Bayonne: On Dec. 7, 1941, The Japanese Imperial Navy launched more than 300 aircraft in their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Many of the ships anchored there were bombed and torpedoed. More than 2,400 Americans died that day. All eight of the nation’s battleships were either sunk or badly damaged.
Manhattan: Kudos to Mayor Adams for issuing a new directive to remove mentally ill and homeless people from the streets of NYC. Homeless and mentally ill people may deserve a roof over their heads and basic services, but they don’t own the streets and other public spaces that we all depend on to accomplish the basic tasks necessary to maintain the quality of our daily lives.
