  • A Dangerous Presidential Precedent0

    Jim Webb

    I would be remiss if I didn’t spend some time on the Inquisition of President Donald J. Trump. Long before the formal impeachment process began, I wrote that if the Democratic Party reached the point where they felt they couldn’t beat President Trump in the 2020 election, they would impeach President Trump. This was a

  • A Politically Balanced Upbringing0

    Jim Webb

    For those of you that are new to reading my column or maybe those that have forgotten my political roots, I thought it would be a good time to discuss this. My Father was an ultra-Conservative Republican but never had a problem letting the Republican Party know when there was a problem. He was a

  • County Hall Corner: Two Worlds – One Family?0

    Larry Stout

    Since 2020 is a presidential election year, and what happens in Washington, D.C. significantly impacts what happens in our area, I am going to periodically present an outlook from a higher view than local politics. The year 2020 promises to be like few others in American history. Both sides of the political spectrum predict a

  • 2020 The Reality of a Futuristic Odyssey0

    Jim Webb

    Happy New Year, everybody! I find it surreal that we’re in the year 2020. In my mind, that sounds like the perfect title for a science fiction movie. Maybe it takes place right here in the United States. Aliens begin to invade our Country, and I’m talking about from another galaxy, not from South of

  • County Hall Corner: 2019: Not an “Off” Year0

    Larry Stout

    In political parlance, an election year that does not have any gubernatorial or national offices on the ballot is considered an “off” year. This means that the turnout will be expected to be low, as all the races are for the most local, and these generally do not arise much passion in the general electorate.

    This Week’s LION: Anne Reiner, Millennial Media Entrepreneur0

    Larry Stout

    How do most folks in Lycoming County get information about their region? The local daily newspaper has been suffering a shrinking readership and subscriptions for some time now. Newspaper circulars in restaurants and grocery stores have some local items, generally revolved around school activities, sporting events, or award presentations. Webb Weekly has a unique niche

  • Williamsport’s Susan Durrwachter Works As Producer For CNN0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    When Susan Durrwachter was growing up here in Williamsport, she could have scarcely imagined that one day she would be rubbing elbows with the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Donald Trump, Rod Stewart, Aretha Franklin, the Jacksons, Matt Damon, and several four and five-star generals. She was able to do this as

  • Many Can’t Handle the Truth, Can You?1

    Jim Webb

    There is something for all of us to dislike in President Donald Trump. That’s just who he is, and he’s never going to change. It is probably his greatest strength as a leader but could be his kryptonite as far as winning a second term in the Oval Office. I have written on at least

    This Week’s LION: Overachiever Jacob Stopper0

    Larry Stout

    In covering various candidates for the upcoming election, I discovered that both Scott Metzger, running for Lycoming County Commissioner, and Eric Beiter, running for Williamsport city mayor, have the same campaign manager. His name is Jacob Stopper from Loyalsock Township. It takes an exceptional person to manage two high-profile campaigns such as this, and he

    This Week’s LION Kaleb Daniels: Intern Extraordinaire2

    Larry Stout

    The comic strip “Dilbert” mocks the contemporary business office. There is a character by the name of Asok, who is a brilliant young intern whose wisdom is not appreciated, and thus ends up doing the most menial of tasks. (Example: “Hey, my staple remover is broken. Somebody toss that intern to me.”) Scott Adams, the

  • This Week’s LION: Ex-Congressman Tom Marino0

    Larry Stout

    When Tom Marino was elected for his fifth term of office for the U.S. House of Representatives, he was confident it would be his last campaign. What Tom did not expect was a life-threatening illness the first week of January of this year that almost cost him his life. It was a terribly difficult decision,

  • Trump Visit Brings To Mind Previous Presidential Visits To Williamsport0

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    Last week’s rapturous reception to the visit to the Williamsport area of President Donald J. Trump evokes memories of previous Presidential visits, though none probably matched the enthusiastic reception that Trump received here. Williamsport has always been the most important crossroads community of Northcentral Pennsylvania. This strategic position has yielded many visits by important and

  • County Hall Corner: Reflections on the Election0

    Larry Stout

    The primary/special election of 2019 is over, and it was quite memorable. Here are some observations from my perspective: Tremendous Turnout: In the 2007, 2011, and 2015 primary elections, the voter percentage was the same, 28%. But last Tuesday, 42% of the voters turned out. This is especially surprising because throughout the state the voter

    A happy belated Mother’s Day to all of you moms. My lovely childbearing parent flew in from California to celebrate. It turned out to be a splendid weekend, but GG had a few issues with her inbound connection. We ended up driving to Wilkes-Barre just to save her, and that is why I missed my

    Happy New Year! I just can’t even fathom that it is the year 2019. Where have the 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s gone? Not to mention, we’re working our way towards 2020. If you are around my age or older, tell me that doesn’t sound like a science fiction movie? One thing is for

    How do you unite the Democrats and Republicans in Washington? An easy answer for those of you watching this past week — just have President Donald Trump meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

    I understand the wheels of Washington move slowly. I also understand President Donald Trump was pretty darn clear about what he and his fellow Republicans were going to accomplish if elected.

    So much has been talked about and made up about what is going to occur as President Donald Trump begins his ‘Contract with the American Voter.’ If you remember, Mr. Trump was in Gettysburg this past October when he released a plan for his first 100 days in office. It was his action plan for
