“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
We have been unusually busy today with filing the aftermath of filing a lawsuit challenging the newly formed Financing Commission’s to change and/or abridge state law. If you are on our email list, you have already received our press release, if not, you can read it here. Here are just two of the articles regarding the lawsuit: the Times Union, the NY Daily News.
Ken Girardin writes about Gov. Cuomo’s incredible wind-power pander in The Torch.
We hope you were all able to find some relief from the oppressive heat this weekend, unfortunately parts of Brooklyn suffered another blackout, despite Gov. Andrew Cuomo ranting on the terrible service that Con Ed is providing. Crain’s New York Business rightfully points out in a July 18 article that Gov. Andrew Cuomo really should rethink his ranting since it has been the Governor who has “repeatedly made political decisions that have reduced the reliability of New York’s energy infrastructure.” Governor Cuomo, perhaps you should rethink your bullying of Con Ed and apologize to New Yorkers.
Meanwhile, Mayor de Blasio offers no solutions and a lot of Hot Air.
Can’t help but agree with the statement that the NY campaign finance panel is already tainted with Jay Jacobs being appointed to serve on it. However, we are strongly opposed to the notion that campaigns should have public financing. The Auburn Citizen should do an in-depth analysis of New York City’s Campaign Financing and they let us know if they still think that is the solution to incumbents being elected. Seems to me the only time you have a change on the NYC Council, is when the incumbents’ term is up. Term limits should be one of the solutions.
How come all the loud-mouth Hollywood types who do little to truly help deserving Americans get all the attention, and a man like Gary Sinise is almost ignored completely? Kudos to Gary Sinise and the others who do not blow their own horn when they do good things.
New York City is more filthy than ever under the stewardship of Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio, as all the gains achieved by former law-and-order Republican Mayor Rudy Giuliani have been nullified.
Complaints regarding rat infestations have spiked dramatically in recent years, from 12,617 in 2014 to 17,353 last year. The Upper West Side has logged the most complaints, as even the wealthiest of the city are not insulated from these verminous pests.
Mismanagement from de Blasio’s government is causing much of the problem. The New York City Department of Sanitation removed 110 trash cans from the Upper West Side over the last year, causing a trash overflow that has resulted in a feeding frenzy for rodents.
“In the past year, we removed bins in this district because they did not fit the criteria or were being chronically misused,” said Sanitation Department press secretary Dina Montes to the USA Today.
This bright idea from the de Blasio regime has resulted in a major public health crisis that is only worsening. Add this to the massive list of follies and failures from one of the nation’s most reviled mayors.
DEMOCRATS CRY FOUL OVER TRUMP’S TWEETS
The Democratic Party and their partners in the fake news media have created a phony controversy over a series of tweets made by President Donald Trump, which put anti-American liberal radicals such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) in their places.
“Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries who governments are a complete and total catastrophe” are “now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful nation on earth, how our government is to be run,” Trump said in his tweets.
“Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough,” Trump added.
“Every single member of this institution, Democratic and Republican, should join us in condemning the president’s racist tweets. To do anything less would be a shocking rejection of our values and a shameful abdication of our oath of office to protect the American people,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said.
Meanwhile, most Democrats are completely silent about the ANTIFA terrorist who echoed the sentiments of Ocasio-Cortez to justify his rampage at a migrant detention center in Tacoma, WA last weekend. It is clear that the Democrats care do not care much about keeping America safe, only scoring cheap political points by whining about nonexistent racism.
STUPIDITY: CUOMO SIGNS BILL BANNING “HAIR DISCRIMINATION”
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo never misses an opportunity to placate the childish demands of the entitled victim groups that make up the base of the modern radicalized Democratic Party.
Cuomo signed Assembly Bill 7797 into law last week to ban so-called “hair discrimination” against people of color. There is now a law on the books prohibiting “race discrimination based on natural hair or hairstyles,” as political correctness takes us one more step closer into full-blown idiocracy.
This legislation is designed to protect the feelings of African-American women, who social justice warriors claim are pressured by societal beauty standards into changing their natural hair. This new law is designed to break that stigma and fight follicle oppression.
“For much of our nation’s history, people of color — particularly women — have been marginalized and discriminated against simply because of their hair style or texture,” Cuomo said in a press release about the legislation.
“By signing this bill into law, we are taking an important step toward correcting that history and ensuring people of color are protected from all forms of discrimination,” he added.
Expect many junk lawsuits based on this new infringement upon private business owners, as diversity hustlers exploit the pandering nature of Cuomo and other Democratic politicians to make a fast buck.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
The multinational corporation Nike hates the country that made it into one of the most iconic brands in the world. They axed their patriotic sneaker series featuring a Betsy Ross flag emblem because washed up former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick told them it was racist.
Nike now takes orders from Kaepernick, a scam artist who has made millions based off of social justice hysteria. The Betsy Ross flag contains 13 stars in a circle with 13 red and white stripes to signify the original colonies represented during the founding of the United States. It is American as apple pie, which is why the anti-American communist Kaepernick hates it so much.
Patriotic GOP Senators Josh Hawley of Missouri and Ted Cruz of Texas are expressing their disdain with Nike as a result of their pathetic decision. Arizona Governor Doug Ducey announced his state will be yanking economic incentives for the corporation. Conservatives would be wise to boycott their products as well.
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ SINKS TO NEW LOWS
Radical socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is waging an all-out war against border patrol, as she hopes to demonize our nation’s heroes who are dealing with a national emergency spiraling out of control at the U.S. Southern border that the Democrats denied existing for many weeks.
Reports indicate that Ocasio-Cortez threw a tantrum outside of a migrant detainment center in Texas, screaming “in a threatening manner” toward federal officials, and refused to tour the inside of the facility. This didn’t stop her for posing for a photo op afterward.
“I see why CBP officers were being so physically &sexually threatening towards me,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a Tweet.
“Officers were keeping women in cells w/ no water & had told them to drink out of the toilets,” she added, providing no evidence for her assertion.
Patriotic Republican Congressman Chip Roy of Texas called Ocasio-Cortez out for her dishonest demonization of border agents who work hard under tough conditions to protect the country from the Soros-funded invasion from the third world.
“I’m calling bullsh*t. And if there were one (unacceptable of course) example of an agent even suggesting such a thing, he or she would be removed,“ Roy responded to Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter.
“If there is a hint of evidence of this – please share it with me ASAP. But be specific, else stop the blatant attacks of our law enforcement overwhelmed because you and your Democrat colleagues refuse to acknowledge the crisis,” he added in a subsequent tweet.
The Democrats’ war on the rule of law, and America’s national sovereignty has reached a fever pitch. They will only get more insane and desperate, led by bimbos like AOC, heading into 2020.
NEW YORK CITY IS AMONG COUNTRY’S WORST-RUN CITIES THREE YEARS STRAIGHT
Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s unpopular leadership has turned New York City into a laughing stock, and the rest of the country is taking notice.
A study from WalletHub showed that New York City ranks among the worst-run cities in the nation for a third straight year. De Blasio’s leadership failed in terms of financial stability, education, infrastructure and pollution, health, safety and economy to put his city back on the list, as he is recognized widely as one of America’s worst mayors.
New York placed 146th out of 150 of the cities ranked on the list, which is actually an improvement from their ranking of 148 in the past two years. Perhaps de Blasio being away so much while campaigning for his pointless vanity run for the presidency is what helped the city improve its score.
Yale Law School professor David Schliecher blames de Blasio’s strict housing regulations for the city ranking so poorly.
“In many rich cities like San Francisco and New York, local governments have used their regulatory powers to make it difficult for private developers to build enough housing to meet demand,” Schliecher said.
But don’t expect de Blasio to change course, as he cannot even get out of bed promptly to appear on a television interview. New York City will remain in dire shape until he is termed out of office in 2021.
CONGRATULATIONS TO NEW REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN NICK LANGWORTHY!
The Conservative Party of New York State would like to send our warm welcome and congratulations to newly named Chairman Nick Langworthy.
We look forward to working with him in the fight against Governor Andrew Cuomo, and in the many battles ahead to retake the State Senate.
The Green New Deal is getting old to everyone but AOC and the progressive presidential candidates. The Green New Deal is government intervention where government is not needed, welcomed or required.
Bob McManus opines on the grand swindle of ‘progress’ in the city’s public schools.
Westchester residents, if you get your Christmas and Hanukkah shopping done in July, you will probable save a bundle, since Governor Cuomo agrees with Democratic County Executive George Latimer, that Westchester needs an increase in the sales tax percentage to bring it up to 8.375%. It is effective on August 1, 2019. Save money; get you shopping done now.
Jimmy Vielkind writes in the Wall Street Journal (subscription required) about the Progressive Agenda that Members of the Legislature hope to accomplish in the new legislative session. It includes, but certainly not limited to legalizing commercial gestational surrogacy, higher prevailing wages and extending to private construction projects. Chairman Kassar noted that “with Democrats in control of the entire state government, a ‘borderline socialist agenda’ could advance unchecked.” Chairman Kassar also noted that he is already recruiting candidates for the 2020 elections.
This is a very disturbing article; Judith Clark knew the Brink’s robbers were ready to kill. Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo wanted this woman released and she was just in time for Mother’s Day. It is ironic, that a woman who sent all the wrong messages to her daughter, was able to celebrate with her on Mother’s day, while Michael Paige, son of slain Brink’s Guard Peter Paige (who set the right example for Michael) hasn’t celebrate a Father’s Day since 1982 and will never be able to again. Governor Andrew Cuomo wanted her to be paroled and she was. Justice has not been equally served.
