l present comprehensive plans for the national and NY economy. From outsourcing to clean energy industries to restoring domestic manufacturing, here is a long-term plan to bring job growth and independence from foreign supply chains.
Read MorePoliticians like my opponent avoided illegal immigration for decades. Congressman Nadler has no plan. I do: 1) Decline asylum requests at the border. 2) Asylum requests will only be made in the country of origin and be vetted there. 3) Employment eligible ONLY after being granted asylum or a work visa. 4) If entering the USA illegally you lose the right to claim asylum. 5) Close the border until Congress enacts a fair and safe legal immigration plan. 6) Hire thousands more border patrol agents and similarly increase immigration court staff to end the multi-year backlog. 7) Enforce labor laws by prosecuting and fining violating employers and companies. 8) The recent Executive Order Immigration and Nationality Act sections 212(f) and 215(a) are inadequate, for it only limits unlawful entry of noncitizens at the Southern border to 2500/day (or over 900,000 annually). The number permitted must be zero until Congress passes a comprehensive immigration plan. 9) The millions here illegally get more costly help than homeless Americans in desperate need. This result is wrong and must end.
Read MorePoliticians and university leaders must confront protesters opposing Israel‘s right to exist or promoting hatred and death of Jews. America did not sacrifice 400,000 soldiers fighting Nazism & fascism during World War II only to see ignorant students promote hatred of Jews while yelling “free free Palestine”. I will confront crazed American flag-burning protesters who support Hamas, which plots to destroy Israel and kill millions of Israelis, murdered 1200 civilians, savagely raped women, dismembered bodies of dead women and children, and took 251 hostages. Why do protesters yearn for Hamas to rule 2.1 million Gazans and 3 million West Bank Palestinians? Why? Your lethargic congressman won’t even confront these disgusting young antisemites. Mike Zumbluskas will!
Read MoreMillions of lost jobs, near $1 trillion trade deficit, vanishing industries. Federal debt at $34 trillion & projected deficit of $1.9 trillion (yes, trillion). Interest payments soon reaching $1 trillion/year. Now we face threat from the BRICS bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) trying to ruin our economy by ending the dollar as currency reserve. Here is a plan addressing our economic vulnerability.
Read MoreAttacks and threats to Jews, Asian Americans and African-Americans shockingly increase. Mentally ill and dangerous people roam the streets. Restoring safe streets and subways will take more than merely tweaking bail. My congressional opponent is oddly silent on crime and race attacks. We need policing that respects civil rights, handles crime, and requires judges to set bail that won’t allow dangerous people to remain at large. We also witness increased mass shootings. I am prepared to take action to protect your safety. Please study my proposals below.
Read MoreHelping each other. That’s what we do in America. We must do more to ensure Social Security will be there for us… now and in 50 years. I propose 1) resolving the coming funding crisis Social Security faces, 2) lowering prescription prices, 3) increasing mental health treatment, and 4) providing assistance for seniors.
Read MoreMost city schools fail in teaching the fundamentals. Only 31% of Hispanic students and 26% of Black children tested proficient in math. English proficiency scores are dismal: Black students 48%, Hispanic 47%. Over $39 billion was spent on NYC education in 2023-24 - $38,000/student. The average nationwide is $15,600. We have shameful results despite paying over double the national average. Schools are meant to teach math, science, English… not sexual preferences, which also is an issue. I will work to restore quality education and end generations of failed (and costly!) education.
Read MoreA commentator once noted: last month we gave Ukraine $1 billion in aid but gave Russia $30 billion for oil and gas. U.S. foreign policy must address this and these matters: 1) cripple Russia economically for its barbaric invasion of Ukraine by helping Europe become permanently independent of Russian oil/gas; 2) end the Ukraine war by putting pressure on Ukraine to recognize that it will never recover lost land, but in return Russia ends all drone and other attacks and recognizes Ukrainian independence; 3) end China’s unfair trade practices and our dependence on basic needs; 4) affirm support for Israel and the fight against terrorism; 5) stop Iran/North Korea nuclear proliferation; 6) responsibly manage immigration and shut our borders to illegal entry; 7) protect the dollar as currency reserve status; 8) declare drug cartels in Mexico and Central America as terrorist killers of millions of Americans by drug addiction and dismantle these criminal cartels; and 9) end enormous trade deficits and outsourcing.
Read MoreWe fear being pushed onto an oncoming subway car. Add mounting trash, drug addicts in subway stations, subway seats covered by sleeping people, aggressive beggars, tossed syringes… and a long list of troubling problems. An estimated 200,000 people in New York (now including recent migrants) are homeless. A comprehensive plan is long overdue. I offer one.
Read MoreAs your congressman I will put my heart and soul into obtaining federal funds to improve our subways, buses and infrastructure. From aging water/sewage pipes to poor subway service to tunnels supporting transportation, I will diligently work to keep our city vibrant.
Read MoreIt could take land nearly the size of Connecticut filled with solar panels or windmills to power New York City. Eventually, hundreds of millions of car and other batteries with toxic chemicals will be disposed. How will this be done safely? We have to plan and think things through more carefully. Continue using non-carbon producing nuclear power and prioritize inner earth heat (geothermal), ocean tides, improved conservation, planting millions-more carbon absorbing trees, more efficient appliances and transmission of electricity, hybrid and all-electric cars, efficient batteries, solar panel manufacturing in New York State, my waste to energy program, and statewide charging stations. Let’s vigorously research fusion energy (like the sun merging hydrogen into helium). Fusion would provide infinite clean energy. We must solve nature’s elusive riddle.
Read MoreJanuary 6th was a horror. I condemn violence as a means of overturning elections. Debate and free speech are acceptable, but never fierce behavior. There are more important goals than winning elections - like a healthy democracy. I propose reforms below for trust in elections, voter fraud, safety of elected officials, safety of elections staff, speedy trials, ending Gerrymandering, and seating representatives by state instead of party so that they actually talk to each other and start acting like healthy human beings instead of vicious hate mongers.Elections Trust.
