Dumpster Fire

I think it is worthwhile to again recap the Trump/Vance campaign “strategy” for last week. On Monday, August 26, Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery, and proceeded to break all rules of decorum there, so much so that the U.S. Army actually issued a statement criticizing his behavior. To further insult that sacred space, Trump campaign advisor Chris La Civita called the people at Arlington “hacks.” On Wednesday, August 28, Trump reposted a overtly vulgar post from X directly referring to oral sex with a picture of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. Then on Friday, August 30, he announced that a ... by Staff Writer

Commitment to Unity

If you haven’t yet met John Avlon, candidate for Congress in New York’s 1st District, I encourage you to do so as soon as you can. Avlon’s name was new to me when he started his campaign for Congress to replace incumbent Nick LaLota. I don’t often watch CNN, so I didn’t know him in his role as a successful CNN anchor, an author, or a presidential historian. But, once I met John and watched his son jump into his arms with complete joy, I knew this man was a star as a father and as a future congressman. Since ... by Staff Writer

Tower Or No Tower

My mother told me today, “It’s too late.” Yes it is. This community that my ancestors helped to found is forever changed. Change is inevitable, but clear disregard for all that makes this place special, unforgivable [“A Fight Over a Cellphone Tower Has Created a Rift Among Sagaponack Village Residents,” 27east.com, August 28]. The isolation that so many feel, though I’m not sure who they are, will only grow. Being able to take accountability and extend past one’s self is difficult. Some have strength, some don’t. Long-term relationships are ended without a pause, with no questions asked. How can people ... by Staff Writer

Watch What They Do

Nick LaLota the letter writer is not Nick LaLota the congressman who casts votes in the House of Representatives — particularly as it relates to reproductive rights. On the same day that I read Mr. LaLota’s rebuttal to my letter deploring his abortion stance[“Partisan, Not Candid,” Letters, September 2], I took particular notice of this headline in The New York Times, “G.O.P. Distorts Records on Reproductive Issues.” Yes, that is exactly what the Republican Party is doing, and Mr. LaLota is no exception. Congressman LaLota is attempting to pass himself off as a “centrist” on abortion, but his voting record ... by Staff Writer

Choice Matters

As a supporter of a woman’s right to control her own body, I wonder why so many women do not support a woman’s right to have an abortion. If a woman is against choice because of her religion, she should also care about the well-being of all children who are born, for according to the Bible, should be with love, care and compassion. For example, this dictate means she should be in favor of gun control. We know that gun deaths are a leading cause of death among young children. It means that she should support free maternal health care ... by Staff Writer

Real Differences

While there has been much noise about the respective residences of the candidates in the 1st Congressional District [“LaLota and Avlon Trade Barbs on Residency,” 27east.com, August 21], not enough attention is focused on the issues that will impact the district and make this a critical election. Democrat John Avlon worked for Rudy Guiliani when he was mayor, and is a centrist. He supports protecting a women’s right to choose as a fundamental civil right, common sense reform to our immigration laws (without political grandstanding to avoid progress in an election or any other year), restoring the SALT deduction that ... by Staff Writer

The Question

The Question for Americans, September 2024: A puppet president found to have illegally and intentionally shared highly classified documents but deemed to be too feeble-minded to actually prosecute, doesn’t know what decade it is and spends half his time passed out on the beach. An anti-democracy, zero vote coup to install a new candidate, “strong woman” who can’t even make it through a fake and contrived interview without a man beside her to cover for her from exposing that she is a total imbecile. (Can someone remind “on day one!” Kamala that she is already in the White House?) The ... by Staff Writer

Summary Judgment

By the time this edition of The Press gets into our hands the debate between the candidates will have been aired and autopsied. If I may make a prediction, it is that Vice President Harris will continue to try and reinvent herself as a centrist Democrat whose best endorsement for her election is who she is not, Joe Biden. Even I can agree with that. But the charade begins here. Her entire career has been built on racial and gender qualifications. She is a Californian progressive and an environmental fanatic. Her parents were highly educated Marxists. Kamala Harris is a ... by Staff Writer
