Governor Andrew Cuomo is complaining that President Donald Trump should sign an executive order mandating everyone in America wear a mask. So Cuomo, the real question is why are you not enforcing your mandate to wear a mask especially all those protesters?

The front page of the June 29, 2020 edition of the New York Post states “CITY OUT OF CONTROL”, “Bottles hurled at police in Harlem”, “11 shot in less than 12 hours” and “Top cop: Officers confused right now”. What do you expect from a government that is sympathetic to anarchists and scream psychotic rants like “YOU DON’T NEED TEN BULLETS TO KILL A DEER!”. Who is really in charge of the asylum? So if the “CITY OUT OF CONTROL”, where is the National Guard to restore order? What is Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill DiBlasio doing? It is not Cuomo’s and DiBlasio’s responsibility to maintain order or did they leave some anarchist is charge? “Bottles hurled at police in Harlem” by those social justice and peace loving people? And they wonder why some in law enforcement are suspicious of these “people”. “11 shot in less than 12 hours” is more proof the SAFE Act, NYC gun registrations and all the other gun control nonsense does not work. Cuomo and DiBlasio need to go back to the “how do we control violent crime” drawing board. Still sooner or later Cuomo and his gun control advocates will be seeking more gun control laws that will NOT fix the problem. “Top cop: Officers confused right now”. Maybe they are confused because the anarchists want to defund the police, assault them and even kill them. If I were a police officer I would not be confused, I would be acting like I was in the combat zone, watching out for my buddies and me! The long, hot summer continues.

The front page of the June 22, 2020 edition of the New York Post states “NYC gun pandemic: 1 shot per hour”. One shot per hour? NYC requires all firearms be registered and forget getting a pistol permit. Maybe they should be “registering” violent sociopaths, NOT firearms. Where is Governor Andrew Cuomo lamenting “I do not want people to die.”? Cuomo must be beside himself wondering why all his gun control is not saving these poor victims. Maybe those murderers never heard Cuomo’s words of wisdom that “YOU DON’T NEED TEN BULLETS TO KILL A DEER!” The heat is on and is looks to be a long, hot summer.

Is it going to be a long, hot summer? I do not mean this in the “global warming” sense, but in the increase in crime reality. Crime usually increases during the summer (https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=5028), but will it be more historically higher? I say this from viewing news reports of increased “gun violence” and neighborly watch reports of allege youth mischief, not the recent violent protests and riots. I am concerned with so much disintegrating support and trust in law enforcement by some in society, those individuals may continue to push the police into needless confrontation. A couple of recent examples are: 1. A large force of police officers in riot gear are confronted by a man who appears to be blocking the police from moving forward. To further complicate the situation, the man places himself in front of an officer close enough to effectively stab or shoot him. So when the man is push away he falls…….and it is the police officers fault? 2. An allege drunk driver acts cooperatively. He suddenly tries to escape and in the process takes the Taser away from an officer. He then turns and points the weapon at the officer. So in the process of protecting himself, the police officer shoots the man……….and it’s the police officers fault? So will it be a long, hot summer?

So in approximately two weeks, give or take a day or two, will there be a spike in COVID-19 cases because of the mass gatherings? If there is no spike, will America re-open and send everyone, not just some workers back to work and students back to school?

America is headed to socialism. The government has increasingly been funding more public assistance to those with questionable needs. How unfair this has been to the tax payer. I hear news reports of how cities want to take funding away from law enforcement budgets and use the money for community based programs. Why are not the members of the community volunteering to improve their neighborhoods? Where are the fathers of the children to protect and teach their children? We regularly hear “WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER”. Yes, but only because “we” “all” can get the virus. Sad how we have not heard that during war. When a military member is killed in action, we hear “they died for THEIR country”. NO, they died for OUR country. So that “WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER” does not apply to support for OUR military. I had the privilege to serve in three foreign wars. Many Americans do not know what real hunger, poverty and brutality like I saw. I learned a lot to say it mildly, but the most important fact I learned was that America is the greatest country.

President Trump must find it hard to be president, but not because he is Donald Trump. Before then candidate Donald Trump was elected president, there were Democrats calling for his impeachment. He was not even president! As now President of the United States of America, President Trump inherited a previous eight years of President Obamas disasters. The most notable was the appointment of incompetent Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. Between the failures of Clinton and Obama the US Embassy was attacked in Benghazi, Libya that resulted in the murders of four American, one who was US Ambassador Andrew Stevens. Clinton drooled over her idiotic response and Obama apologized for the terrorists saying they did it because they were upset over the video of Mohammed. Obama should have sent them a box of facial tissue to wipe their tears and then a retaliatory strike to kill all of the terrorists involved, but Obama did nothing. Prior to Obama, President Trump inherited the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan from President Bush. His actions cost numerous lives, strengthen Iran and wasted money, but all of Bush and Cheney’s friends invested in Halliburton made blood money. If that was not enough, President Trump has had to endure numerous false charges to include an actual impeachment led by Democrats with very questionable backgrounds. So since General Mattis talks like he has all the answers, maybe he should run for president.

If you want to improve the system, you have to be part of it. I wonder how many of the protestors have applied to become police officers so they can improve the system?

Another Minneapolis police officer who used excessive force, but no one was protesting. https://www.foxnews.com/us/somali-immigrant-cop-mohamed-noor-who-shot-justine-damond-was-highly-celebrated-by-minneapolis-mayor-in-2015 The article states "In his short time with the Minneapolis Police, Noor has had three complaints filed against him – two that are still open. The other was closed and Noor wasn’t disciplined."

"Stupidity" has been the Governor Andrew Cuomo way of ruining New York State throughout his terms in office as governor. Notable acts of Cuomo's stupidity are many like more taxes, more government, more welfare programs and more crime. One supreme act of stupidity is the SAFE Act. This useless act of gun control has not served to reduce gun violence. Cuomo and his supporters are either ignorant or completely stupid when it comes to the facts regarding the root causes of gun violence. They probably do not understand what "root causes" mean. With the stroke of a pen from a secret overnight meeting, Cuomo and his fellow politicians made many New Yorkers who were law abiding, peaceful and productive members of society criminals by owning a rifle that looked like something the military uses. Funny how Cuomo and his supporters can crank out useless legislation overnight, but are unable to quickly fix real problems. This pandemic has shown Cuomo to be a three ring circus master. Ring #1 Cuomo complains people will die, but he supports abortion and releasing violent sociopaths back into society. Ring #2 Cuomo complains New York is broke, but has been taxing and recklessly spending money on his idiotic nonsense. Ring #3 Cuomo complains about President Trump not doing enough, but what has Cuomo done to plan for mass disasters in New York State?

He served in the US Army Reserve and had a career with LAPD as a police officer. RIP Army brother.

The news report recently stated that “many people” do not want to return to work. Of course the main reason used is fear of contracting COVID-19. So while these “non-essential” workers stayed safe, the “essential” workers were there for them providing medical services, emergency services, law enforcement services, utility services, food services and other “essential” services. Imagine if those “essential” workers used the reason not to maintain civilization with the excuse they fear contracting COVID-19. So now that it’s time to go back to work, their excuses are an insult to so many who have provided their needs. Throughout the pandemic we have heard constantly “We are all in this together”. Yes, but only because everyone is at risk to contract COVID-19. So while many are in this together, not “all” are “in this together.”

All elected Fedral offices should be limited to two terms just like the presdient is held to by the Twenty-Second Amendment. Too many is Congress would never want to give up their dictatorships!

Focus on the word "penalize" that in Cuomo language is interpreted to mean a money maker for his fat government and wasteful social programs.

Governor Andrew Cuomo has repeated many times that New York State is broke and complains the Federal government should give NYS assistance.. So why should anyone be surprised that Cuomo would not continue his parasitic taxing ways to fund his fat government and wasteful social program spending?

One honest and factual statement Governor Andrew Cuomo said during his COVID-19 speeches is that New York State is BROKE. Useless and wasteful spending like "deer sterilization" programs is the reason why NYS is broke. Still programs like this are embraced by anti-hunters who vote Democrat so Cuomo and his fellow politicians buy votes with such programs even though it wastes taxpayer money and does not improve the lives of New Yorkers. These politicians are too incompetent to use the money to prepare for disasters and mass casualties. With so many hungry people in need of food, why not mass harvest the surplus deer and use the meat to feed the hungry? Who would oppose that act of kindness to feed people?

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/squad-member-ayanna-pressley-says-trump-coronavirus-response-akin-to-war-crimes/ar-BB131aQr?ocid=mailsignout A member of the far-left "Squad" of freshmen congresswomen slammed President Trump’s coronavirus response this week, alleging it was “akin to war crimes.” “War crimes” she says? Funny how Congresswoman Pressley and her fellow Democrats response during the beginning of the pandemic was to continue with their impeachment of President Trump based on fake evidence while ignoring the potential damage this virus could cause and ultimately did cause. Now while the pandemic is still full blown, the best they can do is legislate for useless and repressive gun legislation (HR 5717) that is aimed to disarm POOR people firearm owners. Apparently the Democratic Party is NOT the champions of POOR people firearm owners.

It is in the nature of Democrats in the face of REAL crisis to legislate for more stupid laws, while continuing to fail to improve the lives of their employer, the American citizens.. Democrats thinking is not based on logic and fact, but by emotion and ignorance.

I wear my compliant mask because:I do not want to deal with some over zealous police officer or some psychotic worry wart thinking I might infect them or getting kicked out of a store due to violating their "you must wear a mask" sign at the entrance door. Who needs the Bravo Sierra of arrest, fine or physical altercation?

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Monday that American pressure on Iran in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic was "inhumane" https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/us-pressure-on-iran-during-coronavirus-outbreak-is-inhumane-rouhani/ar-BB12VWXc?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=mailsignout "In these difficult conditions, American pressure on the people of Iran is more inhumane than at any other time and the continuation of it is a barbaric crime against a great people and against all human principles and international regulations," Rouhani said during a phone call with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. So Rouhani, a leader of a regime that calls for the death of America and Israel, supports international Islamic terrorists, treats females like livestock and murders homosexuals by throwing them off roof tops calls American treatment “inhumane” and “barbaric”? I still think we have some unfinished business from 1979 when Iran attacked the American embassy and held American hostage. Maybe Rouhani needs some real “inhumane” and “barbaric” treatment.

While in a food market today, I observed the majority of shoppers wearing a face covering, but a few did not wear any face covering. Governor Andrew Cuomo said we should remind them in a nice New York way to wear a mask. So does this sound like a "nice" New York way....."YOU DON'T NEED TEN BULLETS TO KILL A DEER, BUT YOU NEED TO WEAR A FACE MASK!"

Recently I watched the BBC news on late night TV. Yes, it was a waste of minutes out of my life, but it confirms the mental illness or ignorance or shear hate of some people for President Trump. The report had so many experts criticizing President Trumps handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the trash reporting regarding President Trump, they reported on former President Obama's support for Joe Biden. They stated how Obama is a beloved ex-president and admired world wide! Obama was the worst. One FACT that will be a dark part of American history is how he failed to retaliate against the terrorists in Benghazi that murdered Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans. Of course some would place the blame on the incompetent Secretary of State at the time, Hillary Clinton. Yes Hillary did not do her job because she was incompetent. Still Obama is a failure for not only NOT retaliating, but he apologized for the terrorists claiming they were "upset" over a video of Mohammed. Yes, Trump 2020 because America needs all the help it can get.

Whether President Trump has the authority to open up the country or not, for sure anything that has or will go wrong with the handling of the COVID-19 response, Trump will get the blame from his oppenents!

I always understood "unemployment payments" to be less than regular pay, but enough to pay for the real essentials. With so many people potentially collecting full pay to sit home, I wonder how many will really want to actually get back to work?

Agree. Governor Andrew Cuomo is the "progressive" dream candidate. Cuomo supports illegal aliens, open borders, sanctuary cities, legalizing marijuana, social/welfare programs, gun control, easy on violent criminals, raise taxes to fix a problem, nonsense government regulations and inefficient government. Democrats nationally could careless of his poor job as governor for New York State. Cuomo's grandstanding has exposed him regularly to America free of charge. Cuomo will be relentless in his criticism of President Trump, even though his record has been poor in NYS. Most New Yorkers are ignorant of his poor job as governor, so we cannot expect the rest of America to know the truth.
