Cuomo Killed Thousands of Seniors and Lost a House Seat
If Cuomo had been less of a sociopath, New York would have kept its seat.
5 commentsDaniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
Governor Andrew Cuomo is many things: a mass murderer, a sexual predator, and a sore loser.
Cuomo spent $70 million census outreach, but his horrifying policy of forcing nursing homes to accept patients infected with the coronavirus had killed untold thousands of New York seniors.
Now the census is done and New York is going to lose a House seat by 89 people.
“We’re looking at legal options, because when you’re talking about 89, that could be a minor mistake in counting,” Cuomo whined.
The ‘9’ is fitting because that’s the number of women who accused him of sexual harassment.
Maybe it’s a minor mistake like the time Cuomo’s aides rewrote a report to hide the real death toll in nursing homes as he was prepping his book on his brilliant leadership during the pandemic. A report by New York’s Attorney General Letita James estimated that the undercounting might have been as high as 50%. But minor mistakes do happen.
“We were in a position where we weren’t sure if what we were going to give to the Department of Justice, or what we give to you guys, what we start saying, was going to be used against us while we weren’t sure if there was going to be an investigation,” a Cuomo aide had argued.
Even 0.5% of the 15,000 nursing home patients dead on Cuomo’s watch might have saved the House seat. If Cuomo had been 0.5% less of a psychopath, New York might have kept its seat.
Sure, go look at your legal options. There was already a precedent on the subject for another whiny tyrant in the Book of Kings, "Would you murder and also inherit?" (1 Kings 21:19.)
New York not only lost a House seat, despite Cuomo’s attempt to bluster about his legal options, but it deserved to lose it. The state was already losing its population due to people fleeing Democrat mismanagement. Last year, New York was number one state in declining population losing over 126,000 people. In the last decade, the state’s population grew by 0.4 %.
But there’s a difference between taxing people into leaving and mass murdering them.
It’s the difference between socialism and national socialism.
Cuomo didn’t give a damn about the elderly with the exception of his mother. The equity grants for census outreach were littered with organizations like the Arab American Community Center for Economic and Social Services, Refugees Helping Refugees, Bangladeshi American Community Development, and the Yemeni American Merchants Association.
Elder Life got a $7,500 grant, while the Yemeni Merchants scored $30,000.
Cuomo’s sociopathy is a reflection of his party and political ideology which cares a great deal about identity politics, but can’t wait for the elderly to die off.
During the worst of the pandemic, Cuomo threw another $10 million at the census. If only he'd spent that money keeping nursing home patients alive. While the dead can be counted in Democrat elections, counting them for the census has proven to be trickier.
Handing out cash to community groups didn’t compensate for the people who were dying.
Cuomo, like every good Democrat, blamed New York’s poor numbers on President Trump, “You had undocumented people who were nervous to come forward,” he suggested, complaining that illegal aliens were being undercounted. “The federal government had a chilling effect.”
Democrats forced the citizenship question off the census. The only ‘chilling effect’ was in the morgues where the victims of Cuomocide were unable to fill out census forms.
President Trump is out of office, but Cuomo's statement still raved about the "Trump Administration's xenophobic, flagrant, and illegal efforts to hurt blue states by discouraging non-citizens and people of color from being counted" and vowed that, "we won't allow Trump and his cronies to use one of our greatest attributes -- our diversity -- as an impediment."
Despite Cuomo’s vocal enthusiasm for diversity, he only seems to have sexually harassed white women raising serious doubts about his belief in diversity. Until he sexually harasses as many illegal aliens as he does Americans, we can’t trust his commitment to diversity.
Cuomo then asked Attorney General Letitia James, who is already investigating his sexual harassment and nursing home deaths to do something about the census.
Maybe she would have more time to investigate the census, if she weren’t investigating Cuomo.
Challenging the results of tallies is an attack on democracy and the rule of law, except when Democrats do it because the numbers didn’t go their way, and Texas wins and New York loses.
Mayor Bill de Blasio, in his usual fashion, is blaming the whole mess on Cuomo, and raising questions about where that $70 million even went. That’s a good question. So is the question of where the $850 million for ThriveNYC mental health that De Blasio’s wife was managing went.
Meanwhile New York is enjoying a stunning 64% self-response rate.
Curiously though, responses appeared to drop sharply in more conservative upstate counties since 2010. Maybe a whole bunch of Republicans decided that there was no point in participating in an exercise which just empowers a one-party state operating out of Albany.
In Lewis County, which President Trump won, self-response rates dropped from 66% to 44%, in Jefferson County, they fell by 10%.
The issue wasn’t Cuomo’s beloved illegal aliens. 7 years ago, Cuomo had declared that there was no room for conservatives in New York. Did they take the political thug at his word?
Cuomo and his Democrats will do everything in their power to see that it’s a Republican House member who loses his seat, but that will just lead to lower response rates. A census is also an election and poor response rates are a vote of no-confidence in the system and political elites.
And just as with the pandemic, Cuomo is trying to blame the failure on everyone else.
After allocating $70 million, Cuomo still felt short by 89 people. That wouldn’t have happened if he hadn’t presided over massive political alienation and a record death toll in New York.
Throwing tens of thousands of dollars at Yemeni merchants isn’t fixing that.
New York, a state with, according to the census, a population of some 20 million, was responsible for as much as a tenth of the nation’s pandemic death toll. Stalin said, “A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic.”
But the statistics are adding up and they’re not going Cuomo’s way.
Cuomo had responded to nursing home deaths by arguing, “Who cares [if they] died in the hospital, died in a nursing home? They died.”
Finally, after thousands died and 89 were missed in the census, he has a reason to care.
Biden from the Beginning
Right from the start, the Delaware Democrat was all about power and money.
8 commentsWhite House resident Joe Biden was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972, at the age of 29. Two years later, in 1974, the Delaware Democrat was the subject of a 4,000-plus-word Washingtonian profile, but not for anything he had accomplished in office.
“I have no illusions about why I am such a hot commodity,” Biden told Kitty Kelley. “I am the youngest man in the Senate and I am also the victim of a tragic fate which makes me very newsworthy.” Biden’s wife Neilia and the couple’s infant daughter were killed in a car accident shortly after Biden’s election in 1972. Biden wanted to resign, but Senate majority leader Mike Mansfield promised him prestigious committee assignments. The grieving newcomer had higher goals in mind.
“I know I can be a good Senator, and I know I can be a good President,” Biden told Kelley. “I know I could have easily made the White House with Neilia. And my family still expects me to be there one of these days. With them behind me anything can happen.” As Biden’s sister Valerie explained, “Joey is going to be president someday. He was made to be in the White House. Just you wait and see.”
Biden proclaimed “there is no other walk of life which can do more good for mankind than politics,” but money was also part of it. “I am worth a lot more than my salary of $42,500 a year in this body,” Biden explained in the Senate. “It seems to me that we should flat out tell the American people we are worth our salt.” That brought a response from William Loeb, editor of the “right wing” Manchester Union Leader.
“Can you imagine the conceit and stupidity of a young man of 30 who would say that? The voters of Delaware who elected this stupid, conceited jackass to the Senate should kick him in the rear to knock some sense into him, and then kick themselves for voting for such an idiot.”
As Kelley noted, Biden framed Loeb’s editorial and hung it in his office. “When you get a blast like that you really know you’re worth something.” Kelley had reason for doubt.
In the course of the interview, Biden leaned over his desk, shook his finger and said, “And whether you like it or not, young lady, us cruddy politicians can take away that First Amendment of yours if we want to.” Kelley took the threat as confirmation that Joe Biden “defines politics as power.”
In 2010, Mark Bowen cited Kelley’s “notoriously revealing” profile in his 9,000-plus word Atlantic piece on the Delaware Democrat. As Bowden recalled, when Biden ran for president in 1988 he was “discovered passing off as his own passages from a speech by a British Labour politician.” In 2008, Biden finished the Iowa caucuses with less than one percent of the vote, and Bowden wondered if the Delaware Democrat might be seeking something else.
“I would not be anybody’s secretary of state in any circumstance I could think of,” Biden said at the time, “and I absolutely can say with certainty I would not be anybody’s vice president. Period. End of story. Guaranteed. Will not do it.” Biden did do it, and Bowden recalled his statement to Kelley that he would be a good president. Bowden wasn’t sure.
“Though plenty smart, Biden is not an intellectual,” Bowden explained. Biden was an “indifferent student” in college and law school, and “he makes few references to books and learned influences in his speeches and autobiography.” Bowden named no books that someone aspiring to be president of the United States might want to read, perhaps landmark works by Solzhenitsyn, Orwell, F.A. Hayek and many others. As Mark Twain said, the man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.
In a 1987 campaign speech, Joe Biden “borrowed liberally, and without attribution, from the British Labour politician Neil Kinnock.” At the time Kinnock and his party were heavily embedded with the Soviets, so Kinnock was perhaps the worst choice Biden could have made. On the other hand, Biden credits his humiliating plagiarism with “saving his life.” If he had stayed in the campaign, “he likely would have ignored the warning signs that sent him to the doctor.” What, exactly, the doctor needed to treat is not explained, but it is possible to guess.
Mark Bowden is the author of Black Hawk Down, Huế 1968, and The Finish: The Killing of Osama Bin Laden. With Joe Biden the serious writer took a softer approach.
“Joe Biden doesn’t just meet you, he engulfs you. There’s the direct contact with his blue eyes, the firm handshake while his other hand grasps your arm, the flash of those famously perfect white teeth, and an immediate frontal assault on your personal space. He shoulders right through the aura of fame and high office. Forget the Secret Service, the ever-present battery of aides and advisers, the photographers clicking away: the vice president of the United States moves in like an old pal with something urgent to tell you—just you. If he’s in a chair, he’ll scoot it closer; when the furniture’s not portable, he’ll lean forward, planting his elbows on his knees, gesturing with both hands while he speaks, occasionally reaching over to touch your arm or leg for emphasis.”
Joe Biden is also a “virtuoso talker. That fluency is not a gift but an accomplishment.” Biden’s “occasional well-publicized gaffes have served to humanize a leadership team that all too often seems aloof, cerebral, and elitist.” Readers might think Biden’s gaffes are a positive accomplishment, and his politics largely a matter of style.
Contrast this highly promotional account with Kitty Kelley, known for unauthorized biographies of Nancy Reagan, Frank Sinatra and the Bush Family. Biden’s threats to take away First Amendment rights convinced Kelley that the Delaware Democrat “defines politics as power.”
Jump ahead to 2021 and the First Amendment is under attack as Joe Biden seems determined to take away the Second Amendment rights of every American. In the White House, Victor Davis Hanson notes, Biden is “as he always was,” as incompetent as Jimmy Carter, as corrupt as Bill Clinton and “a greater racial divider than Barack Obama.”
This is what happens when a cruddy politician taps the “most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”
Darkness Falls: Bezos-Owned Washington Post To Stop Keeping Track of Biden’s Lies
Andrew Stiles • April 27, 2021 1:24 pmThe Washington Post will no longer maintain a database of President Joe Biden's false and misleading claims, executive fact checker Glenn Kessler announced this week.
The paper, owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, will continue to fact check statements from Biden and others. Kessler, for example, recently challenged Sen. Tim Scott's (R., S.C.) claim that his grandfather—a black farmer who grew up in South Carolina during the Great Depression—did not lead a particularly privileged life.
Kessler has determined that Biden does not lie enough—he's more of a "flub" kind of guy; an old geezer who's trying his best—to extend the database of presidential mistruths beyond his first 100 days in office. The Post‘s readers, meanwhile, are presumably less interested in fact checks that don't involve Donald Trump (or any Republican), so the decision makes sense from a business perspective.
The move is the latest example of a journalistic organization abandoning a crucial "accountability" project in the post-Trump era. It could also be related to the so-called burnout many professional journalists have complained about in recent weeks. The New York Times announced last week, for instance, that Taylor Lorenz and other employees would get special days off for "exhaustion" in 2021.
The Post‘s motto is "Democracy dies in darkness.
DANGER TO AMERICA: HOW MUCH DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE THIS NATION BY THE LAWYER CLASS? HERE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HILLARY, BILLARY, OBOMB, JOE BIDEN AND HIS PARTNER IN CRIME, LAWYER HUNTER BIDEN AND THE BRIBES SUCKING SOCIOPATH LAWYER KAMALA HARRIS, MARRIED TO ANOTHER CROOKED LAWYER
"Along with Obama, Pelosi and Schumer are responsible for incalculable damage done to this country over the eight years of that administration." PATRICIA McCARTHY
The main objective of “political animals” like Obama and the Clintons is to get elected; it’s not to fix a broken America, nor to protect her. There are people who govern and there are people who campaign; Obama and the Clintons are the latter. Just look at the huge Republican electoral gains under Obama and the Clintons. It’s amazing that Democrats who still care about their party still support the very people who have brought it down.

“By the time of Bill Clinton’s election in 1992, the Democratic Party had completely repudiated its association with the reforms of the New Deal and Great Society periods. Clinton gutted welfare programs to provide an ample supply of cheap labor for the rich (WHICH NOW MEANS OPEN BORDERS AND NO E-VERIFY!), including a growing layer of black capitalists, and passed the 1994 Federal Crime Bill, with its notorious “three strikes” provision that has helped create the largest prison population in the world.”
“Of course, one of the main reasons the nation is now “divided, resentful and angry” is because race-baiting, Islamist, class warrior Barack Hussein Obama was president for eight long years." MATTHEW VADUM
They Destroyed Our Country
“They knew Obama was an unqualified crook; yet they promoted him. They knew Obama was a train wreck waiting to happen; yet they made him president, to the great injury of America and the world. They understood he was only a figurehead, an egomaniac, and a liar; yet they made him king, doing great harm to our republic (perhaps irreparable.)”

ANALYSIS: No One Cares
About Obama Anymore
AOC praises Biden's 'impressive' progressive achievements as lib pundits anoint him the next FDR and Obama's legacy withers to dust
Andrew StilesLast week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) said President Joe Biden's first 100 days in office "have been impressive" and "exceeded" the expectations of trendy young progressives such as herself. Historians, journalists, and other liberals have anointed Biden the next FDR or LBJ—a once-in-a-generation "transformative" leader.
Not that long ago, it was Obama who was considered a hot young progressive and was hailed as the next coming of the 20th century's most transformative leaders. The similarly fawning coverage of Biden, the former running mate whose presidential ambitions he repeatedly sought to discourage, must be utterly humiliating for Obama and his excessively large ego.
Biden, meanwhile, just "loves the growing narrative that he's bolder and bigger-thinking than President Obama," according to the short-form gossip blog Axios. And why shouldn't he? As New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd argued, the former vice president was often treated horribly by Obama and his loyal cadre of insufferable bros, who considered dropping Biden in favor of Hillary Clinton ahead of the 2012 election. Politico wrote in 2014 that, among other things, Biden resented being "managed into a box by Obama's cocky campaign team."
In eight years, the Obamas never invited Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill (Ed.D.), to the White House living quarters. The former First Couple, millionaires many times over, didn't contribute a single dollar to Biden's presidential campaign last year. That shouldn't come as a shock, given the lengths to which Obama reportedly went to stop Biden from running for president—first in 2016 and again in 2020.
"It had stung Biden badly in 2015 when Obama made clear his preference for Hillary Clinton," journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes wrote in Lucky: How Joe Biden Barely Won the Presidency. "Adding insult to injury, Obama's advisers told Biden aides back then that they didn't think he could beat Clinton. They pressured him to get out of the way."
Biden was especially insulted because he thought, correctly, that Hillary was a "terrible candidate" who would be easy to beat. Hillary's devastating loss to Donald Trump did little to change Obama's mind about 2020. He continued to worry that Biden would "embarrass" or "dishonor" himself on the campaign trail and urged him not to run, telling his former running mate, "You don't have to do this, Joe."
Behind Biden's back, Obama reportedly told Democrats that the former VP "really doesn't have it" and warned them not to "underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up." Being the political genius that he is, Obama and his closest advisers "seemed to be enamored with" Beto O'Rourke, the failed Senate candidate whose disastrous presidential campaign flamed out months before the Iowa caucuses.
Nevertheless, Biden was one of the only candidates who stood up for Obama during the Democratic primary. Obama's name was rarely mentioned during the Democratic debates, and most of the candidates implicitly attacked his record on a host of issues, including health care, immigration, and trade.
That dynamic has largely persisted since Biden took office, with Democrats such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) retroactively bashing the "small" and "measly" stimulus package Obama championed in 2009 while touting the "big things" Democrats planned to accomplished under Biden.
No one cares about Obama anymore. His legacy is nonexistent. It's as if his presidency never happened, doomed to be overshadowed by the transformative leadership of the former running mate he despised.
Tough break, bro.
Obama lets the cat out of the bag: He's got plans to make Joe Biden his stooge
