a known liar — as Drum apparently does — the undisputed, known facts still point to criminal wrongdoing. Hillary Clinton had classified information on her homebrew server. She sent it. She received it. She kept it. On this point, it doesn’t matter if she maintained that server for convenience or to evade FOIA. It doesn’t matter if records were wiped through a mistake or to evade a subpoena. Her behavior contains the elements of a federal crime, yet she is escaping prosecution entirely. It must feel good to be a Clinton.”

William McGurn, writes in the Wall Street Journal (subscription required) that even worse than the revelations in Friday’s FBI dump (on a long holiday weekend, no less) is that “… when the American people finally learned about Mrs. Clinton’s use of private email for public business, it wasn’t because of a functioning civil service. It was because of a hacker.”

There will be no Daily Update on Wednesday, September 7, 2016.

Labor Day is here already which means two things; Summer is almost over and the citizens really start paying attention to the upcoming November Elections.  There are 68 days until we choose a new president and either continue the dismal Obama Administration or remember that our US Constitution is based on the fact that “We, the people…” control our government. 

This week our national debt reached $19.5 trillion dollars, in eight years, under Barack Obama, it has almost doubled.  Obama’s left-wing policies have created more debt in his eight years than the combined debt in the history of our nation.  Which of his policies have caused the most damage to hardworking Americans?  Let us know in his week’s poll questions.  Just as a reminder, the $19.5 trillion is only the federal debt, states and local debt add to the burden taxpayers shoulder. 

We learned this week how Bill and Hillary have used taxpayers money to support the Clinton Foundation.  Judicial Watch let us know that Huma Abedin was more than willing to help Doug Band — a Clinton Foundation executive — get DIPLOMATIC PASSPORTS through Clinton’s State Department. 

Hillary’s VP pick, Tim Kaine does not think sanctuary cities exist which shows just how out of touch Tim Kaine is. 

We also learned this week that the Obama Administration wants to nationalize our elections.  What could possibly go wrong with that idea — Obamacare is doing so well. 

Donald J. Trump had a very good week.  Charles Krauthammer thought Donald Trump dominated President Pena Nieto.   If you missed his speech on Immigration, you can read it here.  The editors at National Review called it “A Tough but Sensible Immigration Policy.”  Trump’s outreach to the minority vote is having positive results despite what the main stream media is reporting.  This brings me to our second and third poll questions, what do you think Mr. Trump has to work hardest on to win the White House and what should Trump focus on between now and November 8.

The Heritage Foundation explains that Harry Reid is all out to end Rule 22, the Senate rule that allows debates.  All the more reason to be certain that New York’s Charles Schumer never becomes the Senate Majority Leader. 

We have a special bonus question in this week’s poll — and I will personally deliver your response to Donald Trump at our September 7 reception that features Mr. Trump.  Be sure to answer our fourth question.

Have a safe and happy Labor Day Weekend!

Hillary’s week isn’t getting any better — first there is this:  Experts poke holes in Clinton Foundation’s promised donor ban, then there is this: Reuters is reporting that according to a think tank there were secret deals for Iran after the nuclear agreement, but the most damaging must read article today is in Politico:  Bill Clinton used tax dollars to subsidize foundation, private email server.  Without a doubt, Hillary and Bill are the most corrupt couple in US politics and actually make President Coriolanus Snow look good. 

Donald J. Trump is completing his best week yet,  The Washington Times says, Donald Trump: International Man of Diplomacy — yes, really.    This from Byron York: Mexico gamble a huge win for Trump.  From the NY Post editorial page:  Pivoting on immigration and Mexico: A good day for Trump.   BRYAN FISCHER, writes this in One News Now, Trump just won the White House. 

George F. Will opines on Team Obama’s bank-settlement cash grab is unconstitutional.  Imagine what could happen under a Hillary Administration….just another reason to make certain she does not become president.  The NY Post editorial headline states:  You can see right through Obama aide’s ‘transparency’ lies.  Again on this topic, imagine a Hillary Administration…she would probably jail reporters for reporting the truth.

A fresh reminder that the Clintons never play by the rules is the headline of a NY Post editorial.

And if all of the above isn’t enough reason, read Mark Thiessen opinion piece titled Where are the #NeverHillary Democrats?  Part of what he says is “Now they have a kleptocratic nominee who epitomizes everything they claim to oppose — and they seem to be completely fine with it.” Read the rest of the column here.

And then there is this:  “Clinton emailed classified information after leaving State Dept.”  Read the rest of Daniel Halper’s article here. 

One can’t help but wonder what will happen when Hillary answers the 25 question posed by Judicial Watch. Here are the 25 questions. 

With all of the above, it is no wonder that The Hill is reporting a tightening of the polls.  And that Hillary’s support among women is waning.

It is frightening to think that “other players” could hack and disrupt our election system.  It is even more dismaying to think the federal government is thinking about taking charge of our elections!  There is do doubt our election system has some problems.  Today’s Daily Signal has some solid ideas on how to address the issue of being hacked by “other players”.
