Free Republic

President-elect Donald Trump on Monday selected former Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York to oversee the Environmental Protection Agency in his administration. In a statement announcing the appointment, Trump described the former four-term House Republican from Long Island as "a true fighter for America First policies."

So whatever happened to the 'dark' picture of a "dangerous" boogeyman the left tried to scares us of? It is why most Americans never bought them as ever being sincere. So much for falsehood. Now to truth: Meantime, America first is marching forward : Tom Homan and Stephen iller on immigration / broken border. Lee Zeldin alleviating business hit by radical woke.

Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), one of the most prominent pro-Israel politicians in America, accepted the endorsement of several Arab American leaders for former President Donald Trump in New York City on Thursday. Zeldin, who is Jewish, accepted the endorsement on behalf of Trump himself, who is campaigning in the swing states ahead of Tuesday’s election. The scene was almost surreal: Zeldin, one of the most prominent Zionists on Capitol Hill, standing shoulder to shoulder with Arab and Muslim leaders who may have rather different views on Israel. But the Trump campaign appears to be pulling off one of the...

SNIP “Cuomo’s going for mayor. Can’t stop Cuomo from going for mayor. And no matter what anyone says about our current mayor he has done some good things. Could happen a candidate is some rich man — big money, wants importance, do good, get his name around — like maybe Ron Lauder. Or underestimated Long Island congressman Lee Zeldin. I’m more behind the scenes. I don’t get credit for things.” SNIP “Listen,” she told me, “My mother’s mother was abused. My mother uneducated. Raised three kids, some half siblings. Mom met dirt poor dad in Ireland in eighth grade. Life...

[cut] Rewind the tape to 2021. In the aftermath of media behemoths spreading dragon-fire cancerous acid all over the January 6 events intending to name Donald Trump public enemy number one and cancel everyone who supported him. Rewind the tape to the gubernatorial race in the state of New York. A bright, shiny face of a former Congressman who had worked sun up to sun down supporting President Trump’s legislative policies, defended him in committees and called out the lies of Adam Schiff in hearings ran for Governor of New York State. His name is Lee Zeldin.

In a recent interaction on Twitter Space, Gorka, a former deputy assistant and counterterrorism advisor to President Donald Trump, provided some tantalizing clues about the potential VP pick: a male former New York politician who is currently campaigning with Trump.

Former Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin on Monday endorsed former President Donald Trump, becoming the latest current or former Republican lawmaker to back the ex-president ahead of the 2024 primary, The Hill reported. “The GOP is filled with amazing talent to save our country from the failed policies of the Biden Admin,” Zeldin posted on Twitter in a statement shared by the Trump campaign. “Our nominee in 2024 will be the 45th & 47th POTUS, Donald Trump. Our economy will be stronger, our streets will be safer, & our lives will be freer. He has my full support!” .....

A well-timed counterpunch against the duplicitous backstabbing by Ron DeSantis that took place in August of 2022 is delivered by former New York Congressman and former New York Governor candidate Lee Zeldin today. Zeldin endorses Donald Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination:[SOURCE]If you have followed the deep weeds of GOP politics, you already knew this was likely.At a key moment in the New York governor race, in late August of 2022, shortly after the Mar-a-Lago raid, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was scheduled to be keynote speaker at a New York City Zeldin dinner/fundraiser. Before the fundraiser, DeSantis went to pick...

VIDEOShame Pain. It is the pain that breaks out on a face trying to suppress the SHAME someone feels. Such was the case when Jake Tapper heard former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin explain that over the top biased prosecutor Alvin Bragg is NOT the person to bring about the indictment of President Donald Trump over laughably flimsy charges. Basically massaging an expired misdemeanor into a felony. It is the pain of knowing that the FIRST time a former President (and current candidate) has been indicted, it was at the hands of a prosecutor who has a reputation of avoiding...

Poor Lee Zeldin. If only he would have run for governor in a state that still has free and fair elections. The Republican candidate was leading in several polls on election day in New York State but lost to hapless Kathy Hochul, a complete imbecile. Now New York State can continue its death spiral of crime, violence, socialism, and oppressive regulations. Lee Zeldin helped elevate Republican candidates in the state. Lee Zeldin probably helped save the House by bringing four new Republican congressmen-elect across the finish line. We owe him a lot.

There are still plenty of reasons to celebrate what happened in New York — and here they are.To the dismay of many New York conservatives, incumbent Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul defeated Republican challenger Lee Zeldin in the midterm contest. But underneath the disappointing loss is a gubernatorial comeback story and a spate of down-ballot GOP candidates who made a bigger red splash in the Empire State than many other candidates were able to pull off around the country.With 94 percent of the vote tallied, Zeldin trails Hochul by a little over 300,000 votes or 5.6 percentage points. And while this...

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is projected to defeat Republican nominee Lee Zeldin and win her first full term in the governor’s mansion. NBC News and ABC News called the race for Hochul shortly after 11 p.m. E.T. Headed into Election Day, Hochul was leading Zeldin, a Trump-endorsed congressional lawmaker, by just a few points. The race was largely seen as a toss-up in the final stretch. Hochul was the lieutenant governor under former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), who stepped down last fall amid allegations of sexual harassment and accusations he covered up nursing home deaths during...

A female protester at a Gov. Kathy Hochul rally in Manhattan was choked by a man during a skirmish Saturday evening that also involved a New York City lawmaker, footage shows. The melee occurred near the landmark Stonewall Inn, where the Democratic candidate Hochul was appearing with Bravo host Andy Cohen to shore up LGBTQ support in the days before the gubernatorial election. Footage captured by the independent Viral News NY showed the middle of the altercation, in which a man in shorts and a plaid short-sleeve shirt choked a woman wearing a black sweatshirt. Councilwoman Crystal Hudson, a Democrat...

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul brushed off rising crime and claimed challenger Lee Zeldin was “hyperventilating” over the key issue Monday — just hours after two subway riders were stabbed, including a good Samaritan who intervened when he saw a woman getting harassed. During a campaign stop on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Hochul tried to downplay Zeldin’s criticism of her and former President Bill Clinton for “laughing and joking about subway crimes” at an event Saturday. “I say: check the source,” Hochul told reporters outside the West 72nd Street subway station at Verdi Square.

Joe Biden traveled to Westchester County, New York Sunday evening to deliver remarks at a Democrat campaign event. He had no idea what he was saying. He had no idea where he was. During his brief remarks, Old Joe got heckled. Then he tripped and almost fell.

The Biden Administration will be known to history for many things: an open border and its deadly consequences, the abandonment of Afghanistan, weakness that led to catastrophe in Europe, skyrocketing inflation, and the use of federal law enforcement to target political opponents. ... American people must deliver to Joe Biden an unequivocal message: that they refuse to be gaslit, that they are not buying what he is selling. .... Biden’s open border. The reversal of Trump-era border enforcement, and his effective encouragement of illegal border crossings, has led to widespread human suffering. ... Americans are dying, too, as toxic fentanyl...

Zeldin supporter attacked at Hochul event. (Credit: Viral News) In the last days before the election, we’ve been seeing an uptick in violence and threats from folks from people on the left against people on the right over campaigns and the election. We reported on the violence against New Hampshire state Senate candidate Lou Garguilo, who said that he had a truck drive at him and his supporters, someone threw a coffee at him, and another person threw a power tool battery at his wife’s head.There was another incident a few days ago. Scott Lennox was arrested after allegedly...

During A 11/6/22 Speech, Joe Biden Declares He's For "No More Drilling" Just Days Before Midterm Elections

Joe Biden said during an event in New York Sunday there would be 'no more drilling' in the U.S. one day after Joe Manchin blasted him for vowing to close coal plants - while the president nearly took a spill on stage. The president could be heard at one point telling someone in the crowd 'No more drilling. There is no more drilling. I haven't formed any new drilling. No.'

In a Hail Mary attempt to prevent Republican Lee Zeldin from pulling off an upset next Tuesday, Democrat Kathy Hochul’s campaign decided to deploy an army of shrill, hectoring fishwives to stump for her in reliably Democrat Manhattan Thursday. And all they managed to do is make Zeldin sound cool. As I mentioned earlier this week, the panicked Hochul held a rally featuring the unpopular Kamala Harris and the equally unpopular Hillary Clinton. And during the event, Democrat Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney referred to Lee Zeldin as “Mr. No, Mr. Darkness.” When “New Yorker” reporter Erin Durkin tweeted Maloney’s quote...
