JOE CONCHA -- "IT'S JUST SO SOVIET....."






EXCERPT: “They’re either stuck with Platner,  or replacing him with a candidate that party leaders decide, and not the public through actual voting. I mean, it’s just so Soviet, isn’t it?” Concha said.

Concha said Democrats did the same thing with former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) when multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct. He then withdrew from the California governor’s race and resigned from Congress.

“We’ve seen this movie before,” Concha said. “Most famously, we saw it in 2024. Joe Biden’s brain turned to anchovies on that debate stage against President Trump in June. A few weeks later, he was replaced, without one vote from the public, by Kamala Harris. This is a losing strategy.” MORE AT Democrats have lost any 'perception of high moral ground' after supporting Platner: Joe Concha

NYS LAWMAKERS, ADVOCATES DEBATE PAROLE BILLS THAT WOULD GIVE CONVICTED KILLERS ANOTHER SHOT AT FREEDOM---IS ANYONE SURPRISED AT THE SPONSORS......












New York lawmakers are weighing two controversial parole bills that supporters say would bring fairness to the state’s parole system, while critics maintain the proposals would make it easier for violent offenders – including serial killers – to seek release.

The Elder Parole bill would make incarcerated people eligible for a parole hearing once they reach 55 years old and have served at least 15 years of their sentence. State Sen. Cordell Cleare (D-Manhattan) and Assembly Member Maritza Davila (D-Brooklyn) are the bill’s sponsors.
