Tom Hart: Biden is ruining America, bring back Trump
I can’t imagine why anyone would vote for Joe Biden again. What has he done for us in 3.5 years? I’d like to know. He is ruining this great country. Don’t put the blame on anyone else; it’s his fault. As soon as he became president he shut down the Keystone XL pipeline and drafted […]

Jamie Verrill: Libby represents ‘people like me’
“Transparency” refers to light passing through, allowing an object to be clearly seen.

Marc Jalbert: America needs moral, law-abiding president
Donald Trump seems to have prevailed again, playing the justice system like a fiddle. I don’t believe there is any question as to what he did on Jan. 6, 2021. He tried to overthrow an election he didn’t agree with, simply because he lost. Implying that the country was lost, he told his people to […]
