When will the fat lady sing?

Editor: As I write this (just before noon on Monday, Dec. 19,) members of the electoral college are casting their votes. By the time you read this, it will all be over. However, the official votes won’t be counted until Jan. 6. But some states will live stream their votes, and other states or electors

It ain’t over til the Fat Lady sings

Editor: One would think that after the failed attempt to overturn Donald Trump’s president-elect status with the recount effort, all would finally come to a closure. Well, that is just not the case. I am sure that several of you have already heard about all the emails, phone calls, etc. that have swamped our electoral

Good luck, Donald

Editor: The election is over and the President Elect says his intention is to drain the swamp, meaning get rid of the useless garbage that for so long has run both parties and brought progress to a stand still in our nation’s capitol. Good luck in doing that Donald for both major parties liked the

Vote for Hillary

Editor: It is said that Ben Franklin told a woman, when asked in 1787: “Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?” He said: “A Republic, if you can keep it.” The United States has certainly almost not survived as a republic once, the Civil War, and possibly another time or two.

Vote for our principles

Editor: Our nation today is facing a challenging time, perhaps the most challenging 200 plus year history. Not just the fear of terrorism, the risk of an economic collapse or the threats of war, but because we have drifted away from the founding principles and values that made the USA the greatest free society the
