The total estimated cost of running the Department of Education has exceeded $4 trillion in inflation-adjusted dollars since its inception, ranking sixth among federal agencies in total spending. Since it was established in1980, department spending has increased by approximately 371% while overall spending increased by approximately 193%. In the last decade alone, the department’s estimated cost was $1.96 trillion, primarily due to COVID-19 relief fund allocations for remote learning support and health and safety protocols. While these funds were intended to benefit students, the biggest beneficiaries were large tech companies such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Zoom, not the students.
Everyone had a great time at the lively June 5th meeting of the Queens Village Republican Club at Marbella Restaurant in Bayside featuring guest speaker, Curtis Sliwa, who talked about the mayor’s race in NYC, his opponents, and his stunning opportunity for victory. He discussed the issues that affect all New Yorkers, from crime, to the City of Yes, Lithium-Ion Battery facilities, migrant shelters, and much more, as we all pledged our total support for Curtis, the next mayor of New York City!
The Queens Business Coalition proudly hosted a packed and spirited reception in support of Maud Maron, the Republican candidate for Manhattan District Attorney, at the Oasis Café in Bayside. The event brought together a dynamic crowd of local business leaders, restaurant and hospitality owners, and members of the Queens Village Republican Club, who helped organize the evening. Guests enjoyed music by the American Conservative Artists, adding to the festive and patriotic atmosphere. During the event a surprise cake was brought out to celebrate Maud’s birthday!
The Maud for Manhattan campaign extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended and contributed so generously. Maud expressed her excitement at the tremendous turnout and strong grassroots energy behind her candidacy, calling it “a powerful sign that New Yorkers are ready to take back their streets and restore dignity and justice to the DA’s office.”
The reception’s key goal was to raise funds to reach out to disillusioned Manhattan voters—Democrats, independents, and Republicans alike—who are fed up with the unchecked crime, riots, and lawlessness under Soros-backed DA Alvin Bragg. These voters want change, and they’re rallying behind Maud Maron, a candidate with the courage and integrity to hold violent criminals accountable and make public safety a top priority.
If you missed the event or want to further support this critical race, the campaign’s donation link remains active. Help us expand our reach and ensure Maud Maron’s message continues to resonate across Manhattan.
