In This We Trust?

In the end is this all about power and money? According to the international Bible Psalm 56:4 (NIV) In God, whose word I praise — in God, I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

Is this is how these serious issues begin? Are the divided states of America on the most dangerous path to Trump Totalitarianism?

Happy Birthday Gabo

I’m a chronicler and I try to write honestly about things that others short change. I separated myself from what was the norm and from my corner I provided commentary on the city, the country, and the world. Right now, I’m healthy, I’m still writing, I’m still recording and working. And that, I will never take for granted. I will always appreciate it.

Longtime City Islander “mussel sucker” Virginia Gallagher, who is best known on City Island for her devotion to the retirees at Pilot Cove Manor, fell down there, broke her hip, was rushed and operated at Jacobi Hospital. fellhttp://www.nychealthandhospitals.org/jacobi/?nycGovRedirect

Virginia tells CITY IMAGES that she is in a lot of pain but wants to go home. Virginia is and has always been a real trooper. She took over the Presidency of the City Island Senior Citizens Residence, which had been trying for some time to build senior citizen housing on City Island.

Well, folks all that talk about acting presidential did not last very long. @realDonaldTrump @potus started off early this morning by accusing @potus44 President Omaba as well as attacking Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger and once again providing no proof whatsoever.

Truth and Honesty

Submitted by Admin on

There is nothing more important than inner beauty, integrity and honesty.

Let everyone be sincere to develop in ourselves that quality, so the people of the world to share.

No matter how plain looking you may think any person is, once we have the opportunity to look into their eyes and if we see truth and honesty written across their face, they will be the most beautiful person you will ever see.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen is expected to deliver a new and improved economic outlook in Chicago today.

The chair is expected to provide the strongest so far message of a possible March rate hike.

Fed policymakers have already said such a step could be necessary if the advances of the labor market were “in line" with their expectations, adding that they may need to get ahead of accelerating inflation by nudging short-term rates higher soon.

Encounters of The Fake Kind

Submitted by Admin on

My first encounter with what is now called "Fake News" occurred many years ago when I was working for the Associated Press in Texas, and we published a story about a bogus Boris Badenov.

For those of you too young to remember, Boris Badenov was the nemesis and foil on the hit cartoon Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, which ran on ABC and NBC from 1959 to 1965 (and remains in syndication today).

Boris Badenov was a spy for the fictional nation of Pottsylvania who took orders from that nation's fearless leader, Mr. Big.
