VOTE

Images

American democracy depends on fair maps. Next Tuesday, voters in Virginia, Mississippi, Kentucky, and other states will have their final opportunity to elect the state legislators and governors who can draw them. Please cast your ballots.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibits voter discrimination based on race, color, or membership in a language minority group.

The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993 created new ways to register to vote. It also called for states to keep more accurate voter registration

Believe in You

All journeys have highs and lows.

There are times when I can’t miss, that I am literally and figuratively invincible.

There are days I wonder if I will be any good, or if I have something to offer, am I fooling myself?

However, I am a positive person and that means that to get back on track. I re-rack.

I hope this song inspires you today not give up on anyone including yourself.

We’re vulnerable, unsure, but hopeful, and optimistic. It’s a package deal.

Represent America

This introduction from Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the National Security Council’s top Ukraine expert represents every one of us whose family also emigrated to this great nation.

My family fled XYZ when I was three and a half years old.
Upon arriving in New York City in 1979, my father worked multiple jobs
to support us, all the while learning English at night. He stressed to us the
importance of fully integrating into our adopted country.

Halloween Excitement

This is not only Halloween weekend, but mu youngest grandchild Olivia's birthday, making her a very special holiday baby.

In other nations it is called El Dia De Los Muertos, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is a celebration observed in several countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day.

Fake Boos?

This is not fake news, nor is it fake boos. The Baseball championship game of the World Series was going well until an announcement was made over the intercom that POTUS was there, Although this is sad that Americans are reacting this way in public, it speaks volumes about the state of our political discourse.

Just before the fourth inning started, the video screens carried a salute to our military service members that drew loud cheers throughout the stadium. When the video cut and they announced the Trumps were there, a torrent of boos and heckling.

Never Give Up

Although the grey days of winter are upon us once again in NYC and it will soon be fiercely cold and damp with precipitation. I don't let the cold days get me down, instead, I try to get inspired.

Old man winter is arriving this weekend's time change then the shortest day of the year. First of all, I don’t like cold weather. This a huge problem for me. As a native of Habana, we don’t get snow.

The Hand of Putin

Images

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is the President and undisputed dictator of Russia since 2012, and his relationship with Trump is epic.

Did anyone notice that Trump’s acknowledgment of Russian cooperation with the U.S. special operations mission that left Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi dead is worrisome? Before thanking “the great intelligence professionals who helped make this very successful journey possible” and the soldiers and sailors, airmen and Marines involved in the operation, Trump expressed gratitude to Russia and then repeated it several times.

Big al-Baghdadi Dead

Besides announcing the big deal death of al-Baghdadi, POTUS took the time to mention Russia about a dozen times and to promote his book as he would at a photo-op? However, his most serious decision was refusing to notify Congressional leaders but notifying Putin ahead pf time.

Swamp Monster

OPINION - There’s really no exact recipe for success when it comes to longevity and this is certainly true when it applies to The Grand Old Party, also known as the Republicans.

The GOP is sure to pay an extremely heavy price for following and supporting POTUS embracing Russia and by allowing him to not drain but to overflow the swamp.

The bottom line is that the damage is done the Democrats are winning and will ultimately impeach Donald Trump for his high crimes and misdemeanors.

City Island Foto and Film Festival

It took plenty of effort from the time Ron Terner and I first discussed the idea of a FREE City Island Film Festival, but the time has come.

Come and meet the artists. Kim, Rudernan and The Breen Brothers, which may sound like a law firm but they’re filmmakers and City Island Arti-Suns.

The First City Island Film Festival for Muscle Suckers and Clam Diggers. Every Boro has gems and The Bronx offers plenty. City Island is A Slice of NYC Paradise.
