“Systemic” is not a common word in everyday conversation but often used when people discuss social issues. “Systemic” means being part of a system. As such, it’s rarely identified or questioned. It’s how things are done.

Let me get this straight. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy gives more than 40,000 hours of video from Jan. 6 to Fox News host Tucker Carlson — and only to Tucker Carlson. Not to PBS or NPR or CBS or any other network — nor to the public at large. Amazing!

I just noticed the price of one item that has not changed over the last two years. The price of bananas is still 39 cents a pound.

We, the ladies of Auglaize Bible Church, would like to thank the person who paid for our breakfast at Bob Evans restaurant on Harding Highway on March 8. Thank you again, and God bless you.

Once conservatives succeeded in overturning Roe, they needed a new issue to rile up their base. The “woke” culture is their new baby.

The Russian roulette game, it’s exciting, dangerous and daring. It kills you when you spin the cylinder, place the muzzle against your head and pull the trigger. It fires. There’s only one bullet in the gun. It could pass you by or kill you. It’s murder or suicide. (Thou shall not kill.)
