Turning down grants

Williamsport got it wrong. While ARLE grant projects can be worthwhile, no municipality should accept the money, since it came from red-light cameras(which should be banned in PA.) If we had best-practice engineering and enforcement, then practically nobody would ever “run” a light. Most people do not “run” a light on purpose. Taking money from these grants sends the message that all this is OK. Please note that the Philly Inquirer ran a story in 2017 saying that some of these cams had accuracy rates of 3%. It was reported multiple times that crashes went UP in Philly at ...

World on the brink

The man who claims to be the “Peace President” is running a bizarre campaign to capture the Nobel Peace Prize. He is responsible for the killing of over 163 people by ordering the sinking of over 40 boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific that he claims, without evidence, were smuggling drugs. He ordered the invasion of a sovereign nation to kidnap of the leader of Venezuela. The eight wars he claims to have ended are still causing death and destruction in spite of his so-called ceasefires. Ukraine and Gaza are still suffering because ceasefires are NOT peace treaties, so the ...

Race with China

Are we really in an AI data center race? We are repeatedly told that the United States must rapidly expand data centers to avoid falling behind China in artificial intelligence. This claim is often presented as fact, yet the underlying numbers suggest a very different reality. The United States already operates roughly 5,400 data centers—more than half of the global total. China, by comparison, has fewer than 500. Even Germany and the United Kingdom each host more data centers than China. If this is truly an infrastructure race, the U.S. is not trailing—it is dominating. If ...

The challenge from God

The upright exalt a city but by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down. Proverbs 11:11 Responding to the rebuttal, (‘The Humanity of all of us,’ 2/17/26) of my letter: ‘The Finger of God,’ January 12, 2026. It is imperative to understand our Founders and history. We must search verifiable facts, with originally sourced material. The minds of millions have been darkened by revisionism. The historical definition of, America being a Christian Nation is: Christianity shaped and molded America, Because America is founded upon Christian principles. We were declared a Christian ...

Selective war on fraud

President Trump recently launched a war on fraud, directing federal agencies to crack down on improper payments. He named VP Vance—dubbed the “Fraud Czar”—to lead a task force, claiming the recovered funds would be “country-changing,” lowering the deficit and taxes. We aren’t fooled. Trump only cares about fraud when it’s committed by people he doesn’t like or don’t benefit him. As the NYT reported, he has granted clemency to more than 70 allies, donors and associates convicted in fraud cases, wiping away more than $700 million in restitution and fines. The pace ...

Tell all of it

In responding to Verna Caruso’s column, she stated that Trump violated the Constitution. Did she ever take into consideration that it was her socialist party who opened our borders, causing a massive invasion in our country? It was the worse violation of our Constitution in the history of the United States. It was her part that had the FBI spy on 400 Americans without a warrant. Another violation! It was the politicized judges that try to block Trump’s every move. Why? Trump is using those tariffs as a bargaining chip to make all countries, including our allies, to lower their ...
