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
For Americans, Saturday, Dec. 6, 1941, began as most Saturdays before it. American life was different then; Saturdays were different because Sundays were different. Sundays were not shopping days; they were more geared to rest and relaxation at home. Some families ventured away from home on that day of the week only to attend religious services or “to go for a ride,” if they were fortunate enough to own a vehicle. Anyone interested in sports learned about game results either by way of a radio or waiting until the next publish day of their local newspaper. Television was ...
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 ...
Since all seats of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and about half of those of the state Senate will be on the state’s 2026 election ballots, it’s safe to surmise that commonwealth residents need not fear a state income tax increase, no matter when the Legislature completes its work on a budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year. The purported deadline for completion of that budget is June 30, but it took the General Assembly more than four extra months beyond June 30 of this year for work on 2025-26’s $50 billion spending package to be finished. It was a mess for which the ...
Next year we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, and yet one of the most critical components of our free society — an independent, unbiased free press — is at a tipping point, and you have more power than ever to determine what happens next. There’s a lot not to like about the news right now. Many people are tuning out, turning away, or feeling like the media no longer serves them. That frustration is legitimate. But at Spotlight PA — a nonprofit, nonpartisan statewide newsroom — we’re charting a bold, fresh new course. So as you consider the causes and organizations ...
Oh God, how I miss Joe Biden. When he was president, the economy was booming, unemployment was low and we had good relationships with other countries. President Biden and the Democrats tried to help the working class. They preached peace not vengeance and violence. They never sent troops to invade American cities. And, they passed the infrastructure bill that is responsible, right now, for improvements to highways, bridges and many infrastructure projects in Pennsylvania. But now that has all changed with Donald Trump and the Republicans in power. With their tariffs, they have ...
