How glad I am that Joe Biden is gone. When he was president, the economy was bad, unemployment high and we had horrible relations with other countries except Russia and Ukraine. Biden and the Democrats hurt working people with scams like the new green deal and incited violence and chaos. Yes, life in America is definitely better under conservative Republicans than Democrats.

I wanted to point out the discriminatory tax the property tax is. The majority of people who pay to support the county are property owners. Why do people who work hard to save the money to become home owners, be the only ones to bare this responsibility? Then, as they age and pay off their home, the county continues to tax them to the point they must leave it because of this burden or they will take the property. Everyone that lives in this county should have that burden. This is a discrimination on the property owners that is unfair. Services of the county are for use of all the ...
Six years ago, I started Crowsnest Broadband in central Pennsylvania to solve a problem in my own backyard: people couldn’t get online. Not reliably, not affordably, and not fast enough to work, learn or stay connected. Our Appalachian forests are beautiful, but their topography and other factors prevented access to the Internet. As a result, many homes couldn’t stream a video, join a Zoom call or even make a phone call, leaving the area in the digital divide. This is where we live. And in a time when Internet access is a necessity, we decided to do something about it. So, we ...
On Dec. 31, the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) subsidies will end, because a reauthorization was not included in the “Big Beautiful Bill” that passed in July. If these subsidies expire, about 5 million people will lose their ACA coverage, and premiums for 20 million more will likely increase by an average of 114%, causing many individuals to stop their insurance. With fewer people accessing health care coverage due to cost, everybody’s premiums will increase and hospitals will incur a significant increase in charity care. As a retired couple not yet Medicare ...
Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. I’ll keep this short. For four years, the Biden administration, Justice Department, serial leakers had access to all the info on Jeffery Epstein that President Donald Trump has now, and in all those years we heard zip. Nada. Come on. If they had it, they would have used it. Thank you for your attention to this matter. John Peterman Patton
I am responding to the letter published on Nov. 24 titled “It’s OK not to be OK with this.” The writer wanted us to use the power of the vote to make the changes to get this country back to a country that we can all be proud. I will list events that have happened under President Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s watch: 1. Afghanistan withdrawal (August, 2021) —Value of the equipment that was left behind is estimated to be $7.12 billion, and seized by the Taliban. 2. Four Americans lost their lives in 2012 (Benghazi attack). Repeated requests for additional security in Benghazi ...
