Letter From Brooklyn                                  




By Michael Headley                        
George Santos


What's all the Hullabaloo about Long Island Rep-elect George Santos not being allowed to be seated in congress, to represent Long Island and Queens 3rd District! (NY Post 12/22, 'But I can be a great Congressman').

So, what if he lied about where he attended College -later admitted that he never graduated, worked for Wall Street firms, poorly stated that he was vice president of a company, his Jewish heritage and his sexual orientation?

He didn't plagiarize his College class work nor said that he had graduated at the top of his law class, said that the Southern border was closed as record number of illegal immigrants daily surge it, and enter the USA -don't trust your lying eyes, verified that the Steele Dossier was factual in order to get a FISA warrant, tampered or destroyed thousands of emails- even acid wash servers, said that he had proof of Russian collusion that led to the Muller report, lied to the FBI or not revealing, the hearsay whistleblower, who led to a presidential  impeachment,  didn't tell congress that Twitter wasn't censoring conservative voices nor that initially, masks were not necessary to protect oneself from COVID-19, etcetera.

In today's world, regrettably, Santos' behavior seems to have matched all the qualifications for advancement to higher office.  His behavior is therefore a mere "tempest in a teapot"

The Mahogany Coconut Group submits that the real vote buying is in the upper echelons of our society. What we witnessed on Election Day was some voters getting   cash, cell phones, IPods and a bill paid here and there. The real votes were bought by those shadows- black and white, - who Dr. Don Blackman referred to a few decades ago! Of course Dr. Blackman talked only about white shadows but the corporate landscape has dramatically changed over the years – we now have shadows of all colors and ethnicities. While we shout from the roof tops about what took place on elections day, we bury our heads in the proverbial sand, by refusing to ask one simple question: How did the two political parties, both claiming to be rather financially impoverished, raise a conservative estimate of over twenty million dollars to pour into a three week campaign? We ask Dale Marshall (BLP) to tell us about the successful “cake sales and car washes” that raised their money. We ask Ronald Jones (DLP) to t

One Caribbean Nation As we celebrate International Womens’ Day, we are cognizant of the role our Caribbean women have played in the cultural social and economic growth of our region and evolving Caribbean civilization. They , like our men , have risen from the depths and decadence of slavery , to the highest political and corporate ladders in the region. They have given birth, to millions and have made and continue to make significant contributions to those in the Diaspora. In many cases, where they were not the biological mothers, they nurtured, cared and developed those , who were deprived of parenthood , and socio-economic hope. They are in our classrooms, directing young and fragile minds , how to navigate a world that we in the region , must forever avoid being dragged into conflicts of the so-called super powers. They are pursuing all the opportunities of our tertiary educational institutions, including the University of the West Undies, often in higher numbers than our men. I
