I really cannot fathom why they are trying to come up with all this stuff to spend money on right now. Like for example this new monument.. there should be a spending freeze for many reasons right now.. but no let’s just find more things to spend on.. sure they say grants pay for it.. does the average person know that grants don’t cover everything? Lots of grants are matching grants. So the city still has to spend money. Of all the times.. now is not the time to start spending more. Not until this city has answers, is done with the court crap, and we see how things shape up. the manager was quoted as saying something along the lines of 2026 will be tough with tax raises but you will save in the long run.. false.. once a tax increase is made.. do you really think they will do anything to lower it? Or will they enjoy having the money still coming in to pay for more ridiculous projects no one wants?

Mark my words, this merger will never see a tax decrease and will end up costing all more money! The corruption will run wild.

Just remember...we're still paying for the flood walls from the 1936 Johnstown Flood. Gov't just baked it - hid it - into another tax bill, and here we are today...

And that’s a perfect example of what I’m trying to say. I may not word my thoughts the best.. but that’s it.. why on earth would and should we be taxed for the flood.. can’t tell me that hasn’t been paid off yet.. but everyone got comfy with the income and after time people get used to the rates and it just stays that way for the rest of time.

Supposedly our country has been being infiltrated by foreign spies who are waiting for orders to act. On what? Who knows. Everyone better hope that ICE is also in our midst and knows who they are. Pray for our ICE agents and the military who are ordered to work with them. I'm sure they are not feeling good about being in the middle of this mess. How they sort out the immigrants from the citizens is probably very complicated. The immigrants can do anything they please, but the agents are under serious pressure to do nothing unless attached. I would not want their job, but we better hope they love theirs and will do a great job!

Just my opinion: Give all of Trump's economic policies a chance. 2020-2024, in my mind, is where the affordability crisis came from. Yes, I'm a working man. I see positive signs. I believe 2026 will bring good things to the economy. If I'm wrong, anyone who wants can say 'I told you so' and I'll take the heat. I'm just tired of the MSM, the unscrupulous (on the left and the right) twisting facts and manipulating data to gaslight and fear monger.

Any document signed by Sleepy Joe with the Autopen is hereby TERMINATED!! ( Donald J. Trump - Nov 28, 2025, 2:37 PM ET )

And once again, how is the free Obamacare working out for everyone,?

Exactly. It all comes to down to big insurance and big pharma.. people who aren’t doctors sitting in positions of power hand cuffing doctors and nurses unless it’s something that will make them money. now, do I think the government should be able to control what a private company charges? Absolutely not, government overreach is out of control to begin with. but at the same time… pharmaceutical companies are out of control. The medical industryperiod is out of control. maybe if trump (or any future leader) stood up and said enough is enough. If you keep doing this then we won’t fund you.. that may work? But wait. The government will NEVER DO THAT.. because you know, they make money also.. Screw saving lives! how about all these people in comas, and after a couple days the doctors say there’s no hope. Pull the plug.. that’s complete BS.. they want the organs to make more money off them. How many stories are out there of people being told to pull the plug there’s no hope, and it turns out to be a happy ending? good job Steve. You touched on a sensitive subject for me haha I could go on and on about my destain for healthcare

Just because someone has thick accent doesn't mean they can't speak English. Many of these immigrants do study English as a second language. In you travel with the us or meet people from other parts of the country, local accents, dialects, and slang can make verbal communication interesting. Might as well be from 2 different countries. At a conference, I once listened a guy from New Orleans get into a discussion with my friend from the Boston area. Definitely sounded like different countries. Locally, way too may sound like they learned English from watching Rocky movies. Incorrect word usage, poor sentence structure, mispronunciations, inability to string 2 or more coherent sentences together, etc.

Don't EVER grow up....that's why you've reached 78 years old.

Oh, everyone has been so good to me today!! We went to Portage to have our family Christmas with almost all of our family. The turkey was stuffed, and now, so am I!! I am 78 years old, and hopefully I'll grow up soon! Thank you!

Obama : "He's guilty....it's not a question"

"Ilhan Omar is garbage" Trump is always RIGHT!!

Kristi Noem absolutely OBLITERATED Democrats to their faces today ...

Flashback to 1956: You'll probably recognize some faces and names from this photo of the 1956 DuBois Area High School Track & Field Team.

I agree with you....many of these far-lefties will pay dearly for their ideology.

Senator Kennedy on Somali fraud in Minnesota

It was a flop full of lies when they started talking about it. It became a bigger lying flop when they printed the thousands pages of rules and today it stands as the biggest lying flop the libs ever invented.

LOL Just a little rant. I had to be somewhere at 3 today to purchase an item before he sold to someone else. I had gotten the call while I was waiting for my Granddaughter to get out of school. I told him where I was and he said I will wait until 3 and then I am selling it to this other guy. I picked my Granddaughter up at 2:42 I managed to get to his place by 3:01 luckily as it was only 10 miles from my home. Now the point to my story. As I am sitting in the parking lot to pick her up a car pulls in and parks right in front of my truck. Now normally not a big deal I am not in a hurry but today I was and watching some of these people park at this school is hilarious to say the least. I get in my truck and just blasted the horn and yelled move your car. well needless to say he did but I scared a lot of people by doing that especially the morons who walk down the middle of the parking lot because they are to stupid to realize that 2 ton vehicles drive through there. I mean move over to the side and not walk three wide through the area to get to your car. They do this everyday and like I say normally I just laugh and think that common sense has gone out the window on some people in Brockway. Today was a different day and I was anxious and needed to get moving slowly through the parking lot but I wasn't going to sit there waiting for this guy waiting for who knows how long for whoever. At first they had parked right at the bottom of the stairs where the kids and parents walk. Umm duh! There is lots of parking spaces use them. So I am sure I am now the ass of the school which personally doesn't bother me to much. I would rather be the ass than the morons who can't park or walk properly. If you are from Brockway and you are offended by this post then I guess you are one of them. Rant over.

Living in a small town has it's pluses. I am talking about what I seen in Panama City Fl. Every day. 50 plus cars wrapped around every block that had a school plus the empty school buses. Kids running around everywhere Just never made any sense to me.

Once upon time our tax dollars paid for big yellow buses to cater to the needs of students coming to and from school. The buses are still there pretty much empty but our tax dollars have not been reduced.

Every time I see a rag wrapped around a head I automatically see planes flying into our buildings. How does people dismiss facts so easily?

You were stressed. Just take it as a reason to sit and talk to God for a while about it. It's somewhat normal for this to happen, but we're supposed to learn new ways of dealing with it. It's all of us, not just you.

In hindsight I could have gotten out of truck walked up and politely asked if they could move. Today was an irritable day though. No more butter on my popcorn when going to the movies. All four of us had let us just say abnormal intestinal problems. Mine had just waited till the next day to hit. I know there is no excuse and I have been trying to be nicer but personally after watching no common sense people day after day my niceness had been worn out.

I'm almost 78 years old and have been hearing this same story for as long as I can remember. Yet Sandy Township is amazing for how it has grown. They seem to be way ahead of the game and I don't think it was all about available land. Everything they grew was on the outskirts of the business area and had to fight to get permission for water use. They grew anyway. DuBois never seems to grow much and it's NOT about land. It's about the business world is handled there. There is no sense of entrepreneurship, pride in development such as Ed Tate has shown. Very few businesses are driven enough or have the knowledge of HOW to grow if they try. If they make a living, then they are content. Also, I don't think they have ever hired a good developer with skilled experience. If they were serious, like Julie Stewart is, they would be working on every corner of available space and finding ways to use the second floors of the downtown area. I had a business there and we did all kinds of improvements to the building. Desert Storm put the end to that but the building went from unusable to fair condition because I invested pretty much everything back into it while I worked at Wendys on the Boulevard and raised 4 teens. I sold my share for about 300% more than I paid. I was going to start on the second floor so I could rent it out, but everything conspired to stop me. I was worn to the bone but at least I tried and used some determination. DuBois should show more initiative doing improvements to their businesses and less to ignoring problems and depending on raising taxes. That never builds anything!!

I would rather pay the extra taxes and not have to rely on the State Police. They would either be over-used or problems that were resolved by our local police would be underserved. Also, with the way terrorists have been infiltrating the United States, the more local police the better. ICE needs locals who are familiar with the people they are serving and who are the real problems, not an officer who doesn't know who he is dealing with.

Not having a police force would save a ton of money. Hempfield Township: Located in Westmoreland County, this is the largest township in the state with a population of 43,000 that does not have its own police force and is served by the Pennsylvania State Police. Hempfield recently voted to raise taxes for the first time in thirty years.This increase will double the current millage rate from 3 mills to 6 mills for 2026, with the additional revenue intended to fund the fire department. The original 3 mills will then be reallocated to roads and general operations. A final vote on the budget is scheduled for December, and a rebate program is expected to offset the increase for eligible seniors. This is expected to double the tax bill for most homeowners. a home with a median property value of $335,500 would see an additional $167.75 in annual taxes.

YA BABY. The greatest thing ever. This is what happens when the Liberals take over.

Isn't it sinking in yet? The ACA, Obamacare, whatever name you call it-It was designed to fail, not to be sustainable. What the goal has always been is socialized medicine. They still clamor for it, it's just the way that you get the people to accept it is to make anything else unaffordable to the working class. Julian Assange stated that when all is exposed, 98% of Washington DC will fall. Please God, I pray that 98% of Washington DC falls!

Basically, rail is currently a slow and cumbersome way to travel. The automobile and airlines are simply more time efficient. And costly. Travel may be ok on express trains between major cities. Once trains stopped in almost every city, town, and village. No more. Not worth it for a couple of passengers. I am suprised Tyrone still has a stop. If I can drive somewhere in 8hrs or less, why take a train that will take 12 to 16hrs? I like trains. Someday I hope to travel across country by rail. As for now, if I want to travel to California, I am flying. Amtrak sucks for financial reasons. It cant make enough money to fund its own existance. Unless rail travel becomes more accessable and pratical or glamorous, which takes money, rail travel in the US will never become the preferred means of travel.

This is not correct. Other countries do not pay tariffs. We pay tariffs. The logic behind tariffs is that companies will keep their businesses and suppliers inside the United States by penalizing purchasing things from outside the US. Except we cannot build our own suppliers to scale, if at all, in the amount of time required to make this actually work. Which it will never work because no matter how much we may like to, there are some things that just can't be manufactured or grown here. Pennsylvania can't grow bananas or coffee. Is there tariff revenue? Absolutely. But it is coming from our pockets.

Eat an egg or more a day. They are a perfect food, not a problem as long as you eat them without the food additives of excess salt, mayonnaise, butter, toast, and other stuff added to them. Eggs are a perfect protein meant for our bodies just as they are. I eat almost a dozen a week and the doctor is amazed at my cholesterol, but then I only eat Arnolds Seeded Keto Bread with the best butter I can buy with them. Over easy with liquid yolks cooked on low heat or hard boiled. Never fried hard which are the ones to avoid. I enjoy food but at almost 78, I'm trying harder to eat better. Much more lean protein, much more salad (with no dressing, just quality pink salt which I am usually borderline low on, a lot more fresh fruit and as few carbs and chemicals as possible, with good vitamins and only well water and one cup of real coffee to sip on all day. I make a coffee drink with it and it's very satisfying. Excellent sleep is also a priority.

You are having entirely too much fun with your chickens! Aren't the simpler things in life so much better? The eggs are so much better too!

Her description of how this voted for government has operated for years is spot on. Trump shot his foot off. He shot his other foot off when he kissed the New York blathering idiots azz

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL JUST DROPPED — AND IT’S HITTING DEMOCRATS HARD A flood of newly released Epstein-related emails just detonated in Washington — and despite Democrat attempts to smear President Trump, the blast has backfired spectacularly. Here’s what unfolded: Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer just accused Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin of coordinating with prison officials to leak confidential attorney–client communications. Those prison officials have now been disciplined — confirming something seriously wrong took place. Moments later, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced she is appointing Jay Clayton, acting U.S. Attorney for New York City, to investigate Democrats’ ties to Epstein — and determine whether any crossed into criminal territory. Why? Because the newly released emails barely mention Donald Trump — but they heavily implicate Democrats. This time the old projection game won’t work. The “blame Trump” smokescreen has collapsed. Pam Bondi’s move signals something historic: The DOJ is now treating the Epstein cover-up like a grand conspiracy, similar to how federal prosecutors pursue organised crime and drug cartels. The tide has turned — and for the first time, the political protection around Epstein’s network is starting to crack. Big names are now officially in the crosshairs.

I'm 117% sure that Trump & his admin have already audited Hospitals & Heath Insurance companies!! Trump knows exactly what is going on!! EVERY HOSPITAL and MOST DOCTORS ARE CONTROLLED!!! Doctors can not prescribe or even give advice for medicine that is not on THEIR LIST. Including Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine and many NATURAL MEDICINES that actually cures your illness instead of taking THEIR Medicine which prolongs your illness and you are actually taking that prescription FOREVER!!

Yep, that's called Brain Washed and/or Mind Controlled. We got to thank the MSM for all of that!

I'd rather have her REAL close to me instead against me!!

I would rather have her with me instead of against me.

GET IT DONE! All 50 states must abolish property taxes. >>> IT'S A COMIN'

I’ve been involved with many “sale of assets”. Usually the money is pissed away in a few years and when it’s all gone you have nothing left to sell. I can see “ DuBois “ buying all kinds of things and then crying by poor when things go south. I’ll be long dead by then but “seller beware”.

Just go in and sit in a folding chair with arms. They will do the rest.

Here are some good ideas, but what about running an electric cord just for the coldest season? https://www.bing.com/search?q=Non-electric+chicken+waterer+for+the+winter&form=ANSPH1&refig=691240757e6c4f7a935a950a1604e507&pc=U531

The new lights are definitely something that's gonna take some getting used to. I personally like the solid green arrow for left hand turns. Although when I see the yellow left turn arrow flashing, I know to slow down, stop if I have to, and proceed only when its clear to do so.

Let's wait to pick a name until Union, Huston and Brady Townships are part of the package!
