On Sunday, August 10th, hundreds of friends and families from across the communities surrounding Alley Pond Park came together for a joyful day of food, fun, and fellowship at our Family Fun Day BBQ. It was a true celebration of summer and patriotism, with delicious food, exciting games, drone flying, dazzling magic, inspiring speakers, and the electric sounds of DJ Jimmy James. The highlight of the day was welcoming New York City’s next Mayor, Curtis Sliwa, who energized the crowd with his message of hope for our city.

This wonderful event would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors and food donors. We extend our heartfelt thanks to each of you for your contributions, which made this day such a great success. Your partnership helps us bring our community together, celebrate our values, and look forward to an even brighter future.

It is a borough that has faced challenges, yet has consistently risen to meet them with strength and determination. Today, as I stand before you as a candidate for Queens Borough President, I am filled with hope and conviction for a brighter future for all of us.

How Can Dragon Dance and Survive Alone Without an Eagle in the Trade Club?

In the last week of April, when US President Donald J Trump claimed to have spoken to Chinese Premier Xi many times during the tug of trade war, the Media portrayed it as either a blatant misrepresentation or a result of confusion.

At that moment, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has rightfully downplayed these assertions, pointing out that the White House does indeed have options for tariff off-ramps. Such obfuscation will likely alienate Beijing, which has explicitly denied any on-going discussions. Nonetheless, China is proactively pursuing diplomatic avenues, including a recent delegation visit to Washington and discreet communications with U.S. think tanks for insights into the dynamics within Trump’s administration. Chinese state media emphasize unwavering resilience and a commitment to existing trade rules, with commentary invoking Mao Zedong to contextualize the on-going trade conflict.
