Wouldn’t it be great if this were the case again when all were welcome here in America?

Our nation is increasingly agitated and unless you've been living under a rock, most of us know the horrific data and news stories that follow about hate, violence, and terror, which are threats to #USA. And it has been a terrible time for Americans who believe in the rule of law.

Guilty As Charged?

POTUS is well on his way towards impeachment by Congress. A longtime political adviser has now been convicted on 7 counts. His personal attorney is under investigation for alleged criminal ties to 2 indicted associates and the charges keep piling on.

All the President’s mess could very well be unraveling in real-time. This is not a good sign for a man in charge of America’s well being, including yours and mine.

Impeachment Round Two

US Congress levels charges against individual one, a high government official.

Impeachment does not in itself remove the official definitively from office; it is similar to an indictment in criminal law, and thus it is essentially the statement of charges against the official.

If POTUS is impeached, he must then face the possibility of conviction on the charges by a US Senate vote, which is separate from the impeachment but flows from it, and a judgment that convicts the official on the articles of impeachment entails the official's definitive removal from office.

A shooting has one student dead, and others critically wounded in Southern California High School. This is just the latest in a string of school shotting around our nation.

At 7:30 this morning a student gunman opened fire at a Southern California high school, leaving one dead and several others injured before he was taken into custody.

The shooting occurred around 7:30 a.m.

It came too close for me personally, as my daughter lives in the vicinity and my granddaughter goes to school in the area. They are safe, Thank God.

Island For The Dead

America’s largest public cemetery is also the loneliest place in New York City.

Everyone who ends up on Hart Island is because things have gone terribly wrong for them. They died without any money, or family member to claim their body and therefore a stranger in a strange land.

I live on City Island, which is next to it and I have had a rare opportunity to visit Hart Island with restricted access, but fortunately for me, the short visit was a curious one.

Are you prepared for many early blasts of cold arctic air that will consume much of the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. over the next few years, making it feel like you're in the middle of Winter Wonderland? Climate Change is here.

Although we are not officially In Winter yet, these low temperatures can quickly become a cold and harsh time of year, and while hot chocolate and Honey Jack are always great standbys, sometimes the real warmth we need can only be felt inside our hearts.

My late and oldest brother Antonio J Soto III was a US Army veteran. Although he never met his grandkids #AJSotoV or #IsabelSoto, he would have been a loving grandpa and extremely proud of them. Tony was an amazing athlete, known a The Cuban Bullet and considered himself a proud American, who faithfully served the military.

Veterans Day is observed on November 11, to honor all persons who served in the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with other holidays, including Armistice Day.
