“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
Why did Twitter silence a NY voice? (This is a Newsday column and a subscription is required.) Everyone should be concerned that we have been silenced on Twitter. We are also concerned that we blocked from seeing what others are Tweeting about and therefore cannot respond to political statements from the right or left. So much for our First Amendment rights.
The NY Post headline: Gov. Cuomo regrets not mandating masks for New Yorkers sooner. What you should regret, Governor, is sending COVID-19 patients back to nursing homes. New York State has the highest death rate, due to your directive from DOH. And if it wasn’t your directive, why is Howard A. Zucker, MD, JD still working there?

CONSERVATIVE PARTY ENDORSES JACOBS; UNITED FRONT FOR NOVEMBER
Brooklyn, NY — NYS Conservative Party Chairman Jerry Kassar has announced that the Executive Committee of the NYS Conservative Party has upon a recommendation from Western New York Party leaders endorsed Congressman Chris Jacobs for re-election to Congress. The vacancy occurred when Beth Parlato was nominated for the State Supreme Court.
Chairman Kassar called the endorsement, “a logical conclusion of a process that allowed voters to express their preference. Chris Jacobs won that contest and now he will go on to represent the people of the 27th Congressional District and New York State ably in Congress. The NYS Conservative Party’s first and foremost priority is to elect qualified conservatives to Congress. Individuals who will vote to replace Nancy Pelosi with a new Speaker; one who will respect individual freedom, personal responsibility, and smaller government. I am confident Chris Jacobs is that person.”
Erie County Chairman Ralph Lorigo said, “The voters of the 27th Congressional District were given a choice this year to select their preferred representative. They did so and selected Chris Jacobs. As a party official, I have always believed, we are here to promote the will of voters. I have known Chris Jacobs for a number of years. He has always shown himself to be an advocate for his constituents. I am glad we will work together with our Republican allies to defeat Nate McMurray and provide President Trump a strong voice for conservative values!”
Livingston County Chairman Jason McGuire described “elections being about choices. The Conservative Party preferred a different candidate in this year’s congressional primary, but that candidate was not victorious. The choices before us now are Congressman Chris Jacobs or a far-left candidate. We choose Rep. Chris Jacobs.”
Congressman Jacobs in accepting the endorsement stated, ”America is facing a major decision in November and conservatives are stronger when we are united. I am proud to have the endorsement of the Conservative Party and I look forward to continuing to work in Congress to rebuild our economy, restore safety to our streets, and protect the rights and future of all Western New Yorkers.”
The Conservative Party in the 27th Congressional District received over 34,000 votes for Congress in the 2016 Presidential election year.
New York’s emperor believes he is godlike and tried very hard to convince those who watched the DNC convention that only he can lead the United States of America as president some day soon. Those who have praised his handling of the COVID-19 crisis in New York State, either do not live here, never passed reading comprehension, or are smitten with the hogwash his press flacks distribute. In case you missed his self-congratulatory presentation, you can watch it here. It is amazing how his outright lie says how the Trump Administration is responsible, while it was Governor Cuomo and his administration order patients with COVID-19 to return to nursing homes, knowing it would spread like fire through dry grass. Andrew Cuomo is driven by power; he is driven by the fact that he must achieve more that his father who is still admired by many. Andrew Cuomo and his lemmings will never come close to being a mini Mario; Mario was genuine, Andrew is deceptive. Any doubts, read this: Gov. Cuomo looks to cash in with book on pandemic despite NY death toll. Any more doubts, read this (especially the 5th paragraph) Political Buzz: Cuomo’s Cameo at the Coronavirus Convention.
Cuomo’s control is still front and center. This editorial from the Observer (western NY) is a rather fair assessment of Governor Cuomo’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis; and like us, believes the time has come and passed to end his total control handed to him by the democratic controlled Houses. The citizens of this great state elected a Governor, (and 213 members of the Legislature) not an Emperor who rules as if he is the only person who is capable of making decisions.
Just months after saying Joe Biden’s relationship with segregationists was “hurtful,” and attacking his record on desegregation bussing, Kamala Harris has accepted Joe Biden’s offer to join his ticket in November.
Harris’ selection as VP cements the Democratic parties hard turn left. Moderate polices are no longer welcomed. Instead, the potential Vice President, whom many believe could be elevated to President due to Joe Biden’s health concerns, is for no restrictions on abortions, ending cash bail nationally, single payer healthcare, and support of sanctuary cities.
Kamala Harris represents the new Democratic party. The party is hell bent on crippling tax increases, defunding police departments, and returning America to its status as the worlds piggy bank, taking care of foreign interests before our own here in the United States.
Manufacturing jobs in the rust belt will disappear the same way they did when Biden was Vice President. Pennsylvania will lose its fracking industry resulting in the loss of thousands of jobs, and cities will continue to crumble under lawlessness and disregard for law abiding citizens.
Malliotakis, Katko Go Live with Commercials
Assembly member Nicole Malliotakis, congressional candidate in New York’s 11th district, rated as a top 10 overall race in the country, and incumbent representative John Katko in New York’s 24th district, recently went up with their first live commercials.
Nicole is looking to flip the 11th district red. As a candidate for Mayor in 2017 she won 68% of the vote in the district. You can view the Malliotakis Ad here.
Congressman John Katko has represented the 24th congressional district which includes the city of Syracuse since 2015. This seat is one of the few seats in the nation that Hilary Clinton won, that the Conservatives/GOP currently hold. A hardworking incumbent, Congressman Katko nevertheless faces a strong challenge in this Democratic leading district. You can view the Katko Ad here.
New York Parole Board Set to Release Another Violent Murderer
A man convicted of gruesomely raping and murdering two moms as their young children listened to their harrowing screams is set to be released from prison September 3.
Just six years ago, Samuel Ayala was asked if he would have killed the children had he not run out of bullets, he refused to answer.
In 20 short days, New York is set to release another convicted murder. A murderer who should have been sentenced to death in 1977. His crime is unconscionable, and incomprehensible. So is the parole boards decision to release him.
Ayala was sentenced to life in prison, and that’s exactly where he should remain until his last breath. He cut two lives short, left two families with mothers, daughters, and wives.
Ayala forfeited all his freedoms when he raped and murdered two innocent women. He should never experience one second outside the prison walls that currently house him.
I am outraged and saddened by yet another terrible decision to release a murderer back onto the streets.
The two victims don’t get a second chance, the children don’t get their mother back. Their only memory is the horrific sound of screams and Ayala laughing uncontrollably as he shot the Westchester moms.
I am appalled by the parole boards latest decision and even more appalled Governor Cuomo stands by idly as murderers who show no sign of rehabilitation are granted their freedom.
September 11 Light Tribute Cancelled
Today we learned that the 9/11 Memorial and Museum production company will not display the Tribute of Lights on the 19th Remembrance of America’s darkest day.
The two bright blue beams remind New Yorkers and the world that there is always hope that the future will bring peace through strength and vigilance.
Certainly the health of the individuals responsible for the display is important, however, in a city where millions of people have returned to work safely, adequate preparation could have and still can be made to protect the workers while respecting the 9/11 Memorial and Museum’s mission to commemorate the unbreakable spirit of New York and our strong belief that we shall never forget.

Chris Churchill writes this in the Albany Times Union: The number Andrew Cuomo doesn’t want you to know. Fortunately, there are some out there that are unwilling to sweep this ongoing crisis as to the number of deaths in nursing homes under the rug as the Emperor is trying to do.
Then there are those who destroy the core values of what helps America be the greatest nation in the world…why would anyone set out to destroy a McDonald’s House that only helps families during a health crisis? The people who did that last night crossed the line and deserve a long prison term – for the fear they placed on the occupants — as well as a lesson on humanity and then they should have to volunteer at a McDonald’s House to understand that doing good gives a sense of purpose that destroying property will never provide. Pray for America; for if things like this are allowed to continue, America is on the path of devolving into a Third World Country.
Why is Governor Cuomo so fearful of an independent investigation into his administration’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis when it comes to nursing homes? Governor Cuomo actually said in the article that “Cuomo argued that a recent review by the state Department of Health found the cause of more than 6,000 nursing home deaths in New York since COVID-19 began was attributed to infections spread by staff members and not by residents who were, under his advisory order, returned to the facilities from hospitals while still infected but recovering. Cuomo said that report had been reviewed by “credible industry experts.” Wow! Can you imagine what Cuomo’s reaction would be if the tables were turned and President Trump was defending his administration’s investigating itself? The Emperor would be incensed; he would shout from his bully pulpit that a fox cannot guard the hen house. Yet, here he is defending, deflecting and calling it political when it is apparent that a complete cover-up is being engineered by those who are responsible for allowing COVID-19 to spread like fire in dry grass. There are no more public hearings on the matter; it is up to the public – you and I – to be certain that those responsible will be held accountable. This is not about politics (The Nation is hardly a right-leaning publication).; this is about NEVER allowing an error in judgment that claimed lives, that failed to protect those most susceptible, and the ensuing denial that a grave error in judgment was made ever happen in the future.
Michael Gormley writes in Newsday that nursing homes defend NY virus response, but say changes needed. When you read this article, it notes that “Nursing home operators said Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and the State Legislature had cut funding to nursing homes over the past two years, exacerbating staff shortages…” could it be they (nursing home operators are fearful of more cuts since the NYS budget is facing a $30B deficit.) Government programs are meant to help those who are not able to help themselves, not those who choose not to help themselves. Those in nursing homes are obviously not able to care for themselves placing the onus on government to do what is right and that includes not sending them back to nursing homes when they are COVID-19 positive.
Twitter still has @cpnys suspended and as you can tell, it really is getting rather annoying. Perhaps they should read this article: Why a Culture of Free Expression Demands Tolerance. What the powers that be at Twitter fail to understand, is that no one is forced to read what we post! If some simple-minded snowflake is “triggered” by something that we posted, what were they doing reading @cpnys, other than to lodge a complaint to stifle our right to express opinions. It really is a disgrace that Twitter allows the “cancel culture” to flourish in a country whose First Amendment guarantees its citizens freedom of speech.
This is New York’s legacy while under total democratic control: Fiend who raped, murdered two Westchester moms as kids listened is being freed. You can change New York’s legacy; get involved in your local campaigns for the NYS Legislature, contribute if you don’t have the time; make phone calls, if you can’t contribute. Do SOMETHING to regain a balance of power!
“Bob Avakian, chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA (RCPUSA), has endorsed Joe Biden for president,” is the opening sentence in Robert Knight’s latest column in the Washington Times. Read the rest of it here.
The Daily Signal writes that the White House Weighs Bill in Response to Big Tech on Free Speech. Conservatives support the First Amendment and are not prone to support any attempt to regulation free speech, however, when certain aspects of free speech are silenced, there may be no alternative than Congress stepping in to make certain that free speech is not silenced by bots or AI or some biased group of uneducated cretins. I will admit that I am prejudiced since Twitter has silenced us since July 10 and twice before this year. We can not access what others are saying and our voice isn’t being heard. Twitter may continue to ignore us, not responded as to what we may have done to violate their rules, but they will never, ever completely silence us or others in the conservative movement.
Earlier this week, Mayor de Blasio announced he would impose checkpoints at various New York City points of entry to enforce quarantine for those traveling in from out of state by car.
This is yet another stunt perpetrated by the Mayor in his bid to one up the Governor in their battle to crush New York City business, and make our once bustling city, just another over governed mess.
The Mayor has no real answers for all the problems plaguing New York City, instead he seems hell bent on finding ways to make life more difficult for New Yorker’s and tri state residents who travel in for work or pleasure.
We have seen extraordinary cooperation and sacrifices from residents and business owners who continue to try and comply with the ever- changing rules regarding where you can patronize, what you can eat, and what you can drink.
Mayor de Blasio is not built to lead the city through these tough times. We should continue to work collectively to save businesses and reward residents, a majority of whom are following social distancing guidelines daily, not add to congestion at the bridges and tunnels, making it more difficult for people who come to NYC to spend their hard-earned money.
Nursing Home Hearings
The kangaroo court organized by the Democrats in the state legislature convened earlier this week as hearings regarding the New York State Health Department’s handling of the coronavirus and nursing homes began.
Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker was questioned by state legislators on the decisions they made to place COVID-19 positive patients in nursing homes amongst residents who showed no signs of sickness.
The Department of Health has reported nearly 6,600 residents who had or likely had COVID-19 died at nursing homes. NY state has not disclosed how many nursing home residents have been infected with COVID-19.
The state has thus far failed to provide accurate data, to which GOP Senator Tom O’Mara made clear is unacceptable as Dr. Zucker and his Health Department have known for many weeks he would be testifying at the hearing.
The truth is the Democratic conference, who control the investigative committees, are failing to use their subpoena authority to compel testimony and demand records.
This investigation has started off as a sham and it is my opinion it will end as a sham.
The New York State Conservative Party continues to call for an independent investigation.
Silenced on Twitter
For the third time in as many months, Twitter has locked the state party out of their account and has failed to provide us with any information as to why we do not have access to our account.
No terms were violated, no rules were broken, and nothing inappropriate was posted to our account at any time.
I find it extremely troubling that we have been silenced on Twitter, which we used regularly to update our followers on party information and candidates state wide.
While we continue to attempt to regain access and fight Twitter’s censorship, we ask that you follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Parler to keep in touch and up-to-date on the latest news regarding the state party and our candidates.
Dems’ demand for ‘slush fund’ in aid package threatens to derail PPP extension; yet, the Republicans get the blame. If we are trying to help those who are out of work due to government restrictions on businesses, why are democrats demanding bail outs to city and states? Now is not the time to just hand over money to governments who never set aside money for emergencies or worse spent money they did not have by projecting rosy revenues. The money they are talking about comes from us, every working person, and quite frankly, we don’t have extra money to give to governments that failed to plan.
From the Wall Street Journal (subscription required) Read Joe Biden’s Lips: New Taxes BTW, his new taxes have nothing to do with the COVID-19 payments made and deficits to be filled.
The Pot Industry won’t like this headline: Weed is not good for your heart, studies say. CPNYS stands by its position that marijuana is still a Schedule I drug; and according to the FDA, Schedule 1 drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.
Michael Gormley’s report on the joint hearings held by the legislature yesterday regarding the nursing home COVID-19 deaths is here. Fox News’ meteorologist Janice Dean, who lost both her in-laws, responds to the hearing here.
A federal judge upends NYS Election Law by ordering mail-in ballots to be opened. Just so you know, the Judge, Analisa Torres, was appointed by former president Barack Obama, who has called for mail-in ballots in this November’s elections; Mail-in ballots, as opposed to Absentee Ballots. Absentee ballots have a long history; mail-in’s do not. Here is a Washington Times article on the debacle.
This endorsement speaks volumes: Hochul (no bail, empty jails, etc.) Endorses Cobb; Troopers PBA (putting their lives on the line to protect New Yorkers ever day) Backs Stefanik
If you haven’t heard of the Lincoln Project, you should read this assessment of it in the Washington Examiner.
How pathetic is this headline: Ex-New York Times writer Bari Weiss says paper ‘living in fear of an online mob’ “… when you are living in fear of an online mob, you know, all it takes is a dozen people to repeat a lie about you — that you’re a racist, that you’re a transphobe, that you’re a bigot — for that lie to become true and that’s extremely dangerous.” At least Ms. Weiss recognizes the power of the cancel culture and has been willing to stand up against it. It didn’t take long for the once great NY Times to devolve into the cowering Grey Lady.
