Dear Mr. President-
Democracy is not a joke. It’s something we must work hard at and are tremendously proud of. We all want it to last, which is why you must treat it accordingly.
It is not just enough to say America first, but you must match your words with actions and represent all Americans. If you put any of us last; it’s a tragic, sad affair.
Our lives are consumed by the logistics of running our households, managing careers and caring for our families. This great nation provides the foundation for everything that we and our forefathers have built together.
This third Sunday after Pentecost was the last religious service for Reverend Ezra Yew, Ph.D. and pastor for 6 years at Trinity Methodist on City Island. The congregation and many of his friends turned out in force to show his appreciation and also to thank his wonderful wife Lucia, who always greeted everyone with a radiant smile.
The warm weather matched the warmth in the hearts of every one of the multicultural individuals who filled the church, which represented all races and colors.
Dear Government-
What have you done for the US lately?
You have a GOP majority in Congress and WH.
There's no romance without healthcare and finance.
Remember that you're as good as your last day in office.
Yours truly,
-An American

Congress and The While House with your demands.

PS
Filling your pockets with payoffs does not drain the swamp in the US.
Have you ever asked what you can do for your country?
Puttering with Golf balls does nothing for the US.
Playing a blame gets nothing done for the US.
An old friend has died after a long and distinguished journalism career. Gabe Pressman was 93 years old. The Bronx native Gabriel Stanley "Gabe" Pressman was the dean of New York news and the senior correspondent for WNBC-TV. Gabe was born on February 14, 1924, and died June 23, 2017.
I had the pleasure and honor of working with Gabe at News 4 NY and also of introducing him to intelligent and extremely capable younger journalists, which he truly enjoyed.
