President-elect Donald Trump’s baseless allegations of “voter fraud” are not substantive and voter fraud has been debunked in numerous studies, his claims give leverage to political leaders who fought to keep in place strict laws such as voter ID laws that disenfranchise minority voters.

However, yesterday, a jury to convicted a Trump supporter on 10 counts of election law fraud, following a trial in Michigan Supreme Court.

What is Trump saying now about the election he won? http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2016/11/what_is_trump_saying_now_a…

Welcome December and Christmas, but Turtle Doves and US wages now hike The 12 Days of Christmas to an all-time price tag of $34K. The US slow recovery of the economy continues to keep the cost of Christmas or at least the gifts listed in "The Twelve Days of Christmas" from spiraling out of control. Blame wages and turtle doves: '12 Days' now costs $34,363 https://apnews.com/519e3626e6464f5689980fa8ba3ec7a5

Willie Colón returns to his roots in The Bronx on Dec.10th @ 8 p.m. for a Navidad/Christmas Concert at Lehman Center in The Bronx.

The Christmas songs will include "Asalto Navideño," "Canto a Borinquen" and "Arbolito," as well as classic salsa hits like "Oh Que Sera," "Sin Poderte Hablar" and "Idilio," according to Lehman Center.

Willie's salsero side is delighted to come back where it all started, he comes back to The Bronx where he's from and doesn't get to play Christmas songs all the time, so it's a welcome change.

Longtime City Island resident and a member of the Greatest Generation passed away. Russell F.
Schaller was 93 years young and enjoyed a wonderful sense of humor 1923 - 2016.

SLEEPING=HEALTHY SEX

Calorie Restriction improves our ability to sleep, sexual function and mood for healthy and nonobese adults.

Cutting calories is difficult in a world where it’s easy to overconsume calories. And too many people fail to stick to their diets, especially during the holidays. This reporter is guilty as well. While some gain their weight back, others continued to do fairly well well. I've heard of folks getting up in the middles of sleep to eat and that is not a good practice. Cum si cum so?

Monday Mourning?

Are Cubans really mourning the possible end of no breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Under Castro, there also was no human rights nor democracy, the only thing both Castro brothers have done extremely well is holding onto power.

If Cubans who are still stuck on the communist island do not show up to pay homage at Revolution Square for the mass mourning for Fidel Castro, they better watch their backs if they cry out Cuba si, Castro no!

USA RECOUNT

Some are calling a recount vote in Wisconsin, and other key battleground states a distraction, but Trump may have attracted all this drama and it is also proper to point to democratic rights. If the President-elect claims that millions voted illegally why not a ballot recount?

Trump's tactics brought on these recounts with actions and words during a toxic camp pain and most recently, with allegations of illegal votes in the millions without any proof.
