  • Pastor's Corner

    Mar 31, 2021

    I Am By the time this comes out in the paper, it will only be a few days before Good Friday and then Easter. To me, it is the most significant time that we as Christians celebrate. If you have been following along, it is the focal point of God's plan that started way back in Genesis 3.

  • Letters to the Editor

    Harold Pease PhD|Mar 31, 2021

    How to Bankrupt America On March 15, 2021, Joe Biden signed into law the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Act. Not a single Republican in the House or Senate voted in favor of this legislation, as only 9% of which had anything to do with the Wuhan China Virus. This in light of the fact that a trillion dollars was not yet spent from the money previously allotted for COVID relief. Prior to this the first spending package for the virus was last year March 27, 2020, when Congress added $2.5 trillion to the national debt with the The Coronavirus Aid,...

  • The Free Money Game: When Will Republicans Wise Up?

    Mar 31, 2021

    By Roger Koopman Every election cycle, you can count on Republican candidates promising to reduce the size and cost of government, and in general, getting government out of our businesses and out of our daily lives. Yet as every session of the legislature demonstrates, that pledge – for the majority of Republican lawmakers – has a distinctly hollow ring. Not unlike their Democratic counterparts, the GOP’s commitment to controlling government and reducing welfare dependency is highly selective. For their friends, the free money game conti...
