Speak up

Too many city neighborhoods have abandoned or deteriorating properties that bring down property values, make a less attractive environment, along with all the other inherent problems. We look like a town that doesn’t care to visitors. How are good families and small businesses encouraged to live her with the waste of our housing stock so evident? Our own City Hall abandoned, with a leaking roof! An administration that can’t maintain one building is also supposed to be entrusted with the care of our housing infrastructure. Our incredible City Hall, abandoned, not good enough for ...

Thank you

I want to take a moment to publicly thank Representative Jamie Flick for his leadership and common-sense approach to reforming Pennsylvania’s family court system. His recent effort to simplify and streamline custody decisions, as highlighted in your article “Lawmaker seeks to simplify custody decisions,” is an inspiring and much-needed step forward for families across the Commonwealth. Even though Rep. Flick is not my district representative, he’s proven that his vision extends beyond political boundaries. He sees the bigger picture—understanding that issues like child ...

Two Americas

We have now become two Americas. One ruled by the so-called Democrats, the other by the Republicans. The Democratic Party and its controlled media are trying to make the Republic a Communist Government model. The Republicans, for the most part, are trying to keep the concept of the Republic as designed by the founders. Daily, the Democrats and their media “badmouth” and criticize the current government. It is their daily salvo against the President. and the people who support the Republic. They are openly supporting a Communist oriented candidate for Mayor of New York whose ...

Thompson misrepresents bill

Representative “GT” Thompson doesn’t represent his constituents. He doesn’t even respect us — as revealed in his highly selective and partisan newsletter and his stance on the recently passed budget bill. While he claims the bill benefits his district and calls it a “game-changer” for rural America, key parts of the bill are a gut-punch to rural Pennsylvanians. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the richest households will gain $12,000 annually while the poorest will lose $1,600. Notably, middle-income taxpayers are likely to find their small tax cuts ...

Misdirected outrage

Even though, before he was elected to anything, our sitting president was best friends with now deceased, convicted pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein, the ever-so- wise, conspiracy-loving MAGA faithful feel betrayed, not because they suspect that the born-into-wealth-and-privilege, inheritor of same, multiply bankrupted, mediocre business person, truth and morality-averse cult leader finally elected after twice failing to win the popular vote, could possibly be implicated in Epstein’s depraved criminality, but, rather, because they feel deprived of the vindication they sought when they ...

Fraud

According to public records, Joseph R. Biden served as President of the United States for 1461 days (January 20, 2021 – January 20, 2025). Also on record is the fact that Biden took 570 days of vacation time during that 1461 period. That amounts to taking 20 weeks of vacation time every year. So, in his four-year term, he took 80+ week of “vacation time”. Who was running the country while the President was sleeping on the beach? Was the officer with “nuclear football” nearby to wake him in case of an imminent attack? When he was at the White House, he had morning meetings, ...
