Elise Stefanik Goes Nuclear on Kathy Hochul Over Qatar-Funded Propaganda in NYC Schools

The leftists in New York never sleep when it comes to indoctrinating kids, so why should we?

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and House Oversight leader James Comer (R-KY) are rightfully torching New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-uh) over some seriously shady Qatar-funded curriculum sneaking into Big Apple public schools. We're talking materials backed by the same folks who bankroll Hamas's favorite network, Al Jazeera, and some homegrown radicals who apparently think twisting the truth about 9/11 and the October 7 atrocities is just another day at the office.

The New York City Department of Education is stonewalling like pros, refusing to hand over these "teaching materials" that, according to the GOP duo, blatantly "twist the narratives" around those horrific attacks. Hochul's the only one with the power to force transparency, but surprise — crickets from the governor's mansion.

"The [NYC] DOE has refused to provide copies of teaching materials that twist the narratives of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks and the Hamas-led massacre on October 7, 2023, in Israel," Stefanik and Comer wrote in a letter obtained by the New York Post.

They're zeroing in on a cool $1 million from the Qatar Foundation International dumped into schools like P.S. 261 in Cobble Hill and P.S./I.S. 30 in Bay Ridge. Then there's Bridging Cultures, headed by Dr. Debbie Almontaser of the Muslim Community Network (MCN) fame, an outfit accused of soft-pedaling Islamist terror, fighting funding for the 9/11 Memorial, and smearing anyone who dares point out radical Islam's starring role in the attacks. 

These groups say their workshops on October 7 "erase Israeli suffering," and together they've raked in at least $14.7 million from NYC taxpayers since 2014.

"The NYC DOE partnered with Bridging Cultures to train teachers on how to speak to students about 10/7, the war in Gaza, and the anti-Israel protest movement," Stefanik and Comer said.The lawmakers are demanding contracts, full curriculum copies, and real explanations for cozying up to these partners. Hochul's team? They brushed it off, claiming Stefanik "misunderstand[s] how New York's education system and mayoral control operate." Classic deflection from the "Worst Governor in America" crowd.

This is just the latest salvo in Stefanik's full-court press on Hochul as the 2026 governor's race heats up. She's been hammering Hochul for backing incoming NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the communist jihadi who just endorsed radical activist Aber Kawas for State Assembly.

"Kathy Hochul endorsed Mamdani and now owns his latest public endorsement of radical activist Aber Kawas for New York State Assembly, a proud terrorist sympathizer and denigrator of the United States," Stefanik said in a statement. "Kawas notoriously blamed America for 9/11 that claimed the lives of thousands of New Yorkers, citing the United States' 'system of capitalism,' 'racism,' 'white supremacy,' and 'Islamophobia' as justification for the terrorist attacks that killed New Yorkers. It is clear that Mamdani owns and controls the Worst Governor in America, Kathy Hochul, as she cowardly remains silent on the anti-American and antisemitic filth spewed by the incoming Mayor and his endorsed candidates. Kathy Hochul must condemn Mamdani's endorsement of Kawas immediately."

Look, if you're letting Qatar, the same regime that hosts Hamas leaders in luxury, fund lessons on 9/11 and October 7 while radicals downplay the horror, you're not educating kids, you're grooming them for the next generation of America-hating protesters. Stefanik's spot-on here: This isn't "diversity" or "inclusion," it's straight-up malign influence, and Hochul owns every bit of it.

The Democrats' obsession with importing foreign cash and far-left nonsense into classrooms is peak insanity. Good on Stefanik and Comer for shining a light on this garbage. New York parents deserve better than having their kids taught to apologize for terrorism.

Kathy Hochul invokes Founding Fathers to justify assisted suicide, proving she's not Mensa material

In what has to be one of the most tone-deaf moves from a Democratic governor in recent memory, New York's Kathy Hochul announced on Wednesday that she's reached a deal to sign legislation legalizing assisted suicide for terminally ill patients with less than six months to live. And she tried to justify it by dragging the Founding Fathers into the mix, of course.

"Two and a half centuries ago, our founding fathers established a vision of a country based on limited government and broad individual rights that together protect rights of speech, worship, privacy and bodily autonomy," Hochul wrote. "This is the context in which I have considered the Medical Aid in Dying Act, a bill to allow suffering terminally ill individuals with less than six months left to live the right to medical aid to speed up the inevitable."

Look, I'm all for limited government and individual rights, but twisting the Founders' vision to green-light doctors handing out fatal drugs feels like a stretch that would make even the most flexible yoga instructor wince. The Democrat-controlled legislature passed this over the summer, but Hochul held out for some revisions she claims will "protect family members, caregivers and doctors" and "ensure" the bill isn't "misused or broadly applied."

She says lawmakers agreed to those changes, which will be added in January, and then she'll sign it.

"I have come to see this as a matter of individual choice that does not have to be about shortening life but rather about shortening dying. And I do not believe that in every instance condemning someone to excruciating pain and suffering preserves the dignity and sanctity of life," she wrote.

The backlash was swift and fierce, starting with the New York State Republican Party calling it a flat-out disaster.

“At a moment when New Yorkers are struggling with isolation and mental health crises, she is choosing to tell the most vulnerable among us that their lives are expendable,” said New York GOP Chair Ed Cox. “This is not compassion, it’s abandonment. True leadership defends life, dignity and hope, even when it’s hard.”

Cox didn't stop there, urging voters to back Republican challengers like Elise Stefanik, who he says “believes every life has value and who will fight relentlessly for families, the disabled and the voiceless.”

The Bishops of New York State weren't holding back either.

“We are extraordinarily troubled by Governor Hochul’s announcement that she will sign the egregious bill passed by the legislature earlier this year sanctioning physician-assisted suicide in New York State,” they said. “This new law signals our government’s abandonment of its most vulnerable citizens, telling people who are sick or disabled that suicide in their case is not only acceptable, but is encouraged by our elected leaders.”

Then there's the New York Alliance Against Assisted Suicide, a coalition including disability rights groups, Democrats for Life, and others, who pointed out the obvious dangers.

“Even with changes, this legislation would still single out disabled and terminally ill New Yorkers for radically different treatment than other individuals experiencing suicidal ideation,” they said. “It would still transform physicians into facilitators of suicide. It would still undermine medical transparency by requiring false reporting on death certificates.”

If Hochul goes through with this, New York will join 12 other states plus D.C. in legalizing assisted suicide, hot on the heels of Illinois, where Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker just signed a similar bill.

At a time when suicide rates are climbing and mental health resources are stretched thin, pushing a law that tells the suffering their lives can be "expediently" ended isn't progressive—it's a profound moral surrender. Hochul's attempt to wrap it in the Founders' rhetoric only makes the hypocrisy sting more.

Can Zohran Mamdani arrest Israeli PM Netanyahu if he comes to NYC?

Zohran "Smiley" Mamdani

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist and an overt anti-Zionist [aka anti-Semite] promises that if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu comes to New York City, he will be arrested.

Can Mamdani do this?

The short answer is no.

Mayors have no jurisdiction over international arrest warrants, specifically the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued against Netanyahu in November 2024, which accuse him of crimes against humanity related to the Gaza conflict.

What comrade Mamdani refuses to acknowledge is the United States is not a party to the ICC's jurisdiction over American citizens and has rejected their authority over non-member states' leaders which includes Israel, another non ICC member.

But if the US happened to be a member of the ICC, their warrants would be handled by federal authorities, not local mayors.

Moreover, sitting heads of state traditionally enjoy personal immunity from prosecution, and if Netanyahu visited the Big Apple, the US State Department would absolutely invoke this immunity if Bibi made an official visit, especially if he does so when in office.

Our nation has historically blocked or ignored similar attempts by authoritarian politicians. For example, we passed the 2002 American Service Members’ Protection Act, nicknamed the “Hague Invasion Act,” partly to protect allies from ICC intrusive actions.

Furthermore, local police cannot unilaterally arrest a protected foreign leader, such as a mayor of any city. They simply don't have the power to order an arrest of a visiting foreign leader who is under US federal protection, who, when visiting the US, is typically under Secret Service and Diplomatic Security Service protection. Any attempts by Mamdani, or local cops to arrest Netanyahu would be overruled on the spot by the feds law enforcement and Justice Department.

If "Smiley" tries to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, several outcomes are possible and any one of them is highly probable.

First, if comrade Mamdani directs the NYPD to detain the Israeli PM upon arrival, the repercussions would be swift, severe, and multifaceted. The U.S. State Department and Justice Department would immediately intervene, invoking Bibi's head-of-state immunity under customary international law and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. But if he throws all care to the wind and attempts an arrest, Mamdani could face federal charges like false imprisonment (18 U.S.C. § 1201), obstruction of foreign affairs (18 U.S.C. § 953), or even conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241). 

Precedent includes the U.S. ignoring ICC warrants for non-allies like Sudan's Omar al-Bashir in 2013. NYPD officers following such an order could face discipline or charges themselves.

Second, as mayor-elect, or even post-inauguration this January, Mamdani could be impeached by the NY City Council or even be removed under New York law for misconduct (N.Y. City Charter § 24).  

A bill led by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), introduced in September 2025, explicitly aims to block NYC from enforcing foreign arrest warrants against Israeli officials, potentially triggering automatic penalties like loss of federal funding. However, it might not have even been necessary.

 
Third, Netanyahu (or Israel) could sue Mamdani personally for defamation, emotional distress, or wrongful interference, seeking damages in the millions. 

The U.S. could also pursue indemnity claims against the city.

And while Mamdani's anti-Zionist political base might applaud his attempts at stardom, moderate Democrats, the city's huge Jewish community of over a million residents, and groups like AIPAC, would oppose him politically and cripple any chances of a thriving political career. Remember, this communist only won the mayoral race by a thin margin. 

The Party could, and should reprimand him if he attempts to arrest Netanyahu, but if I had to put money on the final outcome, the comrade will chicken out.

'Squad' Star Ilhan Omar's Campaign Forks Over Cash to Anti-Israel Outfit Linked to 'Terrorist U'

Oh, Ilhan Omar. The gift that keeps on giving to conservative bloggers everywhere. Just when you think the Minnesota congresswoman –, you know, the one who once quipped that "some people did something" about 9/11, couldn't top her greatest hits of controversy, here she comes again, playing sugar mama to a group that's basically Hamas's D.C. hype squad.

According to fresh Federal Election Commission filings dug up by Fox News Digital (shoutout to CB Cotton for keeping tabs on these campus clown shows), Omar's reelection war chest, Ilhan for Congress, dropped $1,559.25 on "event tickets" back in September to the Palestine House of Freedom. That's the snappily named "Dar Alhurriya" in Arabic, a nonprofit squatting just a stone's throw from the Capitol Dome. Good grief, nothing says "bipartisan outreach" like bankrolling outfits dedicated to Israel's demise from your campaign slush fund.

Their website is a real charmer. 

The group bills itself as "dedicated to the liberation of Palestine" and "the dismantling of apartheid in Palestine and the establishment of a free, democratic state from the river to the sea." (Yeah, that oldie-but-goodie slogan that somehow always skips the part about Israel's right to exist.) They hammer home that Israel is "operating as an apartheid state." Their big mission is to "embark on an aggressive educational campaign targeting everyone from lawmakers, staffers, the media, to the general public" to "show how dismantling apartheid and establishing a free democratic Palestine from the River to the Sea with equal rights, is the path to peace and will benefit all parties involved." 

Peace through... everyone you don't like dead? Got it.

But wait, there's more! This outfit made waves earlier this year by throwing a June gala fundraiser for none other than Birzeit University, the Palestinian school that's earned the oh-so-flattering nickname "Terrorist University" thanks to its student council being a Hamas love-in.

Proceeds from the shindig, cheekily titled "From Birzeit and Beyond: How academia shapes resistance and resilience," all funneled straight to Birzeit, per the event flyer. And Omar's crew all chipped in for tickets to... something. Details fuzzy, but hey, it's the thought that counts, right?

Birzeit's student elections? A Hamas sweepstakes since the '90s, with the terror group's Al-Wafaa bloc racking up wins in 2022 and 2023. Post-2023 triumph, none other than Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas's bigwig politico until the IDF turned him into a Tehran footnote last year, got all moist and couldn't contain his glee. Chatting with the Middle East Monitor, he gushed: "The second message is that the bloc has proven its ability to adapt to changes, overcome complexities, and fill the void created by arrests, martyrdom, or deportation." He tacked on that Hamas is "unbreakable" in its homeland and that it will confront the "occupier, oppression and terrorism." 

Not Haniyeh's first rodeo either.  In 2017, another Hamasshole mouthpiece sent congrats to the Birzeit kiddos for their electoral enthusiasm.

Campus vibes at Birzeit had parades with terrorist fans strutting in fake suicide vests and rocket props, courtesy of Memri TV footage. Charming stuff. No wonder Reps. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Tim Walberg (R-MI), the Education and Workforce Committee chair, fired off a scathing letter to Harvard on Sept. 29, blasting the Ivy League eggheads for dragging their feet on ditching their old Birzeit partnership. They nailed it: Birzeit is "an institution whose student body overwhelmingly supports Hamas" and a school that "explicitly endorses a U.S. designated terrorist organization." Harvard, in a rare flash of spine this spring, vowed not to renew the deal after an "internal review," per The Harvard Crimson. About time.

Look, Omar's no stranger to the hot seat. She was the first Muslima in Congress back in 2018. But she's also the queen of cringeworthy zingers, like claiming Israel "has hypnotized the world" or shrugging off 9/11 as "some people did something." Just last month, a House censure push over her digs at Charlie Kirk fizzled out. And now this? 

Campaign cash is flowing to a group cozying up to a Hamas petri dish because, you know, 'those Jews' and stuff.

The Squad's main anti-Semite keeps proving she's more interested in "resistance" rallies than, say, actual constituent service. If this is the path to "peace," count me out, I'll stick with the side that doesn't high-five terrorists. Your move, Ilhan.

Trump asks Stefanik to withdraw from UN ambassadorship

Say what you will about President Donald Trump, but the man knows how to keep his pieces on the board. Recently, he took to Truth Social—his digital fiefdom—to announce that he’d asked Representative Elise Stefanik, the New York firebrand, to step back from the gilded prospect of becoming U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Why? Because the House Republicans are clinging to a majority so slender it could snap under the weight of a single defection. 

Trump, ever the pragmatist, spelled it out: "I have asked Elise, as one of my biggest Allies, to remain in Congress to help me deliver Historic Tax Cuts, GREAT Jobs, Record Economic Growth, a Secure Border, Energy Dominance, Peace Through Strength, and much more, so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN." No mincing words there—just the bullish cadence of a man who sees the game and plays it.

He went on: "With a very tight Majority, I don’t want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise’s seat. The people love Elise and, with her, we have nothing to worry about come Election Day. There are others that can do a good job at the United Nations." 

Fair enough. Stefanik’s a proven loyalist, a congressional pit bull who’s bitten into the Democrats’ ankles more than once. Why risk her district for a role that, let’s be honest, others could muddle through? Trump’s not wrong—the U.N. is a bloated talking shop where “good enough” often suffices.

But the plot thickens, as it always does in the swampy mire of American politics. 

CBS News whispered that Stefanik was under pressure to bow out, despite a Senate confirmation that looked like a bipartisan cakewalk. The razor-thin Republican edge in the House was the headline reason, but Fox News Digital dug deeper, unearthing a mess of local squabbles in Stefanik’s New York district. Primaries there are a peculiar beast, and the Republican grandees can’t agree on who’d inherit her throne. 

Two insiders, steeped in the state’s political muck, warned of a potential special election nightmare. One told Fox: "Elise has been saying [they] need to wait for Trump, and it's allowed the process to grow out of control." A fair jab, perhaps, but this source wasn’t letting the party bosses off the hook either, noting their failure to quash the infighting. "Nature abhors a vacuum," they said. "And you have 15 different county chairs, basically like three different regions of the state, pushing their own person. It's a really messy, ugly process." 

Truer words were never spoken—politics is a knife fight, and when the leadership dithers, the blades come out.

This same source mused that Stefanik was "one of the first ones ready to go" for Trump’s inner circle. Had she bolted for the administration right after his inauguration, would the chaos have been avoided? Maybe. But the second source wasn’t so charitable: "She let that happen." They argued Stefanik’s failure to anoint a successor early left the field in disarray, with ambitious nobodies circling like vultures. Both agreed on one danger: a rogue conservative running third-party could split the vote. The first source flagged a New York Conservative Party darling who "never supported Trump"—a heretic in these parts. In Stefanik’s ruby-red district, a Democratic upset seems fanciful, but stranger things have happened when egos fracture the right.

The stakes are high. Republicans can’t afford to bleed seats with their House margin already on life support. 

Look at Florida—Randy Fine, a Republican, is getting out-fundraised by a Democrat in a special election for another safe seat come April 1. In New York, the rules are even trickier: special elections skip open primaries, leaving the 15 county chairs to play kingmaker. 

Some fret that Governor Kathy Hochul, a Democrat with a taste for socialism, might stall the vote if Stefanik jumped ship, leaving the seat vacant and the GOP a vote short.

Trump, undeterred, doubled down on Thursday: "Elise will stay in Congress, rejoin the House Leadership Team, and continue to fight for our amazing American People. Speaker Johnson is thrilled! I look forward to the day when Elise is able to join my Administration in the future." What role she’ll reclaim remains murky—her old gig as House GOP Conference Chair now belongs to Michigan’s Lisa McClain. Stefanik’s spokesperson, predictably, didn’t bother replying to Fox’s queries. 

Silence is its own answer.

So here we are: a tale of loyalty, strategy, and the perennial dysfunction of party politics. Trump’s keeping Stefanik in the trenches, where she’s most useful, while the New York GOP fumbles in the dark. It’s a reminder that in this game, strength isn’t just in numbers—it’s in knowing who you can trust when the knives come out.

"Thanks for reading! If you’d like to toss a coffee my way, check out my Buy Me A Coffee—means a lot!"

Rutgers U. President leaving office after spring term after anti-Semitism complaints

Rutgers University president [Go Scarlet Knights!] Jonathan Holloway will be leaving his job at the end of this academic year due to his lack of courage and leadership amidst the blatant anti-Semitism on campus.

Holloway gave his perfunctory words in a letter on Tuesday in which he bragged about the accomplishments of his administration. “Serving as the university president has been an enormous privilege and responsibility,” he wrote.  “Throughout my tenure, I have been appreciative of the former and respectful of the latter. I welcomed the opportunity to join the Rutgers community in July 2020 because I found inspiration in the possibilities that this institution represented.”

Holloway said he thinks Rutgers University is stronger and more respected now than it was before he became president in 2020. He mentioned that the school received about $970 million in research grants while he has been president.

However, Holloway’s supposed lack of attention to the concerns of Jewish students about the rising antisemitism on the New Brunswick campus, which The Algemeiner has reported on many times, has put a negative mark on his leadership record.

Holloway initially wavered on the issue in 2021. His administration first denounced antisemitism, but then, three days later, apologized for it in a statement that said their earlier stance "failed to communicate support for our Palestinian community members.”

The Jewish community was as angry as wasps in a jar while Holloway was in charge of official communications. He issued a third statement on May 29, 2021 and was the sole signee. “We have not, nor would we ever, apologize for standing against antisemitism,” he wrote.

In the coming years, Rutgers experienced a series of antisemitic hate crimes on its campus. For three consecutive years, someone threw eggs at the home of Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi), a Jewish fraternity. Jewish students reported facing verbal abuse and having their property vandalized, including several incidents of tire slashing. After Hamas's massacre across southern Israel on Oct. 7, the university's Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter celebrated the deaths of Jews, and a sympathizer on campus even called for the murder of a Jewish AEPi member, urging someone to "go kill him." In 2022, a caravan of SJP members drove to AEPi’s house, shouting antisemitic slurs and spitting in the direction of the fraternity members.

Rutgers Hillel criticized the administration for not addressing antisemitism properly. They pointed out that antisemitism wasn't included in a 2021 symposium on ethnic and racial hatred. Rutgers Hillel commented, "Jews don't count. This repeated erasure of Jewish concerns and identity is painful and bewildering to every member of the Rutgers Jewish community.”

The broader community, including non-Jewish members, also held a low opinion of Holloway. In 2023, he failed a no confidence vote with an 89-47 result. This came after a faculty strike, tough contract talks, and the dismissal of the chancellor at the university's Newark campus, as reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer. Subsequently, the Yale Daily News noted that Holloway was noticeably absent from faculty senate meetings. One professor mentioned that Holloway seemed to handle challenges with the attitude of an Ivy League elitist.

“He has consistently shown contempt for and disdain for the people who do the work of the university,” Rutgers English professor Jim Brown told the Yale Daily News. “He has shown little interest in the working or learning conditions of students, staff, and faculty at all Rutgers campuses.”

Some speculated that Holloway was simply waiting for the opportunity to become Yale University’s first Black president, a position he likely saw as the ultimate peak of his career. An anonymous faculty member told the News, “I think he would see Yale as the pinnacle of his personal achievements. So yeah, I don’t think he wants to stick around at this public university any longer than he has to.”

Holloway was reportedly a top candidate to replace Peter Salovey as president after Salovey's retirement in 2024. However, Yale picked someone else, Maurie McInnis, just a week after Holloway made a controversial appearance at a US congressional hearing about campus antisemitism. This hearing was a chance for Holloway to show his leadership skills and his stance against political extremism and hate, but it didn't go well.

During the hearing, Holloway seemed to defend the organizers of a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” comparing them to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by saying that King was also unpopular in his time. This comparison caused quite a stir. Holloway also hesitated to answer a question on whether he believes Israel is a “genocidal” country, only saying that Israel has a right to defend itself. Later on, he clarified that he does not think Israel is genocidal.

Responding to Holloway's announcement of his resignation, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said Holloway should not wait until summer to leave office.

“Jonathan Holloway must resign in disgrace immediately for allowing antisemitic mobs to repeatedly target and threaten the safety of Jewish students, surrendering to the pro-Hamas encampment on campus, and continuing to employ antisemitic and terror-supporting faculty and staff,” she said.

Holloway said on Tuesday that he has “plenty to do before I complete my term,” adding, “I remain focused on that work, especially that which is committed to the connections between Rutgers and civic preparedness and civil discourse. But whatever the topic, I remain steadfast in my belief that Rutgers is on the rise and is earning the respect it has long deserved. I look forward to seeing it flourish in the years ahead.”

Good riddance.

Elise Stefanik calls for NY AG Letitia James to be disbarred

House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) on Monday called for New York Attorney General Letitia James to be either disbarred or suspended over her "biased investigation" into the business dealings of former President Trump. You may remember, James, even before getting the job, promised to go after Trump, a move known as lawfare.

Stefanik blasted James for violating the Rules of Professional Conduct by "attacking President
Trump through extrajudicial statements" during a trial. That's kind of what we call bias,

“In just the first five weeks of the trial that began in October 2023 — before I stopped counting — Ms. James made over 50 highly inappropriate and prejudicial comments on social media,” Stefanik wrote in a complaint filed to the New York Committee on Professional Standards.

“This complaint respectfully requests that the Attorney Grievance Committee conduct an investigation and issue an immediate interim suspension, disbar Ms. James as an attorney and counselor-at-law, or suspend Ms. James.”

This is really a reasonable request, but if you're  suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, you'd likely be cheering James on in her personal quest to get him and then run for governor of New York.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur [Artie to his friend] Engoron [rhymes with 'moron'] is considering whether to fine Trump $370,000,000 in the fraud case, after the lefty found Trump liable on one of the main claims he faces. 

[H/T NY Post.]

James has said Trump inflated his real estate empire’s net worth by billions to score better loans and insurance terms. In real life, when a claim like this is made where so much money is involved, the bank would check for themselves for the veracity of the claim. If the owner overestimated the number, the bank would deny the loan, not have him charged with fraud. But let us never forget we're speaking of Trump, a man so hated that heads explode, oaths of leaving the country are taken [aka lies], and politicians focus on him as if he was their policy.

Anyway, Engoron's  final verdict on the Trump Organization’s business dealings is expected this week.

The alleged extrajudicial remarks James made on X during the trial included accusations of illegal conduct, comments undermining the credibility of witnesses and personal attacks — thus violating rules on trial publicity, Stefanik argued.

“Indeed, Ms. James’ conduct supports a compelling inference that she is deliberately intending to influence the outcome of the matter by creating a powerful media narrative pre-judging the defendants’ liability,” the complaint states.

“Ms. James’ extrajudicial statements could influence the judge or appellate judges that hear the comments. These comments also may affect public perception of the judgment and appellate decisions reviewing that judgment, such as by making the public more receptive to an unlawful judgment against President Trump, his family, and his business.”

The attorney general’s “extreme partisan hostility” toward Trump stretches back to the president’s first year in office, the complaint notes, when James, who had not yet been elected to statewide office, led “die-in” protests because “we are all being killed by this administration.”

James, before running for office in 2018, had promised to go after Trump's real estate empire and accused him [without proof] of money laundering, and called him a "con man" and "carnival barker."

How some people see the situation

The statements led to rebukes from former federal prosecutors, including ex-Virginia US attorney Chuck Rosenberg and ex-Manhattan assistant US attorney Dan Goldman. Rosenberg also urged James to recuse herself.

Stefanik’s complaint also cites James’ partnership with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to bring charges of business fraud against Trump for making “hush money” payments through his legal fixer to pornography performer Stormy Daniels, who Trump referred to as "Horse face."

The complaint, which was first reported by NBC News, added that attorneys general are “held to a higher standard due to their unique role as officers of the court” and James’ conduct “not only constitutes a breach of her professional responsibilities but also risks irreparable harm to the public’s already eroding trust in our legal institutions.”

Gee, ya think?

The Attorney General Grievance Committee has obtained interim suspensions in the recent past, with former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, who lost his law license in 2021 over his election interference claims about the 2020 presidential election.

“In just the first five weeks of the trial that began in October 2023 — before I stopped counting — Ms. James made over 50 highly inappropriate and prejudicial comments on social media,” Stefanik wrote in the complaint.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden is still President and Kamala Hahaharris is licking her chops.

McConnell moonwalks backwards from border bill

Suddenly, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is urging Senate Republicans to vote against a border bill that was unveiled in the Democrat-controlled chamber on Monday, now that the bill has been read and exposed for the piece of Democrat crap that it is.

The garbage heap $118,000,000,000 package is not about border security--it's about Democrat's election security in 2024. It's designed to get our demented President re-elected. 

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said the bill "legalizes illegal immigration." Many other GOP senators have already voiced strong opposition to the steaming dung heap and now McConnell, realizing his political career hangs in the balance, is urging remaining GOPers to block the bill.

“McConnell recommended to GOP senators behind closed doors that they BLOCK the border bill on Wednesday, per multiple sources, bc it’s clear that most Republicans are preparing to vote no — either because they oppose the bill or want more time,” reporter Andrew Desiderio wrote on X.

“McConnell explicitly recommended a NO vote on cloture on the motion to proceed, according to several attendees,” he continued. “McConnell said the problem isn’t what Lankford negotiated, it’s that the political mood in the country has changed.”

Political mood has changed? The nation overwhelmingly never felt that illegal immigration was okay. It was only the far-left that held this belief. 

Top House Republicans signaled shortly after the bill was unveiled that it would be dead on arrival if it made it to the lower chamber. Lankford lied to us.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN), and Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) killed the bill in a joint statement.

“House Republicans oppose the Senate immigration bill because it fails in every policy area needed to secure our border and would actually incentivize more illegal immigration,” the statement said. “Among its many flaws, the bill expands work authorizations for illegal aliens while failing to include critical asylum reforms. Even worse, its language allowing illegals to be ‘released from physical custody’ would effectively endorse the Biden ‘catch and release’ policy.”

“The so-called ‘shutdown’ authority in the bill is anything but, riddled with loopholes that grant far too much discretionary authority to Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas – who has proven he will exploit every measure possible, in defiance of the law, to keep the border open,” the statement continued. “The bill also fails to adequately stop the President’s abuse of parole authority and provides for taxpayer funds to fly and house illegal immigrants in hotels through the FEMA Shelter and Services Program.”

“America’s sovereignty is at stake,” the statement concluded. “Any consideration of this Senate bill in its current form is a waste of time. It is DEAD on arrival in the House. We encourage the U.S. Senate to reject it.”

As usual, the Democrats were hoping the Republicans wouldn't actually read the bill and just sign it first, like Nancy "Dancing Dentures" Pelosi once suggested.

Job-scared MIT president tap dances after anti-Semitic colleagues "resign"

The Stooges

Only now does the woke president of MIT want to take decisive actions against anti-Semitism. Now that she and two of her female school president colleagues shamefully testified in front of Congress about their respective school policies regarding harassment and threats, does Susan Kornbluth want to walk it back and pretend she isn't woke, isn't willing to swallow her own Jewish background for the religion of the left.

Unless you've recently returned from a trip to the International Space Station, you know about the situation whereby Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) asked the presidents of Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, and MIT if calling for the genocide of Jews constituted a violation of their school's policy. This comes after the October 7 barbaric attack on Israel that killed over 1,200 Israelis. 

Not one of them had the guts to agree that it was harassment to call for the genocide of all the Jews, which obviously goes against their respective schools' policies. Jewish students had to lock themselves away from the pro-Hamassholes banging on the doors trying to get at them.

Liz Magill of UPenn was the first to resign after various wealthy alumni refused to donate to the schools in the future. And while most of them were Jewish, there was a significant number who aren't but refused to go along with the Hamasshole-supporting left.

So Magill "resigned" and just this week Gay of Harvard also resigned, but she did it without the insight and class that a person in that position ought to show. Instead, she chalked it up, not to her alleged plagiarism, her anemic academic publications that were also likely plagiarized, and her Capitol Hill performance, instead, she pulled the race card from her nether regions where Al Sharpton keeps his, and blamed it on her skin color.

Now MIT's Kornbluth is promising to take "proactive measures" to combat anti-Semitism wherever she finds it on campus. 

If a Jew is hiding behind a tree she will not call for a Muslim to come and kill him, instead she will take measures to protect his right to not be killed because with Magill and Gay gone, she's a changed woman.

“We have been listening to our community and working steadily for many weeks to identify the issues that most urgently need our attention,” Kornbluth wrote in a letter to the school. “As we begin this new year, I want to name the challenges I’m seeing and hearing about, and put us on a path to solving them together.”

Is she freaking kidding? She had to listen to her community to know right from wrong; good from evil? Anti-Semitism isn't new at MIT and it certainly isn't new at Harvard and UPenn. Their racism is historic and it isn't going to go away with committees Kornbluth now wants to form.

She didn't just wake up to these problems--she's part of the problem and houses must be cleaned of this dirt.

Two down, one to go--at least for now.

Retired professor whose academic work was allegedly plagiarized calls for Harvard's Gay to be fired

Gay: "Ask not what your country can do for you . . ."

If you've ever had anything stolen from you, especially if it's something you made for yourself, you can understand what it must feel like when your academic research and writing was stolen via plagiarism. Well, retired Vanderbilt University professor Dr. Carol Swain certainly does.

Dr. Swain is allegedly one of several of Harvard President Claudine Gay's victims whose work has been stolen and she is calling for Gay to be fired. 

"Fire Claudine Gay posthaste," Dr. Carol Swain posted Thursday on X, as part of a social media post titled "some free unsolicited advice for Harvard University."

"She can be relieved of duties until the terms are negotiated."

Can anyone blame Swain? She is a senior fellow at the Institute for Faith and said that Harvard must hire the best man or woman for the job who can "steer the university back towards sanity."

"Appeasing the Marxist identity politics mob should not be a consideration. The person for the job might be a middle to older age white Jewish man who believes in classical liberalism," she said.

Swain called for Gay to step down last week after Harvard officials chose to accept her antisemitic stance on Jewish students being threatened with genocide and harassment, but the woke folk at the school stood behind her in spite of that and of a probe that found "instances of inadequate citation." That kind of finding had it been of a Harvard student would have caused serious disciplinary action, even expulsion from the university to take place, but in the case of an affirmative action leader, not so much.

On Thursday, Swain also recommended that leaders of Harvard have a "sit down conversation" with the academics who Gay plagiarized from and apologize to alumni, students, parents and donors who have "been harmed and embarrassed" by Gay's behavior. Swain said:

"Have a sit down conversation with the people who have been harmed by the plagiarism of Gay, and the system that protects her. Recognize that Harvard’s systematic racism and classism have far reaching effects. Apologize to alumni, students, parents, and donors who have been harmed and embarrassed."

Gay, you may recall, refused to directly respond to Rep. Elise Stefanik's (R-NY) question at a congressional hearing on Dec. 12 as to whether the calling for genocide of Jews was  against Harvard policy. Gay's apparently coached reply was to say that it depended upon the context but Rep. Stefanik called her out on it and still she responded with the same garbage answer.

But back to the alleged plagiarism. The Washington Free Beacon reported that in four papers published between 1993 and 2017, including her doctoral dissertation, Gay "paraphrased or quoted nearly 20 authors—including two of her colleagues in Harvard University’s department of government—without proper attribution," according to the news site's analysis.

Since the first reports of plagiarism were uncovered, the same news outlet said that Harvard "received a complaint outlining over 40 allegations of plagiarism" against Gay on Tuesday.

Not surprisingly, Dr. Swain, a former Democrat, has been supportive of many conservative issues in the past and even served on former President Trump's "1776 Commission," that showed how false the so called "1619 Project" was about slavery and American history.

Magill resigns as UPenn President--time to clean the ivy from the houses

The smirk says it all

New York Congresswoman, Elise Stefanik (R-NY) applauded the resignation of Liz Magill of UPenn who resigned from the post on Saturday for refusing to condemn anti-Semitism as a form of harassment against Jewish students. 

Magill, along with ivy league school presidents Clauding Gay, of Harvard and Sally Kornbluth, of MIT, testified at a Congressional hearing on Tuesday where Rep. Stefanik asked Magill if "calling for the genocide of Jews violate[s] Penn’s rules or code of conduct? Yes or no?"

L to R: Fraus Magill, Gay, Kornbluth

"If the speech turns into conduct, it can be harassment, yes," Magill responded, later adding, "It is a context-dependent decision."

"This is unacceptable. Ms. Magill, I’m gonna give you one more opportunity for the world to see your answer. Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Penn’s code of conduct when it comes to bullying and harassment? Yes or no?" Stefanik then asked.

Magill and the rest of her cohorts did a River Dance around the question and refused to condemn the anti-Semitism that runs rampant at her school and the others, where Jewish students have to fear for their safety, and in at least one case at UPenn, had to lock themselves in a room to avoid have violence perpetrated against them.

Rep. Stefanik applauded the resignation of University of Magill on Saturday after hearing about the resignation. 

Rep. Elise Stefanik

"One down. Two to go," Stefanik posted to X Saturday. "This is only the very beginning of addressing the pervasive rot of antisemitism that has destroyed the most "prestigious" higher education institutions in America. This forced resignation of the president of @Penn is the bare minimum of what is required. These universities can anticipate a robust and comprehensive Congressional investigation of all facets of their institutions negligent perpetration of antisemitism including administrative, faculty, funding, and overall leadership and governance."

"@Harvard and @MIT do the right thing. The world is watching," she added.

Board of Trustees Chairman Scott L. Bok wrote in a statement Saturday that Magill has resigned.

"I write to share that President Liz Magill has voluntarily tendered her resignation as President of the University of Pennsylvania. She will remain a tenured faculty member at Penn Carey Law," Bok wrote.

So yes, it's one down, two to go, but let's not stop there. Many schools across the country are allowing blatant anti-Semitism to fester like puss pimples on the butts of the women of the Squad. It's ugly and has no place in the world's greatest nation.

And closing the borders might be a good start to deal with part of the problem too.

Harvard president suddenly feels "regret" for her testimony before Congress

Harvard President Claudine Gay testified before Congress Tuesday and now feels sorry for the blowback she's gotten after anti-Semitic remarks she made on antisemitism. [H/T Fox News]

"I am sorry. Words matter." the obvious anti-Semite said in an interview with The Harvard Crimson on Thursday regarding her testimony.

"When words amplify distress and pain, I don’t know how you could feel anything but regret," she said, in an attempt to keep her job. 

On Tuesday, Gay sat before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce to discuss antisemitism and threats against Jewish students on Harvard’s campus. She, like her two colleague clowns from MIT and UPenn, refused to say that the genocidal chants and threats students made against Jews should be considered harassment because of "context," and for some reason she now claims to be sorry.

During an exchange with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), she was asked whether calling for the genocide of Jews on campus violates the university’s codes of conduct related to bullying and harassment.

Gay said it would depend on the "context" of the incident. That is, if the harassment happened to be against black, Muslims, LGBTQ, or other "disenfranchised" groups, then yes, it would be harassment and should result in serious consequences for the perpetrators. But in this case, it's about those, you know, the Jews. They think they're so great with their Albert Einstein and Ruth Bader Ginsberg, but they're not.

When asked to give a yes or no answer, Gay said antisemitic speech could warrant action from Harvard if the conduct crosses into bullying, harassment and intimidation.

Stefanik again pressed Gay to provide a simple yes or no response.

"Again, it depends on the context," Gay said.

Rep. Stefanik said on Fox News' "Faulkner Focus" Wednesday that she was "shaken" after the three stooges who refused to state that calling for Jewish genocide would violate their respective university codes of conduct.

ELISE STEFANIK: I've been in a number of very high-profile congressional hearings over the years and the pathetic moral depravity on display by the witnesses, the three university presidents from Harvard, M.I.T and Penn. I've never witnessed anything like that. And I asked the question in such a way that it was easy. Yes, that calling for the genocide of Jews, in fact, does violate their policies and code of conduct when it comes to bullying and harassment. And their answers were pathetic. I was so shaken and what was probably the most tragic aspect of the hearing to me was there were a number of Jewish students from those schools in the audience sitting behind them. And to watch just the fear as they're listening to the presidents of these universities fail to answer a basic question of moral clarity. It was abysmal. They don't deserve the dignity of resigning. They need to be fired.

Following the well-deserved blasting Gay received on social media, she tried convincing us that some had "confused" a right to free expression with the notion that Harvard condones "calls for violence against Jewish students."

"Let me be clear: Calls for violence or genocide against the Jewish community, or any religious or ethnic group are vile, they have no place at Harvard, and those who threaten our Jewish students will be held to account," she blathered.

Gay further clarified her comments during her interview with the Crimson.

"I got caught up in what had become at that point, an extended, combative exchange about policies and procedures," Gay said. "What I should have had the presence of mind to do in that moment was return to my guiding truth, which is that calls for violence against our Jewish community — threats to our Jewish students — have no place at Harvard and will never go unchallenged. Substantively, I failed to convey what is my truth."

Whenever anyone uses the words 'my truth,' they are lying by implying their beliefs comport with reality. People use that term to absolve themselves of wrongdoing. There is only 'truth,' and it doesn't belong to anyone--it's fact. 

All of three presidents who testified on Capitol Hill, and all others who refuse to hold those students who hate and make threats of genocide, need to be fired.

UPenn loses $100,000,000 donation after Magill's congressional testimony

Frau Elizabeth Magill

University of Pennsylvania President Elizabeth Magill, along with Harvard President Claudine Gay and MIT President Sally Kornbluth testified before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. Each one of these bozos had similar prepared answers to the question posed by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) as to whether calling for the death of Jews went against the harassment policies of their respective schools. Each said, in effect, that it depended upon the context and whether the harassment went against an individual.

It was obvious that they were coached as to what to say and it was both cold and disgusting to hear them each refuse to admit what a 3-year-old could answer correctly. Not only that, but if the "context" was about black people or LGBTQ people, people would be expelled, if not indeed incarcerated.

So people chanting and calling for the genocide of Jews must be explored under an academic microscope because these three universitards are too simpleminded to recognize neo-Nazi and Islamic rhetoric in front of their smug faces.

That smugness and refusal to protect Jewish students has  cost UPenn $100 million (via Axios):

A UPenn donor is withdrawing a gift worth around $100 million to protest the school's response to antisemitism on campus. [With such a strong move, you might think the next thing to happen is for the school to forbid men to compete against women in sports.]

The final straw for Ross Stevens, founder and CEO of Stone Ridge Asset Management, was fed up with Tuesday's widely criticized congressional testimony by Penn's president Magill.

The gift from Stevens, a Penn undergrad alum, was given in December 2017 to help establish a center for innovation in finance. It was in the form of limited partnership units in Stone Ridge, with the current value estimated at around $100 million.

Stevens, in a letter from his lawyers to Penn, alleges that the school has violated the terms of the limited partnership agreement, including its anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies.

"Its permissive approach to hate speech calling for violence against Jews and laissez faire attitude toward harassment and discrimination against Jewish students would violate any policies of rules that prohibit harassment and discrimination based on religion, including those of Stone Ridge," Stevens wrote.

Magill has the constitutional right to say whatever she wants and defend her belief that Jews should all die, and Ross Stevens has the same right stand by his moral principals and refuse to support the school that holds the genocidal hatred. 

So UPenn can keep Magill on board as their president, but they should not expect decent people to support the school. Hopefully, this will carry over to every university and academic institution that supports hatred of any group of individuals.

Context? Schmontext.

Ivy League Presidents try damage control after anti-Semitic testimonies

L to R: Frau Magill, Frau Gay, Frau Kornbluth [photo: Babylon Bee]

Question: What’s the difference between a lightbulb and a prostitute?

Answer: You can unscrew a lightbulb.

The presidents of Harvard, and UPenn made a feeble attempt at damage control after they testified on Capitol Hill for the House Committee on Education and the Workplace on Tuesday regarding anti-Semitism at their respective schools of leftist learning and along with the president of MIT came off with talking points that were obviously prearranged, perhaps by a legal team. But they received tons of negative feedback from the public and knew they were screwed.

Harvard President Claudine Gay, MIT President Sally Kornbluth, and University of Pennsylvania President Elizabeth Magill each testified and when Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) asked them whether the call for genocide and mass violence against Jews would be considered a violation of harassment and bullying policies of their schools, she was stunned by the responses she received.

[H/T Townhall.com]

They tried to play it off as free speech and as long as nobody acted out on it, no foul, no harm. It all "depends on the context," or "when speech crosses into conduct."

What a load of crap. Put the shoe on the other foot and see how they would have responded if, say, genocide of blacks or gays was called for by students. You don't have to imagine the response because it's obvious.

Their prepared answers and failure to  "answer with moral clarity" shocked both those on the left and the right.

This is a question a child could answer, unless the child grew up in Gaza, perhaps.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, was livid.

White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement on Wednesday, “It’s unbelievable that this needs to be said: calls for genocide are monstrous and antithetical to everything we represent as a country. Any statements that advocate for the systematic murder of Jews are dangerous and revolting — and we should all stand firmly against them, on the side of human dignity and the most basic values that unite us as Americans.

“It should not be hard to condemn genocide, genocide against Jews, genocide against anyone else,” he told reporters. “I’ve said many times, leaders have a responsibility to speak and act with moral clarity, and Liz Magill failed to meet that simple test. There should be no nuance to that — she needed to give a one-word answer,” he added.

By Wednesday afternoon, a petition calling for Ms. Magill’s resignation had grown to more than 3,000 signatures. Marc Rowan, the chief of Apollo Global Management and the board chair at the Wharton School of Business at Penn, asked the board of trustees to rescind their support for Ms. Magill.

“How much damage to our reputation are we willing to accept?” he wrote in a letter to the trustees.

Governor Shapiro, who is a nonvoting member of Penn’s board, urged the trustees to meet soon.

University sources, speaking on background, said that efforts were underway to hold a board meeting by phone this week. The university did not respond immediately to a request for comment. [...]

One can imagine people in the Middle East scrambling to deal with damage control.

Bill Ackman, the billionaire hedge fund manager and Harvard alumnus, called on all three presidents to resign, citing the exchanges over genocide.

“It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews,” he wrote on X. “This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress.”

“They must all resign in disgrace,” he continued. “If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.” 

With so many calls to resign, Gay and Magill did damage control on Wednesday.

“In that moment, I was focused on our university’s longstanding policies aligned with the U.S. Constitution, which say that speech alone is not punishable, [blah, blah, blah]” Magill said in a video statement. “I was not focused on, but I should have been, the irrefutable fact that a call for genocide of Jewish people is a call for some of the most terrible violence human beings can perpetrate. It’s evil — plain and simple.”

Her Peter Strzok smile no longer seen on her face as she put on a serious demeanor and faked sincerity.

She went on to say she believed "it would be harassment or intimidation" and said Penn is initiating "a serious and careful look at our policies."

While donors may stop donating to these institutes of wokeism, unless something is done about stopping federal funding and foreign donations, nothing is going to change.

Stefanik to hold Judge Engoron accountable for 'Judicial bias' and 'bizarre behavior' in Trump fraud trial

Rep, Elise Stefanik (R-NY) filed an ethics complaint Friday against Judge Arthur Engoron [the word "engoron" is an ancient Greek word meaning 'English-speaking moron'] accusing him of "clear judicial bias" against former President Donald Trump in the civil fraud case against him. This is a case where Trump overvalued a property to receive a bank loan, and while it isn't actually against the law to over estimate the value of one's property, and lending establishments have experts who check on the over-value claim that most people ordinarily make, in Trump's case, anything he does that can be concocted to be illegal will be material for which he will be prosecuted . 

If Trump removed the "Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law" label from a "My Pillow" topper, Latisha James would have the FBI along with CNN breaking down his door at 4 a.m. to arrest him.

In a letter to the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct, Rep. Stefanik expressed her “serious concerns about the inappropriate bias and judicial intemperance shown” by Engoron. 

Engoron’s “bizarre behavior has no place in our judicial system,” she added, claiming he is “not honoring the defendant’s rights to due process and a fair trial.” 

And apparently he is a moron, as his ancient Greek name implies,  for not having the ability to self-censor.

The New York Republican further argued the judicial system is being “politicized” to affect the former president’s campaign.

Stefanik pointed to several examples of the judge’s problematic behavior, in addition to his viral moment in the courtroom. [H/T Townhall]

Stefanik says Cuomo implicated in "criminal scandal" over COVID nursing home deaths

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said that Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) was implicated in a "criminal corruption scandal" regarding New York's reported undercounting of coronavirus deaths in the state's nursing homes.

Stefanik spoke on Fox News' "The Story" with Martha MacCallum saying that New York lawmakers must hold Cuomo accountable for the state's serious underreporting of their death count in nursing homes.

Never admitting blame or responsibility when he has screwed the pooch, Cuomo defended his policy by insisting he followed federal guidelines at the time. If that was true, then why were other states not doing what Cuomo mandated: requiring nursing homes to take back COVID-positive patients from hospitals? 

The fact is, the guidelines specifically required that nursing homes meet strict standards and have special equipment before being allowed to take back COVID residents. Cuomo failed to take the guidelines seriously.

"This is the governor who has pointed fingers at everyone. He's pointed fingers at President Trump. He's pointed fingers at the seniors themselves, at the nursing homes, basically blaming everyone but himself," Stefanik said.

Cuomo is a garbage governor, a liar and an incompetent leader, in the opinion of many who get their news from more than leftist sources.

Stefanik went after the media and CNN in particular for its coverage of the failed governor, whose brother Chris "Fredo" Cuomo is a primetime anchor of a far-left show. On it, Fredo did an insensitive comedy act with his brother in the middle of the pandemic.

"It is a disgrace that CNN allows Chris Cuomo to just invite his brother and do those ridiculous fawning interviews. It’s an embarrassment now to the media," she said, not realizing that for CNN to be embarrassed, they need to have a modicum of self-awareness.

Stefanik said in the interview: 

"This is the governor who has pointed fingers at everyone. He's pointed fingers at President Trump. He's pointed fingers at the seniors themselves, at the nursing homes, basically blaming everyone but himself. In terms of following federal guidance, it is very clear that Governor Cuomo made the decision to put forth his executive order on March 25 requiring nursing homes to accept positive COVID patients, regardless of their ability to isolate those patients and have proper PPE ...

"My thoughts are this governor has avoided the truth for months and months and months. The reason why this is a criminal corruption scandal and not just a nursing home scandal is that they have known for months what the true count of deaths in nursing homes [was], whether it was in a hospital from a nursing home, or an individual who passed away in the nursing home and they have withheld that from the public ...There needs to be subpoenas issued immediately. Both Democrats and Republicans in the State Senate and State Assembly have agreed to that ..."

Let's not forget how Cuomo and New Jersey's Governor Murphy both complimented then President Trump for the federal assistance they received from his administration. New York, for example, received an entire hospital ship and respirators that ended up in excess or was underused by Cuomo.

But who are we kidding? These people are rarely held accountable for what should be described as criminal behavior.
