The Chiefs on the NY State Dept. Of Ed Just Banished Indian Mascots “To the Reservation”
New York is full of liberals who always want to run things into the ground, and tradition is high on the list of targets. Liberal “Native Americans” are just as bad; get a few together, and they’ll pressure anyone they can (in the name of anti-discrimination) into erasing any sign of tribal influence on American culture.
If You Flee New York’s High Taxes You Will Get Audited and Lose
Remember when Gov. Cuomo said that New York couldn’t pile any more taxes on the rich because they might leave. They are going anyway. It’s causing budgetary separation anxiety. To ease the pain, any high earner that decides to pack up and move out will get a state tax audit. Guaranteed.
Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s Horrible Awful Week (Infanticide, Blackface, Klan Edition)
We ended last week with news of Andrew Cuomo’s One World Trade Center Woody in celebration of New York’s embrace of infanticide. A few days later I added some thoughts about clinics closing if they couldn’t perform abortions. In the midst of that news broke about a bill in Virginia that would allow abortion when a woman is dilating. That’s, giving birth. When asked for his thoughts the Governor of Virginia probably ended his political career.

Let’s call this Trump Derangement Syndrome taken to its logical conclusion. If the President won’t’ saddle the nation with the elites suffocating political-class agenda, we’ll do it ourselves.
The ACLU Defends the NRA from Gov. Andrew Cuomo

Bereft of insurance or financial tools, it would become difficult if not impossible for the organization to operate.
The NRA has taken the State of New York to Court and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has written a brief in their defense on first amendment grounds.
NY Senate Advances Speech Suppression Bill Disguised As Anti-Bullying Legislation
The New York State Senate, under cover of protecting under-eighteen year-olds from ‘cyberbullying’ have advanced a bill that presents the government with a far-reaching tool to silence a wide range of speech it decides has violated their law.
I’ll let you explore Eugene Volokh’s examination of potential issues for speech suppression here, but I wanted to make the point that this exercise is no different than the progressive motivations on health care. Expand Medicaid. Expand Medicare. When they meet, you’ve got single-payer health care.
NY State District Attorney Will Not Prosecute Cuomo’s Gun Laws
by Rick Olson
“Where it is a duty to worship the sun it is pretty sure to be a crime to examine the laws of heat.” — John Morley
Two New York State troopers stopped Gregory Dean, a 31-year-old Dutchess County resident on Route 22 in New Lebanon for a broken license plate light.
Three summonses were issued to Dean: Driving with a suspended license; an inadequate license plate; and unlawful possession of ammunition device, a Class B misdemeanor.”
Columbia County District Attorney Paul Czajka said he examined the seriousness and nature of the crime along with Dean’s criminal history (or lack thereof) and subsequently determined it to be the best exercise in prosecutorial discretion in declining
