A greater mission: Army vet’s career exceeds expectations

As big as New York City is, with its huge population and layers of culture, it wasn’t enough to contain Felix Figueroa. As a very young man he had a sense there was something beyond the boroughs of the Big Apple awaiting him. “What got me off of the couch and into the recruiters office,” Figueroa said, was a desire to explore life beyond “the surroundings of the city. I needed to get out of there.” The Army was a tradition in his family. His father was a Korean War-era veteran, his uncle Tony did two tours of duty with the Army during the Vietnam War and his brother, Edwin Robles, also served in that branch of the Armed Forces. It was Figueroa’s hope that the Army could transform his life with a career that would produce “something greater than myself, a greater mission.” Figueroa enlisted in the Army in December 1997, and described his career journey traversed “an unconventional path defined by adaptability and a willingness to take on new challenges.” During his 23 years of active duty, Figueroa, who resides in Dunkirk with his wife, Damaris, jumped at and into a plethora of opportunities that emerged along the

NYC councilman pulls support from Mamdani-backed Amazon delivery bill due to potential job loss

A Democratic New York City Councilman quietly withdrew his support from the controversial, Mayor Zohran Mamdani-backed Delivery Protection Act aimed at cracking down on Amazon’s employment practices for “last-mile” delivery drivers — saying the legislation would lead to thousands of lost jobs, The Post has learned. Councilman Phil Wong of Queens recently removed his name as co-sponsor of the bill after meeting with small business owners who told him it would force them to shutter and lay off their employees. “I’ve been talking to many of the small businesses,” the pol, whose district covers Maspeth, Middle Village and other parts of Queens, told The Post on Monday. “If this bill gets passed, it will close a lot of them and that’s bad for my district.” NYC Councilman Phil Wong recently withdrew his support for the Delivery Protection Act. William Farrington for NY Post The councilman signed on as a co-sponsor of the bill when his far-left Queens colleague Tiffany Cabán introduced it in 2025. The legislation aims to end Amazon’s reliance on subcontractors by requiring the e-tail giant to get licenses for its 15 last-mile facilities in the city and hire delivery workers as full-timers.

Socialist mayors to lead LA, D.C., NYC, Seattle as Trump warns of ‘disaster’

(The Center Square) – Democratic Socialists will now lead America’s two most populous cities and the nation’s capital, raising questions over the Democratic Socialist of America platform. More than 14 million people will live under the leadership of Democratic Socialist mayors in a handful of American cities. Nithya Raman was elected mayor of Los Angeles and Janeese Lewis George was elected to lead Washington, D.C. in Tuesday’s elections, both mayor-elects are Democratic Socialists. Upon being sworn in, Raman and Lewis George will join New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson in leading major metropolises, leading critics to be concerned about how their socialist agendas will impact the cities they lead.
