The Newest Form Of Serfdom

“Nearly the whole of the professional, intellectual, and government class has betrayed the cause of universal human liberty in our times.” (Jeffrey Tucker). Our Government forces taxpayers to subsidize those who chose not to work, lavishes subsidies on Wall Street Billionaires for counter-productive Net-Zero Green Energy projects, and subsidizes illegal aliens and the NGOs that brought them here. USAID funded the CIA overthrow of the legitimate government of Ukraine 2014, setting off the current Russia/Ukraine conflict which has cost a million lives so far. Under Biden, taxpayers ...

Just A Toy Or More?

Recently I have seen a lot of posts about paper dolls. I have not seen any that I had as a youngster. My favorite set was a set of twins. They came in a cardboard case so I could carry them around. They were probably about two or three years old as their clothes indicated. More than half the fun with paper dolls is when you got to cut out their clothes. There were always tabs that fit over the shoulder to hold them on. I was an only child so I played alone a lot. Paper dolls were some of my favorite things to play with. On nice days when it was not windy, I often took them out to the ...

The Impact Of The New Bills Stadium

When you drive up Southwestern Blvd. (Route 20) in Orchard Park, you are overwhelmed by the immensity of the new Buffalo Bills stadium. It stands there 156 ft. tall, or about the same height as a 14-story building. Yet, what makes it so immense is that it is like seeing ten or twelve such buildings all tied together. The size of it dominates the horizon. I can remember only two other public work projects in Western New York than can even compare with it—one being the completion of the New York State Thruway in 1960 and the other, at about the same time, the building and completion ...

Vote My Way, Or You’re Deranged

Regarding the metamorphic dog story it did not go over everyone’s head. It was a bit adolescent but no one is perfect. I have not written an article lately because quite frankly I am very disappointed in the way my fellow Americans have reacted to the last election. One of my past friends even called me an idiot for voting for Trump. She was of course among the minority of people who voted for Kamala Harris. So, if you voted for President Trump you are an idiot. I haven’t witnessed such hatred and propaganda about an election since the Third Reich. Get a grip on yourself. The ...

Nero – Not Hitler – Label At Museum

“America now has both the pope and the antichrist,” stated a meme posted by a person who also posted another saying, “Trump is a POS, second only to Hitler.” Is Trump gassing Jews? Does Trump espouse a Bible-despising worldview like the Nazis did? It wasn’t long ago when I walked through a hallway plastered with malicious remarks and nasty caricatures, which included the devil masked as a man whose speeches were regarded as nothing but “lumps of imbecility, buffoonery and vulgar malignity.” Ridiculed as “the weakest man who had ever been elected … vain sterile, ...

Please Sir, May I Have Some More?

Regarding the recent editorial entitled, “Etiquette Can Go South Fast During Town Halls,” John D’Agostino bemoans the “rowdiness” of those who attend in-person town halls and sympathizes with our congressman’s refusal to hold them. Citing the experience of Tom Reed, Congressman Nick Langworthy’s predecessor during the first Trump Administration, D’Agostino hails Reed’s composure in “walking into a buzzsaw” when he faced constituents at a town hall in Stow in 2017. I was part of that buzzsaw, and yes, we were upset. Why? Donald Trump and the GOP were threatening to ...
