WHY UN?

Submitted by ub on

The United Nations is an intergovernmental organization to promote international co-operation,but with more inaction than its worth. As a replacement for the equally ineffective League of Nations, the organization was established on 24 October 1945. UN is also a prefix meaning “not,”which is freely used as a formative, giving negative or opposite force in adjectives and their derivative adverbs and nouns.

Why NOT pull the plug and prevent a slow painful death?

The 1899 City Island Bridge, which has been connecting this slice of NYC paradise with Rodman's Neck on the US mainland is about to have its iconic top come down. Meanwhile, there is an increasing fear of isolation and concern to some residents.

A number of states are holding primaries for local government elections today.

Registered voters in several states are casting their ballots to determine which government candidates will compete in the general election, mostly for local and state office holders.

NY Assemblyman Bill Nojay was up for re-election but we learned that he fatally shot himself over the weekend. If he wins this election, party leaders in the three-county district will be required to nominate another candidate within 10 days.

There is one more rose in Spanish Harlem, where I met up with an old friend and journalist Isolda Peguero, La Periodista, as well as meeting new ones. But if you can, try them this weekend to enjoy fine tapas and delicious botanas, along with an open air ambiance. BE King https://youtu.be/OGd6CdtOqEE

DESPERATE DANGERS

Submitted by ub on

American voters are increasingly frustrated with the choices for president of The United States of America.

From the major candidates, one side has chosen a member of what could be a political dynasty of US presidents, who is secretive and prefers not to confide with the press or the government.

On the other side, we have an egomaniac birther-liars who insults religions, administrators, justices, legislators, and US military but has managed to pull the wool over the eyes of some desperate for change.

Who, When, Why, What, Where and How?

I recall being on Broadway in Manhattan when the first plane crashed. My Associated Press office was located at 1995 Broadway, where I stayed with my Tocayo Bob Feldmnan to service AP's hundreds of clients until I later decided to visit Ground Zero. There, I ran into a former staff member, who asked if I was OK? My eyes turned watery, while I tried to assure myself that it was from dust and not rage that human beings could do this to US.

Submitted by ub on

Long Island University's Brooklyn campus, in a contract fight with the faculty union, tells 400 professors not to come to work and cuts them off from health insurance.

Hundreds of LIU faculty union members were told that their services were no longer required and that their positions, their health insurance, and their campus email accounts were being cut off. Classes for the semester started Wednesday.
