HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!!
This is the most important year for each and every one of us and for our country as well. For my New Year’s resolutions, besides the health and happiness of my wife, my family and friends, and other personal items, this is the year I resolve to build the Club and the grassroots Republican Party and win elections here in Queens, and to unleash my maximum potential for the greatness of our city, state and nation. This way, I will be joining millions of other patriots who are fighting to restore our country to the values and ideals that made America great. I look forward to working together with all of you in 2016!
Happy New Year!
Phil Orenstein

The Heroic Kurds: America’s Mistreated Ally
The Heroic Kurds: America’s Mistreated Ally
By Robert Golomb
Kurdish freedom fighters, quietly allied with America, made international headlines this year when they liberated from the beastly rule of ISIS the Syrian city of Kobani in January, and again ten months later when they freed the Iraqi city of Sinjar. That rule which began with ISIS’ invasion of those two cities in late 2014 had been brutal: Christians and Kurds in both cities had been murdered and raped in countless thousands. Their liberation by the Kurdish freedom fighters one year later had saved countless others from the same fate. It was a liberation that, it was said by some at the time, was made mainly possible by the Kurdish/ American alliance.
LINCOLN DINNER 2016 SHAPING UP TO BE ANOTHER BLOCKBUSTER
Our Club over the decades has been known as the producer of the most lavish Republican political event of the year: the annual Lincoln Dinner. Our Club revived this exciting event around 1994 after a hiatus of several years. Today it is once again the event to be at and be seen at. A sampling of past bold face headliners include: Florida Congressman Lt. Col. Allen West, Mayor Bloomberg, Mayor Rudy Giuliani, NYS gubernatorial candidate and author Herb London, anti-Islamist firebrand Pam Geller, CUNY board member and lightning rod Jeffrey Wiesenfeld, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol, just to name a few.
