New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Chauncey Parker today announced the launch of a comprehensive new pilot program to address historically high rates of violent crime and disorder on specific blocks all across New York City. “Every Block Counts” is a data-driven multi-agency initiative that focuses on blocks that have historically seen high levels of shooting incidents, crime, and quality-of-life issues. Chosen blocks are provided intensive support and resources in an effort to reduce crime and restore lasting safety and livability. The pilot program launched in October 2024, where multiple agencies are working together to create a safer, cleaner, more livable environment for residents based on each block’s immediate needs.
“Every New Yorker deserves to live in a neighborhood that is safe, where the streets and sidewalks are clean and well-lit, where street signs are clear and easy to read, and where you are safe from gun violence and other crime — and have a good quality of life. ‘Every Block Counts’ is our latest initiative to do all that by increasing cooperation between city agencies and ensuring that our city works better for everyone,” said Mayor Adams. “We came into office with a clear mission: to make New York a safer, more affordable city for every New Yorker, and we will not rest until we have accomplished that mission — block by block, street by street, with every agency giving their all for the people of New York City.”

On Thursday, December 5, 2024, the Kate Oh Gallery in Manhattan’s Upper East Side buzzed with excitement as art lovers, models, performers, and all the glitz and glamour that New York City has to offer gathered for the opening night of Marko Stout: A Bold Art Exhibit. From the moment the doors opened, the atmosphere was electric. The crowd outside was so large that the event began earlier than planned, and for over three hours, the gallery was packed wall-to-wall with eager attendees.
Marko Stout, often described as an Art World Superstar, Modern Art Rockstar, and Bold Visionary, certainly lived up to his reputation. The crowd’s enthusiasm was palpable, and it was clear from the outset that this was no ordinary art event. Stout’s work, a striking fusion of color, provocation, and contemporary edge, exuded the same dynamic energy that defined the evening itself. Some critics have even likened his style to the bold pop art energy of Andy Warhol – and from the looks of the opening, that comparison certainly rang true.
Stout’s modern contemporary pieces are colorful, provocative, and deeply engaging, inviting viewers to explore the intersection…

You should know that in one of his first public appearances, after having resigned as Governor for New York State, Andrew Cuomo will be visiting the South Bronx. His visit to the Bronx is to meet with Members of “The New York Hispanic Clergy Organization”, which I preside over.
As you know, last summer Governor Cuomo resigned, when he was accused and practically abandoned by all his friends, politicians, and community groups, whom he had helped in the past. These so-called friends, and groups that were all too happy to kiss his ring, joined the “cancel culture” environment, that plaques us all, without due process, they washed their hands with a dismissive attitude, sending the message “Crucify him, crucify him”.
Several courts and judges have dismissed the allegations of “sexual harassment” against Governor Cuomo. With this episode behind him, Governor Cuomo has begun to visit and make public appearances by visiting different faith-based organizations and community groups.
It is very important for you to know that Governor Cuomo’s first public visit was to “God’s Battalion of Prayer Temple” in East Flatbush, Brooklyn on Sunday March 06, 2022. His next planned visit is to the “New York Hispanic Clergy Organization” in the South Bronx.
You should also know that in a recent poll, Governor Cuomo, without being a candidate nor having announced his political aspirations, has polled with just four (4) points behind Governor Kathy Hochul.
As you know, Governor Hochul was a friend and she was handpicked by Cuomo to be his Lieutenant Governor. However, she was among one of the first to throw him under the bus, in the midst of the allegations, launched against him.
I imagine that those four (4) points will evaporate very soon and Governor Hochul will have to consider asking Governor Cuomo for his support, if she wishes to be officially elected by the people to the governorship.
As President of the “New York Hispanic Clergy Organization”, I am looking forward to hosting Governor Cuomo on Thursday, March 17, 2022. We welcome him to the South…

The New York Jets season has been a rollercoaster, to say the least. After starting with dreams of a Super Bowl run, their odds have plummeted to +100000, leaving even the most loyal fans scratching their heads. Mid-November’s heartbreaking 28-27 loss to the Colts showcased flashes of brilliance—Aaron Rodgers was sharp, Breece Hall was dynamic—but mistakes and inconsistency continue to haunt them.
Can this team still turn things around and salvage their playoff hopes? Let us dig in.
The Struggle to Find Consistency
Every Jets fan knows the feeling—you start the season with sky-high hopes, only for the weeks to chip away at your confidence. Right now, that’s exactly where the Jets stand. After opening the season brimming with potential, they have been their own worst enemy, with inconsistency derailing their playoff ambitions.
The loss to the Colts on November 17 was a prime example. Aaron Rodgers showed why he’s considered one of the best, delivering two touchdowns with pinpoint accuracy and a 75.9% completion rate. Breece Hall was electric both on the ground and through the air, racking up a total of 121 yards and two touchdowns. Yet, even with standout performances like these, mistakes—whether it is blown coverage, penalties, or missed opportunities—have kept wins out of reach.
The glaring issue? The team’s inability to execute consistently. In one game, they are clicking on all cylinders; in the next, they are struggling to maintain momentum. If…
