A thought on petitioning from club’s president…

As petitioning enters its pre-Commissioners Hearing (April 28-29, 2026) stage, I wondered how political friends and enemies, trust and distrust, games and tricks are being played. Is there a win-win solution? A Competition Proposal:   If the establishment wants to avoid a primary, have the competing candidates (insurgent or establishment) who collected the least number of valid signatures file a Declination.  The Committee to Fill Vacancies would then Substitute in the winning candidate giving the Replacement more signatures against the Democrats! During this 2026 cycle, Central Queens Republican Club petitioned for 10 candidates not on the County's slate in Queens and Brooklyn.  Three did not have enough signatures to survive a challenge so three declinations were filed giving signa...

Is Pope Leo XIV Right On His Critique of President Trump’s War With Iran?

With all due respect to his holiness Pope Leo XIV and the Roman Catholic Church, being the Pope doesn’t mean Pope Leo XIV is right all the time as he criticizes President Trump's  war against Iran's oppressive, despotic, terrorist, Islamic government of the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei a vile, sick,  murderous theologian. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei does not represent the true Islam religion. He has bastardized and formulated his own version of a righteous religion that has been corrupted by the Ayatollah and his regime. The Holy Father Pope Leo XIV said nothing when Iran's religious leader the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei slaughtered 43,000 of his own Iranian citizens, mostly young people for protesting in the streets with signs and placards against his leadership and were gunned down in cold blood for...

Trump Haters, This is Why You Are Intellectually Bankrupt!

To Trump's critics, yes President Trump is all over the place and says lots of things, some good and some not so good. Yes he is a bully and has no filter. On top of that he is a narcissist with a big ego, a man who loves flattery, self adornment, loves to brand his creations with his name,  surrounds himself with flatterers, who are talented  people with proven track records and history's of successes. But they have accomlished more for the American  people than any other administration in American history. The fake news and the Democrats will not give him credit on what are clearly remarkable undeniably monumental  accoomplishments. His critics say he acts like a king but if he were he would not be leaving office in 3 years, he would not have to answer to Congress nor would he have to...

Trump Rewards Russia Says Democrat Ex-Congressman Joe Walsh By Lifting Sanctions on Russian Oil!

Former Republican Congressman Joe Walsh laid out accusations against President Trump. 1) That he launched a war against Iran, 2) allowed Russia to side with Iran and help target American service members, 3) rewarded Moscow by lifting oil sanctions. Walsh, ex Republican now a vocal pro-Democrat advocate, called Trump a traitor to America, framing the sequence of events as evidence of Trumps allegiance to Putin over the United States. This is definitely a serious case of Trump Derangement Syndrome which is incurable unless new science and technology is discovered. Walsh is surely politicking. It's very clear that Walsh is a RINO. Republican in name only and hates President Trump like so many others. Walsh never read Trump's book "The Art of the Deal". If he did he might understand Trumps ...

Some of The Things The “Woke” Democrat Party Stands For!

Affirmative Action imposed on White people and Asians. Declared unconstitutional in 2023, 59 years of discrimination against Whites and Asians signed into law by a Democrat President Lyndon Johnson in the 1964 Civil Rights Law to give minorities an opportunity in employment, education and housing. Allowing strangers into our country without a background check aka "vetting" under the Biden Harris administrations Border Czar Vice President Kamala Harris. New estimates heard today 3/26/26 are as high as 35 million illegal's crossed the borders displacing Americans in every aspect of our society. Allowing strangers into our country without a health exam most are unvaccinated people that spread diseases like measles that we haven't seen in decades Allowing left wing  liberal judges to ...

Trumps Critics Say Jared Kushner His Son-in-Law is a Product of Nepotism, Was Never Elected, Has No Foreign Policy Experience and is Only Where he is Because of his Father-in-Law. Let the Truth Be Told!

Like Trumps critics say it's true Jared Kushner was never elected to office and has no foreign policy experience. Just like so many others before him who wound up in jobs in government or private industry who also never had experience. Some were selected, some appointed, others were elected and some just happened to be in the right place at the right time with the right family names or the right connections. That's how the world works. Who has had experience when they got started? No one. Like the American Revolutionary Militiamen, young patriot warriors made up of colonial citizen farmers and businessmen under the leadership of an  inexperienced George Washington who never had any experience as an army General and for that matter never had experience as a  President of any country espe...

Trump’s Critics Say He Keeps Changing His Stories On The War in Iran ! “The Art of The Deal”!

President Trump's haters and Democrat political foes say Trump doesn’t know what he is doing. One day he says the war is nearly over and the next day he says it is won. Then he asks our allies in NATO to help and when they refuse President Trump says we really don’t need them. Guess what? He was testing their loyalty and as he discovered there is none and NATO is basically using us. Trump wrote a book called "The Art of the Deal". Let's just hope the enemy doesn’t read it. If you Trump haters are confused and say Trump is lost and all over the place changing his narrative from day to day and does not know what he is doing, can you imagine how the enemy feels? It's called the "Art of the Deal" a book President Trump wrote years ago on how he wins in negotiations and keeps his competit...

Democrat Congresswoman Grace Meng Hypocrite, Puppet or Patriot?

All of a sudden  Democrat Congresswoman Grace Meng from Queens NY is complaining about I.C.E the Immigration Customs Enforcement agents doing their job to protect Americans. She is expected to along with her peers ordered by her Democrat leaders  under some duress follow the Democrat party line as well as the mandated talking points she is expected to follow,  advocate and champion by her party's leadership. The Democrats under President Biden created the problem by allowing up to 25,000,000 million illegal's to cross our sovereign borders into our country unvetted.  They create the problem and then blame it on the Republicans. She supported her party's criminal activities like a puppet and now she is complaining as she was ordered to do by the puppeteers? They in essense are inadver...
