NYC council makes Nancy Pelosi look like Ronald Reagan, they are so far left they are in the outer reaches of space. A few years ago they honored Soviet spy Ethel Rosenberg for “great bravery”....

"We commend you for recognizing that Oscar López Rivera represents the voice, tenacity and resolve of Puerto Rico and its people," the letter read.

We commend you for honoring a man responsible for the murder of both Americans and Puerto Ricans alike. This man was did not practice discrimination in his choices of whom he would murder. He practiced diversity in his choice of murder victims.

Goya is a solid corporate citizen.

The Yankees are still participating in the parade though.

“If it’s Goya, it has to be good.” It was the motto for Goya Foods for a few generations, and may still be today.
