We have been blessed to be citizens of America, our home, the greatest humanitarian cause in world history, the land of the free and the home of the brave, and now we must fight for this noble cause, so we don’t lose it. That’s why it’s so important to choose wisely in the upcoming General Election of 2024.
There have always been differences between Republicans and Democrats, but now it’s like day and night. Before his historic presidential victory in 2008, Obama said “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” Since then, the Democrat party has gone far to the left.
We live in a digital age where information about everything is at our fingertips anytime, anywhere. Unfortunately, much of the information we receive can be fraudulent or misleading. Deceptive practices aren’t unique to corporate America; they are rampant in the political realm as well. Case in point, the marketing of Proposition One, also known as the “Equal Rights” amendment, which will be on ballot in the general election. Voters take heed; it may not be evident, but a lot is at stake if this amendment passes by popular vote on November 5th.
Duplicity and deception appear to be at the heart of Proposition One; passed by both Democrat controlled houses in 2022 during a special legislative session, in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Democrats failed to follow proper procedure to amend the constitution by taking the first vote before Attorney General Letitia James gave her decision. Republicans filed suit in October 2023, NYS Supreme Court Justice Doyle ruled in their favor in May 2024, and the ERA was removed from the ballot. Undeterred, AG James appealed the Supreme Court’s decision and got the ruling overturned on a procedural error claiming the suit was filed past the deadline to file. Prop One will be on the ballot in November.
Voters should not be misled by the duplicitous marketing of Prop One, also known as the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Lawmakers could have put it on the ballot during the 2023 local election, yet they chose to wait until the general election this November. So how urgent was it? The answer is there was no reason for urgency. New York has been at the forefront of abortion rights since 1970, three years prior to the first Roe v. Wade Decision. In 2019, New York also passed the Reproductive Health Act to make the right to abortion part of state law, and in June of 2023 Governor Hochul passed legislation ensuring equal access to reproductive health care and abortion. Hochul herself touted, “I want everyone to know that abortion remains safe, accessible, and legal in New York.” Learn more about reproductive rights in NYC by visiting Attorney General James’ website: ag.ny.gov
Urging New Yorkers to vote yes for Prop One as a measure to prevent “anti-trans” legislation from being passed in New York is equally misleading. The legislation fallaciously referred to as “anti-trans” includes legislation that bans or limits minors from socially or medically transitioning without parental knowledge or consent, and legislation that prohibits biological males from competing in girls’ sports and sharing female only spaces. Be reminded there is a glaring lack of research regarding “gender affirming care” and any debate over it is either censored or discredited by proponents of Prop One. Concealment is a form of deception, and voters are being deceived.
NY State Constitution Article 1, Section 11, currently bans “laws and entities” from discriminating based on “race, color, creed or religion.” The proposed amendment would add protections based on “ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes and reproductive health care and autonomy.” This vague and broadly written ballot proposal may seem unobjectionable but has the potential to strip away parental rights and remove guardrails already in place to protect children. Consider the possible ramifications of altering the state constitution without further deliberation:
A yes vote on Prop One will NOT promote equality, it will not protect human rights, it will legitimize and mandate discrimination against anyone who doesn’t fall in line with far-left agenda. Protect your children. Protect your freedom. Vote NO on Prop One.

Since the start of Hamas attacks on Israel last October, we often heard the word “Holocaust”. Let’s look at what in dictionary it means.
The term “Holocaust” originates from ancient Greek, meaning “Burnt Offering”. Historians used it before World War II to describe the mass death of people. However, since 1945, it has become synonymous with the murder of European Jews during the war. This is why we use the term “Holocaust” when referring to Jewish persecution.
One may question why such a horrific event like the Holocaust occurred and how one person could act so cruelly toward another.
On July 21, 2024, at our annual Family Fun Day BBQ, we displayed a huge prayer card for President Trump, one week after his miraculous survival escaping an assassins’ bullet. Hundreds signed the card and poured out their hearts and prayers for President Trump and for America. We carefully packaged and shipped the card to Mar-a-Lago with love from the Queens Village Republican Club, and received the heartfelt letter below from President Trump.
Here’s the speech in its entirety. Forgive me if there are errors; I tried to catch them all. This article was originally published by Pjmedia.com

I’m sorry to keep everybody waiting. Sixteen months ago, in April of 2023, I launched my campaign for president of the United States. I began this journey as a Democrat, the party of my father, my uncle, the party which I pledged my own allegiance to long before I was old enough to vote.
I attended my first Democratic convention at the age of 6 in 1960, and back then, the Democrats were the champions of the Constitution and of civil rights. The Democrats stood against authoritarianism, against censorship, against colonialism, imperialism, and unjust wars.
We were the party of labor, of the working class. The Democrats were the party of government transparency and the champion of the environment. Our party was the bulwark against big money interests and corporate power. True to its name, it was the party of democracy. As you know, I left that party in October because it had departed so dramatically from the core values that I grew up with.
It had become the party of war, censorship, corruption, big pharma, big tech, big ag, and big money. When it abandoned democracy by canceling the primary to conceal the cognitive decline of the sitting president, I left the party to run as an independent.
As someone who was raised and has lived in South Jamaica, Queens, for almost my entire life, I see the Mayor’s proposed “City of Yes” initiative as nothing short of blatant corruption. This plan is an attempt to sell out our few prestigious residential neighborhoods to large developers, betraying the communities that make our city unique. Residents in my neighborhood have consistently expressed desires for better roads, improved infrastructure to reduce flooding, and better schools to serve our children. Instead of focusing efforts on improving the quality of life for its taxpayers, the Mayor and large developers, in an authoritarian style, are attempting to force neighborhoods where people chose to live in low-density areas to raise children to give up their sovereignty under the guise of “affordable housing.”
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.
