Our greatest strength comes not from what we possess, but from what we believe; not from what we have, but from who we are.

National Sandwich Day is the perfect excuse to enjoy your favorite stacked creation, whether classic or inventive, placed between two slices of bread.

One of the questions Stephen Colbert asks his celebrity guests as part of his famous Colbert Questionert is ... What is your favorite sandwich?

What's yours?

For me it's a 'rare' cheeseburger with mozzarella cheese, lettuce, tomato, and caramelized onions if available. Yes, I know that's a big one, but you can cut it up and eat it slowly. I only indulge in this luxury once in a while, usually when I'm out.

FYI - I just checked google and a cheeseburger qualifies as a sandwich. As I don't like bread or other grain products, this is my only choice.

Like the layers of a sandwich - politics in New York City is stacked with competing interests - each slice pressed together in the heat of the 2025 mayoral race.

With voters weighing a mix of bold ideas, seasoned egos, and well-worn promises, the city's electorate is left to decide which combination best satisfies their appetite for change.

From progressive upstarts to seasoned power brokers, the city's political appetite is vast and unpredictable.

Candidates blend ideology, identity, and ambition into a complex recipe for control of the nation's largest city - a contest where every ingredient counts, and none can be taken for granted.

Unifying energies are running high in New York City after a weekend packed with celebration - from the spectacle of Friday's Village Halloween Parade to the roar of Sunday's New York City Marathon.

Perfect weather, and an extra hour of sleep due to the return to standard time, added to the city's charged, almost electric atmosphere. People paused to share their thoughts on many issues - knowing the results of Tuesday's election could reshape the city's future - their voices carrying the weight of hope, concern, and the desire for change.

Some New Yorkers have already participated in early voting, and with the crisp fall weather continuing, thousands more are expected to turn out tomorrow to decide on the city's future and its next mayor.

Democrat Zohan Mamdani remains in the lead, but critics argue that his lack of experience and limited connections within government and business could hinder his ability to deliver on campaign promises. Like many candidates, Mamdani has made bold commitments, but questions remain about how effectively he can translate them into action.

The simulation's objective is to create chaos for emotional value following the algorithm of its creation. The closer we get to closure - the more powerful these events will become both at home and in external environments.

Something shifted in the simulation last spring - when Cuomo held a clear lead and was widely regarded as the front-runner. Then, almost unexpectedly, Mamdani surged ahead - maintaining the lead ever since - thus reshaping the narrative of the 2025 mayoral race.

If you look at it from a simulation perspective - one has to wonder ... is this all part of the simulation's blueprint to bring forth a candidate who will create the most chaos in end times - just as it did with Trump in 2024?

Like any large city - or anything else in the simulation for that matter - there will always be issues and challenges especially in a city as vast as New York where more often than not there are never resolutions that satisfy everyone - adding to the chaos and anxiety faced by millions here every day.

Reality is broken - which ripples down into everything within its domain following suit. But of course you already know that - trying your best to navigate the 'sandwiched' layers of turmoil what manifest every day, while negotiating what comes next - and just how prepared you are for the final bite/byte.

Good look fellow New Yorkers and everyone else out there as the week begins.

Oh yes ... if you're wondering who I'm voting for - as previously blogged - Cuomo - though we all know that in a simulated reality its all preprogrammed.
