The Real Story of Christmas, by Sandy Cortez …

December 28, 2023 Ray Cardello

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez released her Christmas message, and she would have been better served to sit this one out.

December 15, 2023 Ray Cardello

I have wonderful, fond childhood memories of Christmastime in Boston. It was a magical place in the 60s. Driving along the city streets was a kaleidoscope of lights and colors, as was the Boston Common.
