Geraldo Rivera: So Sorry for the Loss of Your Older Brother Willie

Geraldo Rivera, brilliant news talk show host, told us today about the loss of his older brother, Willie.

Geraldo's show on WABC New York Radio 77 from 10 to 12 every week day morning........Geraldo always, always, always has compassion for his guests if he agrees or disagrees with their views--always lets them talk and say their opinion.

Willie passed away this morning from a long fight with heart disease and cancer.

So sorry for your loss, Geraldo, and also to your family and your 95 year old mom--to your radio family, too--may Jesus be with all of you on this sad day.

Appreciate your compassion and interest in people, Geraldo, and the ronnie republic would like to extend our thoughts to you at this sad time.

Noam Laden always does a good job anchoring the radio microphone when the host is not there but the he was later joined by Curtis Sliwa who is usually joined by Ron Kuby for their own show at noon.

Curtis and Noam continued the conversation started be Geraldo before he left a little early today to join his family.  They talked about the police issues in New York City concerning the mayor, the police commissioner  and the issues of safety concerning the citizens and the officers, themselves.

WABC is lucky to have Geraldo Rivera in its stable of news talk show hosts.  He runs an excellent show......always listening to the radio, Geraldo has the ability to run an interesting show, inform the listeners, tell the people the important international and national news of the day and let the people talk.....this is highly unusual in talk radio today.  Geraldo is not afraid of ideas different from his own--Republican or Democrat.

Thanks, Geraldo, for consistently doing a good job and caring about people and their trials and tribulations.

Prayers and thoughts with you on this very hard day.

Hotel Miami in Rome: Good Deal Good Price Good Breakfast

Hotel – 
Via Nazionale 230, Rome, Italy


Stayed at this place in Rome, Italy.........

The location was perfect for getting around in Rome and seeing the sights.

Really liked the reasonable price but what we particularly enjoyed was the breakfast.

A huge selection of cereals and fruits and cold cuts including a delicious selection of cheese.

We would definitely stay there again.

Yes, it was very fun to look out of the very tall, very well traditionally decorated windows onto Via  Nazionale.  Plenty of restaurants..all within a good price range and walking distance...and the food....deliciously unforgettable.

Reasonably priced leather jackets to die for less than a block away.

Yes..we would stay there again and recommend it highly.


Why did we stay there....price, location and recommended on trip advisor.



Hotel Miami




Rome is very fun and easy....this hotel is also within a few blocks walking distance from the drop off location at the central train station of the airport bus.

The best thing about Rome--plenty of extraordinary food, close by and inexpensive.

Desert Donuts Phoenix: Seriously The Best Donuts I Have Ever Had In My Life!





Actually, cruising through Phoenix on a recent road trip stopping for gas could not resist the donut sign in the morning........

Oh, my gosh...what a lucky find.

Each doughnut is baked fresh.....

As in, while you are standing there watching the donut is cooked right before your eyes.


All cake donuts.......you pick the topping and it is applied.

Count on the flavor knocking you down.

In my book doghnuts are always good, especially fresh from the local donut shop but these things are from a different world.......the freshness and the flavor....like eating a cake right out of the oven.


Recommending the Bavarian Cream without any hesitations......

A cake donut......chocolate icing and Bavarian Cream filling.

It was so good I could not even get it to the car to eat it....you know the aroma of fresh cake baking...right!


Just north of Phoenix on route 17.....take Carefree Drive and it is just behind the Chevron and the McDonald's in the Albertson's parking lot.

Let me know what you think.....I guarantee a magnificent taste experience.

Desert Donuts is a family owned and operated donut & coffee shop in Northern Phoenix, AZ.  We opened our doors in July of 2013 and haven't looked back.  To compliment our fresh made donuts we also offer locally roasted coffee's, espresso based drinks, and iced drinks.  We always have a few different coffee flavors to choose from and each pot is freshly ground right before it is brewed.
