Just say no to Schumer’s ‘blank check’ spending bill

Body
Americans for Limited Government is urging every Republican senator to reject any and all versions of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s blank check spending bill.

Letter to the editor: ‘Gun Talk’ comes to an end

Body
In the 1950s, my friend Ward Lowe [then publisher of the Dispatch Record] mentioned one day, “Why don’t you write something about guns and hunting for the paper.” I said, “Gosh, I’m not a writer.” Ward said, “Oh, just make some notes or something.” So I did. I wrote for a while until I started traveling, which led to a 20-something-year hiatus.

Quorum-busting Democrats

Some think tank or polling organization should ask 1,000 Americans: What is the best thing most Americans can do to make the country better? Presumably, those most influenced by their schooling and by the media would answer something along the lines of: “fight racism” or “work to reduce inequality.” Whatever the specific answer, most young people -- and those older who lean left – likely would respond by citing some form of activism.

The Jan. 6 video cover-up

Body
Hide and seek should be a game for children, not for ruthless feds. But here we are. An American citizen, innocent until proven guilty, is fighting for his freedom against a government juggernaut hell-bent on framing him as a violent Jan. 6 insurrectionist.
