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, ...

Remembrance

U.S. Presidents are preoccupied with their historical legacy. Now, in my humble opinion, Trump will not be remembered for unleashing the Golden Age of America, nor for ushering in world piece, nor for winning the Noble Peace Prize, nor for his head carved into Mount Rushmore--assuming they can find enough orange paint. He will go down in history as a climate denier who changed the trajectory away from clean energy, negatively impacting the lives and wellbeing of millions, maybe billions of human beings in the coming decades. What he is doing and already done to climate science and ...

Memories will live on

I just received a text picture of the demolished Plant#1 of Sprout-Waldron (S-W). I am saddened. Since 1867 this company meant so much to the employees, clients and the economy of the greater Williamsport area. The process equipment that S-W made was sold through out the modern world. Everyday that you live, you come in contact with a item that S-W equipment had a hand in manufacturing. S-W serviced the small entrepreneur and Fortune 500 companies with great pride and professionalism, all clients counted. All of this could not have been accomplished without competent engineers and ...
