It’s a mess, and something has to change because too many are leaving before their time. Too many are suffering. Why is this so? Why is this generation so angry? This is one of the most innovative, creative, and gifted generations, yet, all of that ingenuity is being used to...
In response to the article in the December 22, 2022 edition of the Monroe Dispatch regarding "the other side" article submitted by Richwood Mayor Brown - It's ironic that Alderman Profit didn't complain, at least to me, about my actions. Mr. Profit knew he was out of line and had it coming. I had been the butt of Mr. Profits' antics during town meetings for many months and had repeatedly asked him not to interfere when I was talking and not to tell me how and when to vote. It's disrespectful...

Disclaimer: All persons are innocent until proven guilty. In the world in which we live, there has never been something for nothing. The society we live in is capitalistic.

Someone always has to pay either by taxes or other means for "free stuff". According to police reports, another shooting has occurred in...

(VENGEANCE IS MINE SAYS THE LORD) Romans 12:17-19 As we enter into the New Year, it is important that we do not bring any bagage with us from 2022 and previous years that will hinder us from accomplishing our goals and receiving the blessings that we are expecting in 2023. Unforgiveness is a burden that is carried by those of us who refuse to release the deeply seated anger, bitterness and even hatred toward someone that has done us wrong. These strong emotions are usually valid and appear to be justified due to what has been done to us, but...

Kevin McCarthy is finally the “king of the hill”. That’s Capitol Hill. After going through 15 agonizing votes to become Speaker of The House, and years of waiting in the wings, McCarthy has ascended to the mountain top of D.C. politics. It wasn’t an easy climb, as McCarthy “haters” pulled out all of the stops to deny McCarthy the speakership, when in most cases it is only a formality of who becomes the next speaker, as Democrats and Republicans both know ahead of time who they want. Take the example of Democrats, it was no contest that Hakeem...
