I will no longer be a Republican

May 28, 2022
I’ve had it. As a true Republican I believed in  frugal spending and less intrusion into people’s lives. None of that describes the current Republican Party. I thought fighting from within, the Party was the way to go, and perhaps things would change. I have heard from some ‘quasi-friends’ that my positions make me more […]

Confused

May 21, 2022
Yes, it was an opportune time for the leak - a leaked copy of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion in Dobbs Vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which the Supreme Court is expected to rule on by early July. While upholding Mississippi’s ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, the draft opinion calls […]

It is simply amazing.

May 14, 2022
Ahh politics! Yes, we are going through a period of inflation, prices rising faster than wages, but there is a “but”! President Biden said inflation is his ”top domestic priority” as midterm elections loom. That is a “duh” statement in anybody’s book. Meanwhile. Republicans are foaming at the mouth, blaming current policies for the economic […]

Fossil fuel economics 101

April 30, 2022
You have to love posts on social media, such as President Biden is responsible for the high prices at the pump! Now, that you all have either heard, or believe the gas gags, we will review some actual high gas prices/gas facts. First, I do not like many Biden policies, but am tired of Republican […]

Time for a vacuum cleaner update

April 23, 2022
Longtime readers of this column know I am a vacuum cleaner  lover and self-proclaimed expert. If it’s new, better and the latest, I am there. I admit I have no fewer that three (or more) vacuums, and keep one in every room, including large uprights, cordless and hand-held versions. I have now three longer hair […]

Friendship stops at the dollar

April 16, 2022
No one, except a bunch of stupid Russians think what is happening in Ukraine is humane, or justified and nothing short of war crimes. On Thursday (4/7) the United Nations voted to suspend Russia from the UN Human Rights Council - shows just where the buck stops. The vote to oust Russia from the council […]

Basic Life Questions

April 9, 2022
I don’t know, maybe it’s because I have an inquisitive mind, but these questions seem to be whirling around my noggin. • How come British people talk with heavy, weird English accents, but when they sing, they sing in American, understandable lyrics? • Did cavemen ever suffer from hemorrhoids? If so, did they try to  […]

Do you believe those stupid Russians falling for all that fake news?

April 2, 2022
Imagine the millions of Russian people believing Putin’s propaganda rhetoric about the invasion/war against the Ukrainian people. Thousands of men, women and children have been killed in obvious unconstrained bombing, wiping almost entire Ukrainian cities off the face of the earth. If and when the war comes to an end, millions of Ukrainians will return […]

Trump's love of Putin now a curse?

March 26, 2022
Oh, no, Trump is dying on the vine. Seems the Republican Party is finding it less appealing to follow ex-president Trump and his wild world of politics. Seems his adoration and love of Russian President Putin is catching up with reality, as pictures of Ukrainian mass murder is exposed. Trump, for his part, thought Putin’s […]

Are you racist?

March 19, 2022
Of course you are not! But wait, there are signs that perhaps, overall, we Americans are just a bit racist. When the Ukrainian conflict began, we did our utmost to support the conflict. Numerous posts, governmental and private agencies, people, churches and civic groups jumped on the bandwagon. Several million Ukraine refugees fled to nearby […]

The state of the newspaper industry

March 12, 2022
Beginning this week, the Walmart stores will no longer carry ANY newspapers. We were abruptly told newspapers no longer fit the floor plans for Walmart. That cut our newspaper sales by over 200 papers per week. The Breen’s grocery store in Palmyra closed, cutting shoppers out of 300 Times sales per week. Nearby newsstands will […]

Things to note:

March 5, 2022
Is Vladimir Putin, the Russian President and dictator, losing it? Yup, pictures of him social distancing from everybody by at least 20 feet, along with gruff statements and threats to world peace suggest that perhaps, his noodle is coming loose. Not only has he single handily destroyed the Russian economy, but his generals are enforcing […]

Let's keep those quasi-slaves in place

February 26, 2022
Imagine no steady job. Your social class is relegated to moving season to season, state to state, following the growing seasons. Fruits and vegetables in Florida, moving to Georgia for the peach season, Pennsylvania for corn, before heading to New York for apples and assorted vegetables. After that heading west to Michigan and numerous other […]

Why we should be concerned about our country

February 19, 2022
We assume all is well in the world, but more specifically, the United States of America. After all we are the beacon of democracy and everybody wants to come to America. Screech!...Go the brakes on that thought. This country is on the precipice of disaster and is more divided than even during the Civil War. […]

Kittens become Cats

February 12, 2022
Column readers know I have three Cavalier King Charles dogs, ages 7-11 years old. The dogs shed fur year round and I keep vacuum cleaners in all rooms. They are basically overweight lap dogs that instinctively know time like a clock. Four to four-thirty a.m. wake up, let out and feed. The time is actually […]
