Hillary Clinton is in trouble for using her personal email, while serving as Secretary of State. She claims she used her private email account for convenience and acknowledges deleting thousands of personal emails in her first remarks on the controversy.

However, don't believe everything you hear, or read until all the facts are sorted out. There are bound to be more questions about key authentications, mail file messages and her private server.

WATCH FOR BILLY COME LATELY?

Submitted by Admin on

The legendary laggard NYC Mayor de Blasio continues to show up late, while he blames late-running meetings at Gracie Mansion.

Noticeably late to NYPD Officer Rafael Ramos's memorial, the embattled Mayor Bill de Blasio made it to the service only just before its conclusion. He's been late so many times, including a Flight 587 memorial service in nearby Belle Harbor last year that he missed a moment of silence for the victims.

As THE ANIMALS song says, we've got to get outta this place, if its the last thing we ever do...

Following an endless amount of cold weather, more snow than usual, and a longer than usual winter, some native New Yorkers are reportedly leaving New York City for warmer climates, claiming the cold winds and snow, not to mention the crime rate have all been mood-killers.

GOP LETTER

Nearly 50 Republican US Senators have signed a letter addressed to Iran on U.S. Senate letterhead.

Their letter said Iran’s ongoing negotiations on its nuclear program with President Obama is a waste of time, but it doesn’t address anything specific regarding Iran’s nuclear program.

There are no suggestions, no alternative proposals, no conditions under which the GOP would approve a deal of any kind, it offers no hope of resolving one of the biggest U.S. foreign policy challenges of the last 35 years. So why was the letter written?

We have good news and bad news. First, the good news. TODAY is National Napping Day. The opportunity provides time to adjust after changes to daylight savings when losing an hour of sleep due to ‘springing forward’.

Birds do it, bees do it and even Supreme court Justices do it. So, if you're driving somewhere, pull over at a rest area and take a well deserved nap.

Mid-afternoon naps are an integral part of most cultures, and scientifically proven to be good for you. Here’s to justifying a few hours of well deserved nap.

EMPOWERING "WE"

Submitted by Admin on

We often hear, or listen to the phrases "We The People" "How Are We Doing?" "We Are The World"

The power of we signifies collective wisdom. No one person ever has all of the answers, and regardless of your amount of Google searches , consulting with others will give us better information.

Pushing our limits may be difficult when working alone, because it’s easy to give up. By surrounding ourselves with others working toward an objective, we’ll get motivation, support, and friendly competition to push ourselves just a bit further than we would have done on our own.
