We’re supposed...
Grandpa,My son’s wife ruined our holiday celebration. Every year we cook out and spend the afternoon at home playing games in the yard. She has two bratty, little, snips from her first marriage. Last year she left the little brats at her parents’ house when she came over here. This...
September 3, 2021Dear editor; Common sense is my basis for not getting the COVID-19 bio-weapon, which is not a vaccine, or, for not wearing a mask. We were made to breath in oxygen, not carbon dioxide. Vaers.hhs.gov has the data as of August 6 and it is what we should...

Even senator Rick Scott (R) of Florida said he wants to address...
Grandpa,Illinois needs to take another look at some of its laws. Because of some laws hastily passed without looking at the ramifications, I am spending a fortune on legal defense for something I never did. I was an only child of eight years when my father died. I inherited a...
Grandpa,School will start again very soon. I am in a pickle over how to deal with it. I recently became the legal guardian over two of my grandchildren. They have been living with me for the majority of the Summer. They are grade school age and have no friends in...
By John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead The government has a history of shamelessly exploiting national emergencies for its own nefarious purposes.
