New York Daily News' Sin of Omission: White candidates prefered to black and brown

By sin of omision I am refering to Shant Shahrigian's article about the NYC comptroler race. He is white, and his piece puts the white candidates first and foremost in the article, completely omitting the facts about John Tabacco who is NOT a trader as he is barred from trading. Shahrigian might look at broker.com Sharigian might be hard to reach, the press these days is using Covid as an excuse to do hit pieces and then run. I feel like I just watched an accident and am chasing down a car, driven through the ghetto by a rich white man. There was no mention in the article of Daby Carreras, who is both Black and Hispanic. So that might be two strikes against him in the eyes of the New York Daily News, which was once owned by white woman Ghislaine Maxwell. Who is now a burden on the taxpayer as she sits in prison, accused of crimes against minors, some of whom say she was like a nazi contentration camp guard. So no surprise if racism is not rampant where she used to run her mouth and her opinions. A friend of mine, Ken Gibson, reached out to Mr Shahrigian today, calling him twice with facts. Let's see if Sharigian is man enough to respond. I'd like to know who owns this rag or why it's even still around. Might someone there have reasons to exclude Daby Carreras, who has always worked hard to expose corruption? And who lives in Harlem, runs a charity or two and a community garden? There's lots to write about here folks. But somehow I doubt that Shahrigian, or ANY of the reporters at this predominantly white rag, ever come to Harlem. But they don't have to come to the hood to meet the best candidate for NYC comptroller. Let them feel at ease on Wall Street, where they might be surprised to see someone black and brown handling billions of $ with hundreds of top clients. Daby has to work harder, being black and brown, than many of his white counterparts. I wonder if the reporters at this paper even left the office or did a background search on their subjects. Scott Stringer, for instance, who does not account for about $1billion that seems to be missing from the city, possibly embezzled by the mayor's wife? Stringer refused to answer a direct question about this on Sunday, 14 March when questioned in the street - Stringer was standing outside a park by the way that has was illegally taken from the public by white people. The brown and black seldom ever get to stroll inside Lt. Tighe Park on Riverside Drive/Seaman Avenue and Dyckman Street. That too could be a story for a diligent paper. Mr Sharigian, are you listening? Or are you just content to do a story about a rich white man and leave out a more competent - and honest - black and brown individual? Sometimes the press is not lying directly; it lies by what it omits. And by its ommissions it shows its real nature.

GOP candidate turned to toast in Brooklyn

Last night Daby Carreras went out to the Brooklyn GOP meeting. As this race heats up, the contenders are getting nervous. And that includes John Tobacco, about whom I wrote positively, suggesting he run for Public Advocate. My bad, I was not in possession of all the facts. Since my post, much light has been shed on Tobacco. He got lit up as the truth emerged, with revelations about the 11 instances of his using clients' money wrongfully and how he is banned in the industry. Thus he is in no position to handle the public purse. Further, Tobacco changes parties like socks. In '97 he was GOP, then Independence then blank, then SAM, then back to GOP just recently. He was against Trump but wants the Trumpster vote. Tobacco got exposed as Carreras shared the truth with the B'klyn GOP; some of whom were not appreciative. For those of you who don't already know, Carreras is not only Hispanic but Black; and Polish, as is Guardian Angels head Curtis Sliwa, who was in attendance. Sliwa has been trying to run for Mayor, and as I noted already, I like the dude - but I don't see him in Gracie Mansion. I support Fernando Mateo for Mayor - who is also Black and Hispanic. Sliwa would be a great Public Advocate, and this was mentioned on the radio just last week. So things are boiling over at GOP HQ. I can't predict the outcome, but I can say that Tobacco got burned.

New York City candidates promise to heal city

2021 is election year in the Big Apple. Right now the brown and black community is looking at two great candidates - Fernando Mateo [for Mayor] and Daby Carreras [for Comptroller]. They both happen to be mixed race, black and Hispanic. The office of Public Advocate is between these two in power, and a candidate who is neither, a man named John Tobacco, would be excellent for that. Should he run for that, he would have the support of the other candidates and many city council candidates. So this year looks good in NYC, with the possibility of a unity among black, white and brown - and there happens to be Asian support here too. I am backing Danniel Maio for Queens borough president. There is so much money missing from the city coffers under the one party rule of Tammany Hall that a change is of the utmost neccesity. Carreras is a top Wall Street man, who, like Mateo, worked his way up. Mateo was on the Ebro show this week and made left wing shock jock Rosenberg look a bit shocked. When asked what he did, Mateo told the media talking heads about how many people he helped build their own businesses and get out of poverty. That is not what Marxist media and AOC are about. Ask AOC how many people she helped out of poverty and she might say one: herself. She tried by getting a high paying job in the House and then voting herself a payraise while getting $300 haircuts. And while we're talking $, where is the $2,000 that Trump wanted us to get? Biden has been in power and the first thing that happens is that the Indian tribes are mad at him because he took away their jobs jobs and now China will be exporting oil. They have America over a barrel as the price of a gallon just rose 45c. So the dems cut down Trump's offer to $600 and we thought Biden would at least give us the $1,400 difference as a political stunt. Instead we got pink hearts on the White House lawn. And he did not send FEMA to Texas when it froze. I guess he is trying to repeat the mistakes of George Bush and Michael Brown. Democrats, shut up and listen. We don't want any more free impeac mints and candy boxes full of nothing on the White House lawn. We don't want arrogant stupid radio hosts, reinforcing each others' stupidity. We want $, JOBS, and qualified people. Mateo for Mayor and Carreras for Comptroller and if he should decide to run, Tobacco for Advocate. Check out more at votedaby.com and draintheswamp.nyc

Daby Carreras: Candidate in Spanish Harlem

El Barrio, aka Spanish Harlem, is in the New York State 68th Assembly District. An incumbent who is in there now, a career politician whose dad basically handed him the job like Bush handed off to Bush, is being challenged by a very qualified candidate named Daby Carreras.

This candidate is as real as it gets. He is not just talking about issues, he is an issue. The man has jumped in to help in times of crisis, working with the Salvation Army to increase their cooling stations in the past, and has over time given gallons of blood. Not just blood, but very needed white blood cells that save lives - so much so that he has maxed out his life time allowance - which is 12 quarts.

His site has just gone live and I think it is about to go viral, not  like COVID 19 viral but in a good way viral. He is already like the de facto assemblyman because he is not just asking for votes but he is giving away things on his sight.

He sees the real needs, the everyday reality that a career politician who has not worked a real job does not. So he is already noticing the effects of this virtual lock down and wants to help people - right now, not just months from now if he wins, he is here for us now.

On his site are articles about things to do to find safe space and have fun, even do some learning and teaching of your kids, in this desperate time. He is giving away maps to families in need, giving away stamps so kids can learn, and if people need masks etc that too he is hip to.

I liked the article about rooftops. I have one that I used to be able to visit, but after COVID 19 it got shut down. Which gave everyone less space. Most landlords lock down the roof tops on the people who are already in a lock down in their apartments and this city is getting really hard to live in. So the article talking about negotiating roof top access to people in this time - and for the future - shows that Daby is the guy to vote for.

The same article talks about roof top gardening, and that is a real +, something to do other than surf the net in your cell, I mean apartment, but when we can't go out or go up it might as well be a cell, freedom is relative I guess, sorry if I diverge but I was really missing my roof top privileges when I read that article. And if I could grow something up there, NYC gets lots of sun so tomatoes would be great, it would make my life a little easier.

Some people think that a politician ought to talk about taxes more and one person asked why the site did not mention taxes. If they really want taxes and a site that talks about taxes, check out the incumbent I don't even want to mention his name here because on the subject of taxes I am paying his salary and he is not giving blood, giving away maps, thinking about all the kids and their parents and how there needs to be a way to walk around, have fun and learn some things.

It's hard to be happy about anything these days but I am happy to hear that Daby Carreras is running and so here is his unusual and very useful website - www.votedaby.com

He has a link on it to another useful website - but I'll put it here as well - www.centralparkmap.info

I hope these help and if you live in Spanish Harlem/El Barrio I hope you help this guy out and vote for him.

Iwo Jima and New York: How to win

My friend Ken, who is on board with the Miguel Hernandez campaign, is up to his eyeballs in work. Yesterday the New York Post article, (see previous post for link), today Telemundo, and tomorrow Michael Savage is hosting Miguel on the radio.

But he has some time to write for Brothers. Welcome Ken, what's on your mind?

Thanks David, I am happy with the press for Miguel. They really did a great job at the Post,
they plugged him a month ago in Cindy Adams' column, and yesterday Amanda Devine did a full page on him and AOC. Donations are coming in, and we are being called from coast to coast.

But there is a lot of work to be done, and the hardest fight might not be with the Democrats, who are as happy to get rid of AOC as are most GOPers, but  with some of the GOP in NY. Yesterday it was mentioned here that other COP candidates, who do not represent the demographics of the district and are not on the major issues, are being put forward. This is how the GOP has consistently lost, but margins of 95-5 or MORE! Now, how many basketball teams stay in the league with a score like that?

So the GOP needs to change if it wants to win. And it does not seem to want to do that. Which is frustrating. I don't mind admitting that for my efforts they call me Crazy Ken. I like that.
So call me crazy if I remind people that a Latin district will elect a Latin candidate - as the Democrats found out when their white incumbent fell like a bowling pin to AOC two years ago.

Winning is hard work, and the GOP, while it likes to fight, does not have the strategy or determination to win. There is a lot of infighting. It's a real mess right now, with people like Joey Saladino wearing nazi uniforms on YouTube and Cindy Grosz suing other GOPers.

It makes me think of a certain USMC battle 75 years ago - to the very day. The battle of Motoyama Airfield, Iwo Jima. The Marines had landed there 6 days before, having to start the attack at the bottom of a hill from which the Japanese were shooting them down like flies. At that time, there were two generals running the show - General Schmidt and General Smith. The latter was in charge of the landing, the former in charge of the battle on the island. Smith was saying that they needed more air support, Schmidt said he was going to go forward without it.

So on 25 February, 1945, the Marines had no choice but to go forward under Schmidt. His right hand man, General Erskine, saw the desperate situation and went to the head of the 9th Marines, Colonel Kenyon, and said he had to take the hill. The colonel responded that he needed air intel, and a rest for his men.  Which was not the immediate gung-ho response that some people might think appropriate, but in fact it was the response that showed the common sense necessary for any fighting force, be it the Corps of the GOP NY.

The officer won that battle, and the island was secured a few weeks later. Iwo Jima will live in US history forever. And the memory of that battle, and that officer - later promoted to general and awarded the Navy Cross - will always live in mine. He was my grandfather.

And in his memory I intend to win this battle for the 14th Congressional District in New York, pushing the GOP to exercise common sense and have the other candidates step aside for the one and only Latin, Spanish speaking candidate - in a district that is over 50% Hispanic.

Crazy? No. What is crazy is this fact that some in the GOP will not listen. They do not care for the district, they do not care for the country, they do not care for the party.

The party that my grandfather, after the war, worked so hard for as the head of the Kay County Oklahoma Republican Party. At that time, that state was solidly blue. He knew how to defeat both the Axis soldiers and the Democrats.The GOP NYC needs to take note.

Put your egos aside and stand behind Miguel Hernandez. Let's win for a change.

Miguel Hernandez: Real Man, Real Issues in the 14th Congressional District NY

In Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's district, the 14th in NY, there is heated race on both sides as candidates line up to defeat her. The Democrats are sick of her, and her far left leaning ways - some say there are
Missing Persons signs in the Bronx with her face on them. She is seen in Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire - but is AWOL in her own backyard. Not good.
So the Dems may well be rid of her by summer.
And then they will have to face one of the many GOP candidates. The GOP, if it is smart and wants to win, had the winner already in hand: Miguel Hernandez. But Hernandez is not the rich white guy candidate that they back too often. So far the Bronx side backs John Cummings, a policeman, and the Queens side backs a black woman. I am not making any personal attacks on either side, but common sense would note that neither of these is Hispanic or speaks Spanish. FYI, the district is over 50% Hispanic, and the incumbent is Puerto Rican.
As is Hernandez. But that is about all that he shares with AOC. Unlike her, he came from a poor family, supported his mom and his brothers and sisters, and made it in life by hard work. Yes, he went to college. He managed to get top certification in his field, and also flies a plane. A competent man who knows the value of hard work and the issues.
One issue he is taking on is the lack of medical preparedness in this country. A week or so ago, at an at opening midtown, he was talking about getting penicillin factories up and running in the US. And he knows a thing or two about the pharma industry, as he built a pharmaceutical plant in New Jersey.
His push for penicillin is something that AOC and her socialist workers party have not even mentioned. Too much hard work for the socialist workers.
BTW, how many penicillin factories are there in the US?
NONE.
So where would one get this medicine?
One might get it from India of China. The latter cannot get enough raw materials, as China is out of order at the moment, and, well try getting anything out of China just now.
So where does that leave us in the US?
Stuck.
Am I making a point? I think so.
Like most people, I don't want some bug to come wipe me out. I am not interested in AOC and Sanders, or in Cummings, the white GOP candidate, or even the black GOP candidate.
Common sense is key here.
And that is why Hernandez, not his GOP opponents, is in the major press. Click here to read the New York Post article: https://nypost.com/2020/02/23/rise-of-sanders-and-aoc-has-some-ny-democrats-feeling-left-out-devine/?utm_source=url_sitebuttons&utm_medium=site%20buttons&utm_campaign=site%20buttons

Then check out his website:https://www.miguelhernandezforcongress.org/
 And if you live in the district and are a registered Republican, or can register as one, then you might want to sign his petition to be on the ballot by the end of March. Else we could get the national socialist in power and no meds in our pharmacies.

Black Votes Matter, Black Lives Don't

This past week Pocahantes, aka Elizabeth Warren, ran into trouble when a group of black women quit her campaign saying they were discriminated against and treated poorly.

Soon afterwards, she admitted that blacks only matter to her party at election time.


Below is an article by Ryan Saavedra posted on the Daily Wire site on 7 Feb., 2020.
https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-warren-suggests-blacks-only-matter-to-democrats-during-elections

Democrat presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren appeared to suggest during ABC News’ Democrat primary debate on Friday night that black voters only really matter to Democrats when it comes time to get their votes.
“You know, I’m glad to stand on this stage with my fellow Democrats who talk about how important the black community is, at least at election time,” Warren said. “Year after year after year, election after election after election, Democrats go to people in the black community and say, ‘boy we really care about these issues, racism is terrible, we all want to do something.'”
“And then somehow, the problem just seems to keep getting worse,” Warren continued. “Well, I think it’s time we have real concrete plans that are going to make a difference in people’s lives.”
“I proposed a two cent wealth tax and let me tell you just one of the things we can do with a two cent wealth tax: we can cancel student loan debt for 43 million Americans and because African Americans have to borrow more money to go to college, borrow more money while they’re in college, and have a harder time paying it back when they get out, that one law is going to help close the black-white wealth gap for people with student loans by about 20 points,” Warren continued. “We aren’t making a difference in America, we’re saying to the rich folks, ‘you keep your money and the rest of us will talk about racism, but not really do anything.'”
