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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
I just thought I would have fun this week posting really stupid quotes from politicians from both sides of the aisle. • Barack Obama on Visiting 57 States: “I’ve now been in 57 states — I think one left to go.’’ • Joe Biden on Barack Obama: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American […]
I absolutely love the dynamics of people’s thought process in determining statements, ‘facts’, political leanings and social media posts. For example, states determined to overturn the Supreme Court decision of Roe vs. Wade (the abortion issue), believe in the sanctity of life, yet are the states at the forefront of capital punishment. (???) Anti-maskers and […]
Okay, so President Biden won the 2020 election, probably because so many real Americans hated the Trumpster, not because they thought Biden was a great asset, just better than the alternative. With high hopes, the ‘Build Back Better” theme was off to a promising future. But, from the very beginning, Biden fell into numerous political […]
In modern English, a cult is a social group that is defined by its unusual religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs, or its common interest in a particular personality, object, or goal. Probably the most notable ‘cult’ was the tragic Peoples Temple, founded by Jim Jones. According to a paper by the Department for the Study […]
As I see, it as the 2024 Presidential Election approaches (?)... Democrats have abandoned the Biden/Harris team for obvious reasons. Biden failed to show up at the convention, and although Harris vigorously objected, she was immediately silenced and the “Ice Queen” was promised an ambassadorship to Iceland. The ‘New Democratic team’ will consist of Pete […]
There is a reason we recently started a new page entitled Our Planet, see page A8. We all have to take this climate change to heart. There is no more denying it is happening. Only a basic idiot fails to see the massive changes in storms, weather patterns and even local effects occurring in our […]
Wife Patti drove me to get a haircut on Sunday morning. (No, I cannot yet drive due to the health thing.) I was immediately greeted and sat in the chair to get my once golden locks clipped. Having gone through a horrendous week in New York City and at the hospital at Rochester General (see […]
We made our annual trip to New York City for Broadway plays. This time, under very strict COVID protocols. We saw three musicals, and on Sunday night, went to see the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music hall. First, I was surprised that every hotel, restaurant and play checked everybody’s COVID card and ID. […]
After the December 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, many news organizations ran stories about assault weapons, explaining their varying definitions and presenting varying opinions about whether they should be banned again at the federal level. I’ll start out with NY SAFE Act. The NY SAFE Act prevents criminals and the dangerously mentally ill from […]
