False promises give rise to a star of wonder

Many are ignorant of the founding era, the people (character) and what drove them. The world situation, the mindset of ruling classes, especially of the European world; in particular England. When I, or others point to the verifiable facts of America’s Godly Christian Heritage and the use of Biblical precepts in our founding documents; we are given blank stares, looks of disbelief, or retorts with claims of historical fantasies. When Christians ignore the public square, they ignore their Father’s Will! We are to be guardians for Truth and Righteousness. We are living with the ...

A party’s demise

On the evening of November 5, the Democrats basically got shown where the bear you-know-what in the briar patch. This was despite the fact that they outspent the Republicans by many millions of dollars and that over ninety percent of the mainstream news media strongly supported them---as usual. The media actually destroyed the Democratic Party unwittingly by covering up for them so intensely for so long. Democrats think they own the moral high ground, but their morality is clearly based on a kind of Marxist materialism. With the indulgence of the unbelievers out there, this puts me in ...

United we stand, divided we fall

This is for those who identify as a Democrat. I come to you because if I addressed those you voted in in the Congress or the state, they would laugh and tell me I don’t understand who is in charge of the country or state. Therefore, I am posting this for you — Democratic voters. Most of you have always voted for the person with a D next to the name. Yes, so do many Republicans. The difference is, Democrats have not kept up with what the party stands for. They have always been prejudiced and elite which was the reason for the Civil War. They lost it, but like the elephant, they ...

Fluoride eats holes in concrete

Recently, the Philadelphia Inquirer published an editorial reprinted in the Sun Gazette that dismissed RFK Jr.’s promise to end fluoridation if appointed Secretary of Health and Human Services. While the article paints RFK Jr. in a negative light, it also perpetuates myths about fluoridation that deserve a closer look. 1. “Fluoride is not an industrial waste product. It is a mineral found in rocks and soil.” While it’s true that fluoride exists naturally in the environment, not all fluoride is created equal. The fluoride added to public water supplies is hydrofluorosilicic ...

The new normal?

Is this going to be the new normal or will it be a harbinger of a shift in society? A young man shot the CEO of a large health insurer company. This young man has become a hero of sorts with the disgruntled and those who experienced denial of health insurance claims. The making of health care a business based on making the most profit instead of the best outcome for consumers is connected to this outcome. GOP leadership in Congress has piqued the ire of its female members, they are getting leadership chairs on committees. I thought the women knew the GOP want their women to look ...

Gun control and effective policing

First, as a retired federal agent, I laughed when I read your front-page article on Dec. 27, “Lawmaker wants Pennsylvania to crack down on ‘ghost guns.” I wonder why legislators think they can stop crime by enacting more gun control laws that only affect honest gun owners? I read the entire article and needed to tell citizens many facts about criminals. In my 26 years carrying a federal badge, I arrested about 100 criminals. Most were armed and NONE possessed a gun carry permit. Since most were criminals in the gun control “Mecca” of Massachusetts, they did not qualify. Now ...
