Where are the freedom lovers who are allowing townships and municipalities to install flock cameras without any questions? When China installed these the news told us they were bad, how are these any different? They could at least give us the courtesy of a transparency page. I will say this, don't ask me for levy support. You all want to be like communist china? Then so be it, commie!

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz said their campaign was all about bringing joy. They were right. Since November 6th I've felt nothing but pure joy.

Since there were 1500 pages in the proposal to keep our government alive, there is NO way that Trump even read what he nixed. He doesn't read anything! He did it out of spite and to show he is the "big boss", OR Musk did it and Trump acceded to him. Heaven help us with these two.

The Continuing Resolution bill in front of Congress this week, had bi-partisan support with a 3.8% cost of living raise for Congress. The current salary for congress is $174,000. That's more than 90% of the working-class American makes. The increase is $6600, bringing their pay to $180,600. Congress was scheduled to be in session 133 days this year. For the job they do, are they worth it? Do your job, balance the budget, lower the debt then ask for a raise.

These endless threats of a government shutdown could be easily eliminated if instead of threatening to withhold the paychecks of our military and TSA, Congress would have their pay withheld until they came to an agreement.

Courthouse Square looks pretty good, everyone is maintaining their priorities except for Attorney Jeff Goodman and Common Pleas Judge Sean O'Brien. The entrance of their property at 170 North Park is constantly filled with trash. It's pathetic that these two guys, who take in plenty of taxpayer money with salaries (Goodman also works as a public defender) can't pay someone to make sure their property isn't a liability to those around them.

It's past time for Biden to step aside. He is going through U.S. money as if it's water. Now, he has given away billions more in student loan forgiveness as well as giving billions more to Ukraine. In addition to the wasted money, he has commuted the sentences of 37 inmates currently on Death Row! Get him out of that office before he does even more damage!

Have you ever noticed that Trump is always "threatening" something or someone, or is looking for "revenge" for some perceived slight from anyone? Isn't it just wonderful that we have such a 'gentleman' coming to our presidency, one who has plots against so many and so much? Those words seem to be his 'headlines' daily.
