Dear John,
As we celebrate Labor Day weekend and the end of summer, I wanted to take a moment to pause and reflect on what this holiday means to our nation and our fellow citizens.
Labor Day is a day to pay tribute to the remarkable accomplishments and contributions of the American worker. But, with everything going on in the world right now, it’s important not just to celebrate those achievements, but to also recognize the bigger picture of why those accomplishments are possible and the value system we share as fellow Americans.
The spirit and tenacity of the American worker is unlike any in the world. We are creators and builders and dreamers. We work in service of others. We innovate and evolve. There is nothing we aren’t capable of doing. We have proven time and again throughout history that we have earned our place as the leaders of the free world.
Our ability to pursue our passions and build our exceptional nation is only possible because of our freedoms. But, as we were so painfully reminded last week with the tragic loss of 13 our U.S. Service Members, freedom is never free. We also learned that lesson through covid when blanket shutdowns of our economy decimated our small businesses and destroyed livelihoods. We lived under a government that told us some businesses are essential, while others were not allowed the freedom to operate. That is un-American and can never happen again.
Today, we are facing a very real labor shortage crisis and the just-released jobs report showing a weak 235,000 jobs created (half a million less than expected) is terrible news for our economy. Record inflation has driven a stake through all of the wage growth we saw under the previous administration.
So, this holiday, let’s celebrate the incredible accomplishments of American workers. But let us also remember the American values that they are born from. Each and every one of us has something to contribute and we owe it to ourselves and our fellow citizens to live up to that potential. We must fight to protect our freedoms and our inalienable right to pursue our dreams. We must fight to continue to be the beacon of hope and opportunity for oppressed people around the world who would give anything to enjoy the American way of life.
We must fight to keep America, America.
In gratitude,

Question from Last Week:
From Shannon: Why does the media totally ignore Biden's phone call with the Afgan President where he admitted to knowing a Taliban takeover was imminent and basically begged him to lie to the public so they all save face?
Answer: Thank you for the question on this, Shannon. Learning that Joe Biden knowingly lied to the American people while putting our citizens and troops in danger and doing nothing to expedite their extraction is downright infuriating. The fact that the media refuses to give it to the attention it deserves is rubbing salt on the wound. Sadly, this is what we have come to expect from an activist press corps that is more interested in clicks and tweets and advancing their personal political agenda than they are in fact-finding. This is why we must fight so hard to make sure our voices are heard and are not censored whether it be by big-tech or the corporate media.

Every week we are choosing a candidate to highlight who needs your support!
Bob Pecoraro
Candidate- Mayor of North Tonawanda
Pecoraro, a 63-year-old retired Colonel who served over 30 years on active duty in the United States Air Force (USAF), commanded units at the detachment, squadron, and group levels. He was a results-oriented leader and manager who achieved the rank of Colonel due to his sustained outstanding performance in command, operations, staff responsibilities, and academics. Col. Pecoraro has devoted thirty years of his life to serving the United States Air Force. Today, he is putting these strengths to great use in his official capacity for North Tonawanda, where no problem is too big to solve.
Pecoraro, who grew up in North Tonawanda, credits the teamwork in the Mayor’s Office, the Common Council, and the North Tonawanda Municipal Departments for his success as Alderman and is thrilled to continue his service to the community with his main focus on ensuring economic growth and continued infrastructure improvements, while pursuing quality-of-life initiatives for all residents. While serving as Alderman at Large, Pecoraro has supported economic growth of the city as many new businesses opened, from Ivy Lea Construction Headquarters, the move of Old Editions Book Store into the former Platters Chocolate facility, to the most recent announcement of the opening of Spot Coffee as a function of DESTINATIONT in the former G.C. Murphy building. He will continue this on the Council and also as First Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce of the Tonawandas.

The special session was called after the federal moratorium expired on Tuesday. While lawmakers haven't started voting just yet, Senate Majority Democrats say they expect the measure to pass. However, not everyone supports the move. The state GOP Chairman Nick Langworthy says "Extending the eviction moratorium, particularly while the state is sitting on billions in relief funds that haven't been distributed, is the height of incompetence and completely disregards the constitutional rights of property owners."

Resigning from office probably didn’t end former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s legal problems, and no matter what happens next, taxpayers are likely to wind up with a hefty bill.
The state has already agreed to pay up to $9.5 million to lawyers representing and investigating Cuomo and his administration over sexual harassment allegations and other matters, according to The Associated Press’ review of available contracts. That figure — which represents the maximum amount that could be spent, not actual bills submitted so far — includes up to $5 million for lawyers who have represented Cuomo’s office, up to $3.5 million for lawyers hired by the state attorney general to investigate sexual harassment allegations against the Democrat, and at least $1 million in bills for lawyers hired by the legislature as part of an impeachment investigation. It doesn’t include the legal fees of Cuomo’s private attorney, Rita Glavin, whose bills are being paid by his campaign committee. Cuomo’s successor, Gov. Kathy Hochul, can decide whether the state will continue to pay lawyers to defend the former governor and his administration going forward.

Two Gold Star fathers of U.S. Marines killed in an ISIS-K-linked blast in Kabul amid President Joe Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal lambasted the commander in chief for acting selfish in their interactions. Mark Schmitz, father of Missouri Marine Jared Schmitz, and Darin Hoover, father of Utah Marine Darin Taylor Hoover Jr. discussed their tragic and terrible losses in an interview with "Hannity" on Monday. Schmitz elected to meet with Biden, while Hoover told host Sean Hannity he "didn't want [Biden] anywhere near us." Schmitz said their meeting, however, was not pleasant, adding that the president reportedly spoke more about his own deceased son, former Delaware State Attorney General Joseph "Beau" Biden III, than he did Jared. The younger Biden, who died in 2015 at age 46, had served in Iraq with the U.S. Army and passed away from glioblastoma – an aggressive form of brain cancer. "Initially, I wasn't going to meet with him," Schmitz said. "But then I felt I owed it to my son to at least have some words with him about how I felt – and it didn't go well." "He talked a bit more about his own son than he did my son, and that didn't sit well with me." Hoover told "Hannity" the reasoning behind his decision not to meet with Biden was manifested at Dover Air Force Base, Del., where the president and first lady were on hand to solemnly greet the caskets of the 13 fallen American heroes over the weekend.

This November, voters will consider changes to New York's redistricting process that would cap the number of members in the state Senate at 63 members, make it so people in prison are not counted as residents of the facility they are incarcerated in and eliminate the use of "alien" in redistricting language. But one provision could give more power to state lawmakers when it comes to the finalized maps for how a commission will draw boundaries for the House of Representatives and state legislative districts in New York. And that power could ultimately rest with Democratic supermajorities in the Legislature. Given the stakes — the House of Representatives teetering on a knife's edge and the potential for Republicans in New York to be shut out of power for a generation — some in the GOP are concerned with the impact of the amendments. Spectrum News 1 spoke with former Republican Rep. John Faso about the proposed changes and why he's opposed.

President Biden pressured Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani to create the “perception” that the Taliban weren’t winning, “whether it’s true or not,” in a phone call just three weeks before the insurgents seized control of the country, a bombshell leaked transcript shows.
Biden and Ghani spoke for roughly 14 minutes on July 23 in what would be their final call before the Taliban overran the government and Afghanistan descended into bloody chaos amid the botched US withdrawal, according to a transcript and audio obtained by Reuters. Much of the call was focused on what Biden referred to as the Afghan government’s “perception” issue. “I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things are not going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban,” Biden said. “And there is a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture.”
