Well, IT’S MONDAY! and tomorrow is Tuesday. Significantly, it is Primary Election Day. It is late in the process but two people have made themselves known as write-in candidates for Brookville Area School Board. They are Justin Parson and Ben Reynolds. Every Democrat who resides within the Brookville Area School District should consider writing in these two men...

IT’S MONDAY! and the DOJ has gotten several Seditious Conspiracy convictions and a host of other convictions on some members of the Proud Boys, all related to the January 6th insurrection riot and attempted coup on the Capital grounds. Every day, or so it seems, some revelation of financial improprieties and questionable ethics are revealed about members of the Supreme Court. Trump’s...

IT’S MONDAY! and there is so much happening that I cannot pick a subject to concentrate on. There is a story circulating that a major Republican contributor has told the beneficiaries of his largess that they should be passing more voter suppression legislation. Tennessee just passed a bill protecting gun and ammunition makers and sellers from civil suits. Although Mifepristone was...

IT’S MONDAY! and a discussion of intent may be in order. Whether you follow her or not, Rachel Maddow has a directive we should all heed, “Watch what they do, not what they say.” This is good advice to follow in all aspects of life, but we are going to apply it here to the Republican Propaganda Machine.We hear a lot of talk about respecting life but when children are being shot in their...

It’s Monday and I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter, Passover, or Ramadan celebration. Coincidentally, they all fell at the same time this year. We were all able to worship at the church, synagogue, or mosque of our choice or maybe not celebrate in a religious manner at all if that were your preference. Isn’t it wonderful that we live in a country where you have a choice as to how you worship...

IT’S MONDAY! and Donald Trump has been indicted! Just in case you were visiting Mars or were hiking the Appalachian Trail last week, let me repeat that.  DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN INDICTED! Yes, it’s Monday and that was the most satisfying news I have heard in quite a while. No one knows the details of the charges yet, but rumor has it that there are at least 30 counts of...

IT’S MONDAY! again and I notice that our own GT Thompson was bragging about speaking against the new Biden EPA rule defining Waters of the United States. His rationale was that it’s time someone stood up for property rights. It’s the age-old Republican defense of property rights over human rights. The rule is an attempt to define what waters and wetlands are subject to regulation...

Yes, IT’S MONDAY! It appears that “Demstock 23” at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds is moving forward. The committee has forwarded the deposit to the Jefferson County Fair Board and the Contract if not signed, will be in the near future. Planning is in full swing, and we are working to develop a full slate of speakers who are current candidates or who may be running in 2024. Advocacy...

IT’S MONDAY! I was listening to the Thom Hartman radio show last Friday and a fellow came on with this hypothesis. He said that we should refrain from using the terms left-wing vs. right-wing because, he says, leftists use the government to control the people and rightists use corporate power to control the people. Then he added, Fascists do both but Liberals do neither, I assume...

Well, IT’S MONDAY! again. First, let me thank all of our committee members who participated in our scheduled petition signing events or helped by knocking on doors and asking voters to sign for our great candidates. It was a very successful campaign. The petitioning process is what allows interested parties to declare their intent to run for office. The act of collecting...

IT’S MONDAY! again. This past week we marked the one-year anniversary of the Ukraine War. I do this without any joy or expectation this conflict will end soon. The celebration, if you can call it that, is the success of the Government and People of Ukraine to thwart the aggression of Russia. In stark contrast to Trump, who disparaged and threatened to destroy NATO, President Biden...

Yes, IT’S MONDAY! again. This has been such a consequential week I don’t know where to begin. We have bad news, news, and good news. I think we’ll start on the negative side and work to a positive conclusion. That, I think, will promote better mental health for all. We had another mass shooting last week, this time on the campus of Michigan State University. Three individuals...

Yes, IT’S MONDAY! again. Going back to 2021, I honestly thought that Trumpism would fade into oblivion, that time would fade Trump into oblivion,or he would get indicted for something, anything. As the test of time has shown, my assessment was wrong. Therefore, I have been living in a state of rational hope, basking in the light of all the positive things accomplished by the Biden...

IT’S MONDAY! again, and the Republican-controlled House of Representatives keeps talking about doing the people’s business but seems to keep stepping on their own toes. A lot of energy was spent in political revenge by kicking some Democrats off of committees. A worthless vote to ban socialism will only allow them to use that rhetoric against Dems. Now some members have replaced their...

IT’S MONDAY! and my head is spinning. First, it was that Trump had classified documents, the political world went nuts, and the Attorney General appointed a Special Prosecutor. Then it was found that President Biden had classified documents, the political world went nuts, and the Attorney General appointed a Special Prosecutor. Now it was found out that former Vice President Pence had...

IT’S MONDAY! I would think that after listening to me rant, in this column and in person, for the last two or three years, you would know that I am a Liberal Democrat, not a communist or socialist operative. In my personal life and my political life, I try to promote policies and actions that would benefit society as a whole and that are fair and equitable, both socially and...

IT’S MONDAY! I believe the antics of the Republican-led House will entertain us for months to come, the comic relief will be priceless. The policies and ‘wanna doos’ they are currently pushing are the policies and ideas that led to the Republican disaster of Nov 2022. So, let’s take a different tack this week to a subject that affects us all but little is ever said or done in...

IT’S MONDAY! the second Monday of the New Year. It did not take very long for the Republican Majority in the House of Representatives to make a mockery of the institution and prove they are unable to lead their own caucus in the simple task of selecting a leader. I’m not sure what that says about their leadership ability for the nation at large as there are several important and...
