If you haven’t seen THAT 2005 video of Assemblyman Jose Rivera playing Boyz in the Dominican ‘Hood with former Assemblyman Adam Clayton Powell IV, ogling young girls, discussing, um, anatomical firmness, “marihuana” and zooming in on some DR cutie’s culo, here it is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQE0kX3GZWA.

But the geriatric gigolo’s sexual joshing is tame compared to our discovery of more disgusting tapes by the video auteur.

While pretty shocking, we think voters deserve to know his involvement in a group where men, and yes, women, meet behind closed doors and practice bizarre, depraved and embarassing acts of degradation and self-abuse.

We’ll hopefully be shortly posting his R-rated tapes of those regular sessions in the state Assembly….

, founder of the Liberty Democratic Association and outgoing district leader in the 80th Assembly District, is miffed at Assemblyman Mark Gjonaj’s comments about “disenfranchised voters” in the district. Gjonaj made the comment in announcing he and Senator Jeff Klein are seeking members for their newly formed political club.

While Kenny was redistricted, and can’t run for reelection, he’s still a Liberty loyalist.

“I take exception with Mark saying the Liberty is not inclusive,” sayeth Kenny, citing a long list of club officers who are or have been Latino, Jewish, Irish and disabled.

And just to dig the knife in, Kenny called it “a fluke when Mark won because the people in the district didn’t like the predecessor (“Some girls just wanna have fun” Naomi (Snooki) Rivera).

As far as the club putting up a candidate for district leader, Kenny noted that he asked state committeeman

On a night dedicated to honoring the pioneering Puerto Ricans whose tireless work has set the standard for Hispanics, defining the image and perception of the Hispanic community in the United States, the Hispanic Information Telecommunications Network (HITN) held its second awards ceremony as part of Puerto Rican Heritage Month.

Puerto Rican and Hispanic Community members, elected officials, and special guests gathered at the Hunter College Center for Puerto Rican Studies auditorium to celebrate those pioneers whose careers have exemplified dedication and service to the community.

“We, Puerto Ricans, have been an integral part of various sectors in this country. And this year, our goal is to continue paying tribute to the contributions of Puerto Rican pioneers, acknowledging individuals whose historical impact have enriched society and their respective communities,” said Michael D. Nieves, President and CEO of HITN, in his opening speech.

The tribute included the presentation of a series of reports dedicated to each of the recognized individuals: Hon. José Rivera, Dr. Lourdes Ramos Rivas, Billy Ocasio, Ramón Figueroa Sorrentini & Irmgard Iglesias, and Olga Méndez (posthumous award). Although each honoree resides in a different city, they all share Puerto Rican roots. These videos will be integrated into the channel’s programming and digital platforms.

Attendees also enjoyed the social aspect of the event, featuring traditional music and hor d’oeuvres from the island’s cuisine. It was an opportunity for them to interact with the honorees as well.

This recognition of Puerto Rican pioneers during Puerto Rican Heritage Month has become an annual HITN-sponsored event to highlight the presence of the Hispanic community. Please click on the link below each honorees bio to see the video.

    HITN Honors Puerto Rican

     

    HITN marked the third installment of its Puerto Rican Heritage Series by celebrating the extraordinary achievements of Puerto Rican pioneers who have shaped society through leadership, resilience, and dedication.

    Community leaders, elected officials, and members of the Puerto Rican and Hispanic communities gathered at the Hunter College Center for Puerto Rican Studies to honor this year’s distinguished honorees: Vanessa Calderón-Rosado, Angel Luis Ortiz, Carmen E. Arroyo, Luis V. Gutiérrez, and the late Dolores ‘Lolita’ Lebrón.

    “Puerto Ricans have long been an integral part of this nation’s progress, contributing across every field imaginable,” said Michael D. Nieves, President and CEO of HITN. “This year, we honor the pioneers—those trailblazers who paved the way for us, who made a difference in everything from education and business to art, science, and fighting for justice. Their stories are a testament to resilience and strength, reminding us that our pioneers are made ofpura cepa. By teaching about them, we ensure that future generations have powerful role models to follow.”

    The evening featured the premiere of five short films, each capturing the honorees’ inspiring journeys. Following the screenings, Nieves presented commemorative plaques to each honoree—or, for Lebrón, a posthumous recognition accepted by a close collaborator.

    The Puerto Rican Heritage Series has become a hallmark of HITN’s programming during Puerto Rican Heritage Month, underscoring the network’s dedication to celebrating the contributions of the Puerto Rican community. By showcasing stories of perseverance and triumph, the series ensures that these legacies remain a vibrant part of the American narrative.

  • Fighting Asthma in our Communities

    Almost one in 13 school children suffers from asthma making it the leading serious chronic illness in children and the leading cause of hospitalizations for children under the age of 15. More than 4.8 million children nationwide suffer from asthma and more than 5,000 Americans die from the illness each year. It is estimated that asthmatic children lose 10 million school days each year.

    In the Bronx there were 10,135 hospital cases of asthma in children younger than 17 reported in 2002, at a rate of more than 902 per 100,000. That is comparing to an average rate of approximately 150 per 100,000 for the rest of the state.

    Poor children under the age of 4 are four times more likely to be hospitalized for asthma than children in high-income areas. Asthma is an illness that is far too common among our poorest citizens. New York City, especially children are almost twice as likely to be hospitalized as children nationwide.

    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), asthma’s impact on health, quality of life, and the economy are substantial. The CDC has also found that the rates of severe asthma continue to disproportionately affect poor and minority populations. For example African-Americans visit emergency departments, are hospitalized and die due to asthma at rates three times higher than rates for white Americans. Overall asthma rates in the United States have doubled since 1980.

    Health experts and school officials agree that to reduce the high absenteeism of children with chronic asthma that presently must leave school grounds for nebulizer treatments; this equipment must be present in schools and accessible for emergency treatments. These treatments last about 15 minutes but allow students to return to class immediately. Currently, students requiring nebulizers for required daily treatment of asthma attacks must be sent home
