Thoughts on the death penalty When Gov. Shapiro was sworn into office, he put his left hand on a Bible and raised his right to take the oath. That was good. But does he read and know what’s inside the Bible? Does he believe the Bible? As I listened to the news this past week, I got the impression that our governor does not read the Bible. He wants to do away with the death penalty for those persons that have killed another person. This is wrong. First in Exodus 20:13 (The Ten Commandments) it says “You should not murder.” In Leviticus 24:17, it reads this command from God, ...

Billionaire Democratic donors gave big ($10.8M) for anti-Trump attack ads. “Dark money” topped $1 billion in 2020, a massive sum driven by an explosion of “secret donations” boosting Democrats in a historically expensive election.

CEOs became richer when inflation hit This is in response to Mrs Logan’s letter published in the Sentinel on Feb 21. Where do I start? Regarding the inflation that we have been having recently, Representative Katie Porter (D) proved in a televised committee meeting that corporate profits were the biggest contribution to making that inflation high.

When tax breaks came in, corporate profits rose allowing corporations and businesses to do stock buybacks which in the economic world increased profits going into that business. The money made went into the ...

Coming to a borough near you Is it any wonder State College has adopted LGBTQ protections. After all the epicenter of Woke, Liberal insanity is based in the bastions of higher learning. It is not surprising that the vast majority of the United States has not taken interest in this debacle. Only the woke watering holes of higher education seem to be interested in forcing particular laws onto the pages where existing laws already exist. WHY?
