  • It’s A Trap!

    It’s A Trap!

    While trying to catch up on the news of the day before heading into work today, I ran into an interesting bit of analysis form Michael Thau over at RedState. He posits the sexual harrasment and bullying charges levied against Andrew Cuomo are a distraction.

    After thinking about it for a few minutes, I can’t say that he’s wrong. . .

    One of the questions Thau asks is why now? The first accuser to come forward, Lindsey Boylan, claims the harrasment happened in 2018. Why wait three years? Why come forward at the exact moment Cuomo find himself under serious fire for his handling of the WuFlu in nursing homes?

    Whether it was intentional timing or not, the effect has been pronounced. In the time since the accusations made national news, google searches about the Cuomo nursing home scandal have dropped precipitously.

    As Thau says in his article, that sort of seems odd seeing as we’re still in the middle of the pandemic. The timing also seems suspiciously providential to Cuomo given the fact both the US Attorney General and the FBI are looking into his handling of the chinese coronavirus.

    I find it interesting that there are three other governors with a ‘D’ after their names that had similar nursing home policies that led to thousands of deaths. The governors of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan, all prominent dems, forced nursing homes to take covid positive patients.

    I’ll leave you with an exit question, and this thought crossed my mind previously; are the democrats offering up Andy as a sacrificial lamb to protect the others?

  • Cuomo Feeling The Heat

    Cuomo Feeling The Heat

    Most of you know this editor resides in the People’s Republic of New York. And most of you know at least something about Il Duce, Andy Cuomo and his (mis)handling of the WuFlu in the Empire state. What you may not know about is the fact that the ‘Love Gov’ is embroiled in a series of scandals at the moment.

    You could be excused for not knowing based on the MSM coverage, or lack thereof, of everything plaguing Andy at the moment.

    First up, and I covered some of it here, is the fact that the US attorney’s office and the FBI have opened a criminal investigation into his handling of nursing homes during the pandemic. The investigation was prompted by the admission of one of Cuomo’s aides that he reported incorrect numbers of deaths to avoid a federal investigation. As of this writing there is little new to report on that front.

    Former Cuomo aide Lindsey Boylan

    What is new is a raft of bullying and sexual harrasment charges leveled against him in recent days. Former aide Lindsey Boylan penned an op-ed for Medium detailing her treatment at the hands of Cuomo. According to Boylan, who worked as Chief of Staff of the Empire State Development agency, said Cuomo kissed her on the mouth in his office without permission, made sexual innuendos and once asked her to play “strip poker.”

    New York State Senator Alessandra Biaggi is one of the NY lawmakers speaking out about the sex scandal the ‘Love Gov’ finds himself in. Biaggi said she supports Boylan and said that she too witnessed “inappropriate” behavior when she worked for the administration.

    This ongoing saga, Boylan first made her accusations in the beginning of December, has gotten scant coverage in the media. Until yesterday, there had been ZERO coverage of the story on any network not named Fox. CNN, the broadcast home of Andy’s brother Fredo hasn’t yet mentioned the scandal, while the other networks have at least mentioned it in passing.

    So what are Andy and his inner circle saying about this? Predictably, they’re in full CYA mode. Cuomo’s top aide, Rich Azzopardi has been on the attack, trying to tamp down the raging fires surrounding Cuomo. Unfortunately (at least for him) he’s pissing on an oilfield fire.

    Is it time for Cuomo to go? Some new polling out seems to show that a majority of New Yorkers want a new governor. A new Marist poll shows a “majority of poll respondents also said it was time for the state to have a new governor, as Cuomo gears up for the prospect of seeking a fourth term in 2022. Some 38 percent of adults in the survey said he deserved to be re-elected, while 57 percent said it was time to elect someone else.”

    Unfortunately for everyone not living in the Five Boroughs and Westchester county, whoever eventually replaces him is going to be at least a left-leaning if not worse.
