“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it”-Ronald Reagan
Where do you put most of the blame for the Obamacare debacle? That’s the first question in our new Weekly Poll.
Another thing that’s becoming clear: Democrats will soon regret that the GOP failed to repeal the collapsing Obamacare.
But doing nothing isn’t always bad – sometimes when Washington snoozes, the economy wins. And President Trump is helping this along by putting the kibosh on hundreds of Obama-Era regulations before they can stifle our economy. Good for him.
“A Better Deal: Better Skills, Better Jobs, Better Wages.” – that is supposedly the Democrats’ new slogan that they’ve been researching, testing and tweaking for eons… and if that’s the best they can do it’s no wonder they lost in 2016. I have two questions:
1. Do the Democrats really think that the best way to connect with working-class voters is to tell them that their skills aren’t up to snuff? 2. Is anyone else suddenly hungry for Papa John’s pizza?
What do you think would be the best slogan for the Democrats right now? That’s the second question in our new Weekly Poll – I hope you enjoy some of the options I’ve come up with!
It looks to be another scorcher this weekend, and it’s been hot all across the state – what are you doing to beat the New York heat? That’s the third and final question in our new Weekly Poll.
Malliotakis demands de Blasio’s travel costs be released. Our readers had a heads up on this yesterday. Let your friends know they can be on top of the news by subscribing to our Daily Update, especially concerning the race for Mayor. We will do our best to let you know everything Assemblywoman Malliotakis is doing to better the lives of New York City residents.
Your tax dollars misused again; is anyone really surprised that nearly 2000 technology devices are missing? When government just takes more of your money, they are not forced to be prudent when spending it.
Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis is standing up for all New Yorker’s by filing a FOIA request for the cost of 21 separate trips Mayor de Blasio has made since March of 2014. Today’s New York Post editorial gives a sound reason why Mayor de Blasio is painting his rival, Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, as a Trump clone.
As more New Yorkers learn about the possibility of New York holding a Constitutional Convention, the less they like the idea. VOTE NO on the Con-Con in November.
Politico writes “As subways suffer, Cuomo plans choreographed bridge lights.” The article points out that the MTA is not paying for Governor Cuomo’s bridge lights. However, the taxpayer certainly is, and aren’t there better uses for your tax dollars?
Senator Schumer: Your Party and you created this problem (without one republican vote) and your statement today is a political invention.. Since becoming Minority Leader, you and your colleagues have never held the door for bipartisanship open on health care.
It isn’t enough that politicians take our money, some judges make really bad decisions that have genuinely detrimental effects. Michael Goodwin opines that “the city” is sleepwalking into a crisis, but also reminds us that is because we have forgotten how “the city” became great.
Don’t give up…help is on the way. From Politico: Staten Island Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, the likely Republican nominee in this year’s mayoral election, outraised Mayor Bill de Blasio’s re-election campaign over the past two months, when comparing each candidate’s donations and potential matching funds.
Is former VP Al Gore the real inventor of “fake news”? He is back again trying to scare everyone into believing that he knows what he is talking about. He doesn’t.
Althouse writes how Snopes (of all places) gives an in-depth analysis of the false allegations and misleading claims made against President Trump since his inauguration.
President Trump’s priority is protecting America – while the Democrats are focused on… using defense dollars to fund sex-change operations.
In your opinion, how would military funds used to subsidize sex-change treatments be better spent? That’s the first question in our new Weekly Poll.
On this and virtually every issue, the media – or the left, if you prefer… it’s hard to tell the difference – continues to show an astounding level of bias. Think about Russia (how can we not, as much as the media elites harp on it), or immigration, or even how the First Lady is portrayed – the liberal slant of news coverage that has always been obvious is even more insidious now.
What would you say is the most glaring example of liberal media bias that Americans are witnessing right now? That’s the second question in our new Weekly Poll.
Will the Democrats’ anti-Trump overreach backfire? Are they especially overplaying the Russia card? Time will tell – but we’re seeing case after case after case where the media liberals have a stark double standard for President Trump and Democrats.
It’s almost time for Congress to take its August recess – but it seems this year’s summer break will be delayed at least for a short while and maybe more to catch up on keeping campaign promises about Obamacare, taxes and other matters.
How much of a difference do you think it will make if the House and Senate cut back on their August recess? Let me know in our final Weekly Poll question.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
