FOUND: a backpack outside the St. Pauly Textile shed at St. Margaret Mary Church in Apalachin. Owner please call 625-3124 and identify.  <\/p>\n

I would like to make a comment about the people not being able to pay their rent. I make it my priority to pay the rent first. Some of us can\u2019t and some of us can, but that has to be paid first then the rest of the bills and food come next because there\u2019s always food banks to go to if you don\u2019t have enough food. I grew up with nothing and I learned how to budget and I\u2019ve learned how to take care of myself. I learned how to can from my mother. I go to the food market where I get fresh vegetables and freeze them for the winter. It can be done if you watch what you are doing and watch your budget.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

The news headline is Andrew Cuomo should be apologizing to every resident of New York State for his terrible handling of the coronavirus issue. But no, Cuomo is doing it his way and pointing the finger at everybody else, blaming everyone else, holding himself unaccountable. The man will be defeated at the ballot box. He is no leader, never was and he belongs with Hillary Clinton, sitting on the back porch relaxing with a cup of coffee talking about all their failures. <\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

That was pretty interesting the other day on the news, a business was pleading to open their business so that they could endure and survive the COVID-19 crisis. I have no problem with that but the people coming in need to be prepared, and there you show people sitting at a table, their masks down underneath their mouth and their nose, and they are not eating food. So, if you can\u2019t obey the rules just while you’re having a meeting to get permission to open, I\u2019m not at all in favor of that because people aren\u2019t even following the basic rules and safety.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

I would like to know if the state is going to mow next to the roads. They are overgrown and they really need to be done badly.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

New York\u2019s dual monarchs, Bosses Cuomo and Blasio, want your guns. Cuomo\u2019s lackey, Attorney General Letitia James, has weaponized New York\u2019s legal system to harass and persecute the National Rifle Association. FOR WHAT END? Against whom did the NRA use gun violence? Have our buffoons nothing better to do? It\u2019s better to protect the public rather than unleash violent criminals on them just to buy votes? These court clowns should be protecting life, liberty and property rather than facilitating riot and destruction? New York\u2019s financial disaster deserves their attention. They should be taxing the rich even more? Let\u2019s defund their security entourages. Persecuting the NRA and creating the circumstance where taxpayers have emptied store shelves of guns is insanity. You can\u2019t fix stupid squared. <\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

For everyone who walks their dogs please realize, if you cannot stand on the sidewalk or blacktop without it burning your feet, then it’s also too hot for your dogs. Their dog pads burn as well. Please walk them in the grass. If it burns you, it burns them. Love to all dogs everywhere.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Regarding the wearing of face shields without cloth masks, could last week\u2019s caller cite a regulation, mandate, requirement or guidance that stipulates that cloth masks must be worn in addition to face shields? I am seeking an enforceable ruling, not a \u201cbest practices\u201d or advisory statement. Please reply to this column.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

I was told that the Town and Village of Spencer quit enforcing the trash and junk vehicle laws. The Town looks terrible with junk cars and trash everywhere you look. What is the matter with the Town and Village Board? I saw several junk cars cut in half along the road. What do we pay taxes for? <\/p>\n

The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air, and quickly fall on floors or surfaces.<\/p>\n

The Richford Historical Society wishes to thank everyone that donated, volunteered and shopped at our rummage sale. Your support is greatly appreciated!<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Americans are lonely, miserable and depressed – this is the legacy of our society that has rejected family, faith and patriotism. Belief in God is good for you and not just for the long run. There’s a powerful link between religious devotion and happiness, mental health and participation in your community.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Insanity – Cuomo, to the rich, \u201cPlease come back,\u201d because we need you to pay our exorbitant income taxes. de Blasio, good riddance and we will tax them more. Texas and Florida, \u201cWe have no income taxes,\u201d welcome, but don\u2019t be a Democrat. Amazon, glad you\u2019re here so we can shake you down. Amazon, \u201cPound salt New York.\u201d Cuomo\u2019s weaponized lackey Attorney General, Letitia James, is making a career by persecuting the National Rifle Association, while George Soros and the like enjoy immunity. Doesn\u2019t Cuomo [and de Blasio] have better things to do, like shake down President Trump for another state\u2019s taxpayer money so he can pay tribute to the teacher\u2019s union and other New York State public employee union pensions and healthcare? You, we, are going to pick up the tab for replacing the Holland Tunnel, which Cuomo and de Blasio have let fall into ruin. Do you hear that sucking sound from the South? Upstate is red and you will pay for it, just like in this year\u2019s OFA school budget. Cuomo won\u2019t apologize for causing the unnecessary death of so many seniors. This is not a good measure of a man. <\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

If you are refusing to wear a mask due to concerns your brain won’t get enough oxygen, I think that ship has already sailed.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

58,318 were killed in Vietnam in 10 years; 5,832 per year and 164,997 COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. in six months; 330,000 per year. So you\u2019re right  – it\u2019s wrong to compare them.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

The founding fathers explicitly separated religion and government. It is reflected in the no religious test clause in the main body and the first amendment prohibition of an official religion. They recognized through their personal experience that different religions existed and that everyone should be able to practice their own. The English had, and still have an official state religion, and the founders did not want to have that same limitation in their new country.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Senator Akshar. He has successfully misrepresented the bail reform law. By the way, check into how much money the jails are losing due the loss of boarding fees charged to other counties, and how much the bail bondsmen are losing. Do you suppose there\u2019s a connection?<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

I\u2019d try to explain what defunding the police really means but something tells me it is beyond the comprehension capability of too many people.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

The LEFT is the group showing disrespect for opposing views? Really folks? It isn\u2019t the left that screams \u201cAmerica – love it or leave it.\u201d That phrase is the epitome of disrespecting opposing views.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania COVID-19 cases are not skyrocketing, which is why they aren\u2019t on the travel quarantine list.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Since I’ve been furloughed from my job due to COVID-19, I have had the opportunity to walk around the Village of Owego. The word for 75% of it is squalid. I had heard code enforcement was supposed to inspect apartments. These places, at least from the outside, are not fit for human habitation. In fact, I personally know several chickens that are living better. A lot could be remedied with a little work and some paint, picking up trash and mowing to discourage rats and other vermin; using a few nails to repair steps and railings, then painting to help keep wood from splintering. What seems to be the issue with these landlords? Are they afraid if their place looks halfway decent the taxes will go up more than they already are? COVID is not an excuse; in fact, I would think, if landlords don’t have the time themselves, someone that is out of work should be willing to slap some paint on these buildings. If they look this bad outside, what are they like inside? Disgraceful! Shameful! Embarrassing!<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Consciousness: People these days have complaints for everything. I personally believe that as a society we lack appreciation for other people. Everyone has an innate desire to be validated in his or her thoughts and opinions. What people don\u2019t understand is that if you are going to seek validation, at least be open to other people\u2019s views and opinions. Whether right or wrong, people need to know that they are being heard. I feel as though, if as a society, we were better listeners and more receptive to others thoughts and feelings, we wouldn\u2019t have half the problems we do. We need to have more conversations about solutions, not pointing out the obvious problems. We need to have a more conscious society, we need people to be proactive with compassion for their fellow man, not react with disdain and judgment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

National Political Viewpoints<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you figured it out yet? Trump not only wanted to be the man in the White House, he wanted to be top notch in Hollywood. You know you\u2019re not seeing any new movies, you are seeing reruns of everything that was ever made way back when. Stop and think about it. That greedy guy, I can\u2019t wait to see the day he gets his due, and he will know. We all do.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is your daily reminder that we shut down America, impoverish millions, force businesses to fail and homeowners to foreclose over a virus that has a 99.96% SURVIVAL RATE and the democrats are demanding that we continue lock down for everyone but the protestors. Candace Owens spoke the absolute truth. <\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Aren\u2019t you getting tired of Trump and his shenanigans? The wannabe dictator who only gives money to Florida and Texas to try to buy their votes, and nothing to the states he knows he\u2019s going to get shellacked in – California and the New England states. What is wrong with this country? Isn\u2019t it supposed to be a country of one? This is nothing but a country of division anymore.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Question, what would happen if you or me ignored a subpoena? We would go to jail and be arrested. So why is it legal for Trump and his cronies who work below him to ignore every subpoena that comes along and say they don\u2019t have to. He\u2019s breaking the law right there! We don\u2019t have a dictatorship in this country, yet.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Joe Biden is a big joke! He is definitely not articulate or all there. Biden\u2019s Marxist socialist constituents are dumb. The probability of Biden going to the debates or even actively running for president is exceedingly low. I think he will bow out of both in some incredibly phony manner and retire to introspective obscurity, as he should. Go Trump!<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

To all of you out there who are referring to the Democratic Party as Marxists and socialists, you seem to be ignorant to what either one is. On the other side of the coin, Donald Trump is a horrible excuse for a human being and if you support him, so are you.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Trump not taking interest in COVID-19 months ago when it first started is the most colossal blunder in the United States history.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the difference between a wanna be dictator and Donald Trump? You know what the difference is? The word and. <\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Are you tired of the laughable Anthony Brindisi commercials? He\u2019s been nothing but silent throughout his term and now he\u2019s up for reelection and a typical democrat, he\u2019s trying to get your vote. Well, I\u2019m smarter than that.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t believe it! Portland said they will drop all charges against the looters and that the looters were only expressing their First Amendment Rights. Are you kidding me! That\u2019s a scary thought, but that\u2019s a democrat run city for you. Vote Trump; go republican always.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Joe Biden’s selection of Kamala Harris as his running mate is the most blatant example of discrimination I have seen. Prior to his selection, he determined his candidate would be a black female. Therefore, any male, Asian, Hispanic, Indian, or any other race other than Black, was not qualified to be the Vice President. So to employers, in your next help wanted posting, please include your preferred gender and race. Can you imagine the outrage that would cause?<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

In case you haven’t heard, Russia, China and Iran are trying to influence our general election. They ARE trying to get Sleepy Joe elected, rather than President Trump. What does that tell you? That ought to stick in your mind when you cast your vote.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

Don’t worry Mr. President; your legacy is secure. You will be the first American President to die in prison.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

I have to voice my opinion on the presidential election because I think there are a lot of people who believe that someone who doesn\u2019t have a professional bone in his body and is the epitome of a narcissist should be re-elected. He shouldn\u2019t and likely won\u2019t be re-elected. Even his staff is trying to tell Donald Trump that he shouldn\u2019t do and say the things he is doing and saying. He has told literally tens of thousands of lies, calls people names when he doesn\u2019t like what they say, and actually has the nerve to think that he is doing a great job. He has not done anything to assist with the COVID-19 situation, yet he claims that he has and that it is going to disappear. He has not supported the doctors and scientists who know much more than he does. It is his fault that Georgia and Florida are in the terrible state they are because the governors of those states are afraid of him and won\u2019t require masks to be worn. Never has the United States had a president who is so self-absorbed. He even had the audacity to say he wants to be added to Mount Rushmore. He has got to be kidding! He is not even close to being in the same league as the presidents on Mount Rushmore. He will go down in history all right, but it will be because he was the worst president in the history of the United States.<\/p>\n

~<\/p>\n

How is it that Hunter Biden told the court he could not afford child support payments because he was unemployed, but his $470,000 overdue income tax burden “disappeared” as if by magic, basically overnight? THIS is what we want in the White House, people involved with this kind of fraud, or related to those perps? I don’t think so.<\/p>\n

Senator Schumer, who doesn\u2019t know where upstate is and only cares about New York City, was in Owego Thursday to reiterate the need for federal funds to help schools get through the pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
