New York’s Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James disgraced themselves the day after the American people voted overwhelmingly to elect Donald Trump to become the forty-seventh president of the United States. Still defiant after the American people had clearly spoken with their votes of confidence in Mr. Trump’s leadership and policies, Hochul and James vowed resistance to the president-elect and his incoming administration. In Governor Hochul’s words, “You try to harm New Yorkers or roll back their rights, I will fight you every step of the way.”
Shortly before the election, Hochul smeared all New Yorkers who intended to vote for Mr. Trump as “anti-American.” It turned out that she managed to insult about 3.5 million New York citizens who voted for Mr. Trump, which was 43 percent of all those who turned out to vote in New York. Hochul’s definition of a “democracy” is a one-party system that espouses one vision for America and does not tolerate any significantly opposing views.
At her post-election appearance with Attorney General James, Governor Hochul likened the election result to the “storms” that “we have weathered before,” such as “epidemics.” She added that “we fought the first time around and we’ll fight again.”
Attorney General James declared: “My office has been preparing for a potential second Trump Administration, and I am ready to do everything in my power to ensure our state and nation do not go backwards…We are ready to fight back again.” James warned that “We’re ready to respond to any attempts to cut or eliminate any funding to the great state of New York. We will continue to stand tall in the face of injustice, revenge, or retribution.”
Ms. James’ Trump Derangement Syndrome led her to abuse her office in a vendetta of injustice, revenge, and retribution aimed at Mr. Trump. To keep Trump tied down in court and strip him of financial resources to mount another presidential campaign, James tried to bankrupt Mr. Trump with a bogus civil lawsuit that has already drawn skepticism from appellate judges. Now she is doubling down with her pledge “to fight back again.” What she is vowing to fight back against once again is the American people’s decision to elect Donald Trump as our president once again.
President-elect Trump has promised to begin mass deportation of illegal immigrants, beginning with criminal gang members who have been preying on innocent people, as his top priority upon taking office. The majority of the American people support mass deportation and view illegal immigration as one of their main concerns. But not Hochul and James. They prioritize preserving New York as a sanctuary state and protecting the so-called “rights” of illegal immigrants over the rights of law-abiding Americans to live in a secure, safe environment.
As part of her resistance battle plan to fight “policy and regulatory threats” that may emerge from the new Trump administration, Governor Hochul announced the formation of an “Empire State Freedom Initiative.” Among the alleged “threats from a Trump administration” is immigration, which the taxpayer-funded Empire State Freedom Initiative is tasked with addressing.
Thus, we can expect that one of the first battles that Governor Hochul and Attorney General James will launch against the Trump administration will focus on actions the new administration will take to strictly enforce the nation’s immigration laws. The administration is likely to cut federal funding to sanctuary states and cities. Hochul and James will likely howl and try to obtain a court injunction to stop the cutoff of funding. If that is the way they plan to proceed, the Supreme Court may ultimately have to decide the case. The Constitution’s federal Supremacy Clause and grant of exclusive powers to enforce the nation’s immigration laws to the federal government should allow the Trump administration to cut federal funding to a state whose sanctuary policies undermine federal law enforcement.
The Trump administration is also likely to unleash Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to root out illegal immigrants residing in shelters and hotels, including those housed in New York City at taxpayers’ expense. State or local officials who try to stop ICE agents from doing their job to capture and detain illegal immigrants should be charged with impeding federal law enforcement.
Progressive Democrats like Kathy Hochul and Letitia James cannot accept the fact that the American people chose Donald Trump as the forty-seventh president because they agreed with his policies on the economy, immigration, and national security. Many Americans are tired of being labeled “garbage,” “misogynist,” “racist,” “bigoted,” “xenophobic,” etc. for having their own thoughts about the state of the country under the Biden-Harris administration’s leadership that differ with the leftist elite’s orthodoxy. The American people voted for President-elect Trump as the change agent to steady what they fear is a sinking ship.
Instead of vowing to fight President-elect Trump and his incoming administration, Governor Hochul and Attorney General James should do some self-reflection along with their party to understand why they are so out of step with most Americans.

Hope Trump jails all of them
Allan Goldstein says
The next time NYC suffers a natural disaster, Trump should make sure only loyal neighborhoods get aid rapidly.
All others must wait, and when pressed, Trump should answer “Kathy Hochul has it.”

I can’t wait to see the look on Letitia James’ face and on Hochul’s face when Trump cuts off federal funds for NY when they resist his mass deportation of illegal alien invaders. Deportations in NY will be very easy – just drive ICE buses to the hotels and motels that are occupied 100% with illegals – load those buses up boys, we’re giving them a one-way trip to Tiajuana!
Snuffy Carter says
Trump should enlist the help of civilians when conducting his mass deportations – announce a $100 bounty on the head of each illegal that is captured or reported to ICE – a nice payback to the legal citizens that lost their jobs to illegals.
Snuffy Carter says
Presidents Truman (D) and Eisenhower (R) conducted mass deportations of illegal aliens in order to create job openings for veterans returning from WWII and Korea. The Presidents called their agenda “Operation Wetback.” I think President Trump is going to call his deportations “Operation Aurora” to remember those citizens in Colorado who had their apartments invaded by illegal gang members – but I think Trump could spice the name up a little – something that would make liberal heads explode – perhaps Elon can have a contest for us on X to submit operation names.

Well done.

God, I hope President Trump throws those two nasty dykes in prison where they belong.
David Ray says
Make sure it’s a male prison, since these fools are so fluid in gender identity. (Riley Gaines wouldn’t mind.)
For God’s sake, we have a Supreme Court justice that claims she can’t define a woman, because she’s “not a biologist”.
The Lavrentiy Beria acolyte, Letitia can ask for solitary if she doesn’t like it. (Give her a taste of the abusive, 3rd world conditions Jan 6th patriots are enduring.)
Side note: We have 2 chickenshit Senators vying for Majority Leader that took pleasure in ruining the lives of as many Trump supporters as possible, plus endorsing the Trump show trials. (Ted Cruz better vote Rick Scott.)
Intrepid says
Hochul and James were never the sharpest tools in the shed. and it’s going be a hoot and a half to watch these two morons fight the feds when it comes to illegal immigration. They seem to forget that immigration is a federal issue, not a state’s right issue.
I would imagine Hochul will lose her next bid to remain governor. And considering DEI James works for her, James should start packing her bags stating in January.
Rejoice, it’s the beginning of the end of the Soros funded prosecutors.
Larry says
Surely, given that immigration and immigration enforcement, is a wholly Federal matter then this “sanctuary city” garbage and the like is in breach of Federal law and they can be charged with conspiracy to breach said law.
Which is what should be done. Clear out the DoJ and then sic honest operators onto the lot of them.
Intrepid says
That’s what the dems never understood about illegal immigration and sanctuary cities. It always was a federal issue
Justin Swingle says
a pack of lawless lawyers and traitors. when it comes to the Democrat Party, what else is new?!?!?
THE ENTIRE RULING CLASS OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY ARE PARASITE GAMER LAWYERS WHO OPENLY LIE AND SUCK BRIBES BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW TO GAME IT!
Kathleen Hochul (/ˈhoʊkəl/ HOH-kəl; née Courtney; born August 27, 1958) is an American politician and lawyer who has served since August 2021 as the 57th governor of New York.

It hasn’t cost Leticia James anything really to go after President
Trump. She still has her prestigious, high-paying position and
backing of the tightly organized and moneyed Communist race-
baiting machine. And 100% backing of Gov. Kathy Hochul.
But Leticia James – clumsy cow and inept attorney that she is –
seriously hurt Donald J. Trump. How – if he was so overwhelmingly
re-elected President? By seriously bleeding him of his personal
finances in his legal defenses. Trump was consequently compelled
to look around for wealthy allies and found one in the richest man
on Earth, Elon Musk.
Musk is a Transhumanist. And so is Vice President-elect, J.D. Vance
whose Senate race was bank rolled by Peter Thiel, ardent trans-
humanist and billionaire co-founder of PayPal. President Trump is
not a Transhumanist and is wholly dedicated to the well-being of
America. So while Transhumanism is not a direct threat to America
and indeed the world at present – it will be a concept and fodder
for choosing good over evil that Americans will have to face head
on in the not too distant future.
Snowfrog says
It is almost comical that these two ladies think they have weathered storms before and will survive this one. They have never weathered a storm like the one headed their way. Trump is dead serious and will change the landscape of America. The libs have had their day, and they failed. The Dems experiment has utterly failed. They enabled drug addicts to litter the streets, they have ignored the millions of non-vetted aliens coming across the border. In essence they have set up America to fail. Trump will remind them that they have enabled hundreds of thousands of addicts to ruin California and other big cities. The libs have demonstrated their callousness in enabling the addicts to continue their destruction without any consequences. The adults are now back in charge and the children need to go back to their rooms. When the adjustments are made all will look back over the last four years as a terrible experiment in futility. It is time for the real leaders to take control and straighten out their mess.
Paul says
I’m sure NY and CA will resist and attempt to hinder the administration in any and all ways possible. Any state, county or city official, whether elected or appointed who actively interferes in any way should be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Keith Reese says
So Ms James is going to fight? No doubt in the heavyweight division. These people aren’t ignorant….just plain stupid.

THE DEEP STATE AND THEIR LAWYER GAMER IMPLEMENTORS – The Democrat Party is merely a bribes-sucking front for those who really operate the DEEP STATE
The Deep State War Against Donald Trump Begins
By Jerome R. Corsi
In a video posted on X on November 7, 2024, two days after the election, Trump detailed a plan to dismantle the Deep State. In this three-minute video, Trump explained how he would take a series of measures to “shatter the Deep State.”
Because he spoke before he was inaugurated, giving him the power to act, Trump alerted the Deep State that he represented an existential threat to its survival. The bottom line is that the Deep State cannot afford for Trump to become president on January 20, 2025.
Trump put the Deep State on notice that his first order of business was to investigate and prosecute in three areas:
2. The weaponization of the DOJ, the FBI, and certain intelligence agencies against President Trump’s 2016 and 2024 campaigns and Trump personally, going back to 2015, with emphasis upon exposing the truth about the “Russia collusion hoax” and the Mueller investigation farce; and
