The Caribbean American Presidential Vote

ANOTHER ONE TERM BLACK MAYOR IN NEW YORK CITY
Probably Mayor Eric Adams may not complete his first term due to his legal problems with the federal government. He is no Donald Trump who has a train load of lawyers.

If Adams is forced to resign, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, a Grenadian-American, will become mayor until a mayor is elected. Since there is a mayoral race in 2025, there’s a chance that there could be two mayoral elections in 2025. That’s up to Governor Kathy Hochul.

MR. SANTOS GOES TO WASHINGTON
That there should be such a profound distaste in some of us for deceptiveness and outright lying in public affairs may surprise a few (or is it more than a few?). Some of us may naively believe that an oath of office is still a sacrosanct thing and that those who would lead us must be held to a higher standard.
Honoring Mayor Eric Adams
“Finally, Mr. Mayor, as we celebrate Martin Luther King Day next month, Black History in February, and Women’s History in March, your Person of the Year Award is in tribute to “The Father of Black Journalism,” John B.
