1. Welcoming Mayor Bill DeBlasio
I couldn’t be happier with the incoming Mayor, a breath of fresh air, and a renewed opportunity for NYC to have full potential for everyone. Mayor-Elect DeBlasio is trained, prepared, vigorous, and all of us should be ready to do our part to make these eight yearsthe best yet. And what a perfect First-Family they are. We’re with you, Bill!
2. Welcoming Our Elected Dems
Pretty much a broad sweep for the Democratic Party in NYC, with top leadership in City-wide and Borough Presidents offices, and a strong contingent in the NYC City Council. I know many of them, and they do represent a most positive future vision for NYC. Be assured, they will make a difference!
3. Gracie Mansion Is Not For Sale
Yes, some development jerks are now suggesting that Gracie Mansion should be put up for sale. Whether Mayor-Elect DeBlasio decides to reside there or not, it’s a most significant NYC historical site, and fully serves the people of New York for events, visits, pride, and as the “official home” of NYC Mayors, and it must remain that way.
4. It’s Holiday Season
I know well the church-state separation issues, and we carry them too far when a store cannot have a Christmas Sale, and now only a Holiday Sale. That’s only the very tip of the iceberg. We can learn from each other when we publicly celebrate Chanukah, Christmas, or Kwanzaa and so forth, for
that really is the American Way. So, let’s restore some sense to our country.
5. Christians Are Being Destroyed
The Muslim Middle East, in country upon country is ridding itself of its Christian communities, desecrating their churches, limiting their rights,
and in some cases, actually killing them, and generally forcing them out. We experienced this years ago with Jewish communities in Arab countries. We must speak out, and make it stop!!
6. Must Comment on Obamacare
The intent of Obamacare may have been right in its 2,100 pages of the legislation amounting to 1/6 of our economy that was literally smashed through Congress. It appears to be badly conceived, and we don’t even know yet since the implementation has been a disaster to date. Washington can do better! Need I say more!
