Let's Talk

So far, Congressman Nick LaLota has not announced any plans to meet with his constituents at a town hall meeting. I would urge him to have one soon so that he can explain to us all how his votes in Congress have benefited us citizens. I will even help him out by giving him some of our questions in advance.

Competing Stories

There are two concurrent news stories competing for the national attention this week. One of them is the Jeffery Epstein story, which many feel could establish a connection with well-known elites and Mr. Epstein’s procurement of underage girls for them. We don’t know if there is any “there” there yet, but expectations were raised. Now, whether or not something nefarious is discovered, the pitchforks are out, leading a Salem-esque rush to find an evildoer. For Democrats, this, hopefully, could tarnish the president whom they so deeply despise. A real danger is that merely having been associated with Mr. Epstein might, ... by Staff Writer
