I awake in the middle of the night thinking of children in cages and unregulated coal plants destroying the planet.
Maybe if
I honestly intended to write about something this week besides Donald Trump.
For example, we have a wonderfully interesting Lieutenant Governor in Pennsylvania named John Fetterman who looks more like a biker than a politician.

I had fully intended to dedicate this week’s observations to the exoneration of former East Pittsburgh Police Officer, Michael Rosfeld, who was found not guilty by a jury of his peers after shooting an unarmed black teenager, Antwon Rose II, in the b
My home in the South Hills of Pittsburgh is located on a seemingly peaceful street, lined with oak trees. You can hear the traffic in the distance, but it never really affects you. You hear about the horrific weather trashing the Midwest. But the ang

According to evidence presented in the court filings, Caldwell was in possession of a “death list” which was already revealed by prosecutors in early July. It’s recently been learned…
There’s a serious threat in our nation during this election cycle. Among them is Doug Mastriano a right-wing candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania.
Were it not for the momentum that Trump created to overturn the 2020 election, there could be very little hope for his MAGAts to build support for their campaigns for down-ballot positions that would guarantee them direct access to the electoral…
What a relief it is to learn that Ukraine's counter-offensive against Russia is making small gains.
If you haven't been keeping up, Russian troops have reportedly been unable to establish a corridor into Ukraine that would guarantee control.

In no way am I a pacifist to those of us dividing our nation.
Sure, there are times when I have to choose my battles but not initially.
