Not a Christian nation

I am compelled, once again, to correct to Mr. Adams’s false claims that we have been a ‘Christian’ nation since our founding. There is nowhere in our founding documents where Christianity is mentioned, let alone set above any and all other religions. In fact, many of the Founding Fathers were followers of Deism, which focused on reason and ethics rather than traditional religious dogmas. They were very clear, in the First Amendment to the Constitution, to clarify that religion and government are, and should be, separate entities and all people should be free to worship as their ...

President vanquishes truth

So much winning! The events of the last few weeks should have left every American, MAGA or not, wondering how much longer this great nation can continue to function under the cripplingly stupid and intensely corrupt hold of the Trump regime. The President of the United States has been throughout his five-plus years in the Oval, a world-class liar and supreme narcissist who could care less about the success of the America he ostensibly leads. For months, economists had warned the public that Trump’s tariffs would not be paid by foreign governments, as Trump swore to be the case, but ...

Skills or slots?

You would see in fact that they donated more then without skill machines. Profits from skill machines are not ...

Odd

Isn’t it odd the Congressional Democrats now want to have term limits on the US Supreme Court members but no term limits on themselves? Hypocrisy! BOB PRYOR Mifflin Township Submitted by email

Amused or appalled?

As a non-resident of Muncy Township, not really having a dog in the fight, I have tried to follow the dark comedy which the supervisors meetings have become. It would be great entertainment if it wasn’t so sad. One has to wonder why someone is not calling for an investigation by the Pennsylvania State Attorney Generals Office. MICHAEL P.

Clock keeps ticking

In Manhattan, on a wall not far from Times Square, the debt clock ticks higher and higher. After climbing for so many years with no obvious economic fallout, it’s easy to ignore. Indeed, the clock was moved from its location on a busy street corner to a quiet passageway. The reality is that we really don’t have a “debt ceiling.” It’s a political creation with no fundamental economic meaning. No other country has one. But we do need a political solution, and many politicians have been concerned about our growing debt for a long time. They thought they had found the right ...
