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. The current House Judiciary hearing has absolutely nothing to do with what they claim are two impeachable offenses, and everything

There is a folklore tale that the origin of the “Rule of Thumb” dates back to Sir Francis Buller, an eighteenth-century British judge who determined that a man may beat his wife with a stick no wider than his thumb. There is no record that he made such a statement, but even if it is

About 8 o’clock Sunday evening was visited by the most destructive conflagration ever known in the history of this town.

The first nine chapters of the book of Genesis describe an ancient and mysterious era. Frankly, every time I read this section, I end up with more questions than I do answers. I’m a fan of head-scratchers — and the first part of Genesis is chock-full of them. However, the Bible was not intended to

Nicole Ippolito does not look like a politician because she really isn’t one. Yes, she is running to be elected to the office of District Attorney for Lycoming County, but in truth, she is doing what is required to get her name in the public eye so she can do the job that she has

It’s funny how Williamsport was bare and deserted when I was a naivé child, and the arts had been hidden away in those old Victorian homes — afraid to come out and represent the talent that this small town holds within its heart. Today, the Port is well known for its music and a lady,

A young (now mid-age) couple will either be very miffed or overly delighted that I decided to share some excerpts of their ultra-private love letters to each other.
