IT’S MONDAY! We all wonder about Texas politics. It is rife with misogyny, racism, gerrymandering, voter suppression, and several other issues. Two recent actions in that state make me think that there may be a smidgen of...

OK, IT’S MONDAY! The Primary Election was held last Tuesday and although the state-wide results were not exactly what we worked for, there are four qualified Democratic candidates on the November ballot for Pennsylvania court positions. This is an important choice for November. We need qualified judges in our state-wide courts who will uphold the rule of law and lead us into an ideological...
It’s Monday! 5/15/2023
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! 5/8/2023
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! 4/3/2023
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! 3/27/2023
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...
