  • Trump Political Comeback Historic but Not Unprecedented0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    When Donald Trump won back the Presidency in this past election, most people probably thought that this was the first time that this historic feat had been accomplished, but they would be wrong.

    I was sixteen when I first heard about a swimming hole the locals called The Big Forty. It was an abandoned slate quarry that had partially filled with water. The hole got its name from a forty-foot-high cliff along the south side. The water was clear and deep, and the cliff was high and steep.
