The Nightshift is made possible by the many businesses that require non stop 24-hour staffing and close attention to constant detail.
Some are attracted to it for various reasons. I worked that shift and called it the graveyard shift. If you're in a union, the pay is higher and it is called an overnight differential. But I jumped when I was offered another job because I never grow fond of it.
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.

While teaching communications at an Orthodox Jewish Yeshiva in Queens, NY, בית מדרש לתלמוד https://lcm.touro.edu/ I was asked by one of my Rabbinical students if I had ever blown a Shofar. I then thought it was a trick question, but I learned that a shofar is supposed to be a chaotic, helpless wail. 100 blows. To the gut.
‘Go Away’ Since the beginning of the global #COVID19 pandemic @POTUS has repeatedly said that the #coronavirus will disappear.
Everything Trump touches turns to crap, while he’ll pull out every stop, violate many norms to damage and destroy, the @USAGov
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.
