What other newspapers are saying: Stronger oversight of gambling needed

From professional sports to wars on the other side of the globe, online gambling has proven it can skew major events in dangerous ways. This industry is becoming a threat, and the United States should reign it in. Earlier this month, Emanuel Fabian of The Times of Israel reported on an Iranian missile strike. Shortly after, bettors pressured him to change details of the story, with some even making death threats. All that was apparently for the sake of a wager on Polymarket, an online platform that bills itself as a “prediction market.” The platform lets users buy and sell ...

Alive and well

Trump Derangement Syndrome is alive and well in Lycoming County. Ms. Caruso lays the blame for everything wrong in this country on Trump. Not once have I seen an editorial of hers regarding the millions and millions of illegal immigrants cross our border when Biden was president, or about the over 350,000 children missing.

Kings

Today is March 29th and I celebrate Vietnam Veterans Memorial Day along with King’s Day. Yesterday, March 28th, across our great country, demonstrations labeled “No Kings” were held. No Kings otherwise described as a symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome, a serious defect suffered by liberal Democrats, with unfortunately no obvious cure, other than, perhaps, common sense. I for one though, would be quite satisfied with a king rather than the do-nothing members of Congress, both Democrat and Republican, especially those of Democratic persuasion. President Trump, who I agree, is ...
