Health of men merits spotlight this Movember

Editorials

Donate locally to Movember Men's Health. Over the past decade, a growing network of organizations has transformed the month of November into a hair-raising experience for a noble cause. In New York City, for example, Mayor Zohran Mamdani, now aka Mayor Mustache, has basked in the national spotlight this month as a symbol for the value of Movember, a monthlong awareness campaign targeting men’s health generally and prostate cancer specifically. Like legions of other men worldwide, he shaved off his signature beard to instead sport a growing mustache. To boot, he just announced a $4 ...

We're ruled by a man unfit for the job. He shows signs of mental illness and instability. His comments often are beyond comprehension. He mocked a heavy-set individual during his rally at the Covelli Centre but seems to forget that he is one of the most obese presidents (see Taft, Cleveland, etc.). How ironic that he pummeled Biden for his mental flaws. The new legislature needs to invoke the 25th Amendment and rid us of the most corrupt and incompetent president we have ever seen. — Boardman The election affirmed that it was a Trump-hating exercise. Had a piece of (expletive) been ...

GOP failed to make argument

Editorials

One week after the Republican midterm election debacle, questions about how it happened while sorting through the debris that left Democrats in charge of Congress, many governorships and state legislators will likely continue for some time. If the election had been solely about the many achievements of the Trump administration — from closing the border, deporting criminals and cutting taxes — Republicans would likely have won. Instead, Republicans fielded weak candidates, mostly picked by President Trump, who were subservient to his corrosive personality and need to be worshiped, ...

Monuments won't save our history, but saving our library will DEAR EDITOR: Kudos to Sculptor Tom Antonishak, Organizer Dr. Anthony Lattanzio, Mayor Tim Sicafuse, and the generous donors behind Poland’s stunning new President William McKinley statue. It proves what our community can achieve when we honor our heritage. Yet, there is a bitter irony here. In 1964, the historic Main Street home where a young McKinley lived was demolished. Today, that piece of our Ohio and American history is an asphalt parking lot, marked only by a sign. Now, we risk losing our library — the true ...

Color Democrat Socialists lily white

Editorials

Some interesting numbers: New York's 13th Congressional District, covering northern Manhattan and part of the Bronx, is 52% Hispanic, 23% black and only 14% white. Yet in June's Democratic primary, voters dumped five-term Rep. Adriano Espaillat, head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, for Democratic Socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier, a ditzy 32-year-old grad student at Columbia University. Here's the wild part. Mostly Hispanic areas went for Espaillat by about 15 points. Mostly black areas went for him, too, by 2 points. So how did he lose? Two ways: No. 1: The DSA turned ...

What has the government done to our freedoms?

Editorials

Does the government work for us, or do we work for the government? We pay its taxes, obey its laws and regulations, finance its wars and submit to its surveillance. We are told that all of this is necessary for personal safety, collective prosperity and national security. Yet the government has become totalitarian while individuals have become powerless. The very institution established to protect our natural rights has become our greatest threat. The Fourth Amendment protects the right to privacy by prohibiting unreasonable searches and seizures and requiring judicial warrants ...
