I am the guy who said our local conspiracy theorist (LCT) was cherry picking data and he did it to you again. LCT uses numbers and formulas to make his points it…

It has been two decades since the horrific deadly terrorist attack on the New York World Trade Center’s Twin Towers, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania flight attempts, that killed so many people in…

This is another ECB article that affected me personally. Approaching four-scores this story led me to thinking how trivial many young people feel about senior citizens (old folk). Too often I have…

The “Constitution Alive!” video series was presented at the Monticello Opera House for 12 consecutive Tuesdays, from May 4 through July 20, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. This free class, on…
