Goya Foods chief executive, Robert Unanue, praised President Trump while at the White House. Unanue said,” the country was blessed to have Trump at the helm.” He also said Trump is a builder and we will continue to prosper and to grow. Well I agree. At the event President Trump signed an executive order on the White House Hispanic Prosperity Initiative. He also tweeted, I LOVE @GoyaFoods! ” Now there are those who want to boycott Goya Foods because of praise for President Trump. This I find most sad. Now I thought in America we live in a free country and have freedom of speech. As for myself I serve in the United States Navy during the Vietnam era and supported the right of free speech. Now meanwhile Unanue, announced a plan, along with partners, to donate 1 million cans of chickpeas and 1 million pounds of food to food banks. This is a beautiful think to do in my book. Those on the left may not think so because of praise for President Trump. As for myself, I intend to buy more Goya products and will tell my friends, neighbors and relatives to do the same. A purchase of Goya Foods is a salute for free speech. Hurray for Goya Foods !

Message and graphic images from Curtis Sliwa on Occupy City Hall:
Occupy City Hall, Thursday July 9, 2020
All day long Comrade Bill de Blasio spends his days painting black lives matter onto the streets of NYC. Meantime he permits the black lives matter/antifa group to occupy city hall. As you can see they have graffiti up all the gov’t buildings surrounding city hall. Since all that de Blasio is capable of doing as of late is paint, let’s put his acquired skills to work. He has emasculated the police and shut down the rest of the city except for the black lives matter protests. It would be nice for him to get out his roller and paint and begin to cover up the massive amount of anti-cop graffiti that he allows to stay up.
Look at the one picture where the demonstrator is lynching a police officer. Could you imagine if the roles were reversed? ALL HELL would break loose. Since the newly empowered CANCEL CULTURE is trying to limit free speech would this be considered free speech?
“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.
