Thompson’s misplaced focus

Representative “GT” Thompson attacks his constituents while ignoring significant problems facing our country. In his recent newsletter, Thompson’s only “bad” news was that his office was “defaced” by “an obscene sign” posted on the door. He included a photo of the offending senior citizen. Rather than address the message in the sign, Thompson whined about the protester. Without evidence, he blamed the Centre County Democratic Committee, whose members participate in protests at his office, along with other groups. In reality, there was a lot of bad news this week: ...

Troops in Williamsport?

“When scaled to comparable population sizes, Williamsport, Pennsylvania, exhibits a higher murder rate per capita than both New York City and Los Angeles.” This startling conclusion from an AI analysis draws from crime data from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. This analysis means that if Williamsport possessed the same population as either New York City or Los Angeles, it would theoretically experience a significantly greater number of homicides per 100,000 than these cities currently do because of its elevated per-resident killing rate. According to this ...

Be careful who you trust

I think, many mental health issues of today are a result of people having a hatred for the foundation of the nation and its’ pillars, (Biblical Christianity). The constant claims of, racism and America was reliant upon slavery for prosperity (same claim made by people invested in illegal immigrants, for profit, and a miserable existence for illegals caught in the web of the cartels and their greedy cohorts in America! The same party that made the same claims that pushed our Civil War! *then it was cotton; today it’s strawberries*); NOTHING HAS CHANGED! Until people learn our ...

Democrats in name only

This is for those of you who identify as registered Democrats. I want to believe you are an American who believes in the formula that defines the Republic, not a Democrat, as defined by the party’s doctrine. Currently, the Democratic platform is designed to disrupt and disagree with everything the current administration has done for the people and the world. The party and its controlled media are doing everything in their power to destroy the President and the country. Their support for lawlessness, criminals, and declared Communists running for office is the new plank in their ...

A conversation

I had a nice conversation today with a zoomer (GenZ, 2001). Me: “....yeah we baby boomers ‘messed’ things up. There’s a lot of people hurtin’, but I hope things get better.” Him: “A lot of people got rich, but a lot of people didn’t, like me.” Me: “You got to keep trying.” Him: “You can’t give up.” I wasn’t ready for that answer. The baby boomers are fading out of the picture, even as we hold on to what we earned, or maybe not. Our generation created a huge transfer of wealth while pursuing “progress”, however each group ...
