Save Teddy Roosevelt!

“This statue is of a proud American. Was he perfect? No. No one was perfect… he did a lot for this country, We’re here today because we’ve bettered ourselves as a society and we continue to better ourselves as a society. But we’ll never be able to do that anymore if we continue to tear down our history and forget our past — and we’ll be doomed to repeat it.” – Gavin Wax

A crowd of 200 patriots rallied to Save Teddy Roosevelt’s statue, in front of the American Museum of Natural History on Sunday June 28th. The “Save Teddy” rally was organized by Gavin Wax, president of the New York Young Republican Club. Many Queens people, and the Queens Village Republican Club and Whitestone Republican Club were on hand to stand up for American History and to raise our voices against the influence of the mob tearing down our statues and our shared history. 

Unlike the recent protests, which often descend into violence and mayhem, and always are accompanied by openly hateful anti-police and anti-America slurs, the diverse crowd at the Save Teddy rally were respectful, peaceful, and articulate. The New York Post quoted Gavin Wax: “This statue is of a proud American. Was he perfect? No. No one was perfect… he did a lot for this country, We’re here today because we’ve bettered ourselves as a society and we continue to better ourselves as a society. But we’ll never be able to do that anymore if we continue to tear down our history and forget our past — and we’ll be doomed to repeat it.”

The museum is bowing to a small minority of thugs who don’t know anything about American History. They are even tearing down statues of Lincoln, the emancipator of the slaves, and George Washington, the father of our county. They are defacing monuments to abolitionists, anti-slavery activists, as well as the Massachusetts 54th Regiment dedicated to black soldiers who helped the Union win the Civil War.   Teddy Roosevelt, who is memorialized on Mount Rushmore, was one of our greatest Republican and American presidents. He was the protector of the common person, the working person of any race. His list of accomplishments for the benefit of the people is endless, including busting monopolies, protecting our environment with conservation acts, protecting our food products and health with the FDA, starting college athletic programs with the NCAA, uniting Americans of all races, colors and creeds, and so much more. Here are some of the highlights of the rally in video and photos.

We Must End the Slavery of One-Party Rule

By Phil Orenstein

We need a two-party system in NYC and cities across America, otherwise with one political party controlling black and disadvantaged communities, their lives and destinies, they are left bereft of choices, deprived of freedom. Freedom is choice, and without it, you are living in slavery. The Democrat Party and urban media has kept them beaten down in slavery. They have become slaves to one party. We must end the slavery of one-party rule.

The latest of the cataclysmic social events of the past few months is the devastating summer crime wave which has started hitting hard in our black communities. NYC has seen dozens of recent shootings, and after pressure to defund the police, the plainclothes anti-crime unit was disbanded in mid-June and we are now witnessing the biggest spike in gun violence and murders in decades.  

In his column “Time for Republicans to Give Black Voters a Real Choice” Robert Hornak says that many center-right folks have missed the point when offering the facts to explain away the “pain that real people peacefully protesting are feeling.” While the roots of the historical problem in black communities is deeper than he suggests, it’s a good thing he’s calling for “the larger conversation we need to have on race relations in America.”

This larger conversation presents us with a positive opportunity to work with the black community and welcome them into the Republican Party, the Party of freedom, opportunity, law and order, prosperity, and choice. However, we don’t want to use the language of the extreme left such as “systemic racism” which invariably points the narrative to Republicans and police which couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s a smoke screen, covering up the real problems.

Time For Republicans To Give Black Voters a Real Choice

However, a rebuttal will be coming soon on the deep-rooted historical problem in Black and minority communities in cities across American, and offer a solution based on Republican principles. 

In recent days many people whose politics lean center-right have been trying to give “the facts” on racism in America. This completely misses the point and is nothing more than a distraction from the need to address a real and very serious problem and from the larger conversation we need to have on race relations in America. 

Republicans should immediately please stop. And listen. Listen to the pain that real people peacefully protesting are experiencing. Do not allow the small group of violent thugs, looters and Marxist agitators hijack this very real crises and change the debate to the one they want to have, with all blame, accusations, and no solutions. Don’t take the bait from those who seek to profit from further dividing America. 

There are many ways to parse the numbers if you want to examine race and inequality. You can also debate whether it is systemic racism or something else. But at least we should all agree, putting politics aside for just a minute, that there are problems unique to Black America and something real and constructive needs to be done to solve this systemic problem.

Cuomo Searching For Scapegoats To Blame For His Deadly Coronavirus Order As 10,000+ Nursing-Home Patients Have Lost Lives To COVID-19

NEW YORK, NY – When this past March 25^th Governor Andrew Cuomo’s New York State Department of Health (NYSDH) issued an official order requiring nursing homes admit patients infected with the coronavirus, many of the 19.4 million citizens of New York State probably understood that the governor was a man unafraid to exercise the power of his high executive office in the name of public health.      

However, as many of these same New Yorkers also soon later learned, that order proved to be a death sentence for the estimated 11,000- 12,000 nursing home patients and approximately 500 nursing home employees who died from the infection. Still, Cuomo blamed others for this tragedy.    

The person Cuomo first blamed was President Trump. Referring to a March 13th guideline issued by Trump Administration’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) which recommended that nursing homes accept patients coming from hospitals treating coronavirus patients, Cuomo at a later press conference stated, “New York followed the president’s agencies’ guidance. What New York did was follow what the Republican Administration said to do.”  

Missing from Cuomo’s blame Trump thesis are four burdensome facts. The first is that Trump’s CDC made it clear that nursing homes were not required (contrary to Cuomo’s bizarre interpretation of their written guidelines) to admit coronavirus patients. Rather, the CDC recommended only that nursing homes not discriminate against those non-coronavirus patients who had been originally sent by hospitals who are caring for patients with that awful disease. It remains unclear why the governor was unable to understand this clear and important distinction.
