Normally on any weekday afternoon, we like to call City Island, A Slice of NYC Paradise. In fact 14 out of 15 days, it is a very quiet and quaint island village with 4,555 residents, full of restaurants frequented by visitors on weekends who flock to nearby Pelham Bay Park and Orchard Beach.

Today was unfortunately day 14 as a 52-year-old woman was shot three times while working on the bridge crew and was pronounced #DOA at Jacobi Hospital. The woman died after being shot multiple times on City Island Avenue. The suspect was struck by a car while fleeing the scene on a bike.

On last night's show  Lawrence was interviewing Aaron Sorkin and Sasha Baron Cohen about their award-winning film.

The US Senate begins former president Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial today in an unprecedented Congressional action.

Trump failed more than 60 court challenges in his false narrative that our election was stolen, so why does he keep lying about it? 
If Senate Republicans wanted to they could unite this great nation by convicting Donald Trump showing he is a no good liar

As a journalist familiar with this region, I should point out that this is not the same place. it is like the time the four seasons landscaping was confused with a hotel with a different reputation. This is day 1454 of non-stop lying, with 8 days and could be one of the reasons why the majority of Americans feel intense dislike or disgust for Trump and want him out of The White House. He incited the violent mob attack on the Capitol that was part of an assault on our Democracy.
