  • I’m Tired of Watching Elected Lifestyles of the Rich and Infamous1

    I’m not going to waste my words on the Mueller Report and Russia. It needs to be put in the rearview mirror. Nor on the despicable Jussie Smollett and the Cooke County DA’s Office. That has the fingerprints of former President Barack Obama all over it. I want to try to stay positive and approach

  • Baseball and Buffalo Wings0

    Spring has officially arrived and with it, a new season of Major League Baseball.

  • Can I Handle It?0

    If you’ve been anywhere near YouTube in the last year or so, at some point, you’ve probably stumbled across a “World’s Hottest ________ Challenge” of one sort or another. My boyfriend loves these things, and I don’t mean watching the videos, but actually doing them. Wings, chips, chocolate…you name it, and he’s probably done it.

  • Our Nation has Become Zombified1

    I have never been a fan of zombies. I remember in the late 70s when “Dawn of the Dead” was the big movie. I had no interest in seeing it. When I go to the movies, I want to laugh and be entertained. I have never been into the blood, gore, and things that go

  • Spring is Here…ish0

    Spring is trying to spring. Though I don’t know that we’ve quite hit that ‘out like a lamb’ portion of the month yet. With April Showers being right around the corner, it seems like a good time to take advantage of the last of the ‘inside days.’ By now Spring Fever is hitting the kids

  • Spring Into the Home Show…0

    Just like Little League marks the end of summer for me, the West Branch Builders Home Show marks the start of spring. I always look forward to spending a couple of hours at the show each year. It’s always nice to hear people’s thoughts, ideas and opinions on the paper. As usual we are doing

  • Socialism – An Evil Veiled Deceptor0

    So let me get this straight…Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a 79-year-old self-proclaimed socialist, again wants to be the president of the United States of America. His last time out seeking the Democratic nomination I guess he just wasn’t experienced enough at age 75. He needed four more years of seasoning to grow his socialistic

    In Honor and Remembrance of Our American Soldiers0

    What weather we’ve seen over the last year. You just don’t know what to expect. Last week snow and treacherous driving were on full display one day, followed by a beautiful sunrise and 50-degree temperatures the next. One thing’s for sure, March is just around the corner, and that sounds good to me. Let’s hope
