Good luck

Hey you—yes you. . . I’m challenging you. This challenge is on past learning and of course what you have seen on TV and in the movies. Here goes, it’s between what you know about the Roman empire and the U.S. Let’s refresh the Roman Empire. TV and the movies gave examples of the homes and life style of the living; and the Colosseum; if one had experienced of putting one’s body next to or inside, it’s huge. Make a comparison of your TV to the Colosseum. Probably you know of the gladiators and the Christians. Why did the gladiators become the army? How did they get there? ...

Asleep at the switch

Drones, drones and more drones and NO answers from the inert Biden Administration! Who’s Air Space are these drones invading and why does Biden let it continue? We have given Israel the Iron Dome Air Defense system and they routinely shoot down 50 to 100 drones daily at U.S. Taxpayer Expense! Why do we not have any way to shoot down 40 or 50 over New Jersey?

He criticized the Biden administration’s actions in getting the Department of Labor to finalize a rule that increased the threshold for overtime pay to salaried employees, claiming it will burden businesses and employers throughout Pennsylvania. He then applauded a U.S. District Court decision against the rule, arguing that current law offers “benefits to lower-level employees, and that any significant changes to these standards should be reviewed and ...

The trauma of one separated child

The estimated number of children who would be separated from their parents if the Trump Administration successfully carries out a mass deportation of 12 million illegal immigrants is between 3 million and 5 million children. To paraphrase an old saying: The suffering of many children is just a number; the suffering of one child is heartbreaking. Think of one innocent little child you know. Your child. Your grandchild. A relative’s or friend’s child. Say her name out loud. Close your eyes and imagine her being forcibly torn from her Mom and Dad and siblings… forever. Forced family ...
