Governor Andrew Cuomo continued his attack on the federal government again at today’s presser.  While not being specific (as to whom he is blaming), he continually reminds every who will listen that no one (who should have known) said the virus was in Europe, only China, and that the coronavirus that hit New York so hard was from Europe.  Obviously, he is saying that he had no way of preventing the unusually high number of deaths because the virus was from Europe, not China as the federal government said.

As you listen to today’s presser, you, like me, will hear how these pressers are no longer about informing the public about coronavirus; they are now about going after federal bailouts and how the corporations are getting all the benefits.  Again, slamming the feds for not bailing out states that have not been prudent with their finances throughout the years and now the police, fire and teachers will have to be cut.  Then he has the audacity to say this should not be a political process.  Oh, and if you didn’t know, Andrew Cuomo is the vice president of the National Governor’s Association, a fact that he has worked into his presentation for about a week now.   Wow, the digs at Trump are not as subtle as in the past.  Today he said “you have to be smart… (to be in government) and followed up with “you’re not going to tweet your way through this.”  Andrew Cuomo fancies himself as a national figure and yearns for the office of United States President.  (While he won’t admit it, what he really desires is to be elected to a higher office than dear old dad was…so pitiful.)  Someone should tell Governor Cuomo that he really should not do daily updates and more; they are boring and his platform will ultimately show the nation that he is not ready for prime time…on second thought, he may be ready for the comedy channel as he tries so hard to let people think he can be funny.  BTW, who was that “unbiased” reporter that asked the Governor a question at the 33.03 mark?  Andrew Cuomo answers her allegations with a totally political answer.   Governor Cuomo was correct when he said answered a question that included this gem, “we do not have that kind of relationship (with the feds) that they are looking for gratuitous advice from me.”

A piece of advice, Governor: one can never really walk back a thoughtless, heartless comment.

This is very interesting.  I can’t help but think that Erie County was just granted a coronavirus “Buffalo Billion” gift.  I have no problem with Buffalo/Erie County in starting Phase 1, but it is also very important for all of New York to reopen.  Please tell me that Governor Cuomo isn’t still playing favorites with Buffalo.

Perhaps, Gov. Cuomo is just coming to the realization that he has been too heavy handed on the reopening:  Cuomo reopening Albany region, allowing small Memorial Day gatherings

Governor Andrew Cuomo’s nursing home crisis intensified over the weekend with these news reports:  Soaring nursing home coronavirus deaths don’t match official NY state tallies; MANY NURSING HOMES PURPOSEFULLY UNDERREPORT COVID-19 DEATHS, SOURCES SAY; Who Sent COVID-19 Positive Patients Into Nursing Homes?; Cuomo Defends Nursing Home Policy: ‘Older People, Vulnerable People Are Going to Die.’ What really attracted national attention was Sunday’s presser when King Cuomo responded to a question with, “How do we get justice…who can we prosecute?  People are going to die…the heath care wants for nothing…Older people are going to die…despite all that you do.”  You really have to listen to the condescending tone as he speaks.  To hear him say “older people are going to die, no matter what you do” knowing full well that his Commissioner of Health required nursing homes to admit/readmit COVID-19 patients on March 25 is beyond belief.  How does the governor sleep at night?  I really should not be that shocked knowing that he has no respect for life which he made painfully clear when he signed a bill that is a death warrant on innocent unborn lives on January 22, 2019 with a huge smile.

Gov. Cuomo’s presser today, was not quite as outrageous as yesterdays.  It does, however, show just how far the governor will go to find a doctor that promotes the facts that Gov. Cuomo wants to hear.  Dr. Bhett is a leading geo-statistician at the Imperial College of London and appeared to be thrilled that Gov. Cuomo was following his statistical models and how Gov. Cuomo is following his guidelines.  Cuomo insists “It all about the math…that is how the future will be determined, especially with reopening New York.  However, we will never go back, we must advance and go forward and overcome what has happened.” Gov. Cuomo says that is the American story; we will overcome and be better because of what we have gone through.  He is right about that; we will be stronger because we will NOT be kept under his thumb for much longer.  We are Americans, and we, the people, run the government.  Gov. Cuomo continues to hold pressers and throw his set of “facts” around controlling the opening of New York.  As the weather improves and as other states show his set of “facts” are incomplete and set forward to control human beings, he will come to the realization that we, the people, are strong and will rise up as Americans have always done.  The world speaks English for a reason, Gov. Cuomo.

Justice Prevails for General Flynn

It is beyond a shadow of a doubt a crime was indeed committed, but not by General Michael Flynn.

On Wednesday, acting Director of National Intelligence, Rich Grenell, released a list of 23 Obama Administration officials who allegedly worked to reveal General Flynn’s identity through the process known as “unmasking” (revealing their identity).

On that list of names, Joe Biden.

An outgoing vice president has no business unmasking an individual named in a raw intelligence report, particularly when that person has served his country honorably for decades and is the presumptive National Security Advisor for an incoming president of the opposing political party.

The fact that we are only learning this now demands the attention of the American people, regardless of political affiliation.  Seven unmasking requests were made by top Obama Administration officials between November 30, 2016 and Jan. 11, 2017, when President Donald Trump took office, in a clear attempt to find or manufacture dirt on General Michael Flynn, a prominent Trump supporter and advisor during the 2016 campaign. That speaks volumes.

So does Mr. Biden’s blatant mistruth this week in denying that he was aware of an unmasking in which he was intimately involved.  Of course, he was aware — he was part of it.

The more one looks at what happened to General Flynn, the clearer his railroading by leading Democrat operatives becomes.  A full and immediate investigation is required.  The American public needs to know why the Democratic nominee for president just got caught lying.

Cuomo Reverses Deadly Nursing Home Order

 After issuing an order to admit COVID-19 patients into nursing homes, Governor Cuomo has withdrawn the order in an attempt to slow down the spread of the virus amongst our most vulnerable population.

On March 25, the New York State Department of Health issued an order stating “No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19.”

Chaos followed that order and we have seen over 5,300 nursing home deaths throughout New York State, accounting for nearly 30% of all the total COVID-19 fatalities; a majority of which could have been avoided had the Governor, and his Health Department, used common sense.

While I am glad the order has finally been reversed, I am saddened and deeply troubled that this order was not just put into motion, but that it was even considered in the first place.

The Governor had been under extreme pressure to reverse this order, much of it coming from the Conservative Party, and you, who signed our petition and spoke out against the lunacy.

The party continues to call for an independent investigation into the gross negligence regarding what happened in our nursing homes.

Please sign our petition if you have not done so already.

Confirmed: China Pressured WHO Against Declaring Coronavirus Global Health Emergency

The NYS nursing home crisis just became more heart wrenching…and disturbing!  The NY Times is reporting that the Cuomo Administration inserted a provision to a pending budget bill protecting nursing homes from lawsuits over their failure to protect residents from death or sickness caused by the coronavirus.  This is very disturbing considering that the NYS Department of Health issued a directive on  March 25 (rolled back just last week) that bars nursing homes from refusing to admit “medically stable” coronavirus patients.

On April 20, the NY Post reported that Gov. Cuomo said he didn’t know anything about the directive.  On April 23, Gov. Cuomo said:  Nursing homes have ‘no right’ to reject coronavirus patients with a caveat that if they couldn’t handle the medical needs nursing homes should contact the state for help. On May 13, Gov. Cuomo said ‘We did everything we could,’ regarding of nursing home crisis that saw 5K deaths

As one follows the news on the horrific number of COVID-19 deaths it becomes apparent that many mistakes have been made…there are no guidelines for a pandemic this invasively deadly.  It was apparent from the very beginning that we were in uncharted waters.  Knowing this does not excuse the fatal errors made.

Did Governor Andrew Cuomo anticipate or know just how devastating the coronavirus would be when he slipped protections for nursing homes and the health care industry into the budget on April 2. Why wouldn’t families be given the opportunity to bring their loved ones home?  The NY Times article begs the question:  What did Governor Cuomo know and most importantly why did he not tell us?  Why was the provision to safeguard nursing homes quietly submitted into an obscure voluminous budget bill?  If it was that imperative to pass, why wasn’t it a stand-alone bill that would be discussed on the floor by all the members?  How many times does legislation rushed through have to have detrimental effects before legislators learn not to rush legislation?  Governor Cuomo, how many patients died needlessly and now their families have limited options to sue because your administration slipped in this provision on April 2 the same day it was voted on?

Sign our petition for an independent investigation into the nursing home crisis here.

Gov. Cuomo is praising Speaker Pelosi’s Bill that is a progressive’s dream.  You really must listen to his praise of the $3 trillion Bill and the need to get out of this highly partisan moment.  Wow, he speaks of how terrible it was that we were caught so short-handed in having enough medical equipment.  Governor,  shouldn’t your Commissioner of the Department of Health let you know we had a problem, after all, you have been governor since January 1, 2011 with democrats in control of the Executive Branch since Jan. 2007.  Alert:  Towards the end of the presser, Gov. Cuomo states that a business will re-open at their own peril…unless, of course, one had a friend that slipped a provision at the last minute to the budget.

Gee, Senator Schumer did Dr. Fauci let you down?  Dr. Fauci Dismisses Narrative of ‘Confrontational’ Relationship with President Trump in Question from Sen. Loeffler.

Oh my, Gov. Cuomo is calling for a federal bill that has no handouts for “greedy corporations.”  Gov. why is it okay for greedy states?  You started the year with a $6 billion deficit and offered a budget that did not close the deficit, made smoke and mirror adjustments, knew about coronavirus, closed down New York’s’ economy, you continue to keep it closed (despite the fact that even your facts have 66% of the newest cases among people who are staying home) and expect the federal government to bail you out?  Where are the feds supposed to get the money from?  We all pay federal, state, and local taxes, every family pays all taxes and every level is losing income.  So, every level will have to make the sacrifices.  He mentions education, see the paragraph above on how much NY spends on education.  And unfortunately, our students do not reflect the fact that New Yorkers pay 91% more than the national average.  The simple fact is New York spends too much from A to Z, from Montauk Point to Buffalo, in every aspect of NY government.  While I am at, why aren’t NY’s gasoline taxes fixing New York’s infrastructure?  Without a doubt, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, inherited his father’s gift of speaking…and the inability to truly understand how to be a fiscally responsible politician.

BTW, Governor Cuomo, yes,  it is true that emergency personnel wear protection while working with COVID-19 patients which certainly is one explanation why they are getting the virus at a lower rate, but, it can also be that because they are exposed to the virus they may be building up antibodies.   If we use the time from now to the fall, perhaps we can escape a second deadly wave by being exposed also; a naturally occurring “vaccination.”

Today’s NY Post editorial:  Gov. Cuomo admits he was wrong to order nursing homes to accept coronavirus patients.  Gov. Cuomo admits he was wrong?  Did we read that right?  “Gov. Andrew Cuomo has finally admitted — tacitly and partially, anyway — the mistake that was state health chief Howard Zucker’s order that nursing homes must admit coronavirus-positive patients.”  Ah, the key words are “tacitly and partially,” that makes more sense because we all know that Gov. Cuomo seldom says he is wrong.  As the NY Post front page notes: 5,200 deaths too late.

The Real Center of the Pandemic.

King Andrew is still moving the goal posts.  Any questions that he may have changed his mind, just watch today’s daily presser here.  Today’s presser also continues to deflect blame on why New York’s COVID-19 numbers are so high.  He reiterates that during January, February and March hundreds of thousands of people landed at JFK and Newark from Europe who must have been sick without the experts (while not saying the Trump Administration, but certainly implying it) did not sound the alarm and did not stop travel from Europe until COVID-19 was established here.  Experts may agree that the COVID-19 on the east coast is from Europe; however, it does not mitigate the fact that sick patients were sent to nursing homes where everyone knew it would spread like fire through dry grass.  Sign our petition here.

Governor Cuomo will keep us in PAUSE if we let him.  The democratic controlled Legislature gave him the ability to do as he deems fit while they avoid Albany and are content letting him use his bully pulpit to frighten the citizens of New York.  Last week he noted 66% of all new hospitalizations were people sheltering place and fewer NY healthcare workers are being infected with COVID-19 compared to public.  Andrew Cuomo, it is time to follow the facts.  Stop moving the goal posts and let people get back to work.

  Cuomo To Out of State Health Care Workers: PAY UP!

 Health care workers who selflessly traveled to New York to assist in the fight against COVID-19 are getting a very warm welcoming from Governor Cuomo: state taxes.

Medical professionals from around the country that answered the Governors call for help will pay taxes on income, even if they were only making money in the states they came from.

Cuomo, who has been begging the Federal Government for a bailout from the financial crisis he, and NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio created, has unconscionably decided to raid the pockets of those who came to New York to save lives.

“We’re not in a position to provide any more subsidies right now because we have a $13 billion deficit, “ Governor Cuomo said Tuesday.

Governor Cuomo has been shaking down New York taxpayers leading to mass outmigration. Now, he’s found a way to punish taxpayers who don’t even live in New York State. Their only crime, spending more than 14 days in New York saving lives.

In true Cuomo fashion, he continues to blame everyone else for his administrations’ runaway spending and bloated state budget. This is no way to treat individuals who sacrificed their own health to protect New York residents.

Communist China’s Cover-up

 United States Government officials have reason to believe the Communist Party of China covered up the deadly extent of COVID-19, allowing themselves to stockpile much needed medical supplies, knowing how contagious and easily spread the disease was.

A report released by the Department of Homeland Security Intelligence last week concludes leaders of China’s Communist Party “intentionally concealed the severity” of the pandemic.

The report goes on to say China also delayed critical information to the World Health Organization while their orders and imports of protective masks, plastic gloves and surgical gowns grew at a rapid rate.

The United States and China have been at odds over the coronavirus epidemic as the U.S. and other countries continue to investigate China’s downplaying of the virus and failure to properly notify world leaders.

While the Chinese government insists they have been transparent, Beijing continues to be adamantly opposed to an independent international inquiry into COVID-19.

The Coronavirus brought the world to its knees and as we continue to rebuild our global economy following the shutdown, it is imperative the Chinese government cooperate with investigators to get to the bottom of what happened and work to prevent future health pandemics.

Cuomo’s Department of Labor Leaving New Yorker’s Stranded

 New York residents have been holding up their end of the bargain since the beginning of the states shutdown. They’ve closed their businesses, stayed home, and distanced themselves from loved ones and friends. Now, it is time New York hold up their end of the deal and deliver the unemployment benefits so many New Yorker’s are still without.

Governor Cuomo’s Department of Labor has failed to provide it’s citizens with much needed funds, while providing very little information as to when businesses can start to open, putting employees back to work.

“Especially troubling is the reality that under current conditions, these claims may be pending for several more weeks. These individuals have already waited, in some cases, months, with little information,” Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay said. “By not getting their money in a timely manner, New York State is failing them,” he added.

Governor Cuomo’s years of financial mismanagement had us ill-prepared for the doomsday type scenario we are currently experiencing with the shutdown of our state economy.  With a budget deficit of more than $13 billion, a state spending 89% more per student than the national average, a Labor Department failing to provide aid to New Yorker’s who are still forced to keep businesses closed and employees home, it is clear this catastrophe is too big for Governor Cuomo.

His reckless spending and failure to get the state budget under control years prior to this crisis, has left New Yorker’s financially crippled, led by an administration who’s only plan appears to be begging Washington for more money.

De Blasio Warns First Responders May Be Laid Off If Bailout Doesn’t Come.

Long Island calls for federal probe into coronavirus deaths at nursing homes; if you agree that a federal investigation is necessary, please sign our petition here.

Yesterday, Gov. Cuomo was surprised that 66% of COVID-19 patients were staying at home and today he said NYC healthcare workers catch coronavirus at below-average rate.  So staying at home doesn’t really help and perhaps the exposure to COVID-19 helps build a better immunity to the virus.  So, the obvious question to Governor Cuomo is:  Why is all of New York State still in lockdown with little hope of it ending soon?

Science and the Constitution say: End the lockdowns.

The Worldwide Lockdown May Be the Greatest Mistake in History.

Over Half of U.S. Counties Have Had No COVID-19 Deaths.

Now we know why Gov. Cuomo keeps stressing in his daily briefings that no one knew that COVID-19 came to New York via Europe and that closing down flights from China did not stop COVID-19 (ultimately trying to deflect blame back to President Trump while attempting to lay out a defense for him and reluctantly to de Blasio.)

While expensive, this is the next must have for every hospital.  I wonder if George Soros, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg would be willing to purchase some for nursing homes and hospitals.  Perhaps, since Gov. Cuomo said today that “all human life has the same value” and we must “protect human life” he would consider having his campaign fund make a donation so some nursing homes can purchase some, or host a fundraiser with all proceeds going to the purchase of some for nursing homes.  I think it is the least he can do considering how many human lives have been lost in nursing homes under his watch.

You Can Observe a Lot by Just Watching.

Mr. Mayor:  why dodge the question?   De Blasio dodges questions on using coronavirus crisis to overhaul schools.  Unless, of course, you believe that Richard Carranza’s message to NYC kids: Working hard is for suckers is a good message to send to our youth.  (Knowing your history, you do.)

Cuomo encourages voters use absentee ballots as judge reinstates New York Democratic presidential primary, but, it may not happen since New York state appeals ruling requiring it to hold June Democratic primary.

Workers Are Asking to Be Laid Off, Because COVID-19 Unemployment Benefits Pay Better than Work.

Words of wisdom from Walter E. Williams.

I will say this much for Governor Andrew Cuomo, he certainly emulates his father’s gift of public speaking.  However, when you listen to his pressers every day, the condescending double talk takes its toll.  When his father used to address the press, one would walk away and say, what did he just say? He had a habit of saying something then in the next paragraph contradict what he said in the previous paragraph.  Andrew Cuomo has long called for an end of politics during the COVID-19 crisis, yet his daily pressers continue to be totally political.  Watch today’s presser here.  (Today’s presser also states, again, that the administration had/has alternatives to COVID-19 patients being readmitted to nursing homes…not what the DOH indicated in the March 25 memo.  The Governor is certainly good at deflecting blame and quick to set the “facts” to fit his narrative of the day.)

Gov. Cuomo’s hubris in stating that New York’s budget wasn’t a problem prior to COVID-19 typical of his sidetracking any issue he may be responsible for not doing well.  The fact, Gov. Cuomo, is that New York was facing a $6 billion shortfall.  Now due to COVID-19 (including some unnecessary spending by your administration) NY is facing a $13 billion deficit.  You expect the federal government to subsidize this deficit and say they are being irresponsible for not doing so.  Quick question Governor, where is the federal government supposed to get the money from?  The current  National Debt Clock shows the US is rapidly approaching $25 trillion in national debt including $3.1 trillion in national debt (mostly, I believe from the COVID-19 spending.)  So, Governor Cuomo, is the federal government just supposed to print more money for the states that haven’t managed their budgets well?  In other words, give NY money so I can continue to be a savior and not make any cuts I don’t want to.

A piece of advice for Gov. Cuomo and every other proponent of keeping the lockdown in place, please read Rich Lowry’s op-ed in today’s New York Post.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s says no region of NY ready to reopen under safety rules.  (Perhaps when he and Chris played football as kids, Andrew was Lucy and Chris was Charlie Brown; in his grown-up role he is still Lucy and all the residents of NY are Charlie Brown.)

Every day brings more heart wrenching news:  Additional 1,700 Coronavirus Deaths Reported in New York State Nursing Homes.  New York state cannot investigate this on-going tragedy.  If you agree with us, please sign our petition calling on AG William Barr to initiate a federal investigation.

I stand by what I said in an earlier blog post:  Gov. Cuomo and the Department of Labor dropped the ball when they knew New York was going on lockdown.  The DOL was completely unprepared, a simple, give us two weeks to get up to speed would have saved the stress that is still ongoing for those who need to buy groceries, medicine, pay rent and bills.

Yancy Roy writes in Newsday How the COVID-19 virus has impacted New York state finances.  “If he moves to reduce spending, Cuomo’s financial plan suggests a 10% cut for state agencies; and an $8.2 billion cut in direct “aid to localities” — a broad category that includes K-12 education, higher education, transportation/public transit and health care/Medicaid.”  We believe every area of government will be forced to reduce their spending – raising taxes is the last thing New York can afford to do.  With that being said, we believe first responders, including law enforcement, fire and EMT’s should have the least number of cuts as their primary responsibility is to protect the lives of our citizens.

Biden Asleep on the Job

 There has been much speculation surrounding the health of Joe Biden, speculation the DNC seems willing to ignore. Time and time again, Biden has exhibited clear signs of cognitive decline, failing to remember simple names, going off on odd rants, and forgetting thoughts mid sentence.

Earlier this week in an interview with Hillary Clinton, The former Vice President appeared to fall asleep as Clinton was endorsing his 2020 Presidential campaign.

While it falls squarely on the shoulders of a medical professional to evaluate Biden, it is very fair to question his condition, and request proof of a clean bill of health from the man who could very well be the leader of the free world.

President Trump’s health has often been a topic of discussion, even though he has never showed any sign of cognitive or physical decline.  Calls from the left have never ceased and  insist on doctors giving reports on his annual physical examination.  Requests are always granted by the administration and a clean bill of health is always delivered by White House doctors.

Mainstream media has, once again, developed a new set of rules for President Trump and everyone else. Responsible journalists would take the information we have and request Joe Biden show he is physically up to the challenge of being President of The United States.

Reopening New York

 We still have no clear idea as to when our state will begin it’s reopening at any level. While local and state government has acknowledged we are close to a region relaxation of restrictions, no clear plan has been laid out.

New York City is now in position to potentially have a $9.7 billion loss in tax revenue, while at the same time dealing with nearly 500,000 lost jobs.

New York City’s Independent Budget Office estimates a $2.9 billion revenue loss for the remainder of 2020, and a $6.7 billion loss for the fiscal year 2021.

State counties outside of NYC could see a cumulative  $2 billion in sales tax revenue losses. The state continues to estimate a sales tax revenue loss of between $10 and $15 billion.

This is certainly unwelcomed news as New York State was already starring down the barrel of a $16 billion budget deficit.

We must allow regions of New York not as effected by COVID-19 to open quickly and safely.

Governor Cuomo’s plan to open with only construction and manufacturing jobs in upstate will not suffice. Small businesses are hurting and many will not survive another 1 or 2 months closed. There is a recovery effort each business will undergo even as they are allowed to reopen their doors. Delaying this further could result in their permanent closing.

Conservative Party Petitions for AG William Barr to Investigate New York’s Nursing Home Crisis

What has transpired in New York nursing homes is nothing short of horrendous, irresponsible, and represents failed leadership to say the least.

“I don’t know where their head is, it could be up their butt,” former U.S. Senator Al D’Amato said of NY Health Department commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker.

3,500 nursing home deaths have been reported throughout New York State.

D’Amato, now a lobbyist and large fundraiser for Governor Cuomo, doesn’t believe the numbers coming out of his administration, “It’s higher, believe me, “ he said.

It is unconscionable that COVID-19 infected patients where allowed into nursing homes already full of our most vulnerable population with underlying health issues.

An investigation is needed and we are calling on that loud and clear today.

Please read and sign the petition here.
