Freedom in Greenland

Most Greenlanders are descendants of Alaskan stock who migrated to Greenland a thousand years ago. In other words, Greenlanders are Native Americans or, as they’re now called, Inuits. And so what do their Danish masters think of these Native Americans? When Greenlanders visit Denmark, Danes scowl at them and sneeringly tell them to go home. These Nordic Europeans obviously don’t like Native Americans in “their” country. Meanwhile America has great fondness for Alaskans of all kinds. Therefore the Greenlanders should sell Greenland to America in the same way Russia sold Alaska to ...

Lawless

This country is definitely at a turning point; turning unfortunately in the wrong direction. The liberal lawlessness and lack of support for our brave and dedicated law enforcement personnel have gotten out of hand. Criminal assault and attempts to injure or kill our law enforcement officers has the support and consent of liberal mayors and governors. These attacks upon our dedicated public servants who are sworn to uphold the law and protect the safety of all regardless of political persuasion, only to be spit on, attacked and face possible injury or death while performing their sworn ...

Believing lies

Today, more than ever, we need to distinguish the truth from lies. Kristi Noem wanted us to believe that Alex Pretti was a terrorist despite the video that clearly shows this ER nurse holding a phone, then being thrown to the ground and shot in the back. It’s hard to lie when your eyes tell you something different. Glenn Thompson has complimented Noem for taking 45 violent criminals off the streets of Bellefonte. Problem is that there were only 10 felony arrests in Bellefonte in 2025. Also, it is considered a very safe city, safer than 74% of all US cities. Back in August ICE ...

Mastriano on ICE

The Jan. 21 Sun-Gazette has an article about a bill PA Senator Doug Mastriano is introducing in the legislature. The bill would require all Pennsylvania state and municipal law enforcement agencies to cooperate fully with ICE operations in our state. Our legislature is divided, and the article points out that this makes substantive legislation difficult and encourages legislation like Mastriano’s which is of a political in nature and does not address the problems of Pennsylvanians. The editorial in this same issues describes one of those problems: the closure of the maternity unit ...

When silence becomes complicity

Sen. Dave McCormick’s response to the killings in Minneapolis is not just inadequate — it is indefensible. Two innocent people were killed by federal agents in broad daylight. They were not suspects, not aggressors, not threats. Video footage, viewed by millions, shows no imminent danger and no justification for lethal force. Yet instead of demanding accountability, Sen. McCormick rushed to defend ICE and redirect scrutiny away from the agents involved. That choice matters. The senator cites dramatic increases in assaults and threats against ICE officers as if those numbers exist ...

Not for this

My late father and uncles enlisted to fight in World War II, returning home humbled by the sacrifices of their fellow soldiers, pilots, and sailors. They held a steely pride in the United States’ ideals and democratic government. They would never have accepted the abusive actions and hypocrisy of President Trump, actions which clearly contradict long-held, and hard-won, American values. They would have been outraged at the militarized seizure of non-violent immigrants in our streets by masked, unidentifiable agents, or the use of life-endangering, inhumane prisons where detainees are ...
