My name is Cara Castronuova, and I am an investigative journalist currently embroiled in a contentious legal battle with the Board of Elections and the New York State Republican Party as a candidate for United States Senate.
Republican Party leadership and a Board of Elections representative took me and multiple other candidates to election court to have us “thrown off the ballot” and stymied a Republican primary this year. There were no primaries on Primary Day! Your right to vote was subverted and a single Republican primary ballot did not exist, except for one in Queens District 25, and one in faraway Yates County.
Happy Birthday, America! Over the past 248 years, America has evolved and changed to become, as the Constitution says, a more perfect Union. However, the most remarkable part of our history was how our great nation was created. Without brave patriots like George Washington, who knows if America would even exist today for us to joyously celebrate every 4th of July? George Washington was the father of our country; a hero whose bravery, dedication, patriotism, and wisdom will never be forgotten. George Washington put everything on the line so that America could be free and would go on to become America’s first president despite his desire to retire to his Mount Vernon estate. While Washington was the face of the Revolution, there were countless patriots in the ranks of the Continental Army whom history may not remember by name but were invaluable to the cause of American independence. The Continental Army was outnumbered, outgunned, and fighting against the greatest empire in the world ─ Great Britain. It seemed like all the unsurpassable obstacles that could be stacked against the patriots were there and more, yet the Continental Army had one thing the British did not ─ the drive for freedom.
The most illegal migrant camps in NYC are in Queens in the districts of Congressman Meeks (39) and Ocasio-Cortez (26). What are they doing about it? NOTHING!
By Paul King for U.S. Congress, NY-05
On July 7, the New York Post revealed the location of all 193 migrant shelters in New York City. More than one third of them are in Queens. It should surprise nobody that Congressman Gregory Meeks’ district is host to by far the most migrant camps – 39.
Some may think it appropriate that his district got the lion’s share since Representative Meeks has long been a proponent of open borders and he supported the policies of President Biden that created this crisis. However, it is incredibly unfair to the residents of our district – especially in Jamaica and South Ozone Park. We are homeowners and citizens, just trying to make a life. Now we have the added burdens of overcrowded schools, increased lawlessness, and reduced services.
Investors interested in the stock market and financial news follow the Federal Reserve Bank, the Fed, as closely as Fox Mulder followed the cigarette-smoking man, but if you don’t care about stocks and bonds, you may wonder whether you should care about a big, boring bank.
You most definitely should care. The Fed is among the most important institutions in our country, yet news coverage about its operations and decisions is scarce and misleading. Nevertheless, the truth is out there, and just as the cigarette-smoking man seemed like a bore, what he was up to was not.
My reference to the cigarette-smoking man is apt because the Fed has a conspiratorial origin. Even the title of left-wing William Greider’s book, Secrets of the Temple, suggests a conspiracy, as does right-wing Gary Allen’s None Dare Call It Conspiracy. Other books about the Fed’s history are New Left historian Gabriel Kolko’s Triumph of Conservatism, which has a chapter on the history of the Fed, and libertarian economist Murray Rothbard’s What Has Government Done to Our Money and Mystery of Banking.

The Republican National Convention took place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from July 15th to July 18th. It was held in the Fiserv Forum, home of the Milwaukee Bucks. On Monday, July 15th, the Republican delegates voted on the Republican party platform, and nominated JD Vance for Vice President, and Donald J. Trump for President. Each night from Monday through Thursday the convention showcased speeches from Republican politicians, everyday Americans, celebrities, and supporters of President Trump.

In 1972, Title IX was enacted to ensure all students equal educational and athletic opportunities in federally funded educational activities regardless of their sex. With few exceptions, it states, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance…”
On March 8, 2021, to advance gender equity and equality, President Biden issued Executive Order 14020 which worked to establish a White House Gender Policy Council consisting of two designated chairs, all 15 federal cabinet secretaries, and other agency members. This action preceded the Department of Education’s new Title IX proposal drawn up in June of 2022, and President Biden’s 1577-page Unofficial Guidelines for Title IX finalized and released by the Department of Education in April of 2024. The new guidelines, scheduled to go into effect nationwide on August 1, 2024, expand the definition of sexual discrimination to include sexual stereotypes, sexual characteristics, sexual orientation, gender identity, and pregnancy and related conditions for students and employees.
Most everyone knows the earthshaking news that President Trump was shot yesterday at a rally in Bulter, Pa. in an assassination attempt on his life. Thank God President Trump survived and is safe. This is a turning point in American history. We can only conclude that this was an Act of God, a prelude to Trump’s victory and America’s return to greatness. God Bless America and President Trump!
Meritocracy, not political-machine mediocrity, should dictate how a judge is chosen. For decades, the Queens County Surrogate’s Court and its connected Office of Public Administration has been reputed to be a political plum that rewards friends of the Queens Democrat organization.
The Precinct Strategy creator breaks down why rallies and fundraising aren’t enough to get Donald Trump reelected; the Republican Party is at half-strength, needing 200,000 more volunteer MAGA precinct committeemen (out of 74 million Republican voters) to insure election day integrity; conservatives talk politics, but don’t do politics such as going to one meeting per month and getting people to the polls.
