The Republican Tax Plan is a total scam and will only benefit the very wealthy. It will be a huge transfer of wealth from the middle class to the upper class. Their plan makes permanent tax breaks for the wealthy and ends what little benefit there is for the other taxpayers by 2027. This plan will add an estimated $1.5 trillion dollars to the deficit. Increasing the deficit sets up the situation so they can justify cuts to programs that benefit everyone. Think your Medicare and Social Security are safe? Think again, these programs will be cut....

The internet as we know it is in danger. Ajit Pai, chairman of the FCC and former lawyer for Verizon, seeks to end net neutrality regulations. On Dec. 14, the FCC will vote on Ajit Pai’s proposal to end rules classifying the internet as a utility. However, many of Americans are unaware of these regulations and how they benefit from them. If we intend to keep the internet as it is, we must first know what net neutrality even is. We must know the main argument against net neutrality and most importantly, why it is important. Net neutrality, or op...
Little things. A hair brush. A bottle of dishwashing liquid. A toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste. A roll of paper towels. Just a few disposable diapers. A box of facial tissues.

All items will be given to the Valley County Food Bank. Also being sought as well are coupons for food items. This isn’t just an Advent project, though, for this little country church. It is a...
Once upon a time candidate Trump said he wanted to raise taxes on the extremely wealthy, lower taxes on the middle class, and not raise the deficit. Of course the conservative base loved the idea, especially the blue collar workers who thought they had been left behind by elitism. Unfortunately that did not happen. Last week Republicans, including fiscal hawks like Rand Paul and others, voted to decrease taxes for corporations, pass through businesses and increase the deficit by over $1.4 trillion. They are offsetting the true cost of those...

Pulling the fragrant golden loaves from the oven, thoughts of long ago flooded my mind. Mary, my silver-haired neighbor, had suggested that I reserve potato water for bread making. It does lighten up the dough, and I’ve been doing it ever since. This lady with her ability to mix nonsense with common sense, surely brought a lighthearted dimension to my lonesome bride’s life. A gravel country road named Turkey Track separated our farm houses, enabling us to visit frequently. Many times we met at our cluster of mailboxes. If a certain mag...
If you have listened to the news in recent days, you have no doubt heard about all of the North Korean conflict, which in turn has prompted the State of California to implement safety drills in schools. How many of you remember having similar drills in your local schools during the 50s? My history is a little hazy, but was that during the Korean War? Regardless, there are some of you that will remember scrambling under your desk at the sound of the alarm. I have it pictured like the fire drills we used to do; only without the nice orderly...
