Daily Update

Today’s  NY Post Editorial opines on the  shameful decision to parole Herman Bell.  Chairman Mike Long is calling on Governor Cuomo to rescind the order immediately.  Read his press release here. 

In the Metro section of the NY Post, this article explains how cold-blooded killer Herman Bell was granted parole.  This cold-blooded calculating killer told the members exactly what they wanted to hear; and they fell for his deceitful words.

Diane Piagentini understands that letting a cop-killer out of prison is a betrayal to police officers who are putting their lives on the line now.  Officer Joseph Piagentini’s widow explains what it has been like without her husband for the last 40 years and then realizes that Black Panther Herman Bell will walk free.  She rightfully calls it a betrayal.

A betrayal to her, every policeman and every New Yorker. 

Governor Andrew Cuomo must reverse this decision immediately.  He must stand up for what is right, he must make this right.

Daily Update

The news of the day is Governor Andrew Cuomo’s close confidant, Joseph Percoco, was found guilty of conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud, and solicitation of bribes and gratuities in connection with a low-show job given to his wife by an energy company with a downstate power plant interest before the Cuomo administration — three felonies.  He was also acquitted of three felony counts.  Governor Cuomo – obviously you cannot end corruption in Albany…when you never recognized it when it was right in front of you, or even worse, you ignored it and allowed corruption to flourish.  Fredrick U. Dicker’s July 24, 2014 column said it well:  Scandal exposes Cuomo as liar and phony.  

Hillary Clinton will say anything for attention…she just cannot admit she and she alone was the reason she was not elected.  This time, while overseas, Hillary really reached into the deepest depths of disrespect when she blamed racism and misogyny for her loss.  Hillary—get over it.  You lost.  Period.  Play with your grandchildren…they have a way of grounding adults…watch Frozen a few dozen times and just Let It Go

More good news:  State Senate opens probe into plan to export homeless upstate.   This is a result of the NY Post exposing Mayor de Blasio’s scheme of offering a free year’s rent to homeless people who move out of town.   

Really, Mayor de Blasio?  You forced a person who dared to disagree with you to resign…after ensuring that members would be free to disagree with you.  So much for being a man of his word. 

Here is another one of Mayor de Blasio’s major failures that he must be held accountable for.   Obviously, the Mayor doesn’t subscribe to fellow democrat Harry S. Truman’s famous quote:  The buck stops here.

Weekly Wrap-Up

The big news this week is that President Trump is planning to hold talks with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Here is what that says about the White House’s North Korean strategy.

As Fox News explains, “President Trump’s tough rhetoric has led Kim to conclude that the use of force by the U.S. really is on the table and that the Trump administration can’t be played for fools, like prior American administrations.”

Indeed, if it were President Obama or President Hillary Clinton leading these talks, I would be concerned. But for a variety of reasons, I think President Trump can make it work. What is it that makes you think President Trump can be trusted to lead these talks with North Korea? 

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

(President Hillary Clinton – I’m so glad I only have to use those words hypothetically!)

Nationally, the Trump economy continues to boom, exceeding expectations for job growth

Seeing all this economic growth and freedom, the Democrats naturally want to raise taxes.

And it’s shocking how much of our tax dollars help fund abortion – $1.5 billion over just three years, according to a new report

How do you think this money could have been better spent? That’s the second question in our new Weekly Poll.

Speaking of tax-and-spend liberals, it’s business-as-usual in Bill de Blasio’s New York City, and as Nicole Malliotakis points out hard-working taxpayers are shouldering the burden of the liberals’ tax-and-spend ways. 

The gun debate remained in the news this week, and it’s become clear that media elites and liberals don’t know and don’t care about the specifics of gun ownership – but as Barack Obama reminds us, the left doesn’t let facts get in the way of trying to abolish the Second Amendment. And of course, when liberals in our neighboring state Connecticut dismiss NRA supporters as terrorists, it’s clear that an honest debate isn’t really what the left is after.

What do you think is the worst lie or misinformation that liberals trot out in the gun debate? That’s the third and final question in our new Weekly Poll.

Have a great weekend!

Daily Update

The NY Post editorial board opines on Mayor de Blasio’s whine. 

“New York’s public-sector unions are eager to lock in members who might flee if an expected US Supreme Court ruling gives them the right to escape. And state Senate Republicans may play along.”  This quote is from another editorial in the NY Post today, encouraging  Senate Republicans to reject  the scheme to trap workers in public sector unions.  The Conservative Party agrees that the Alcantara Bill must not be enacted. 

Councilman:  This is NOT government’s responsibility! 

When will legislators stop wasting time introducing “Nanny State” legislation?  I sometimes think they purposely try to dumb down the electorate just to stay in elective office. 

Really Governor?  You flatter yourself.  Cuomo fears Russian interference in governor’s race

Citizens of our great nation have a unique privilege in choosing who their government officials are, a responsibility, in fact, to vote.  Early voting is not the answer to get more citizens to vote; in fact, early voting can lead to fraud, not knowing all of the facts about candidates and increased costs.  This CNY election boss thinks our lifestyle in the 21st century makes voting a “burden” and thinks there should be 12 days set aside for early voting.  He is wrong and refuses to look at the facts that disprove his theory.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) elected in 2016 was California’s Attorney General prior to becoming California’s Junior Senator.  Knowing her background, one would think she follows Supreme Court decisions and the effect they have on America.  This being said, it makes her appearance on MSNBC yesterday, slamming AG Jeff Session’s speech on California ignoring the nation’s immigration laws and likening it to nullification all the more puzzling.  Like it or not, an Obama-Administration Precedent May Doom California’s Effort to Make Itself a ‘Sanctuary State’, writes David French in National Review on line.  Mr. French does not totally agree that the US Supreme Court’s decision will  or should be upheld in the current case, but, as he notes, conservatives would find it sweet if California lost because of Obama’s efforts.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has abandoned all pretenses of being a moderate democrat and aligns herself with progressive causes at Working Families Party rally.  It is time for her career as a Senator ends.   Sen. Gillibrand has latched on to the #metoo crowd, yet fails to do all that she can to end a cult in her own backyard.    NXIVM is a secret group that is accused of branding women, one would think that since Sen. Gillibrand’s father worked for and was ultimately sued by the group,   (when he found out about troubling legal, possibly criminal matters, he chose to discontinue his work) it would be an organization that she would have some knowledge of and ability to investigate – if not herself – at the very least to call for a thorough investigation by some of her colleagues.  There are so many questions as to how NXIVM continues when victims have cried out for help.

Weekly Wrap-Up

Are we at a turning point on guns? Don’t believe the hype… we’ve tried gun control before and it hasn’t worked, but the Democrats are going for broke and refusing to let this crisis go to waste.

Are you concerned that Congress will pass new gun control measures that undermine the Second Amendment? That’s the first question in our new Weekly Poll.

In the gun debate we’ve seen everything from bad ideas to terrible ideas to nonsensical ideas, and conservatives must admit that the President hasn’t helped the cause, though he seems to be walking back some of his more alarming rhetoric.

George J.
