The enemy within

We have all heard the expression "We need to fear the enemy within.” The enemy within has been growing for some time. Getting bigger and stronger with each passing year. I want to think it has reached its peak, and it’s time for the country to put down the enemy within. Who is this enemy? It’s the Democratic Party and its legions of media, judges, city and state leaders, and those in Congress. They are so intent on destroying the Republic. They will use everything in their arsenal of lies, misinformation, and speculation to stop any attempt to bring the Republic back to its ...

Real world consequences

Two news articles in my local newspaper caught my attention. They describe the real-world consequences of the Trump Administration’s actions. The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, which provides food for 600,000 Pennsylvanians every week, has been suddenly cut off from hundreds of thousands of dollars it uses to buy food directly from farmers, the most economical way to purchase milk, eggs and meat. Governor Shapiro has sued the Trump Administration over withholding billions of federal funds that were allocated by Congress and promised for programs such as food banks. When Congress ...

Wild turkey

The perverted priorities of the PA Game Commission (PGC) are, once again, illustrated by their stocking a quarter million non-indigenous pheasants that do not survive from one year to the next, yet they have done absolutely nothing to restore the disappearing eastern wild turkey which is an indigenous PA species. In a Popular Science magazine article in 2017, the PGC turkey biologist admitted that the agency had no idea that the eastern wild turkey population was dramatically decreasing in Penns Woods. That fact absolutely amazes me because we could see the gradual disappearance of ...

Poor farm policy

Farmers know how drought, floods and late spring freezes devastate crops. Their hard work is increasingly challenged by climate change. Now there’s erratic policy direction from President Trump. To help farmers make infrastructure investments to mitigate climate challenges, the Biden Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act offered them funds through the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Farmers signed contracts and paid up front knowing that the federal government would cover some of their costs. Now, however, according to the Washington Post (Feb. 10), President Trump has frozen ...

Genuine leadership

Praise the Lord! After four miserable years with a mumbling, bumbling, and stumbling dictator, we are no longer a banana republic! Now under our superb leadership, we are once again a constitutional federal republic. Our democracy’s power is derived from our citizens. President Trump got a clear mandate on November 5th, from the American people. Promises made-promises kept. Even lifelong Democrats are turning from blue to red. It appears as though common sense makes sense to most intelligent people. President Trump has only been in  office a few days. Already he has done more for ...

Want to save money?

I keep reading articles about President Musk cutting Federal jobs in order to save taxpayer money. Why is he still paying senators, representatives and Supreme Court justices? These people are obviously not needed anymore as Musk and Trump are and will be running America without them. AL SEVER Loyalsock Township Submitted by email
