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.

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.'”

Is our teachers learning? NYC Board of Education child abuser David Hay BUSTED!!!!!!!!!

The last post of the last year was on the need to crack on the NYC Education system. It is full of child abusers, and so no surprise that the first post if this year is on an official of the NYC Board of Education who was arrested for his strange proclivities. This is why we need the Democrats OUT of our schools and OUT of Congress!

See the facts below:

A New York City education official is facing child pornography charges after federal officials say he planned to meet with an undercover agent he thought was a 14-year-old boy.

David A. Hay, 39, was arrested December 29 on charges of using a computer to attempt to persuade, induce, or entice a minor to engage in unlawful sexual activity and possession of child pornography, according to a news release from the US Attorney's Office. He faces 10 years to life in prison if convicted on the enticement charge and up to 10 years if convicted on the child pornography charge.

At the time of his arrest, Hay was deputy chief of staff to New York City Department of Education Chancellor Richard Carranza, according to CNN affiliate WBAY-TV. He was fired after the arrest, the New York Times reported.

CNN has reached out to the education department, but has not heard back. Before joining the New York education department, Hay had been a teacher and principal at two high schools in Wisconsin.

Hay made hotel reservations to meet with a young boy

Hay began messaging Craig M. Hoffer, an undercover investigator with the Neenah Police Department in Wisconsin, on July 3, 2019, according to a criminal complaint. Neenah is about 40 miles southwest of Green Bay.

Hay messaged Hoffer believing he was a 14-year-old boy named Colton, the complaint states. The two were using a dating app called Grindr.

Hoffer says the first message he received from Hay read "Into daddies?" Hoffer then told Hay he was 14 and Hay replied "Yea I'm good w that," according to the complaint.

After exchanging messages on Grindr, Hay and the undercover agent switched to text messaging app TextNow, the complaint states.

Hoffer says they exchanged messages for months, and that he verified that the phone number he was texting was Hay's and that Hay's pictures in the Wisconsin Department of Transportation database matched the pictures in the text and on Grindr.

On December 9, Hay, who lives in New York, texted that he was visiting Wisconsin at the end of the month. The undercover officer then asked if the two could stay in a hotel, to which Hay said yes, the complaint said.

Hay made the reservation, but the complaint says he backed out an encounter citing family issues.

The complain also says Hay said he was "a bit scared" and also referred to their age difference.

The officer called the hotel the two were supposed to meet at on December 28, and the reservation listed all of Hay's contact information, the complaint said.

After obtaining a search warrant, Hoffer looked through Hay's phone where he found the fake pictures of "Colton" he sent to Hay. The agent also found sexually explicit photos from 2015 of a boy who did not appear to be 18 years old, the complaint said.

That individual told the officer he did not send the pictures when he was a minor but might have as an adult.

Hay was a principal at two schools in Wisconsin

Jonathan Smith, Hay's attorney, told CNN affiliate WBAY-TV the complaint does not suggest his client ever tried to meet with anyone.

"There's certainly references to conversations he purportedly had with someone who was purporting to be someone who was underage, whether that was reasonable to believe or not is something we'll have to explore," Smith said.

Hay appeared in federal court in Green Bay on Friday. He was released to live with his parents on home detention. Hay will be subject to electronic monitoring, WBAY reported.

Hay's next court appearance is scheduled for January 14.

Before he served as the deputy chief of staff in New York, Hay was a principal at two schools in Wisconsin, according to CNN affiliate WFRV-TV.

Kettle Moraine School District Superintendent Patricia Deklotz told WFRV Hay was hired as a business and marketing teacher in 2005.

"He served as a high school principal from 2008 until 2011," she said in a statement. In 2011, she said Hay didn't have the necessary license to continue holding his position and it was found that he used a district credit card for personal purchases.

Hay then served as the principal of Tomah High School from 2011 to 2014. He resigned to pursue a doctorate at Harvard, district superintendent Cindy Zahrte told WFRV.
