It took plenty of effort from the time Ron Terner and I first discussed the idea of a FREE City Island Film Festival, but the time has come.

Come and meet the artists. Kim, Rudernan and The Breen Brothers, which may sound like a law firm but they’re filmmakers and City Island Arti-Suns.

The First City Island Film Festival for Muscle Suckers and Clam Diggers. Every Boro has gems and The Bronx offers plenty. City Island is A Slice of NYC Paradise.

Edu Cat

I’m an EduCat. When I was a youngster, I became conscious of issues of equity, and the severe lack of diversity in American education.

My family emigrated from Cuba a country that was torn apart by Communism and war caused by government corruption and inequities.

Being Latino and studying English in the American public educational system in different states allowed me to experience how equity impacts students. With our family’s moves, I went from attending a school that was predominantly students of color, to a school with mostly White, to high school which was White.

Day of the Dead is a holiday celebrated throughout Mexico, and by people of Hispanic ancestry living in other places, especially the United States. It is acknowledged internationally in many Latin American nations.

The Day of the Dead is all about celebrating deceased loved ones so dressing up is probably a good idea because your beloved departed loved ones are there with you in spirit. We all have to look nice.

I've never been a fan of skeletons, perhaps because they are such straightforward symbols of death. Todos Somos Calaveras.

Is Putin pushing POTUS around by manipulating Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the 12th President of Turkey since 2014 and NATO member? Trump gave Putin a gift by allowing him to fill the vacuum the #USA left in Syria.

Turkey said it would continue the offensive they postponed for 120 hours against Kurdish Syrian fighters in northeast Syria following USA request but after meeting with Russia Erdoğan is working with Putin.

Does this mean America has just lost another ally, thereby breaking a NATO link, jut the way Putin planned it? Who is Is POTUS really working for?

Did you say Phony Emoluments Clause? Do your job to protect and defend America and do not forget to tell the real truth and nothing but the truth. We The People spent $100 million on golf outings, nearly 100 percent of which occurred at your properties.
