    Larry Stout

    Back in the forgotten days of real journalism, a big story was described as a ‘front-page story,’ and its importance was shown by the headline’s font size. So, for many newspapers, when Pearl Harbor was attacked, or President Kennedy was assassinated, the headline filled half of the front page, known as ‘above the fold.’ Today,

  • I’m Not Biden It!1

    Jim Webb

    For the past couple of years, I have written that everyday hard-working Democrats need to take their party back. It is no longer the party of past presidents like Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, or even President William Jefferson Clinton. What began during the Obama administration has carried on under the current leadership of

  • County Hall Corner: Voting By Mail – The Real Story1

    Larry Stout

    Director of Voter Services, Forrest Lehman, has been receiving dozens of telephone calls daily concerning the upcoming election.

    If this was a normal year, on Wednesday, August 19th, Fourth Street in Williamsport would have been packed with thousands of onlookers gathering to watch the Little League World Series Grand Slam Parade.

    Tim Hartzell

    For the past 22 weeks, everyone has been struggling to navigate the difficulties of the pandemic shutdown.

    With all that the Class of 2020 has endured during what was supposed to be that special senior year, they deserve a presidential quality commencement speech.

    You’ve got a few things to say about that guy in the White House. If not now, well, you’ve said a few things about other guys in the White House over the years – much of it civil, but some of it was inappropriate for polite society. And in “Dangerous Crooked Scoundrels” by Edwin L.

  • Remembering Easter 19430

    Lou Hunsinger, Jr.

    President Trump has likened the present Corona Virus pandemic crisis to being in a wartime situation and at times if feels like that.

    Having studied leadership for going on three decades and getting to rub shoulders with a number of leaders from all parts of the globe, I have discovered that there is one attribute that many share, which is rarely noted — their ability to remember names.

  • A Dangerous Presidential Precedent0

    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

  • 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.

  • Not So Democratic Party1

    Jim Webb

    The Inquisition of President Trump is absolutely pathetic. I have never seen a less Democratic procedure take place in our Nation’s Capital. Democracy and the current Democratic Party couldn’t be any greater of a contradiction.
