The Post's Eric Adams support: Letters to the Editor — Aug. 13, 2025
The Issue: The Post's editorial urging President Trump to endorse Mayor Adams for re-election. Wasn't it the New York Post that featured photos of Mayor Adams greeting busloads of illegal immigrants at Port Authority ('The Post says: Endorse Adams Apple,' Editorial, Aug. 8)? Have you already forgotten about the billions of dollars that taxpayers shelled out to house, feed and educate illegals? Advertisement Have you forgotten about all the corrupt politicians Adams surrounded himself with in his administration? One would think The Post would do the right thing for New Yorkers and instead ask President Trump to endorse Curtis Sliwa. Ruth Adler The Bronx Advertisement The Post's support for Eric Adams illustrates a lack of innovation. New York City is primed for a change, which requires the insights of Sliwa. Any other candidate inhabits a 'business as usual' mentality. Advertisement God willing, enough people will stop the madness and give Sliwa his due. Jonathan Kiddrane Queens I urge all New Yorkers to get behind Adams. Advertisement I believe that he cares about New York City and is well aware of the mistakes he has made in his first term. Above all else, he cares about the quality-of-life issues in all five boroughs. He does not want to brainwash us, seize property, close family businesses or make our neighborhoods less safe. Whether you live in Chinatown, Little Italy, Forest Hills, Harlem or elsewhere, Adams will advocate for you. Ken Karcinell Hewlett Adams is the greatest sleazeball since Jimmy Walker during the Roaring '20s. Yes, Andrew Cuomo is distasteful and Zohran Mamdani is over the moon, but going to bat for Adams indicates rabid insanity. Advertisement Doug Brin Brooklyn Has the New York Post lost its mind? How, for the love of God, could you ask President Trump to endorse Adams for re-election? Advertisement Adams has been a complete disaster since his first day in office. Cuomo and Mamdani — the despicable communist — are even worse. Sliwa is the only viable candidate with a chance to bring some semblance of sanity back to our once-great city. John Lucadamo Advertisement Westchester County While The Post raises legitimate questions about Cuomo's record, endorsing Adams overlooks how many of his policies resemble those of Mamdani and Cuomo. Trump would be wise to refrain from any endorsements to avoid involvement in the federal scrutiny the next mayor will likely face over a range of ludicrous campaign proposals. Michael Mulhall Advertisement Moseley, Va. The Issue: The possible cancellation of 'The Howard Stern Show' following a dropoff in listeners. Howard Stern lost his edge years ago when he suddenly went woke ('Bye bye booey: Staff coasting,' Aug. 10). For most of his career, he eschewed good taste and battled critics, going out of his way to be politically incorrect. The more outrageous he was, the funnier he got, and that earned him a tremendous following. But, as Howard's longtime fans know, he is driven by money. When Stern realized his brand of humor could get him canceled, he became a soft liberal. Bill Calvo Brooklyn This is not the old Howard Stern; he is kissing up to the targets, like the woke people he once hated. I have a better opinion of Stern staffers Gary Dell'Abate and Fred Norris than I do of Stern. He shouldn't be offered any extension of his show. The time to pull the plug is now.

Trade mission from Philippines to arrive in Jordan to strengthen economic ties
AMMAN: A delegation of 13 Philippine companies and senior officials will arrive in Jordan on Sunday as part of a business, trade, and investment mission aimed at deepening economic cooperation between the two nations. The mission, scheduled for Feb. 11-12 in Amman, will see the Philippine delegation engage with 39 Jordanian companies in efforts to boost bilateral trade and investment, the Jordan News Agency reported. Speaking at a joint press conference alongside Philippine Trade Commissioner Vichael Angelo Roaring from the Philippine Trade and Investment Center in Dubai, Wilfredo C. Santos, Philippine ambassador to Jordan, reaffirmed Manila's commitment to fostering stronger economic ties with Jordan. Santos said: 'The Philippines, as one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia, seeks to expand its global presence by forging strategic partnerships. Our robust sectors in food, agriculture, manufacturing, and creative industries align well with Jordan's strategic location, its safety and security as an oasis of peace in this region, and its investment-friendly environment.' The ambassador also highlighted that the delegation — which will include representatives from the Philippine Department of Agriculture, the Department of Trade and Industry, and the PTIC in Dubai — reflected the country's dedication to expanding its footprint in Jordan's market and building long-term partnerships with local businesses. He expressed confidence that the visit would serve as a 'springboard for elevated bilateral trade levels and facilitate meaningful business exchanges.' Santos also acknowledged Jordan's Filipino community, numbering around 48,000, praising their contributions and the care they received in the country. Roaring officially announced the launch of the Philippine Outbound Business Matching Mission to Jordan, describing it as a strategic initiative to strengthen trade relations and create new market opportunities for Filipino exporters in the Middle East. Roaring said: 'Jordan is a valued trading partner and a gateway for Filipino companies seeking regional expansion.' He added that the delegation would include Filipino exporters specializing in food, beverages, and personal care products. A key element of the visit will be a business-to-business matching session on Feb. 11, hosted by the Amman Chamber of Commerce, at which Filipino exporters will engage directly with Jordanian industry players to explore trade and investment opportunities. Roaring added: 'This mission is more than just trade: It is about building long-term partnerships and expanding business opportunities in Jordan and beyond. With the continued support of our partners, we look forward to turning discussions into concrete trade deals that benefit both our nations.'
