To the Community:
Oct. 7, 2020: I wish to reply to the letter in today’s edition entitled “Getting the Vote Out for Biden”.
Basically, there are NO good reasons – only partisan political ones - to vote for Joe Biden. His flaws in leadership, character, and politics are numerous, and I won’t bother to list them here.
On the other hand, there are many GOOD reasons to vote for our current successful president, Donald J. Trump, based on his outstanding record.
Trump has accomplished more in 47 months in office - despite relentless pressure and distractions from the left (i.e., Russian / Ukraine Collusion Delusions, Impeachment Hoax, adverse/unfair national media, etc.) - than Biden has accomplished in 47 years in politics.
Below is a partial list of those GOOD reasons to vote for Trump:
Trump has:
a. Created the greatest period of economic prosperity in our history, including an unprecedented decline in black and Hispanic unemployment.
b. Defended the US Constitution by appointing more originalist federal judges than any previous president. Once the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett is approved in the Senate, this will include more Supreme Court Justices than any previous president.
c. Greatly improved our Armed Forces and the well-being of Veterans and created a new Space Force.
d. Reduced the corporate tax rate and brought jobs back to our country.
e. Reduced the individual tax rate, greatly improving the wages and net worth of the lower level of wage earners.
f. Created a fair trade treaty with Canada and Mexico to replace the unpopular NAFTA.
g. Withdrew the US from the dangerous Iran Nuke deal.
h. Put enormous economic pressure on China, in response to their many years of unfair trade practices and theft of our intellectual property.
i. Appointed highly qualified cabinet members (incl. Pompeo, Barr, Mnuchin, etc.).
j. Assisted state governors, including in “Blue” states in combatting the Covid-19 epidemic, and earned high praise from those governors (such as Cuomo, Murphy, and others).
k. Kept the US out of foreign wars, promoted peace in the Middle East, and been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize as a result.
l. Defended our borders against terrorism and illegal immigration, and spoken out loudly against sanctuary cities/states.
m. Put AMERICA FIRST in all cases, international and domestic.
In short, Trump has proven himself to be a DOER, and yes, a WINNER who fights for the American People. He richly deserves to be re-elected.
Sincerely,
Jim Tubridy

Editor's note: MyhometownBronxville does not fact-check statements in letters to the editor, and the opinions do not necessarily reflect the thinking of its staff. Its objective in publishing letters to the editor is to give air to diverse thoughts and opinions of residents in the community.
Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
