While Lalota is eating pizza, your tax dollars are funding The White House’s new "arcade" website where users play ​1980s-style video games that block "the coming ‌horde" at the U.S.-Mexico border, fill Trump Accounts for children and pursue other priorities.

A distinct difference between Democrats and Republicans. One party plans for the future and one party doesn’t. It is why, here in Riverhead, preservation is sold out to developers.
And why voting to Vote Jerry Halpin is what we need to remember and share. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19JHPBGvg1/

Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul have announced a new $8.4 million initiative to create flood resiliency infrastructure across Queens by converting concrete roadway medians into green infrastructure “sponges” that can absorb excess stormwater and help prevent extreme flooding.

Kind hearts and good souls. Be brave and read to the end (spoiler alert, Bambi lives!). Yes, you may be moved to tears, but you may also be moved to the author’s goal to give a few hours here and there, to whatever means something to you; animals, children, feeding hunger.

Meeting someone one-on-one opens up the whole world

Truth.

Now this is something we can get behind...

Here’s today’s heads up. We have Congressman Nick LaLota posting pizza photos while Hegseth is risking our nat’l security to feed his ego. “To be clear, if any of the defense secretaries under Presidents Biden, Obama, or Bush had gotten this degree and range of pushback from top uniformed personnel, there would be immediate congressional hearings, calls for resignations, and talks of impeachment.” Read more about the chaos here:

Alex Horton and Tara Copp of the Washington Post reported on Sunday, August 30, that military leaders are warning Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that a plan to continue large-scale operations in Iran is unsustainable and is weakening their ability to protect U.S.

Our reply to the inane comment that “Democrats hate America”:

We could say Republicans hate America, given that they are either actively tearing it down or standing by silently (looking at you, Congressman Nick LaLota and company), as the rule of law is abandoned, the white house becomes a profit center, Supreme Court judges are bought and paid for, our Nat’l Parks are being ravaged, national social programs are decimated, our allies are being abandoned, our enemies courted and fawned over and the guy who said no wars, jumped in to one with a blindfold on.
But you just go right along, buying wholeheartedly into the ‘immigrants are the problem’ that you are being fed and lapping up. See how that keeps you all jacked up and hostile (and distracted) while they’re tearing the country out from under you? We do.

For most of us, there is no seeing the footage and not being horrified, heartbroken and angered that THIS is what our taxes fund. Puzzled and frustrated that ANYONE can see the footage and be all “yeah, that’s cool.” We need to find common ground that lead to open conversations to connect neighbor to neighbor.

And again. ANOTHER library event co-sponsored by our do nothing state senator. One more reason to support Chris Murray for NY State Senate, so we can have a NYS Senator actually creating policy to make LI life more affordable?
