Our presidential election is right around the corner. This election will affect the entire future of this country. Were Trump to be reelected as President of the United States, the chances of his survival, either mentally or physically, are slim. Should he not survive if in office, JD Vance, his Vice President, would become President …

Long May We Endure
The United States is 248 years old, and we are once again facing the dangerous dissolution of our democracy. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln addressed the nation with the following words: “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that …
Oh My God
This is a blog by Heather Cox Richardson (https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com) posted on October 13, which ought to be of interest to anyone going to the polls to vote: “He is the most dangerous person ever. I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline and so forth, but now I realize he’s a …
Decency Matters
Something has gone agley with America. Certainly the founding fathers never dreamt that crooks and criminals would dominate the government of the United States. How naive it was to think that only decent people who believed in the democracy and who wanted to do the best for the country, that they would be the dominant …
Child Care
Kamala Harris on a recent TV interview spoke of the problems women face in trying to take care of their young children, and at the same time, to hold a job. The woman in question needs the job to be able to afford rent and food. Why does not every office building have a childcare …
Sunny Side of the Street
This city seems to come up with one more stupid idea after another. The very latest is to get rid of the parking in NYC. Per parking spot, the city would lose a total of around $25,000 per year from the elimination of the spot – multiply that by, let’s say, 1,200 parking spots, and …
God’s Green Acre
For several years on 53rd Street and Park Avenue, the entire block has been trashed. A perfectly beautiful apartment building was torn down, presumably to be replaced by something. However, the years have passed and it has been replaced by nothing. It is incomprehensible that the city does not at least turn this empty eyesore …
Manhattan Moving Out
A recent trip to Astoria proves what seems to have been clear for a long time. If you walk the streets of Manhattan, most of the shops are closed; if you walk the streets of Astoria, most of the stores are open. It is quite clear that Manhattan has moved to Astoria. Manhattan has become …
He Who Stands Above the Law
Amazingly enough, in all but two states – Vermont and Maine – a person who has been convicted of a felony cannot vote. This means that in most states of the Union Trump cannot vote, but he can run for the Presidency. Is that not insane? It makes no sense at all. It is just …
Border Control
If Kamala Harris becomes President of the United States, and hopefully she will, one of the first issues she will have to deal with is the border. The probability is that the border should be closed and illegal immigrants should not be afforded housing, food, and health care while veterans and normal citizens are living …
