Why Didn’t Senator Gounardes Implore President Biden to Bring Americans Home from Afghanistan?
Governors and United States State Senators sent letters to President Biden.
Gounardes and other NY State Senators sent the president a letter saying that NY will take refugees from Afghanistan. (See here and here)
But many Americans are still in Afghanistan and can’t get home. Some are writing very dismal things on social media because they are afraid to be killed by the Taliban. We know that some of the people in Afghanistan are from New Yorkers. If you were in Afghanistan and you knew a NYS representative was asking for refugees and not you, how would you feel?
It’s always about the press releases, rather than actually helping people from the area.

Ludin Lopez is a Hero – Transit Police Officer
NYPD cops help New Yorkers at any cost!

When a sick strap hanger lost consciousness and fell on the subway tracks in the Bronx, @NYPDTransit officers didn’t hesitate for a moment to put his safety ahead of their own. We’re also grateful to the Good Samaritan who bravely helped. pic.twitter.com/m0kmylDUJJ
— NYPD NEWS (@NYPDnews) August 19, 2021

Transit Police Officer, Ludin Lopez went into the tracks and brought a 60-year-old man who had a seizure to safety. Another kind NY’er also jumped into the tracks to help (no one knows his name). (See Story)
In the paper, Officer Lopez was very modest and said he was in the right place at the right time. (See here) He is a true hero!
The other officers used their flashlights to signal the conductor of the oncoming train not to come into the station. (Watch the video above)

Congresswoman Malliotakis Helps Constituents Out of Afghanistan
Afghanistan fell to the Taliban, but 10,000 – 15,000 Americans are stuck there. (Source) The US was able to move some people by plane.
Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis offered assistance for her constituents. Today, she announced that she was able to successful get a family evacuated.
This is great news!
Malliotakis explained how they will be brought back to America soon:
How scary it must be for people to be stuck overseas with the Taliban. People have called on the President to keep the US embassy open in Afghanistan. The embassy staff in Kabul was evacuated quickly when the Taliban entered. Now they are tweeting. (See here)

Max Rose Will Be on Bill Maher on 8/20
Former Congressman Max Rose announced that he will be on Bill Maher’s show on Friday August 20, 2021 on HBO at 10:00 pm.
Rose will probably be speaking from a military perspective on Afghanistan as he tweeted about that this week. (See here)
Rose spoke on a show and supported the move in Afghanistan. I think he will have a hard time running in NY 11 because people KNOW the US should have taken Americans out of Afghanistan before this happened. Why are so many Americans stuck there now?
Malliotakis hasn’t missed a beat on this:

Christian Santo Remembered
Christian Santo was a 27-year-old man who died of heart failure on August 17, 2020 in Bay Ridge.
How does God let this happen to a beautiful young man and his family? Asking that question shows our human-side. God chooses those who are ready to go home to Heaven. This young man was kind and good. That’s why God wanted him early.
In his pictures, he’s radiant.
Christian attended Poly Prep, Xaverian High School (see here) and St. Thomas Aquinas College.
Christian’s baseball number was 9. The Brooklyn Tides team all became #9 in Christian’s memory (see here) – so sweet!
I saw some people wrote about the Cyclones – Section 11 – Seat 9 being named in honor of Christian.
This was on Twitter:
#TBT to Marianne and I at the @BKCyclones game & seat dedication in honor of
CHRISTIAN J. SANTO #9

We were honored to be there to celebrate his life with friends and family last week.#milb #Brooklyn #Cyclones pic.twitter.com/KMhPgMzgqN
— Arthur Aidala Esq (@ArthurAidala) August 19, 2021

Christian’s family is keeping their son’s name and spirit alive. They added something special to Shore Road. (See here)
They also started the Christian Santo Baseball Scholarship to be a blessing for students at St. Thomas Aquinas. (See here)
His parents are doing a good job bringing light into the world during the hardest season of their life. Children aren’t supposed to die before thier parents. ** Please Remember Them In Your Prayers, if you are the praying type. **

RIP Gary Gilroy
So sad to hear that Gary Gilroy had passed away on August 17th. I had heard he wasn’t doing well.
I first met Gary when I was looking for a house in Bay Ridge years ago. He was super nice, upbeat and helpful. Although we didn’t find our home with him, he always knew me when I saw him (we both have alliterative names).
When I first saw Gary singing in the area, he was part of the Piranha Brothers. Over the years, I have seen him sing and play guitar with different people/bands in bars, the 3rd Avenue Festival and other places too (even in Breezy). He had a great voice, loved singing and making other people happy. He was loved by the audience and had a lot of friends/fans in Bay Ridge!
I imagine he’s met up with some other Bay Ridge greats and is playing and singing in heaven. Gone way too soon. *Prayers for Gary’s wife and family.*
RIP Gary.
Obituary and service at Clavin info
A mass for Gary is at OLA on Friday morning. They are also having the mass online here.
At Salty Dog, a song that Gary loved to sing was played in his honor.

Gary Gilroy was remembered by his friends at The Canny Brothers Summer Concert – see here. Gary sometimes played with the Canny Brothers.
