The most unlikely candidate for president, President-Elect Donald J. Trump, has achieved a monumental upset against Hillary Clinton. He now has won the most powerful position in the world. And added to the fact he never ran for public office before. Yet he has done so because of his love for the America and the American people. President-Elect Donald Trump ran for the highest office in the nation because he believes America could do better for the hard working people who he believed were forgotten. Hillary Clinton lost in part because she ran against a man who had a greater vision and a dream for all Americans. Now is the time to unite America, regardless of what divides us with so many problems that need to be addressed. I believe President-Elect Donald J. Trump is the personification of his slogan which is,” Make American Great Again.” That is because he has a dream that he believes can be achieved. In closing let me wish President-Elect Trump success, for “We the people are counting on you!”

Moses Maimonides
We believe one person’s actions can make a difference. Moses Maimonides, a preeminent medieval Jewish philosopher, said it best: “Each person should see himself as though the entire world is on a delicate balance, and with one deed, he or she can tip the scales.” Although some of us may feel we are too tiny and insignificant to change the world, there is something we can all do to make a real difference: vote and encourage others to do the same!
Voting matters. Some elections have been decided by just a handful of votes. Republican David Storobin won a special election for State Senate in Brooklyn a few years ago by a mere 13 votes. The Father of the Constitution, James Madison believed that voting matters and helped establish the first political party, the Republicans, although it had no relation to the modern GOP established in 1854. In fact, he said it is so crucial, that “the government equilibrium of power would face collapse” without “an informed and engaged electorate.” Madison believed that all power in America ultimately resides with the people.

The history behind the homeless in New York City is rich in tradition dating back before the days when Hell’s Kitchen was booming and we were deep in the politics of Tammany Hall. Oh, those were the days and the Irish immigrants occupied many of those spaces. As the years progressed one ethnic group after the next climbed the social ladder out of those quarters and moved on up.
Video: Roy Fox, guest speaker at Columbus Day DinnerOur October Club Meeting was a dinner meeting in honor of Columbus Day. We were entertained and inspired by guest speaker, Roy Fox, a former radio host, and currently lecturer at the Rufus King Mansion Museum in downtown Jamaica. Mr. Fox is an expert on the life of Rufus King who not only was a signer of the U.S. Constitution, but was an ardent foe of slavery in America. Here is the video of his outstanding speech.

There is a battle raging for the soul of America and it’s taking the form of a peaceful revolution at the ballot box on November 8th. Either you’re voting for Donald Trump, our Republican candidates, and real hope for the future of America, or you’re voting for four more years of Obama’s radical agenda to destroy America, under a Crooked Hillary presidency.
