President is doing what he promised

A recent statement made by a letter writer that says Donald Trump supporters were duped and think he’s God’s gift to America was quite an insult. Many of us did pray to God for Trump to be elected to yes, save us from the madness of the last four years of the Biden administration’s immorality. They promoted anytime-during-pregnancy abortion. They stopped punishing crime in favor of chaos. They supported sometimes violent antisemitic protests while arresting Christians who were praying outside of abortion clinics. They rammed DEI (which is kind of racist) down our throats. ...

USAID cuts are unAmerican

Lying to justify eliminating USAID, an organization that has saved over 22 million lives worldwide, isn’t only foolish and cruel. It’s completely unAmerican. At President Donald Trump’s behest, and with the cowardice and complicity of elected Republicans, the richest man in the world has without evidence accused USAID of being “a criminal organization” while gleefully claiming to have “put it in a woodchipper.” Why are these blatantly false claims being spread about an organization which does so much good? Are Republicans really so desperate to fund permanent tax cuts ...

‘Constitutional crisis’ nonexistent

What is wanted from a president: transparency, honesty, secure border, common sense leadership, respect for personal freedom, doing exactly what was campaigned on, end to political indoctrination in schools, thinking of Americans first before giving everything to the world while his own people suffer. Former President Joe Biden could only speak of “Democracy,” but the Democracy he was referring to was when he coerced Big Tech into silencing millions of Americans from their opinions and thoughts; when he lied when he told Americans that he knew nothing about his son Hunter’s ...

Trump actions are heartbreaking

MAGA put a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist and a serial liar and fraud in the White-only House. They are now in the process of disconnecting America from every international alliance we have and weakening our defenses. The nicest people in the world, the Canadians, now boo the national anthem. Trump said that Ukraine started the war and that any peaceful resolution would only benefit Russia, rewarding them with the land and dropping sanctions currently in place against them. It was heartbreaking when I learned that so many of my inner circle were unequivocally voting for him ...

Keep marijuana out of kids’ hands

Gov. Josh Shapiro claims Pennsylvania stands to benefit by $1.3 billion from legalizing recreational marijuana. How much of that $1.3 billion will be used to make sure that “recreational marijuana for adults” will be kept away from usage by children and young adults? Is $1.3 billion the acceptable going price to fry the young brains that are still trying to recover from the learning losses incurred from the COVID shutdowns? The current marijuana circulating is not the pot of the 1970s and ’80s and will do much more harm to developing minds. If Shapiro legalizes ...

Not just economy that is cracked

The economy is cracked, and now so are the supply chains — because in Pennsylvania, a band of daring thieves has made off with 100,000 eggs. You have to admire the audacity. At $6 a dozen, this isn’t just grand theft — this is a retirement plan. A heist worth tens of thousands of dollars in breakfast gold. But this isn’t just about eggs. No, this is a sign of something far worse. When the economy gets bad, the crimes get weird. In the 1930s, during the first Great Depression, people knocked over banks and bootlegged whiskey. Now, we’re reduced to stealing breakfast. If ...
