Before POTUS entered on the Execution of his Office, he took the following Oath - I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That signifies all the people from all the states, not just Red states.
When we first launched this blog, Ron Terner was kind enough to allow us to transmit live images of City Island avenue to grace our front page. Then, I had 28K views, according to Google analytics. We are now past 60K and growing.
Focal Point Gallery is the oldest establishment on City Island and Terner is celebrating 46 years in business, which is quite a feat, so let's give him a big hand. Let us also support him with dollars and cents. Ron is the greatest artist on the island.
POTUS and The Republicans can’t decide to do something corrupt and automatically pull it off, just because they want to. There’s a way things work in #USA politics, and Trump is always going to have to cave to The US Constitution.

The Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue has reached all the way to the rural USA because Trump is the kind of boss who can’t do the job but won’t go away.
So am I very worried? Yes, I am. I have just finished reading a book by Masha Gessen —Surviving Autocracy— that in my thoughts may become prophetic.
I am a professor of literature who, unlike Jonathan Swift, would have taken Sir Francis Bacon’s side in the "Fable of the Spider and the Bee.” Like Bacon, I like to distinguish the difference between “men of experiment" and "men of dogma.” I trust the former.
This upcoming election is different for all American voters who’ve participated in them throughout our young Democratic Republic.

With 50 days remaining before the election, the #USA political #CamPain mudslinging is going to get uglier every night and day.
I first met Michael Bloomberg when he held his farewell swan song Christmas Party for The NYC Press Corps at Gracie Mansion. https://www.bloomberg.com/company/
Bloomberg took the time to remind journalists of his accomplishments and once again restated that he loves New York City and plans to live here forever. There was no mention of his Bermuda home.
It is our America and we’re not going anywhere. The demographics include all Americans who identify as Hispanic or Latino ancestry.
As a journalist and educator, this year, I’m going to use Hispanic Heritage Month for special purposes, to educate our 60 thousand monthly visitors, according to Google Analytics on our rich heritage that we are in danger of letting slip through our fingers and hard-working hands.
