    Are the wheels falling off the Jochul campaign? Her incredible screw ups and general lack of competence are becoming clearer by the day. Her choice of a lt. Governor left something to be desired, as she picked someone strategy under criminal investigation as her running mate. Her attempt to gerrymander the state legislature fell apart today when the New York Court of Appeals declared it unconstitutional. How bad must a plan be that even a court made up exclusively of Democratic Totalitarians struck it down. The plan to replace the football stadium has turned into the proverbial turd in the punch bowl, disliked even by upstaters, make that especially by upstaters, who one would think are it’s strongest supporters.

    I would not be surprised if the Stadium deal is the final nail in her coffin..the biggest screw up of her career ... 2nd..is her failure to make right the bail reform idiocy that is feeding the increased violence problem... which will cost her the election!

    Think if she ran for governor the same political group would still support and endorse her?

    So Jochul has announced that she plans to turn New York into an abortion mill for America. Rumors are she plans to change New Yorks’s motto from “the Empire State” to “the Abortion State”. And change the state slogan from “ I Love New York” to “New York State: You rape ‘em, we scrape ‘em ; you f*ck ‘em, we suck ‘em. No fetus can beat us!”

    What a horrible thing to be pushing. Personally I don't care either way because it doesn't effect me. To be known as the abortion capital of the USA is my opinion is bad bad karma. Do what you want but don't expect any of my tax money to go to have it done.

    Wait until NY State gets into the baby harvesting business - what do you think happens to all of those abortion parts? Fresh baby organs, young blood full of rich T-cells, and the real golden egg - embryonic stem cells - you think she won't cash out?!?

    It's what Planned Parenthood discussed in private and it's what happens behind closed doors on the black market. If you don't think it could happen here, you're being naive. The NIH is even using our tax dollars to issue grants in support of ...

    As New York stands at the national forefront of the pro-choice fight, we must ensure that these services are adequately supported so that no one is boxed out of care due to strained resources.

    All I know is that the Democratic Totalitarians haven’t been this outraged since Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans freed their slaves!

    One of the major problems that the Democratic Totalitarians have, in addition to their racist policies, is that their leadership is just plain stupid. Long before Pres Sh*ts began to suffer from senile dementia he was simply an idiot. He graduated in the bottom 10% of his class at Syracuse law school and he had to cheat his way there! It’s a pity that more New Yorkers don’t get to meet Jochul in person and get to look into her eyes…the “room for rent” sign is clearly visible. Her latest advice is that all the Republicans in New York move to Florida. Uh, hey Kickback Kathy, they already are…along with thousands of titular members of the Democratic Totalitarian party, thousands of independents…thousands of New Yorkers of all types who are fed up with her pro-crime, pro-murder, pro tax hike, anti-middle class, elitist values. Perhaps that’s why the Bureau if the Census reduced the population count for New York State by 700,000 after the complete review of the 2020 census. I laughed out loud when I saw that the moron who is the mayor of NYC ‘threatened” to start busing New Yorkers to Texas. Ah, don’t look now stupid but New Yorkers are already leaving for Texas in droves because it provides opportunity. But go ahead anyhow, maybe some of them will thank you for the free bus ride on the way out.

    LEE ZELDIN says he will restore law and order to fight increased crime AND, he will open up fracking to lower taxes and provide jobs.

    Hang on to your hats folks. With 5 months to work on it, the sluggards who work for Jochul delivered their documents for review to the Bills 1 week before the deadline for signature of them. Meanwhile, little Marky Poloncarz did nothing with his end of the deal for over 3 months and is now hopelessly behind. Remember, this is same jerkoff that took days, often weeks, to notify residents that they were positive Covid, an inaction that almost certainly led to avoidable illnesses in Erie County. In just over 50 days the Bills can begin negotiations with other cities.

    Kathy Jochul buys in bulk - Pays Twice as Much - but Gets Hefty Donation from Vender



    ALBANY — Is Kathy Hochul's administration just inept? Or do we have a real and serious scandal on our hands?

    Those questions, among others, come to mind in light of the governor's shockingly bad deal with major campaign donor Digital Gadgets, as revealed in a series of reports by Times Union investigative reporter Chris Bragg. For those who haven't kept up with the details, let's start with a quick synopsis.

    Last November, Digital Gadgets CEO Charles Tebele and his wife together donated nearly $50,000 to Hochul, a Democrat. Prior to that, neither had donated to her gubernatorial campaign in any significant way.

    That same month, on the 26th, Hochul declared a COVID-19 disaster emergency that, among other steps, suspended the normal competitive bidding process for pandemic-related expenses, including state comptroller oversight. In other words, Hochul's administration suddenly had unchecked authority over COVID-19 supply purchasing.

    About a month later, five days before Christmas, Hochul's administration agreed to purchase 26 million tests from Digital Gadgets for $13 a test — roughly double the per-test price being offered by other distributors and approximately twice what the state of California paid for the very same tests. In January, New York bought 26 million more tests from Digital Gadgets, also at a considerably inflated price.

    The total cost: $637 million.

    Of course, a purchaser usually gets a hefty discount when buying in such large amounts, but New York didn't — quite the opposite, actually — costing the state hundreds of millions of dollars. There's no evidence the state even tried to negotiate a lower price with Digital Gadgets, a New Jersey distributor best known as a wholesaler of, strangely enough, hoverboards.

    Tebele must have appreciated the generosity because he and his wife went on a Febuary-to-March donation spree that maxed out the nearly $150,000 they were together allowed to give under state law. In May, though, six of Tebele's relatives also donated to Hochul. Most had no history of donating to New York elections.

    Nobody has to wonder why they were suddenly interested in state politics or had so quickly been convinced of Hochul's attributes.

    In total, Bragg tracked down roughly $300,000 in donations to Hochul from Tebele and family members, plus whatever more was raised at a fundraiser Tebele threw for the governor in April.

    “Kick Back” Kathy - “unprecedented deposits in a rainy day reserve” she said…



    Gov. Hochul gave herself nearly $1 billion for a slush fund in this summer’s state budget, with no restrictions on what projects or groups she could spend the money on. It allowed her to hand out cash with no review by the Legislature.

    Critics claim she has used the enormous amount of taxpayers’ cash in an unethical bid to buy votes or control political groups in the forthcoming election against Republican Lee Zeldin.

    The governor and her Democratic allies in the Legislature added the $920 million worth of outlays to the $220.5 billion fiscal plan in an 11th-hour move in April that government watchdogs warn is wide open to abuse.

    “These slush funds are totally unaccountable. It’s not how public dollars should be doled out,” senior policy adviser Rachael Fauss of Reinvent Albany said Friday.

    Another nonpartisan nonprofit, the Citizens Budget Commission, said the cash “will go to projects and purposes that primarily will be identified behind closed doors.”

    As such, they are ripe for political allocation rather than a distribution based on sound, holistic capital planning that addresses critical infrastructure needs,” the CBC wrote in a July analysis.

    The group also noted that the $535 million poured into two of three “lump sum” spending programs — the Long Island Investment Fund and the Local Community Assistance Program — can be spent “for essentially any purpose” and “isn’t subject to any agreement with the Legislature.”

    In recent weeks, Hochul announced two expenditures that squarely targeted the Long Island home base of Zeldin, an outgoing, four-term US representative.

    One provided $50 million in funding for a competition to “attract and grow companies in the life sciences, health technology and medical device sectors” on Long Island. The other awarded a $10 million grant to the Northwell Health network’s Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research for 26 new, state-of-the-art laboratories in Manhasset.

    Hochul touted both initiatives on the state’s official website, which also says that “the Long Island Investment Fund will focus on large-scale projects that will support and grow the regional economy, enhance communities, and have lasting impacts across the Long Island region.”

    And on Sept. 27, Hochul was joined at a news conference about the Feinstein Institutes funding by state Sen. Anna Kaplan (D-Carle Place), who faces Republican Jack Martins, a former state senator, in a race that’s expected to be close due to local outrage over New York’s controversial bail-reform law.

    “ Kathy Hochul hasn’t simply blurred the line between governing and campaigning — she’s completely erased it,” remarked state Senate Minority Leader Will Barclay (R-Fulton).

    “New York has the least transparent budget process imaginable and what we’re seeing now is a product of creating pools of money with no guidelines whatsoever.”

    In addition to the “lump sum” funding, the CBC identified six “individual purpose” pork projects, including the controversial $600 million earmarked for a new stadium for Hochul’s hometown football team, the Buffalo Bills.



    The governor’s husband, former Buffalo US Attorney Bill Hochul, is a top executive at the Delaware North hospitality and food service company that manages the scores of concession and retail outlets at the Bills’ Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.

    Another project with a direct tie to Hochul is the planned $20 million reconstruction of the Carrier Dome sports stadium at Syracuse University, her alma mater.

    The planned Universal Hip-Hop Museum in the South Bronx and the planned Mohawk Harbor Events Center in Schenectady were awarded $11 million and $10 million in funding, respectively.

    The New York Hall of Science in Corona, Queens, and Pace University’s Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts in Lower Manhattan will also get $10 million and $5 million, respectively, for upgrades.

    The catastrophic effects of Dem leaders like Kathy Hochul not having an agenda
    In its analysis, the CBC said as much as $1.2 billion of the spending could be financed by bonds that would “consume” the state’s ability to issue debt and potentially prevent it from financing other, “critical” projects in the future.

    Several critics compared Hochul’s budgetary maneuvers to those of her widely reviled predecessor, ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who resigned amid a sexual harassment scandal last year.

    “ This is Cuomo crony capitalism 2.0,” said city Council Minority Leader Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island), spokesman for the pro-Zeldin Save Our State political action committee.

    “It’s the same old from the same old Albany crowd. And there’s nothing to address the real issues New Yorkers are concerned about.”

    Said GOP political consultant William O’Reilly: “This is a classic Andrew Cuomo tactic — a pre-election Santa Claus giveaway to key voting constituencies. It costs Gov. Hochul nothing, but it costs taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, all to benefit her reelection drive.”

    “You can’t get much swampier than this,” O’reilly emphasized.

    In an emailed response, Hochul spokesperson Avi Small said, “Gov. Hochul worked with the legislature to craft a fiscally responsible budget, using an influx of federal pandemic relief to make strategic investments in public safety, infrastructure, and tax relief while also making unprecedented deposits in rainy day reserves to protect against future uncertainty
    (Her future uncertainty? )
    - even leading to Moody’s upgrading the state’s credit rating after the budget was passed.”


    A spokesman for the Budget Division said the state had $6 billion in cash available to pay for capital projects, but didn’t immediately respond when asked whether that would cover all of the $1.6 billion in spending cited by the CBC.

    One of the worst kept secrets among Democratic Totalitarians is that Il Douche is doing everything he can to f*ck over Kickback Kathy in the upcoming election. To that end Il Douche’s mouthpiece. Melissa DeRosa, (remember her, she was the one who admitted that Il Douche lied about the number killed in his nursing home slaughter in order to avoid prosecution) stuck a knife in Jochul’s back over the Democratic Totalitarian pro-crime, pro-murder agenda, blaming Hochul for the mass slaughter in the streets, a slaughter for which, both Il Douche and Jochul bear equal responsibility.

    Il Douche and his Mouthpiece Are Now the The Pundit and the Podcaster

    Ex-Cuomo aide DeRosa slams Hochul for failing to address subway crime
    By Carl Campanile and Zach Williams
    October 18, 2022 11:42pm Update




    Disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s former controversial top aide Melissa DeRosa unloaded on Democrat Kathy Hochul Tuesday, accusing the current governor of failing to address subway crime.

    “Voters respond to leadership. And they respond to a lack of leadership. Right now, the silence out of … the governor’s office on subway crime is deafening,” DeRosa said on WABC 770 AM John Catsimatidis’ “Cats at Night Show.”

    DeRosa continued, “The reality is people want to feel safe. That’s their right. Yesterday morning, I saw on the news that somebody was pushed onto the subway track. Thank God the person was rescued. Hochul [then] puts out her schedule, and she says that she’s going to be making a public service announcement. I was actually hopeful, like, finally, they’re going to say something about crime and the MTA. And what does she do? She does a press conference on catalytic converters.”

    The failure of Hochul and the Democrats’ who rule state government to adequately address crime is the reason Republican Lee Zeldin is narrowing the gap with Hochul in recent polls, according to DeRosa, who was a central figure in scandals that helped push Cuomo to resign as governor last year.

    “As we’re getting closer to Election Day, and as crime and the economy continue to be top-of-mind for people….you’re seeing Lee Zeldin pick up steam,” the former secretary to the governor – which is the top appointed position in the state – to Cuomo said.



    By comparison, she said, Democratic incumbent Sen. Chuck Schumer has held a consistent double-digit lead over Republican opponent Joe Pinion, a former Newsmax host.

    DeRosa said lefty politicians like Hochul were “putting their heads in the sand” when it comes to the fears New Yorkers have about rising crime.

    “Unless the politicians, Hochul specifically … get smart to this … I think they’re going to have an uncomfortably close Election Day,” DeRosa said of Hochul, who she expected would still beat Zeldin this November.

    “It’s more what Hochul isn’t saying…. She has been completely absent from the conversation, almost as if she has absolutely nothing to do with it. The reality is nobody cares if the train is on time if you’re worried about getting shot on the train,” she said.

    “When there are really big problems, politicians have a tendency to duck them when they think they can’t solve them … But this is one that is not going away.”

    Hochul’s office and campaign declined to comment Tuesday night.

    “We have been laser-focused on fighting crime since my first day in office working closely with the mayor [Eric Adams]. The mayor and the police department are responsible for policing the city subways, but we have offered our full support, whether it’s people with mental health problems and embedding state teams with the local teams,” Hochul told reporters Monday while defending her record on crime.


    Gov. Kathy Hochul has not made many comments about transit crime, according to DeRosa.

    Hochul also took credit for the plan to install video cameras on the subways “so people have that sense of security, adding, “so we’ll continue to be strong partners with Mayor Adams and our efforts to make sure people know that our subways continue to be safe.”

    Hochul became governor after Cuomo resigned last year under the threat of impeachment amid allegations of sexual misconduct that he has denied.

    DeRosa has reemerged in the public eye in recent months as a political pundit while her former boss attempts a comeback of his own as a podcaster following tumultuous events last year that drove them both from Albany.

    During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, DeRosa played a major role as secretary to the governor in the state’s response to it, including the administration’s alleged cover-up of nursing-home COVID-19 deaths.



    As The Post exclusively reported in February 2021, DeRosa privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers for withholding the state’s COVID-19 nursing home death toll from them — admitting “we froze” out of fear that the true numbers would “be used against us” by federal prosecutors.

    DeRosa, along with Cuomo, is a defendant in a class action wrongful death suit filed on behalf of nursing home residents who contracted COVID-19 in facilities. Critics claimed a Cuomo administration edict that required nursing homes to accept recovering COVID-19 patients from hospitals contributed to infections and deaths of residents there, which the governor and state health officials disputed.
