God starts His Word with a great take it or leave it statement. Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
New York state passed a record $229 billion budget for the next fiscal year. It was a month late as Governor Hochul tried to get a few items that the legislature didn’t agree with changed, but in the end she did get a minor change in the “No Bail Law” that would allow judges more discretion …
With many people, if they finish the month with $100 in the bank, things are looking up. On the other hand, if the balance dropped below $100,000, other people would consider themselves broke. I belong to the former group. If you want full disclosure, my checkbook balance as I type this is $47.65.

On Jan. 24, 2022, less than a month after Robert “Jazz” Jasinski, celebrated his 60th birthday, his six-decade run on this third post from the sun came to an abrupt and unexpected close. It would not be until May 23, 2023, that his cremains would be finally interred to their ultimate resting…
Sayre taxpayers
Public transportation in the city of New York – surface and especially subterranean – has never had a sterling reputation. The recent coverage surrounding the death of homeless and mentally ailing Jordan Neely, who was threatening riders saying, “he had little to live for” on a Manhattan sub…
It’s time to put the brakes on, with the country struggling in so many areas. The Southern border invasion is at a critical point. Housing is becoming unaffordable to many, yet the administration lets millions of illegal immigrants come here with no plan on how to feed, house, educate, and s…
Bad boys, bad boys
On social media, I read posts like, “We will never change the world by just going to church. We will only change the world by being the church.”
For my first 17 years, a hat was, well, a hat. It wasn’t until I stepped off the bus in the wee hours of a humid June morning and landed on those celebrated yellow footprints of Parris Island that I quickly learned what I once called a hat was now a cover.

When it comes to style, there are many choices. Some ministers preach like an intellectual giving a dissertation. Speaking in a monotone, it would take a nearby explosion to get them to move from behind the pulpit. Others move around so much a pulpit seems unnecessary. Of those that move aro…
Anheuser-Busch (AB) seeking to pass off a man for a woman in their latest advertising campaign, hitched their Clydesdales to 26-year-old transgender Dylan Mulvaney that only reinforces their wokeness.

Is change good? A better question would be: Is all change good? When someone starts smoking, is that a good change? The point is that some changes are good, and some are bad.
Gasoline prices have jumped significantly in the last month, meaning also that prices in the grocery stores are going up again. Remember last year when the president released millions of barrels of petroleum from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). The SPR is now at the lowest level since…
The older I get, my hearing and vision isn’t necessarily the problem; rather, it is believing what I hear and see. To wit: the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act” voted on last week in The House of Representatives.
Who’s to blame?
Each one of us has individuals that influence our life. Parents are high on many people’s list of those making a difference in their lives. After all, without our mom and dad, we would not exist.

China was granted permanent most favored nation status (MFN), when the Senate voted in September 2000, and President Clinton signed it into law in October. That was instrumental in China joining The World Trade organization (WTO). MFN gives countries the best trade terms with the member coun…

“In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). This is the start of the Easter story.
Please respond
Thank you
Easter time is upon us. The big day is less than two weeks away. Each year, as Easter approaches, I wonder about Christians and their attitude toward Christianity. I have these thoughts because Easter makes Christianity an all-or-nothing proposition, and many claiming Christianity try to wal…
Where is President Biden and for that matter, where is Vice President Harris? I think you can guess they are at very friendly talk shows and photo ops, letting law abiding citizens know they would like to make it harder to buy a legal weapon and promoting equity over performance. They both b…
As a child, I remember adults discussing how “politicians lie all the time.” As a younger adult, I remember people saying, “Politicians will say anything to get elected.”

There are seven churches listed in Revelation chapters two and three. I believe that every church, in any place or time, can point at one of the seven churches and say, “There we are.” In other words, every church holds the characteristics of one of the seven churches.

The big scare is coming up as President Biden is about to propose his budget for next year. He wants you to believe that in every election cycle republicans want to cut social security and medicare. I am sure you know that neither party would dare propose that. Those programs both have to be…
