Trump clone Stefanik endorses his abuses

Voters who would opt for Rep. Elise Stefanik over Kathy Hochul -- beware!

You will have Trump in the governor’s office. He will be present in her guise, hook, line and sinker. ICE raids in our schools? Yes! Stefanik has never spoken against them. Local colleges paying ransom in millions of dollars if they wish to keep functioning? Our neighbors and friends taken by ICE with no chance to stand before a court of law to plead their case?

National Guard members patrolling our streets? Those in our community turned away from medical services they need because they can’t navigate the bureaucracy needed to prove they qualify for them? Yes to all of these.

Stefanik has spoken out about none of these abuses. That provides tacit approval. She is Trump’s greatest cheerleader.

We have a choice to stand in our state for justice for all or to elect a clone of Trump. Which candidate will get your vote? It is one which will make a world of difference in the way you want to see our country governed.

Israel motivated to keep Gaza war going

Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently said, “You will not have peace in Gaza as long as Hamas exists. I doubt he realized that this could be taken two ways.

He meant that Hamas should be made to disappear as a force of resistance. The way he didn’t entertain is that, because Hamas is there, Israel is going to keep on. Netanyahu says he must continue to fight Hamas. Is Hamas fighting back? With what? They did fight. For one day. In their occupier’s land.

Israel has been fighting for almost two years........
