Democrats at it Again Op-Ed by Assemblyman Joseph DeStefano


Assemblyman Joseph DeStefano | Robert Chartuk

Thankfully, the state Supreme Court shot down the latest attempt by the Progressive Democrats to force their woke agenda on New Yorkers. They are pushing for a constitutional amendment that would allow men to compete in women’s sports and children to get abortions and gender changing procedures without telling their parents. While the court put the measure on hold for now, we need to brace ourselves for their next attempt.

Like most everything the Left does, they aren’t being truthful about their real intentions . The amendment innocuously calls for all citizens to be protected from discrimination. But dig deeper and you’ll see what they really mean is that children should have the right to do anything they want without telling their parents, while the government, instead of protecting the kids, will go after anyone trying to stop them.

Everyone knows that it’s wrong to have boys in a girl’s bathroom and men shouldn’t be going against women in sports, and it’s equally crazy to allow kids to change their sex without telling their parents. Yet, anyone speaking out against this becomes a target of not only the outside agitators, but of the government itself.

These are the same forces that invade our children’s lives with material promoting men dressed as women, transgender surgery, and abortion on demand. It’s all part of a decades-old strategy to weaken the family unit and establish government as the controlling authority in people’s lives. It’s no wonder that the most powerful influencer of children today is TikTok, an invasive media operation run by Communist China, a country where civil rights hardly exist.

The Marxist influence on America’s youth is so powerful that they have compelled college students to take to the streets in support of the terrorist regime Hamas. American youth draping themselves in Palestinian flags and disrupting the civil order can only be seen as a major coup by the forces aligned against us. These are the same interests that want us to change our constitution to promote even further degradation of our societal norms.

Sadly, the state Supreme Court does not have the last word on this issue. The Marxist Democrats who want ultimate power over every aspect of our lives will not give up and will take this to a higher court. As the debate rises to a fever pitch in the complacent media, and as the Chinese government bombards your kids with targeted propaganda, keep this in mind: Anyone pushing a constitutional amendment to allow men in women’s sports and radical surgeries in children without telling their parents have a hidden agenda that is absolutely not in the best interest of American society.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
