Just
yesterday, Gov. Kathy Hochul appeared on MSNBC’s “Politics Nation” to make some
very starling claims.
MSNBC is the premier
platform for Democrats seeking to peddle misinformation. The others mainstream
media outlets are also welcoming, but they are slight chances of some pushback
when the fabrication goes too far. But on MSNBC there will only be nods of
approval.

Hochul claimed the
following about the GOP and her rival in the gubernatorial race Lee
Zeldin :
“They have this
conspiracy going all across America trying to convince people in Democratic
states that they’re not as safe. Well, guess what? They’re also not only
election deniers, they’re data deniers."
Hochul drew heat last week when she dismissed concerns of New
Yorkers about the subway and other violent crimes as a “sense of fear.”
The polls show
Hochul’s ‘lead’
slipping. Hochul was 20-point ahead over the
summer, however recent polls showed Zeldin just seven points behind
Hochul. Real Clear Politics which does an average of all polls now shows New York as a “toss-up” state.
As election day
approaches, biased polling agencies are compelled to show factual polls in
order to retain some credibility.
Some have attributed Hochul’s
sinking polls to Zeldin's messaging
on crime during his campaign.
So what is the situation relating to crime in New York State?
Let’s take NYC as an
example.
The NYPD
Website states
the following:
“For the month of
September 2022, the number of overall shooting incidents decreased in New York
City compared with September 2021”
“Citywide shooting
incidents decreased by 13.2% (118 v. 136), driven by significant declines in
Brooklyn, southern Queens, the Bronx, and northern Manhattan.”
“The number of
murders citywide decreased for the month of September by 23.5% (39 v. 51)
compared to the same period last year.”
In September, there
were 118 shooting incidences and 39 murders in NYC alone.
Statistics that crime
is declining cannot maybe a matter of pride for Hochul but it offers no hope to
those who have suffered due to violent crimes. Those who lost loved ones or
suffered serious injuries cannot be consoled by statistics. People fearing
to step out at night for the fear of being attacked, cannot be told to step out
because the rate of crime has decreased.
It must be noted
that all other
major crimes have surged — including a
33% rise in robberies.
Violent incidents in
New York are up since the
pandemic began — and New
Yorkers are nervous.
A lot of it has got to do with the Democrat's advocacy of defunding the police. Hochul may have pledged 100 percent support for law enforcement but there are many within her administration that support the defund the police movement.
Liberal judges being lenient with violent criminals instead of sending them to prison are equally part of the problem
Hochul then mentioned
Zeldin’s opposition to gun control measures.
This is how Democrats
usually operate, all crises are exploited to push their unpopular agenda. In
this case, it is gun control i.e. policing of legal gun owners.
“He (Zeldin)“ doesn’t
support a single one of our gun safety measures and thinks that the way to get
people safe in New York is to arm our teachers. Now that’s, that’s next-level.
We cannot be arming our teachers, we have to get the guns off the street,
something Lee Zeldin refuses to do.”
Gun control measures
are meaningless because illegal weapons do not come under the measures and most
crimes occur with illegal weapons.
Hochul probably
forgets that guns are the only affordable means for regular people to defend
themselves. In the event of a home invasion or a street attack or a mugging
incident, a gun could be the sole hope of self-defense.

Hochul is out of
touch like most Democrats because she doesn’t suffer the consequences of her
misgovernance.
Hochul won't be affected due to the crime wave or gun control. She lives in a mansion
protected by armed bodyguards who also travel with her wherever she goes.
Hence she dismisses the concerns of New Yorkers about crimes.
Apart from crime,
there are other serious questions about Hochul
The New
York Post recently reported that Hochul’s administration g a
granted government contract of around $637 million for millions of COVID-19
test kits to a New Jersey-based firm called Digital Gadgets.
Critics pointed the
cost per test kit was twice the number of test kits offered by other firms.
It was then revealed
that Digital Gadgets donated over $300,000 to Hochul’s campaign.
The
NY Post also reported that Hochul backed the Penn Station
redevelopment project that could offer more than $1 billion in tax breaks to
Vornado Realty Trust, a real estate investment firm.
The head of Vornado,
Steve Roth, donated $68,700 to Hochul’s campaign.
Both of these look
like shady quid pro quo deals.
Hochul also backed an
$850 million, taxpayer-funded deal to build a $1.4 billion stadium for the
Buffalo Bills stadium. The deal includes a potential
contract with Delaware North, the major
food concessionaire at the current Buffalo Bills’ Stadium.
It was revealed later
that Kathy's husband, Bill Hochul is senior vice president and general counsel
at Delaware North. Bill eventually recused himself
from Delaware North’s work in New York.
But this is a clear
case of conflict of interest.
Recently it was
reported that New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s administration is being accused in a
lawsuit of secretly slashing access to specialty doctors — and potentially
life-saving medical treatment — for 1.2 million government workers
and retirees, The Post has learned.
Recently,
Hochul’s administration was accused in a lawsuit of secretly slashing
access to specialty doctors and potentially life-saving medical treatment. 1.2
million government workers and retirees are impacted by this.
The suit claims that
the health insurance program has dramatically slashed the reimbursement rates
that out-of-network doctors could receive for providing services to plan
members. This refers to doctors who do not have a contract health insurance
provider.
The impact of such
actions could be life-threatening since patients will not be able to choose the
best doctor or surgeon available.
So what is the
situation in New York state currently?
New Yorkers have a
governor that hasn’t been democratically elected but who took over only after
Governor Andrew Cuomo was compelled to quit following a series of sexual
harassment allegations.
She has been proven
to be incompetent, apathetic, and perhaps even corrupt owing to her myriad
deals that show major conflicts of interest.
It will be interesting to see if New Yorkers can break through the
relentless Democrat brainwashing and choose against the groupthink that is peddled
to them interminably through various mediums.
If Zeldin is indeed elected, it won't be the end but the beginning
of his challenges.
The Democrat machinery in New York could claim he is illegitimate for a variety of reasons, it doesn't take them much to invent. They could also misuse the bureaucracy and permanent administration to place impediments before him and prevent him from implementing his agenda.
Let’s hope Zeldin is ready for the fight.
