Reignite the free American spirit of 1776

Manhattan: On the horizon is a most appropriate, albeit unofficial, celebration of the forthright spirit of America 250. On Oct. 17, good citizens who value now-embattled democratic ideals can band together nationwide to proclaim, “No kings!” Increasingly compelling numbers of people support the Presidential Greatness Project’s expert consensus that President Trump is the worst president in America’s history. By now, no lucid, decent person would ignore the stark evidence of this self-serving public enemy’s oppressive litany of lawless abuses and failures.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The corrupt Tea-rumplican Party, the uber-swampy MAGA GOP, is blatantly just as heinous as this destructive madman, all worthless misleaders. If not for these hypocrites’ complicity, this traitor and his ruinations would be long gone, duly removed and potentially imprisoned, especially after he engineered the domestic terrorism of the Jan. 6 insurrection. This modern GOP is Trump’s equally evil twin, the worst party in America’s history.

Minding these truths, the next opportunity to raise the Spirit of ’76 will be Election Day 2026. If every citizen honors their duty to vote to uphold democracy, yielding results too big to rig, “We the People” can defeat all the machinations the GOP will attempt, positively advancing toward restoring true-blue democracy, and ultimately, after steady reconstructive strides, the liberating jubilation of a resurrected America 253!

Manhattan: Shootings are at a record low in New York City. Yet, gunfire erupted in the Marble Hill neighborhood on Thursday afternoon, 10 blocks from my home. A driver was shot in the neck........
