THE RIGHT SIDE

FEBRUARY 20, 2019
SOME LAWS ARE NOT GOOD
The legislative mill continues to grind out bad laws in Albany and the absolute power the Democrats now have is showing that this columnist’s perspective that politics is all about power and money has validity .
Laws are being passed with haste and efficiency because the Republicans have no way of stopping the runaway train, leading us to realize that upstate New York is nothing more than a slum of New York City. We are the subjects to the majority coming from what should be called The Rotten Apple, rather than the Big Apple.
What’s more, the apple is wormy and getting worse. The old story of “what is worse than biting into an apple and finding a worm?” The answer is “biting into the apple and finding half a worm.’‘ The results are leaving a really bad taste in the mouths of upstate residents. It is a stretch to call them citizens, because, from all practical aspects, they have no power in government. At least not on the big issues!
The first thing Governor Andrew Cuomo did to show his power, was to pass an abortion bill that allowed an abortion to be performed at any time, even if the baby would be viable outside the womb. A huge portion of the citizens in upstate are shocked and disgusted by this law, but Cuomo wanted it, the Democrats voted for it, and there was no block to stop them. Now pre-born babies can have their lives terminated legally.
The governor and his crew were so happy about this law they stood up and cheered. Cuomo had the city lights turned on in buildings as if this was a great law. Many disagree with that, but to no avail. Innocent babies will die, or depending on the time frame, the process of their life will end violently.
A group in Western New York will be marketing bumper stickers saying “Abort Cuomo.” We shall see how popular that will be and how many pro-life people will voice their disdain for the governor by reminding people that he insisted that the law be passed, and had to power to make it happen.
The next on his wish list was to attack the law abiding gun owners with an extension of his SAFE Act. One of the laws is the Red Flag Bill where certain people can report a person as being dangerous and have a petition for police to confiscate any and all guns that the person has. An accusation is as good as a conviction because any thought of due process comes after the fact.
If a kid in school is causing a problem for a teacher, she can file a report with this bill and all guns can be confiscated from the home. Even if the parent is a highly responsible person and keeps the guns locked in a safe with only he and the parent having the combination, he still will have to surrender all guns.
There is nothing in the bill that has severe penalties for a person filing a false report and this is a travesty of justice. Yes, there are penalties for filing false reports, but in a case like this there should be a severe penalty closely defined to prevent abuses of a bad law. As it is, the process does not have enough provisions to protect the innocent.
Then, kicking around the Capitol is an attack on the right to privacy. One of the senators wants people to surrender their passwords on social media so the government can spy on them if they wish to apply for a pistol permit. How low can a politician get to sponsor a bill that invades on a person’s privacy and conversations with others? Dictators in foreign countries have found that to be very useful in controlling their people.
Another bill getting publicity is the potential for legalizing marijuana for recreational purposes. As in most political questions looking for an answer it is easy when you ‘’follow the money” and it come up to a published figure in the neighborhood of $300 million. Sounds good from a taxation point of view, but at what cost to society?
It would be good to get commentary from people in “Kids Escaping Drugs” and get their perspective on whether they would have to expand their facilities because of potential problems. Many law enforcement agencies have commented against the legalization of pot.
All agree it is a drug that affects the brain and can, with frequent use, have a negative effect on brain development. Those who use it do it to “relax” and “feel good.” That is fine if they stay home and inhale, but if they do it while driving or operating machinery, there can be severe negative consequences.
The government has commercials taking about giving up cigarettes because of lung cancer and other diseases. They are doing the same thing now about vaping because of the negative health consequences. Inhaling pot has also shown to cause lung and respiratory diseases. But, money is always tempting to politicians.
On balance, medical marijuana does have benefits for pain control and helps people who are prone to seizures and other disabilities. For that, the use can be justified. Beyond that, it needs more study and input. The politicians say they would forbid the smoking for all those under the age of 21. The same rules apply to the consumption of alcohol, but one only has to read about parties involving high school and college students. It seems those under that age don’t seem to care about adhering to the law. They will do it anyway.
Laws should be made for the good of society and to improve the quality of life. They seem to be drifting more and more to benefit the politicians. A philosopher said “laws are made by the people in power, to keep the people in power, in power.” Governor Cuomo and his cronies are a good example of that.

Roger Stone Raid as Described by His Wife
I usually don't post emails that come in. In the lime light of the lower offices in government here is another example of Shock & Awe we have never seen on a Democrat Party Member.
========
MRS. ROGER STONE
Dear Friend,
By now I’m sure you have heard about the terrifying pre-dawn raid on the house in Ft. Lauderdale where I live with my husband Roger Stone.
A little before 6am, twenty-nine assault weapon wielding FBI agents in full tactical gear, and wearing night vision goggles, surrounded our home. Because I am hearing impaired and I was sleeping, I did not hear the commotion when an FBI agent pounded on the door demanding my husband open it. I did not know he had been handcuffed and taken into custody.
I woke up only when two FBI agents burst into our bedroom and demanded that I get out of bed at gunpoint. I was marched out to the street in front of our house wearing only a night gown and in bare feet. I was instructed to stand next to my husband who was handcuffed and also barefooted. I am not charged with any crime.
This has to be the most terrifying thing I have ever experienced, as FBI agents swarmed into our home after announcing they had a search warrant.
My husband has no previous criminal record, not even a speeding ticket. He is charged and pled not guilty to seven non-violent process crimes. We do not own a gun and my husband's passport had actually expired. The idea that he is a danger to anyone or a flight risk was disproved hours later when a federal magistrate released him on a surety bond.
The FBI used twenty nine agents, seventeen vehicles, including two armored vehicles, a helicopter and two amphibious units because our rented home backs onto a canal. Every agent was carrying an AK-47 as well as a sidearm. This is a much larger force than used to capture and kill Bin Laden or arrest El Chapo. It must have cost U.S. taxpayers a half a million dollars. [[bpb note[No doubt the once famous Jack Booted Thug Team as the NRA once portrayed them}}
Even more humiliating, for some odd reason, a CNN camera crew had arrived at our home only fifty minutes before the FBI strike force and was allowed to film the assault on our home and my husband’s arrest. If my husband was considered “dangerous” why was a CNN film crew in position 10 yards from our front door? How convenient that the CNN producer at our home is a former special assistant to FBI director James Comey!
My parents came from Cuba. I can understand how these kind of police state tactics can happen in a communist country, but it is hard to believe that the FBI Director and acting Attorney General would allow this kind of brutal assault on a U.S. citizen with no prior criminal record and charged only with non-violent process crimes here in the United States.
After the FBI took my husband away, I was allowed to dress under the supervision of a woman FBI agent who even had to watch me while I used the bathroom. I was not allowed to touch my cell phone even though I could see that my children and grandchildren were calling to see if I was alright. FBI agents tore through every square inch of our home and removed my husbands computers and iPads. They also took my computer which means they got many beautiful pictures of my grandchildren.
I wasn't allowed to turn on the television so I did not see the angry and hateful mob that gathered outside the federal courthouse in Ft Lauderdale, where I later learned that my husband was placed in hand and foot shackles and held in a holding cell after being fingerprinted and having his mug shot photos taken. The FBI spent seven hours tearing through our house, as well as raiding a storage facility nearby, where they also took a computer and went through financial records that are at least fifteen years old.
Although you would never know it from the fake news media, my husband, Roger Stone is not charged with Russian collusion, Wikileaks collaboration or any other crime associated with the 2016 election. All the charges against him have been fabricated in an obvious effort to pressure him to turn on President Trump, who has been our friend for forty years and who attended our wedding in Washington D.C. 27 years ago. I remember how he danced with my mother.
As my husband has made clear, he simple refuses to make up stories about the President or bear false witness against him in order to please Mr. Mueller, who wants to undo the results of the 2016 election and remove our President.
Two years of constant intense investigation into every aspect of our family, as well as two years of constant leaks from the special councils office, have destroyed our family income.
In December, I cancelled our health and life insurance policies because we could not longer pay the premiums. My husband sold his car even though it was a 2006 model and we didn't get much for it. We burned through a small fund we had put aside from the sale of my husband’s books that was supposed to pay for the college education of our grandchildren.
**HELP US FIGHT BACK AGAINST ROBERT MUELLER**
Now we are facing a two million dollar cost for lawyers in order to fight the bogus charges against my husband, who at 66 years old is facing a potential 45 year prison sentence for crimes he did not commit. Every day brings death threats, late night anonymous phone calls threatening to kill us and it’s gotten so bad I can’t even go to the grocery store without somebody screaming at me and accusing us of being Russian spys, which is funny because my parents fled Cuba and the brutal regime of Fidel Castro... while my husband’s family members were mowed down my Russian tanks in Budapest in 1956.
While Mueller has unlimited tax dollars and a platoon of vicious left wing Ivy League prosecutors to try my husband, we can only depend on people like you to help fund Roger’s legal defense.
Won't you please send a contribution of $25, $50, $100, $250. $500 or $1000 to the Stone Defense Fund today? No amount is too small or too big...
You have been so generous in the past and I hesitate to ask but frankly I have no one else to turn to.
Contribute now... and help my family fight these false charges.
We deeply appreciate the thousands of Americans who are praying for us and supporting our fight against a run-away federal prosecutor bent on destroying my husband simply because he supported Donald Trump for President and helped defeat Hillary Clinton.
I have to begin packing everything we own because we must move into a small apartment which is less expensive and has better security so the days ahead will be busy for me.
The same Obama appointed judge who put Paul Manafort in solitary confinement prior to his being convicted of any crime is now considering issuing a gag order so that my husband can no longer publicly raise money for his legal defense- that’s why it is important that you rush me your answer today.
God Bless You,
-Nydia
P.S. You can see fake news stories online that say my husband and I are wealthy and worth millions of dollars. This is totally false. Roger says these stories are planted in order to make it harder for us to raise money for his legal defense. We urgently need your help again today.

11-87 Basket Case Back Up & Running
Update,
The 11-87 is back up and running with a bit of tinkering & serious deep cleaning. The dent/crease in the recoil spring tube was just enough to stop the follower from passing. So after a few attempts at polishing the bearing surfaces down a tad the shotty now functions a like new.
I tell you it was filthy.
Regards bpb
Jr. Took it apart! Gonna be an expensive repair. SMH
Thanks YouTube!
So who filed the stock,hack sawed the recoil spring tube? To make it worse that it already is the recoil spring tube was set in a vice and dented in. Yea so now the recoil plunger gets stuck appx. 3" up in the tube.
Recoil follower is sticking in the tube. Magazine spring retainer missing.
The magazine tube was so fouled with carbon the gas rings were stuck. Had to Kroll oil and sand the gunk off.

WILL NEW YORK GO TO POT? by Budd Schroeder
Budd is a former NRA Director from Western NY & Past Chairman / Presently Sitting BOD member of SCOPEny.org Budd & I sat on the SCOPE BOD together.
Regards PB
THE RIGHT SIDE
BY BUDD SCHROEDER
JANUARY 23, 2919
WILL NEW YORK GO TO POT?
The legislature is in session and no man's life and property is safe. It is an old saying, but this year it is really a possibility. Cuomo's State Of The State message was definitely not comforting for the taxpayers and those who believe in conservative principles. According to a legislator the budget starts out with a $3 billion deficit. Look for more creative ways for him to draining the working persons pockets.
He want's to spend more money and has creative ways (he says) to raise it. Legalizing marijuana is one way he is counting on. That is making it legal for "recreational purposes." There are several reasons that this is not a good idea. But let's look at the bright side first.
It will create jobs, businesses, and the need for more bureaucrats to rule over it. Fewer arrests will be made which with help the court systems reduce their backlogs. It should stop the street sales of pot which will give law enforcement more time to arrest "real criminals."
There should be no more smuggling to get pot in the state. Could be a trade deal with Canada just to get the supply here to meet the demand. It could give pot farms a really good money crop, but with a deal like this they already have the thought of controlled growing of this cash crop. Jobs for more bureaucrats and another source for taxation.
The real reason could also be a bit more sinister. Anyone who uses pot is automatically breaking a federal law when it comes to firearm ownership. If a person uses marijuana, even if prescribed by a physician, that person may not own a gun. It is considered to be a federal crime and if a person uses it, and wants to buy a gun, they cannot pass a background check.
The 4473 Federal Form specifically asks the question about using marijuana. To answer positively is an automatic denial. If a person says no and it can be proved later that the person lied, that is a federal felony and can result in several years for perjury. Cuomo must really like that. He hates guns and gun owners and this is a really good feeling for him.
There is a rumor (from a reliable source) that Governor Cuomo wants to hire 100 State Troopers who will report directly to him and not be accountable to the Superintendent of State Police. Who know? If that happens, could they be directed to enforce the SAFE Act and the proposed new restrictions?
Could the rumor about him wanting to require people to give up their passwords to their social media sites if they want to get a pistol permit? Maybe the governor doesn't believe in the right of privacy, and free speech along with his disdain for the Second Amendment.
The recertification of pistol permits did not meet with the desired response and there is still a big question that has not been answered. What are they going to those (who seem to be a majority) who didn't comply. Could that be one of the reasons Cuomo wants the extra State Police personnel? We just don't know yet.
Some have wondered if the recertification was a prelude to his desire to register all guns like rifles and shotguns. It would be easy for police to go to everyone who has a hunting license to see if they had complied. We all know that registration leads to confiscation and this would be a good way for him to do it. It worked for a despot named Adolph in the 1930's. He hated the civilian possession of guns, too.
But, back to the subject of marijuana. We know that medical marijuana has benefits for pain and other disorders and under the supervision of a doctor can be beneficial. However, there are some downsides to recreational use.
According to many reports, it is as bad for lungs as tobacco. A big minus considering how many diseases are linked to cigarettes. That is a big financial drain considering the medical costs and early deaths.
As Cuomo explained it, it would be forbidden for people under the age of 21 to smoke it. However, the young people are forbidden to to drink or buy cigarettes if they are under 21. How well is that working out? We know about the parties and the rules are often ignored. With pot being legal, what kind of penalty would be imposed? Who would care?
Another argument is that Prohibition didn't work so why not legalize pot? OK alcohol is also a mind altering substance and the law was a failure so it is again legal. People made wine and moonshine and didn't obey the laws. Now, it is again legal and controlled. It is know that marijuana has been "home grown" in gardens and attics.
However there are other downsides. Marijuana, being a definite mind altering drug has a permanent effect on the brain up to the age of 25 according to other studies. Figuring out that young people will smoke it because it is available and is "cool to do" will make it more popular than it is now.
It is almost a sure bet that people of all ages are not going to sit at home and puff on a joint for "recreation." They will light up between classes and not be in the best frame of mind for serious learning. Many will smoke while driving and operating machinery which can have devastating results.
Perhaps, before the law is passed, it would be a good idea to get all the data from the states that have legalized pot and get the numbers regarding any increases in vehicle accidents, crime, lowering of school achievements or general health negative trends. Then, determine if there is an increase in the use of hard drugs to see if pot is really a gateway to drug addiction.
Then make the determination of whether it is worth making a mind altering drug available and easy to buy. Conservatives hope the law won't pass.

NICS FBI Firearms Enhancements for 4473 Information
Good Afternoon,
Due to an unforeseen issue these enhancements will now be deployed on October 16, 2018. These changes will be implemented across all methods of background check submissions, both NICS E-Check and the NICS Contracted Call Center. Please note the slight change in verbiage for acknowledging the review of the ATF form 4473.
These modifications are to better assist in the background check process. The NICS is a name-based system. When a NICS background check is performed, a match/no match decision has to be made based upon the information available to the system. The more information available for consideration in making a match/no match determination, the more accurate determination can be. It is extremely important that the FFL check the government issued photo Identification provided by the purchaser to ensure that information matches the information supplied by the purchaser on the ATF Form 4473 and that the information is input into the background check with the same accuracy.
· Require the capture of customers full Middle Name
o NICS E-Check users must use “IO” or “NMN” when applicable (example X”IO” for initial only or “NMN” for no middle name)
· Require the capture of a Valid Identification Number in the Miscellaneous Number(s) Field, i.e. Driver’s License Number
o For all Non-US Citizens you will be required to enter both the I94 or AR/USCIS number and a Valid Government Issued Identification Number
· Require the submitting user to attest they have reviewed the ATF Form 4473
o “Do the name, date of birth, and place of residence in Section A on the ATF Form 4473 exactly match the valid government-issued photo identification (to include supplemental) document(s) provided to you AND do questions 11b through 11i and 12b and 12c have a “No” response?”
· NICS E-Check users will now be required to re-enter the customers First, Middle, and Last Name on the verification page before clicking submit
We apologize for the sudden change of deployment date and appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter.
Thank you,
The NICS Business Relations Team

NEW MEXICO GAME COMMISSION WINS LION TRAPPING LAWSUIT!
GAME COMMISSION WINS LION TRAPPING LAWSUIT!
Article from the New Mexico Tracker news letter July 2018
In yet another victory for trapping, the federal lawsuit filed against the New Mexico State Game Commission was decided on July 16, 2018 by Chief US District Court Judge William Johnson. The lawsuit has been ongoing since 2016 and was filed in an attempt to stop cougar trapping in NM.
The decision was what is called a “summary judgement” meaning the judge ruled on the merits of the arguments without the case having to go to a full trial. Both NMDGF and the Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) had filed separate motions asking for summary judgement in their favor. HSUS was trying to have the trapping portion of the cougar rule “stayed” which basically means they wanted it declared void in order to make lion trapping illegal again because, they said, the new cougar rule “threatens Mexican wolves”. In the 38 page written decision Judge Johnson explained that after reviewing “voluminous amounts of material as evidence”, numerous written statements from relevant witnesses and current case law (previous court decisions) there was no evidence that Mexican wolves are threatened due to trapping, especially cougar trapping in NM.
He granted summary judgement in favor of the commission, allowing the current cougar regulation to stay in effect. In the lawsuit, HSUS claimed that by allowing the trapping of cougar as a legal method of harvest the state game commission was violating the endangered species act since Mexican wolves might be caught in traps set for cougar. In making their arguments they misread, misinterpreted and misrepresented NM state trapping laws in their frivolous case. In one example HSUS witnesses told the court in written statements that there was no jaw spread restriction on un-laminated traps and because of this trappers could use huge traps to capture cougar. In the decision the Judge writes that he questioned HSUS on this “because it just did not make sense to prohibit the use of smaller laminated traps while allowing larger nonlaminated ones”. NMDGF’s Colonel of law enforcement made it clear that not only was this false but officers have consistently enforced the jaw spread regulation for nearly 2 decades and the cougar rule did not change this. Continued on page 2 Who is the NMTA? We are trappers from around the nation who have come together as a group to provide education and training for all trappers to practice "Wise Use" of our renewable fur resources.
Page 2 NMTA TRACKER Commission wins lion lawsuit cont. In the end Judge Johnson saw it for what it was, a ridiculous interpretation of the law. Attorneys for the commission presented evidence which demonstrated that traps, no larger than those allowed for other fur bearing animals, which are set for cougar, present no danger of a “take” of Mexican Gray Wolves. It will come as no surprise to those reading this that most of the HSUS arguments were full of inconsistencies, contradictions and lies. Thankfully the judge recognized this and pointed many of these out in his written decision.
The HSUS’s attorneys were ultimately forced to admit that despite 2 years of legal cougar trapping, no wolves had been caught in a trap set for lions, much less injured. In addition the judge pointed out that NMDGF has conducted cougar control using traps and foot snares in several bighorn sheep areas within occupied wolf habitat for 15+ years and NMDGF provided detailed records of over 60,000 trap nights (1 trap, set for 1 night = 1 trap night) in which they NEVER caught a wolf in a trap set for a cougar. Not once. Of course this is no surprise to those of us who trap since we know that wolves and lions don’t use the country side the same way, after all that’s why you don’t make a coyote set in the same place you make a bobcat set! NMDGF attorneys apparently made this point quite effectively since Judge Johnson noted it as an important factor in his decision: “Defendants (NM Game Commission) offer persuasive evidence that despite the habitat overlap, an understanding of habitat use can help eliminate the likelihood that Mexican wolves would be caught in non-target traps and snares. Species behave differently: Differences in behavioral characteristics between cougars and wolves (and how these animals use the landscape differently) make it unlikely that a trap set for cougar would catch a wolf.”
A loss in this case could have had significant impacts on the trapping of all furbearers since the only thing the commission legalized in the new cougar regulation was the harvest of cougars if the trapper had: 1) a cougar license, 2) a trapping license, 3) they trapped on state land or private land and 4) they caught a cougar in a trap which complied with all other current trapping laws. Larger traps were not allowed and all other laws already on the books which applied to trapping furbearers apply to cougar trappers. If the judge had ruled against the commission there likely would have been additional lawsuits against furbearer trapping since the size of traps might have been an issue. This decision reaffirms the state’s ability to manage wildlife and the methods those animals may be harvested by licensed hunters, anglers and trappers so long as the state game commission considers due care when an action may affect a species protected under the ESA.
The New Mexico State Game Commission should be commended for fighting this lawsuit rather than giving up and settling with the HSUS. Please let them know you appreciate their support for trapping and wildlife management based on science not emotion.

Internet Sales Tax---Ebay & States Sales Tax
09-13-2018 01:10:45 PM
Last Edited 09-13-2018 01:58:54 PM by Community Team trinton@ebay
As you may know, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of South Dakota in June 2018,
which removed the requirement that certain retailers have a physical presence in a state in
order for that state to impose sales tax obligations on these retailers.
Some states have extended the tax collection obligation to marketplaces. We believe this
ruling is unfair to small businesses and will continue to call for greater simplicity. In the
meantime, we’re working to find the best way to support our sellers.
What this means for eBay sellers: Regardless of where you’re physically located, if you sell
to buyers in certain states, those states may require you to collect applicable taxes on your
transactions.
Therefore, based on these new laws, we will calculate, collect, and remit sales tax for orders
shipped to customers in the following states on the following schedule:
Washington—starting Jan 1, 2019
Pennsylvania— starting July 1, 2019
Oklahoma—starting July 1, 2019
Once we start collecting tax in these states, you do not need to take any action.
There are no extra charges or fees for this service. Prior to these dates, please continue
to collect and remit tax in these states and comply with any other applicable requirements
they impose.
There are no opt-outs for selling items into the states listed above, or out of eBay
automatically collecting sales tax for items shipped to the states above.
Additional states will likely be added to the above list. Stay informed on the Help pages.
For more information on these new tax requirements, we recommend that you consult with
your tax advisor. If you do not have a tax advisor, we’ve partnered with Avalara and TaxJar
and they will have specific insights into the best course of action for you.
As always, thank you for selling on eBay.

THE RIGHT SIDE

CUOMO IS WRONG. AMERICA IS GREAT
People have to be careful what they say and to whom they say it. This is particularly true when it comes to politicians and speeches. President Donald Trump keeps raising eyebrows and getting unflattering media comments for some of his speeches and Tweets. It seems to be part of the game.
Recently, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo made a huge gaff when he tried to denigrate a Trump slogan of “Make America Great Again.” Cuomo made the comment that America was never great and that started the commentary about how America is great, was great, and will continue to be great. At least that is the comment shared by patriotic Americans.
The Cuomo statement is really backfiring at Cuomo and it is ammunition for the big guns in the conservative movement making Cuomo the perfect target for shots that don’t have to be cheap. It is difficult to find anything that is perfect and that includes countries and governments, but America is still growing and getting better in spite of the liberal criticisms.
What makes America great is the people who have created the republic and those who keep trying to improve it. When the Declaration of Independence was written it was done to separate the colony from a monarchy and it focused on freedom. The government was created in a manner that there would be no rulers. It created a government that would be one of laws, not men.
The Constitution was a written document that affirmed certain rights were created by God and not subject to the whims of rulers. These rights focused on individual freedoms and so enumerated in the Bill of Rights. However, there was a big error that was not corrected because of political compromise to get the Constitution passed. It still allowed the abomination of slavery.
Even with the declaration that “all men are created equal” was written, it was perverted and slavery lasted for almost another century. It took the efforts of a great President, Abraham Lincoln, and a Civil War to make all people free. Even then, it took another century to improve on the levels of that freedom. The war didn’t solve the problem, but it did open the door so there could be a solution.
That is a factor that makes America great. It has the means and the will to improve and the freedoms are what helped to create the Industrial Revolution. Some may call it capitalism, but what it did was to take away the practice in the old country of nobility and serfs. Here, a person could start a business that could morph into an industry and create wealth and a better life for those who had the intelligence and ambition to work and to create new ways and products.
During the growth of the country, injustices were inflicted on the Native Americans. Bluntly, the government stole the land, broke treaties and created reservations that would contain the Indians. They lived in poverty and under very poor conditions. It still is not rectified, but it seems that some are making a good living building and running casinos and is an example of how they can catch up on the American Dream.
That brings up another issue involving Governor Cuomo. He has created another war with the tribes. They are not supposed to be taxed, but he disagrees with that and has even allowed competition by building state run casinos. That isn’t working very well for him, either.
However, while there is the process and history for improving America, there are also some built in handicaps which we refer to as corruption. Now, corruption has been a part of civilization since it started. There seems to be a human failing known as greed and it sometimes takes over the personality of those who are focused on power. As this column has mentioned several times, politics is not about good government. It is all about power and money.
That statement is difficult to argue against. Truth can be very inconvenient to the overly ambitious politicians. Fortunately, there are still some people who run for office and are elected who are honest and do the right thing. In this state, we can call them a minority just by looking at Albany.
Sure, we make progress. America has been a leader in helping other countries survive because of our actions, like military intervention where necessary. There were a couple of instances where intervention wasn’t a good idea but we have helped countries ravaged by natural disasters and wars. America has been a champion of trying to help others.
We still keep trying to do that, but even there the problem of corruption raises its ugly head. It is seen from local governments to the federal level. The more money available, the more corruption, and New York is an example of the art of “pay for play.” An Assembly Speaker and a Senate Majority Leader have been convicted for corrupt practices and still have not spent a day in prison.
This brings us back to Governor Cuomo who has amassed a campaign fund of more than thirty million dollars. That brings a focus to links between state contracts and donations to his war chest. This has been going on all during his tenure. He once initiated the Moreland Commission which he said was to fight corruption in Albany, but ended it under suspicious conditions.
Now, because of the gubernatorial election looming large, the issues are being brought up, but it would seem that the major media does not give it the attention it deserves. Andrew Cuomo is definitely a liberal’s liberal and most of the media in the state is controlled by liberals, so the issue is not given the attention it deserves.
This column will be focusing on corruption and go beyond the disdain Governor Cuomo thinks about the greatness of America. We will make the effort to bring attention to the inequities of focus on why New York is the highest taxed state in the nation and has more government controls on everyday life than most.
Stay tuned for more news about why Governor Cuomo thinks America isn’t so great and what the people will have to do to correct his mistake. It is called election and our right to vote. The power belongs to the people, but they have to use it.

Recently, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo made a huge gaff when he tried to denigrate a Trump slogan of “Make America Great Again.” Cuomo made the comment that America was never great and that started the commentary about how America is great, was great, and will continue to be great. At least that is the comment shared by patriotic Americans.
The Cuomo statement is really backfiring at Cuomo and it is ammunition for the big guns in the conservative movement making Cuomo the perfect target for shots that don’t have to be cheap. It is difficult to find anything that is perfect and that includes countries and governments, but America is still growing and getting better in spite of the liberal criticisms.
What makes America great is the people who have created the republic and those who keep trying to improve it. When the Declaration of Independence was written it was done to separate the colony from a monarchy and it focused on freedom. The government was created in a manner that there would be no rulers. It created a government that would be one of laws, not men.
The Constitution was a written document that affirmed certain rights were created by God and not subject to the whims of rulers. These rights focused on individual freedoms and so enumerated in the Bill of Rights. However, there was a big error that was not corrected because of political compromise to get the Constitution passed. It still allowed the abomination of slavery.
Even with the declaration that “all men are created equal” was written, it was perverted and slavery lasted for almost another century. It took the efforts of a great President, Abraham Lincoln, and a Civil War to make all people free. Even then, it took another century to improve on the levels of that freedom. The war didn’t solve the problem, but it did open the door so there could be a solution.
That is a factor that makes America great. It has the means and the will to improve and the freedoms are what helped to create the Industrial Revolution. Some may call it capitalism, but what it did was to take away the practice in the old country of nobility and serfs. Here, a person could start a business that could morph into an industry and create wealth and a better life for those who had the intelligence and ambition to work and to create new ways and products.
During the growth of the country, injustices were inflicted on the Native Americans. Bluntly, the government stole the land, broke treaties and created reservations that would contain the Indians. They lived in poverty and under very poor conditions. It still is not rectified, but it seems that some are making a good living building and running casinos and is an example of how they can catch up on the American Dream.
That brings up another issue involving Governor Cuomo. He has created another war with the tribes. They are not supposed to be taxed, but he disagrees with that and has even allowed competition by building state run casinos. That isn’t working very well for him, either.
However, while there is the process and history for improving America, there are also some built in handicaps which we refer to as corruption. Now, corruption has been a part of civilization since it started. There seems to be a human failing known as greed and it sometimes takes over the personality of those who are focused on power. As this column has mentioned several times, politics is not about good government. It is all about power and money.
That statement is difficult to argue against. Truth can be very inconvenient to the overly ambitious politicians. Fortunately, there are still some people who run for office and are elected who are honest and do the right thing. In this state, we can call them a minority just by looking at Albany.
Sure, we make progress. America has been a leader in helping other countries survive because of our actions, like military intervention where necessary. There were a couple of instances where intervention wasn’t a good idea but we have helped countries ravaged by natural disasters and wars. America has been a champion of trying to help others.
We still keep trying to do that, but even there the problem of corruption raises its ugly head. It is seen from local governments to the federal level. The more money available, the more corruption, and New York is an example of the art of “pay for play.” An Assembly Speaker and a Senate Majority Leader have been convicted for corrupt practices and still have not spent a day in prison.
This brings us back to Governor Cuomo who has amassed a campaign fund of more than thirty million dollars. That brings a focus to links between state contracts and donations to his war chest. This has been going on all during his tenure. He once initiated the Moreland Commission which he said was to fight corruption in Albany, but ended it under suspicious conditions.
Now, because of the gubernatorial election looming large, the issues are being brought up, but it would seem that the major media does not give it the attention it deserves. Andrew Cuomo is definitely a liberal’s liberal and most of the media in the state is controlled by liberals, so the issue is not given the attention it deserves.
This column will be focusing on corruption and go beyond the disdain Governor Cuomo thinks about the greatness of America. We will make the effort to bring attention to the inequities of focus on why New York is the highest taxed state in the nation and has more government controls on everyday life than most.
Stay tuned for more news about why Governor Cuomo thinks America isn’t so great and what the people will have to do to correct his mistake. It is called election and our right to vote. The power belongs to the people, but they have to use it.

States-Government Restrictions on Binary Trigger Systems
Doesn't take long for more firearms part restrictions to be implemented. Here is the email I received from Williams Shooters Supply from Franklin Armory this morning. This is what happens when you elect people who "say" they support the 2nd amendment.
To control your state capitol you must elect local politicians that will fight the state mandates.
