Did many of you dear readers have the opportunity to enjoy the rambling, fact-less, two-hour long drivel-fest polluting our airwaves, purported to be a State of the Union Address by our chief executive February 24? It was interesting the way he pulled fantasy numbers and facts right out of the

February 15, 2026Dear editor; It only takes a warm day or two in February for me to eagerly anticipate baseball’s opening day and the forth coming season. Memories of past seasons, both as a player and as a fan, shared with friends, teammates, and family, stoke that enthusiasm in me

I also resent the expectation that we must all purchase personal phones that track our every move and keystroke, then
We’ve just celebrated Valentine’s Day, that exceptional, manufactured holiday to sell more Hallmark® cards and show our devotion to the special someone we love, usually by showering her (since I’m writing this from a reasonably normal man’s point of view) not with water, unless she’s extremely dirty, but with chocolate
February 3, 2026Dear editor; As far back as Apostle Matthew’s account of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, it’s been said that “It rains on the just and the unjust.” I’m probably the last person who ought to quote Scripture, but I believe that this verse means that God’s blessings (sun)
February 5, 2026Dear editor; Every year, we hear reminders to “shop local” during the holidays…reminders that fade as we settle into the New Year.

By Dr. Glenn Mollette Friendship is a two-way street. If a relationship is totally dependent on one person it won’t last very long. If you have to make all the effort a friendship will soon die. One person, does not make a friendship, marriage, or any kind of relationship. The
If you’ve been reading my blather here for any length of time, you’ve probably perused my Home Alone stories ad nauseam, along with other columns highlighting my memorable experiences as an indispensable part of feature films known as an “extra” or “atmosphere” or “background”.

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda News flash for the Charles “The Sponge” Coddington! I lived the history of which I speak “Spongy.” And because I lived it, I know it because it affected real lives. My family lived Communism. We felt it through the relatives who were murdered and who were
By John & Nisha Whitehead What does it say about a political movement that demands absolute reverence for life in the womb yet shrugs when the government kills, cages, or brutalizes the living? What does it say about a government—and a political movement—that claims to value the unborn, but once
January 27, 2026Dear editor; Have we had enough hostility and chaos from all sides? It was Abraham Lincoln who counselled, “We’re just about as happy as we decide to be.” What’s true with people is also true with nations. Our political and media leaders at all levels should be cautioned
