Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes annually, typically without being fired. Eric Adams and I both know this. Upon any ominous thump in the night, my dad instantly appeared armed to protect me. Once a bullet grazed the top of his head leaving his hair with a perfect part! As a daughter of an NYPD detective, I viscerally know the duality of comfort and fear guns evoke. Yet, unlike Eric Adams, who carries his own revolver in addition to private security, I don’t believe the second amendment is meant just for me.

“An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic. Self- government is not possible unless the citizens are educated sufficiently to enable them to exercise oversight. It is therefore imperative that the nation see to it that a suitable education be provided for all its citizens.” – Thomas Jefferson
“No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated.”—Nelson Mandela
Elena Chin
An educated citizenry is a requisite for the survival of our country. The goal of public education should be to impart the knowledge necessary for students to become enlightened and independent citizens capable of protecting and defending liberty. Informed citizens demonstrate full understanding of the constitution, their rights, and the duties of government.
Parents all over the country are concerned with their children’s education and have good reason to be. During the pandemic parents got a first-hand look at what their children were being taught. With left-wing Progressives in charge of our school system for the past 100 years, the goals of public education have changed drastically. Most students have little or no knowledge of America’s history or civic traditions. Public education is failing to prepare most students for future self-governance.
Elementary school children are now being exposed to the same left-wing ideology college students have been exposed to for decades. Leftist school boards are pushing Critical Race Theory, anti-American ideology, political correctness, sex education, and transgenderism on children as young as preschoolers. Our education system is sowing seeds of division. Patriotism has been replaced by divisive identity politics. Children are being taught that our country is inherently racist and that they are either victims or oppressors.
The public education system is failing our students. Teachers, parents, and students are all victims of a system taken over by left-wing politicians and activists. Children are being robbed of their innocence, confused about their sexuality, and denied a quality education. Teachers’ creativity and ability to customize student learning is hampered by top-down policies and procedure. Frustration levels are high and job satisfaction is poor. Parents who oppose the indoctrination and sexualization of their children are being labeled domestic terrorists. The number of suicides and school shootings are on the rise while attendance rates, test scores, and graduation rates are declining.
Students are leaving the public school system in record numbers. Enrollment is down by 1.3 million nationwide and by 9% in New York City since the beginning of the pandemic. The home-schooling trend is growing rapidly. Remaining true to its mission, Hillsdale College is offering concerned parents of K-12 students who want to actively participate in their children’s education by providing a wealth of free resources developed by their finest professors and some of the very best K-12 teachers (rather than left wing bureaucrats). The Hillsdale 1776 Curriculum and the K-12 Classical Education Curriculum provide a complete collection of lesson plans, resources, and assessments for teaching core subjects, American history, civics, and government The Hillsdale curriculum is a valuable asset to parents who are home schooling as well as parents who wish to to supplement or counter what their children are learning in public school. Join Hillsdale College in the work upon which the future of our nation depends. Take an active role in teaching your children what informed citizens must know in order to defend our great American heritage and liberty. An educated populace cannot be manipulated: it is the best defense against tyranny. In the words of Ronald Reagan:
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
So, last month, I convinced you of the importance of the Republican County Committee and that YOU need to be on it. Great! So, now what do you do?
First you contact Joseph Concannon at info@QueensCountyRepublicanPatriots.com. Joe knows which seats are still empty – which is most of them – and will guide you step-by-step.
Fortunately, you will not start until next March, which gives you plenty of time to learn the ropes.
Here, I will give you an overview of the process so that you can see that it’s not complicated.

“We have taken a stance that we are no longer concerned with living comfortably if we are not free, which begins with the defense and preservation of our constitutional rights.”
New York City was one of the most prominently affected cities not only by the COVID-19 pandemic but its subsequent lockdowns, protocols, and mandates. In response, NYC educators, including teachers, paraprofessionals, related service providers, secretaries, and other essential workers, were tasked with efficiently adapting to the changes implemented by the city in order to provide our students with the most successful learning experience. Moving from classroom to remote setting required us to be more than just stationary classroom teachers. We were not only educators, but our interactions were therapeutic to students and families, as we were relied on daily for support to alleviate the stress and anxieties provoked by these citywide changes. While not ideal, the virtual classrooms were safe havens for students who were hardest hit by the physical, social, and emotional impact that mandates and lockdowns brought to our city.
“We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” – Joe Biden, 10/25/20.
So, what is your opinion? Do you believe that the election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden was the “most secure election in American history?” That’s what the Democrats, liberals, and a whole lot of Never-Trump Republicans want us to believe.
Dinesh D’Souza’s new documentary, “2000 Mules,” answers this question, with overwhelming evidence. Of the many ways election fraud can be accomplished, this film focuses on the use of drop boxes, and how “mules,” people who carried thousands of ballots from a ballot collection site to multiple drop boxes, were discovered and tracked.
As a big fan of the TV show NCIS, I have often seen the main characters use cell phone data to track and locate perpetrators and victims alike. I never gave it any thought; it’s just TV. But the truth is that intelligence agencies, the military, and law enforcement all use cell phones to track people. How? Each cell phone has a unique identity, as unique as a fingerprint or DNA. Over 300,000 phone apps gather data on each cell phone and sell it to brokers. The data can pinpoint the location of a cell phone by latitude, longitude, and elevation very precisely. And it is time-stamped. If you are on one block one minute, and on another block two minutes later, your movement can be tracked and monitored. Even if your cell phone is turned off! The CDC actually used this to monitor social distancing during Covid. A frightening thought!
The non-profit organization, True the Vote, bought vast amounts of this type of cell phone data for geo-tracking in five cities in the key swing states. They looked specifically at areas surrounding the drop boxes. Wanting the lowest margin of error, the researchers only investigated phones that went to a minimum of 10 drop boxes and five ballot collection sites. In one case, the cell phone traveled across six counties to 27 different drop boxes. Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips, working for True the Vote, tracked 2,000 cell phones making such patterns. Not included in their research were cell phones that traveled to fewer than 10 drop boxes, or fewer than five ballot collection sites. Therefore, the data presented in this film actually under-represents the amount of illegal ballot harvesting in the election.
There have been many questions and complaints about the film, mostly by so-called “fact-
checkers” who wanted either to have this documentary banned, or who wanted to discredit the information presented. Here are some:
How do you know who had the phone?
How do you know they weren’t just dropping off ballots for family members?
How do you know they weren’t just walking by the drop box?
Why isn’t there surveillance video footage of these people?
Geo-tracking of cell phones isn’t valid evidence.
First, a cell phone does not travel from drop box to drop box by itself. It is carried by someone, usually the person who owns the phone. Frequently, these people took selfies of themselves at the drop boxes to verify that they actually did what they were being paid to do – at $10 per ballot.
Were these people, all 2,000 of them, just dropping off ballots for family members? Why would someone have to go to 10 or more drop boxes, between the hours of 1:00AM and 5:00AM, the time all of these phones were tracked, to drop off grandma’s ballot? Remember the case I cited above – 26 drop boxes across six counties? As Dinesh D’Souza asks, “Can you think of even one reasonable and innocent explanation for such behavior?” I can’t.
Furthermore, people were not “just walking by” the drop boxes. The tracking shows people going TO the drop boxes, staying there a few minutes while they stuffed ballots in the boxes, and then leaving away from the boxes. In order to get to the drop boxes, these “mules” had to drive from box to box to box, often crossing county lines, and sometimes even crossing state lines. In the wee small hours of the morning. All of that movement recorded. They were not “walking by.”
As for the all-important question about video footage, there are actually 4 million minutes of video footage. Some of it shows the mules at the drop boxes, and it matches up precisely with the cell phone data. Unfortunately, a lot of the footage is of low quality, or even non-existent – a big problem and a big question mark. In Arizona, the cameras were mysteriously, and conveniently, turned off when these drops were being made. In other places, like Wisconsin, cameras were never installed, even though they were supposed to be. And in other places, the cameras were angled at the ground, or the lenses were cracked, etc. Makes you wonder.
Geo-tracking of cell phones is as irrefutable evidence as fingerprints and DNA. It is used by intelligence, the military, and law enforcement to make arrests. In fact, geo-tracking was used extensively by the FBI in finding people who were at the capitol on January 6th, 2021. In many cases, people were arrested in only a few days which indicates that the FBI had been tracking those people before January 6th, before any alleged “crime.” How scary is that? In any case,
geo-tracking is certainly considered legally valid when the Democrats use it; it’s just not valid when conservatives use it. A convenient double standard, as always.
No matter which side of the fence you’re on, there is so much evidence here that only someone with a vested interest in being willfully blind would refuse to see it.
Every American should see this film!
Okay. Where? The film had a limited release in 250 movie theaters around the country in early May, and it may be released again in theaters. In the meantime, you can buy the film, rent the film, or buy the DVD at SalemNow.com. You can also watch it on Locals.com (a subsidiary of Rumble.com).
What is important here is that there is evidence that enough ballots were dropped to change the outcome of the election. And this documentary only investigated five swing states. What about the rest of the country?
Might Trump have won NY?
According to RedVoiceMedia.com, on 5/10/22, an organization called NYCA filed 15 petitions against 15 counties in New York State with officials in Albany. They are claiming that there are over 2 million questionable registrations and votes in New York, where Biden won by 1,992,889 votes. NYCA claims that they have evidence of stolen votes, fake registrations, and over 10,000 people who were 170 years old when they voted! Imagine 170-year-olds getting out and voting!
What will come of their petitions? Considering that the NY Attorney General is Letitia James, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
The truth is that despite all the evidence presented in “2000 Mules,” if law enforcement refuses to investigate, we can yell and scream ‘til the cows come home, nothing will be done. Already, the Michigan Secretary of State’s Office has said that they saw “nothing illegal” in the film pertaining to Michigan. On the other hand, the Yuma County, AZ Sheriff’s Office has said that they will investigate.
Perhaps the most positive thing I can write is that “2000 Mules” has made over $10 million in just two weeks, which means people are seeing the movie, despite the fact that media is actively trying to suppress news of it. Even Tucker Carlson of Fox News, when interviewing
Catherine Engelbrecht, the main researcher of the cell phone data, forbade her to mention the movie on air. Nevertheless, word is getting out. It is perhaps the biggest trending hashtag on Twitter as I write this in mid-May.
Once again – everyone should see this film. Everyone should know what happened. We must be galvanized to fight for voter integrity laws and we must win. How? By putting people in office who support this fight. If we don’t, we will watch the demise of our beloved country!
Eileen Korby, along with her father, Sol Korby, is a candidate for a seat on the Republican County Committee.
Our June 2nd Club Meeting was the Movie Night viewing of 2000 Mules, a documentary film created by Dinesh D’Souza, that exposes widespread, coordinated voter fraud in the 2020 election, sufficient to change the overall outcome, with a special introduction and open discussion after the viewing led by Professor Nicholas Giordano. We heard from a couple of Republican candidates as well. Here are the videos of this incredible night. You can watch 2000 Mules or buy the DVD at SalemNOW.com.

Pura DeJesus-Coniglio, Republican for congress vs AOC
by Eileen Korby Candidate for Republican County Committee (AD 25/ED 17)
It’s Election Day in November and you go to the polls to vote. You tick off your choices for the major Republican candidates you want (President, or Governor, or Mayor), then you continue down the column and you see something disturbing. In the election for local judges, there are only Democrat candidates, and they are running unopposed. I am sure that this has aggravated every one of us. But why does it happen? How do those judicial candidates get on the ballot anyway?
The short answer (to a complicated question) is that the County Committee plays a big part in getting candidates for judgeships on the ballot. Every county in New York State has both a Democrat and Republican County Committee. Those who serve on the County Committees are unpaid, elected volunteers. It might surprise you to learn that, in Queens, there are currently over 2,800 empty seats on the Republican County Committee. Perhaps that is part of the explanation for Republicans being underrepresented on the ballot for local elections.
But take heart! Things are changing in Queens. The Queens County Republican Patriots, a non-profit organization, is helping dedicated Republican citizens to fill those empty seats. A number of people, my father and I among them, will be on the Primary ballot on June 28th for the Republican County Committee.
Why are we doing it? Because we can’t stand watching our city devolve into the lawless nightmare it has become any longer. We want to see judges on the ballot who have our safety as their primary objective.
That’s not the only thing Republican County Committee members do. The committee elects party leadership and votes on party policies for the county. On occasion, the County Committee chooses candidates for special elections. This occurs if a state official dies or resigns during his/her term in office. The importance of this cannot be understated. According to a 2017 report by Citizens Union, 33% of the New York State Assembly, and 19% of the New York Senate were chosen in a special election. Many, if not most, of those legislators then go on to win those seats in the general election.
I want to leave you with two thoughts:
First, it is extremely important not to sit out the Republican Primary and wait for November. The Republican County Committee seats are only filled in the Primary election. We need to build the Republican Party in Queens, and we need to build it with people who are true Republicans, dedicated to the conservative values that will save our city, and our country.
Second, I would like to plant a seed in your mind that YOU might like to serve on the Republican County Committee yourself. Don’t just shake your head in anger at the destruction you see. Get involved. Build and strengthen the Republican Party in Queens. The deadline may have passed for this June’s ballot, but there is next year. I will write again, in another issue of the Queens County Beacon, explaining the process. It isn’t hard, so please let that seed take root. In the meantime, you can check out QueensCountyRepublicanPatriots.com and start coming to meetings.
Lastly, I want to ask you to vote on Tuesday, June 28th, in the Primary. And if you live between 188th Street and 199th Street, and between 73rd Avenue and Union Turnpike, please vote for my father and me: Sol Korby and Eileen Korby. Thank you.
Sol Korby is a veteran who proudly served our country. Eileen Korby is a retired NYC public school teacher.
