“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
The Daily Signal takes a good look at USMCA, the revised NAFTA.
Joseph Curl writes in the Washington Times how the Democrats’ case against Kavanaugh is falling apart fast. And Mr. Curl’s article does not even touch what Paul Sperry exposes in his article that can be found in Real Clear Investigations. Mr. Sperry’s article, based on facts, how, for example renovation records undercut Dr. Ford’s exit door account, is an eye opener. Then there is this: Ford’s Ex-Boyfriend Contradicts Her on Polygraph.
The really desperate character assassination of Brett Kavanaugh continues, as the Washington Times reveals that Scott Dworkin, a co-founder of the Democrat Coalition, filed two ethics complaints with the federal circuit court where Kavanaugh currently sits.
Yet another Cuomo crony headed to the hoosegow. With Cuomo’s cronies looking at doing time and Gov. Cuomo doing all he can to be reelected, including using mailers and ads to vilify his opponents, maybe we should start calling him Teflon Andy.
James Pierson, writes on Citizenship and the Census, in the City Journal. With 17 states, several cities and civil liberty coalitions trying to stop a question about citizenship status on the next census, it is a good perspective on the history involved in asking about citizenship when taking the mandatory census.
Kudos to President Donald J. Trump – ANOTHER campaign promise delivered — USMCA replaces NAFTA. When are the Democrats going to stop the “Resistance” that only seeks to divide America, keep Americans dependent on government and lusts for destroying the America based on life, liberty and the pursuit of freedom, the “unalienable rights” granted to its citizens by their Creator. Shame on New York’s Senators Schumer and Gillibrand, for being leaders in this pathetic self-serving, narcissistic display of vindictive and destructive power.
Governor Andrew Cuomo is quite similar in his quest to be re-elected next month. As City and State points out in an article by Zack Williams, Cuomo statements that haven’t held up, and shows 4 examples how Gov. Cuomo has been proven to stretch the facts to his liking.
One issue dominated the news this week and depending on where you get your news from you most likely will be influenced by their reporting of the continued Kavanaugh Hearings. The Washington Post headline – charges and denials fuel an emotional hearing as Kavanaugh nomination hangs in the balance – begins with “The most consequential Supreme Court opening in a generation gave rise to the most bitter Senate hearing in memory Thursday, as California professor Christine Blasey Ford accused Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when both were teenagers and Kavanaugh angrily assailed Democrats for pushing what he said were false charges to “blow me up and take me down.” It was an emotional hearing – a hearing based on emotion, not a discussion of corroborated facts which are necessary to make sound decisions.
If your newspaper of choice is the New York Times you will be reminded that the hearing “was a spectacle of tantrums, tears, preening and political ambition — what Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, called, “Sadly one of the most shameful chapters in the history of the United States Senate.” (The political ambitions of the Democrats on the Judicial Committee are conveniently omitted.) Yahoo News described it as a “partisan fistfight” and that “the charged atmosphere in the room was heightened by Kavanaugh himself, who delivered what has to rank among the most combative testimony ever heard in a congressional hearing room.”
Unless you were able to watch the Hearings yourself, what you read and hear on the radio, will undoubtedly influence how you judge what took place in Washington, DC yesterday. C-Span has yesterday’s Hearing broken down into segments here for you to watch at your convenience, unfiltered by the bias of major news organizations.
Our first poll question wants to know what you think is the most outrageous accusation against Brett Kavanaugh.
Lindsey Graham’s frustration with the lack of forthrightness from Sen. Diane Feinstein was apparent in his allotted time.
Let’s not forget what Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) said “I just want to say to the men in this country: Just shut up and step up. Do the right thing, for a change.” She believes that Dr. Ford has a very credible story, yet not one person was willing to come forward to corroborate it.
Sen. Cory Booker wanted to know if Brett Kavanaugh thought Dr. Ford was a “political operative” instead of a victim of sexual assault.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand Slams GOP Senators as “Patronizing Bullies” in her effort to prevent Brett Kavanaugh from becoming a Supreme Court Justice.
This leads us to our second poll question that wants to know whose behavior was the most shameful.
The New York Sun has a factual editorial on the time has come to confirm Kavanaugh and the New York Post says It’s time for senators to vote on whom they believe.
Did you know that Gov. Andrew Cuomo is calling for Brett Kavanaugh to take a polygraph test? Be careful what you wish for Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Maybe Gov. Cuomo should be asked while taking a polygraph if he knew convicted Joe Percoco was using government resources in 2014. How about also asking him about Crystal Run healthcare.

The Judicial Committee is halfway through today’s witnesses. Read Dr. Ford’s testimony, as reported by Fox News, here. While there are gaps in Dr. Ford’s memory, most believe she was credible…questions remain, but I would venture to say less than before. Judge Kavanaugh has yet to give his testimony as this is being written.
Seth Barron has a very good article in the City Journal that should be read by every person who plans to vote in November. The article is about New York’s Junior Senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, and spells out how she has no regard for the truth. We encourage you to circulate the article and we urge you to get involved in Chele Chiavacci Farley campaign and remove this modern-day Madam Defarge from the US Senate.
The Beat looks at a charity connected to the Kennedy family has announced it will cover the bail costs of women and juveniles in city jails, regardless of the severity of the charges against them.
In case you missed Chairman Long on Focus on the State Capitol yesterday, you can listen to it here. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle went in-depth on Chairman Long’s re-election as State Chairman. You can read it here.
Up until today, I was not aware that a gentleman, Brandon Straka, headed up the #WalkAway movement. To be honest, I wasn’t even aware of the #WalkAway movement and I follow a lot of newspapers and news outlets. Then I read about Brandon Straka in the Daily Signal and learned that the main stream media was completely opposed to what Mr. Straka was trying to accomplish. Here is the Daily Signal article that introduced me to Mr. Straka and #WalkAway and hope that his October 26-28 March in Washington, DC is so successful that the main stream media has to report that the #WalkAway movement is a phenomenon they cannot understand; but most Americans embrace.
NYS Comptroller Tom DiNapoli makes excuses to the Glens Falls Post Star claiming that his office lacks oversight when it comes to seeing if the program goals are being met. He is a product of the NYS Assembly and is not willing to ruffle the feathers of his former colleagues; he would rather have a few editorial board meetings and say that he is unable to get the legislation needed to give his office back the oversight it once had. Shame on him! Purely political statements in an election year. Why has he been silent on this issue? Especially when CNBC is asking the question – where are the solar roofs? It is long past the time to elect a real NYS Comptroller. Here is another eyebrow raising article on what goes on in the comptroller’s office. Check out Jonathan Trichter’s page on our website, to review his press releases on how he would run the comptroller’s office.
National Review writes that mass human cloning may soon be upon us. To say this is controversial is an understatement, yet according to the article, other than some government funding restrictions, scientists are generally ethically bound only by their own consciences. Need we say more?
In case you missed this over the weekend. Most people who serve for the right reasons and have the best interest of their constituents at the forefront would never consider firing a man that most consider has intense personal integrity. Even de Blasio’s allies blast the Mayor over his plot to fire Mark Peters.
The Beat reminds us how much homelessness is costing taxpayers in New York City…the rise under the de Blasio Administration is out of control: $1.3 billion to $3 billion and no let up in sight.
“Andrew Cuomo was sentenced today — he just doesn’t have to do the time,” said Marc Molinaro of the punishment handed down for Andrew Cuomo’s brother-from-another-mother, best friend, right-hand man and confidante Joe Percoco, who we are expected to believe acted without the knowledge or approval of the governor he served.
As the New York Post puts it, “If the gov’s telling the truth, that he had no idea what his aide was up to, then it just shows how little Cuomo cares about monitoring such behavior — and about Albany’s pay-to-play sleaze in general.”
Here are the first two questions in our new Weekly Poll, both inspired by all this Cuomo/Percoco corruption:
1. Do you think Joe Percoco’s six-year sentence is fair and adequate?
2. How much do you think Andrew Cuomo knew about Percoco’s corrupt actions?
I look forward to seeing what you think about this sordid mess.
Talk about chutzpah – the Percoco family wants to keep some of their ill-gotten gains, which Joe liked to describe as “ziti” in a reference to “The Sopranos” – tellingly, a popular TV show about the mafia. What TV or movie title do you think best describes his situation now? That’s the third and final question in our new Weekly Poll – have some fun with it!
It seems like the only other news story this week was the outrageous treatment of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, and these proceedings send a clear message to all conservatives: “We will do whatever it takes to destroy you.”
The New York Sun editorial opines on Kavanaugh and the ‘Benefit of the Doubt’. It is good to be reminded of former Senator Joe Biden’s words and when the Democrats once believed in fairness.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the ultra- progressive, essentially wants to let the federal government control every business decision. This is what National Review thinks of her Accountable Capitalism Act: Socialist and Unconstitutional.
With the road block the accuser is calling for – an FBI Investigation when you can’t even remember when and where the party took place, it seems to me that it will be very hard for the FBI to investigate and then what will Dr. Christine Blasey Ford do.
The Heartland Institute writes that Medicaid for all would be a fiscal nightmare. There will be a lot of legislators that should be required to read the report, beginning with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
