The Squad v. the President: Round 3

Welcome to our new website;  we hope you find our new site easy to navigate and full of use full information regarding the Conservative Party and the Conservative Cause in America.

We are supporters of President Donald J. Trump, and like many of our readers, we sometimes cringe when reading his tweets.  With that being said, we do not believe he is a racist, but sometimes President Trump does not understand how people react to the words he uses.  Kay Cole James, President of the Heritage Foundation, has an excellent article on the damaging words our President said on Sunday.  Katrina Trinko, editor-in-chief of the Daily Signal, also has an excellent column on how his use of words actually diminishes the good policies that benefit minorities.  Both articles, while rightfully chiding President Trump, show the man as a person truly devoted to the American Dream and wants everyone to benefit by it.  Certainly not what the main stream media has reported all this week.

The NY Sun ran this editorial in its July 16 edition.  Well worth reading, especially for our younger generation that has been short-changed in learning history.

Kudos to our GOP/Conservative Members of Congress!  They did not fall into the democratic theatrical trap they pulled this week and the inappropriate personal attack of Speaker Pelosi on the Congressional floor.

Trump Setting Up Democrats for a Defeat in 2020.

Actually, the Democrats are doing a pretty good job of setting themselves up for defeat with these ideas; Free tuition (no matter how good it sounds to parents, and students, preparing for or in college); Sanctuary cities; denigrating ICE; and silencing free speech.

Obviously, the members of the Squad, never had a time out, nor listened to the pop hit “Let It Go.”

It is time for the Squad to take a deep breath and realize they are novices in Congress and as a Member should respect the institution and President.

Welcome to Chairman Kassar’s Weekly Wrap-Up for July 12, 2019!

NEW YORK IS SECOND WORST STATE TO RETIRE

 The Democrats in charge of New York are making it into a place that is terrible for individuals to enjoy the golden years. A Bankrate.com study showed that it is the second worst state for people to retire.

 It was ranked the absolute dead last in terms of affordability, but scored poorly on other metrics such as culture, crime, weather and wellness. The Democrats are rapidly bleeding the state dry, as they become more radical in their central planning.

 “Where to live is probably one of the most personal decisions one can make because it’s not just about preferences, it’s also about the financial considerations that are associated with it,” said Mark Hamrick, who is the senior economic analyst at Bankrate.com.

 The only state that ranked even lower on the list than New York this year is Maryland.

 FEMALE SOCCER STARS DISRESPECT FLAG, DEMAND MORE MONEY

 The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNT) disrespected their nation’s flag during a gratuitous and profane celebration following their recent gold metal victory.

 We congratulation them for  winning the gold, but then the women tossed the U.S. Flag to the ground so they could showboat for the cameras. They also drunkenly embarrassed themselves during the public celebration, showing no class and dignity, with Trump-hating lesbian Megan Rapinoe issuing a profanity on live television.

 These narcissistic ladies do not seem to understand the basic laws of supply and demand as well. The USWNT is demanding “equal pay” with their male counterparts despite the fact that they bring in far less revenue.

 “We want the same money that the men are making, exactly. That’s $5,000 minimum– that’s– that $8,000– bonus if you tie a game, and the $17,625 if you win. We want equal money,” soccer star Rich Nichols told CBS’ 60 Minutes.

 Forbes explains that the men’s World Cup in Russia generated revenues in excess of $6 billion, while the Women’s World Cup is only anticipated to garner $131 million in revenue for the four-year cycle 2019-22. The female soccer players actually are paid a larger percentage of the revenue than the male soccer players.

 These women are not only ignorant of our nation’s rich history, but also ignorant of basic economics. We will all be better off when their 15 minutes of fame comes to an end.

 BILL DE BLASIO’S WAR AGAINST CHARTER SCHOOLS

 New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is on the war path against charter schools, blaming them for having better educational outcomes than the government-run schools that have failed for generations.

 “I am angry about the privatizers. I am sick and tired of these efforts to privatize a precious thing we need — public education. I know we’re not supposed to be saying ‘hate’ — our teachers taught us not to — I hate the privatizers and I want to stop them,” de Blasio said.

 The administrators and backers of charter schools are fighting back, pointing out that minority children are well-served by their schools and attacking them hurts their opportunities to achieve.

 “While he is busy campaigning in distant states and denouncing Democratic leaders for their lack of ideological purity, charter and district educators will continue to work together to create brighter futures for New York City’s children,” said James Merriman, CEO of the New York City Charter School Center.

 “It’s sad to see de Blasio trashing charter schools to advance his political ambitions rather than thinking about the needs of the more than 123,000 children here in New York City — most of them children of color — who attend the charter schools he so reviles,” said Ann Powell, who works as spokeswomen for Success Academy Charter Schools,

 De Blasio, the self-proclaimed progressive champion of diversity and equality, is yet again failing miserably at achieving his stated goal of improving the lives of the downtrodden.

Daily Update – Sadly, New York is beginning to see the results of being soft on crime.

Here are the 5 best and 5 worst states for retirement, alas, you already know where New York State is listed.

Democrats have moved ‘too far to the left,’ says BET network founder Bob Johnson.

Seth Barron opines in the NY Post about progressive pol’s unpleasant surprise: Handcuffing the cops means trouble.

The Beat points out more of what happens when a prosecutor adopts a soft-on-crime, turn ‘em loose approach to handling arrests.

Speaking of education, here is more on what More on California Public Education Social Agenda.  

The marijuana industry, led by Big Tobacco, Big Alcohol, and pharma investors, are pushing Congress to rethink its position on marijuana and pushing for Congress to fall for the marijuana’s industry tricks to bring pot to your local stores.  Here is a Fox News report that is a must read – and take action on (contact your Member of Congress) – to prevent Congress from making a huge mistake.  It is up to us to protect our children and society from any more drugs.  Read what the main stream media won’t tell you about the problems that come with marijuana legalization.

National Review, whose founder, William F. Buckley, was a long time supporter of legalizing marijuana, has an article that Congress needs to settle the looming cannabis-regulation fight.  We don’t disagree that our 50 states cannot go on with a patchwork quilt of marijuana legislation, but, the very serious problems associated with legalization must be considered before Congress gives into the very influential marijuana lobby.

“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.” According to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, this pledge also includes advising illegal immigrants on how to avoid ICE officials when they are doing their jobs.

Daily Update

Kudos to Kearns!  Kearns takes NY to court over drivers license law.  The Buffalo News article includes a copy of the lawsuit.  Here is Erie County Clerk Michael Kerns on Fox News this morning explaining that granting NYS Drivers Licenses to illegal immigrants violates federal law.

How pathetic is this headline:  When Cuomo demands action, millions get wasted.  Unfortunately, it is so true and no one tells the emperor he has no clothes.

What is going on in California’s education system?  Calif. Teachers Won’t Notify Parents If Student Leaves School for Abortion.  When will parents wake up and take back the responsibility of raising their children?  What the California education system is doing is way beyond the reach of education, it is assuming the rights of parents and must be terminated immediately.  California Parents:  get you backbone and end this travesty before any more eradication of your family and your values takes place.

The Daily Signal has an article on how difficult it is to take back control in the education system.  In fact, they lost.  However, if we don’t do all we can to take back the education system, what will the results be?  We are the parents, we must demand that the education system is not there to teach their definition of family values and change the family values we hold dear to our hearts.

Pediatrician on How Transgender Propaganda Harms Children.

Why Military Families Overwhelmingly Support Education Choice.

Mayor de Blasio shows his true feelings; he “hates” charter schools.  Shameful that he puts the education of children last when he panders to the union leadership of teachers.

The CBO estimates that 17 million people would benefit from a federal minimum wage of $15., however 1.3 million people would most likely lose their jobs.  Let the free market determine wages.  Look at the states that have mandated a $15 minimum wage, it isn’t all roses, business have been forced to close and those who have lost their jobs are not making any money.  Here is the National Review critique of the CBO report.  And then there is this:  Restaurant Group Files for Bankruptcy After ‘Progressive’ Minimum Wage Laws Harm Profitability.  As we noted above, when you lose your job, it really doesn’t matter what the minimum wage is, you are not earning even $1 an hour.

Richard W. Rahn opines in the Washington Times on deleting history, forgetting the past.

Daily Update

Lawmakers call for exemptions from NYC’s controversial congestion pricing plan…just note this; the more exemptions that are granted, the higher the cost to those who are not exempted.  They have to make up the money to fund the MTA’s capital needs plan and the irony is that people who, for the most part, do not use the MTA will pay the price.

Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Parole Board did it again; “Fatal Attraction” killer, Carol Warmus has been freed from the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility.

Governor Cuomo, a lawyer, knows that the U S Constitution prohibits what is known as a “bill of attainder,” or a law that singles out an individual person for punishment.  Yet, in his zest to please his fellow democrats, he signed a Bill that could allow lawmakers on Capitol Hill to obtain President Trump’s state tax returns, in what has been described as a “workaround” after failed efforts by House Democrats to get the president’s federal returns.  While the Bill does not specifically single out President Trump, it is apparent he is the target.  If, NYS tries to hand over President Trump’s NYS taxes, rest assured, this will end up in the US Supreme Court.

Team Blas is still spending faster than the money comes in.  (Easy to do, when the money is not yours and there is no accounting for it…when you run out, you just up the taxes!)

The Beat writes about cheap rhetoric over real reform.  Poor Richard Carranza, if one really puts the students first, Richard Carranza is not the person one wants to head the NYC school system.

One has to give Governor Hickenlooper credit for being honest when he says this:  Hard to Fundraise When You Don’t Promise Free Stuff.

Priorities gone astray; San Francisco has lost its connection to reality.

Are chemical abortions having a negative effect on women?  Preliminary studies indicate yes, but unfortunately the study says more testing is necessary.

Robert Knight opines on the Washington Times on the Democrats’ open border strategy.

This should be interesting:  President Trump to Hold Social Media Summit.  However, it would be more interesting if both sides were present.  According to article, Twitter and Facebook have not been invited.  Personally, I would like to see them defend themselves.
