    Our voting process is the best in the world! If you don't like it you are FREE to leave! In Russia, a standing joke is that the men running against him got 30% of the vote and Putin got 95% of the vote! 

    Was "the best" but many of us have lost faith after 2020. We also had the best political system in the world until it became a mere power struggle based on party spirit.

    "REMOVE LIBERALISM FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH." The goal of Vladimir Putin and every dictator in the world! This assures the only way to think is the Governments line of thought. You have no choice, no say or right to object to what your government is telling you to do. I am not a Liberal just a person that knows and values our Veterans sacrifice for everyones right to have a say and express their beliefs. What countries have eliminated the choice to be a liberal or conservative? Russia, North Korea, Iran, and China are just a few! What to live in a place where choice of Party or Political beliefs have been eliminated? Good luck! Putin wants you! He really likes Fox propaganda company and its delusional entertainers. Hate and conspiracy theories is their bread and butter.

     
     

     

    The part about "everyone's right to have a say and express their beliefs"- That is exactly what liberals (far left) want to take away from those who dare to disagree.

  3. I know that the bright LED lights that illuminate the downtown and residential streets are a big point of pride for our city management, but...

    https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/03/240325172425.htm  ""

    "Our study suggests that higher levels of exposure to outdoor artificial light at night may be a risk factor for cerebrovascular disease,"  "Therefore, we advise people, especially those living in urban areas, to consider reducing that exposure to protect themselves from its potential harmful impact."

    "Artificial sources of light include fluorescent, incandescent and LED light sources. Continuous exposure to these light sources at night can suppress melatonin production, a hormone that promotes sleep. This can disrupt the 24-hour internal clock in people and impair sleep. People with poor sleep, compared to good sleepers, are more likely to experience worse cardiovascular health over time, according to the study. The American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8 includes healthy sleep as one of the eight healthy lifestyle behaviors and health measures that drive optimal cardiovascular health""

    Unless we are using our streets as a landing strip, why not reduce the intensity? I would that most of the people impacted on our residential would agree. I would also bet that city management likely does not care enough to do anything about it. I guess they must see some advantage in producing residual light as far as Reynoldsville?? (No exaggeration)

    Aside from the health concerns, I would be surprised if most people find all bright white light aesthetically pleasing.

    City chief of police Blaine Clark has been placed on administrative leave. City council hasn’t released details simply stating it’s a personnel issue at this time. Shawn McCleary has been made interim chief of police. 
     

    Clark has been abusing power and stomping on peoples rights for quite some time now. Going to be interesting to hear the reason for his dismissal. 

    Chief Clark tends to be disliked by criminals.

    Hello--

     

    I'm hoping to find the old Juniata Elementary School yearbooks listed below.  My family didn't buy them every year, so I'm missing four books.  If you have any you're willing to sell (or could pass this message along to anyone you know who might)--or even loan me long enough that I can scan or photocopy the pages and then return them to you--please contact me here or at dubois95grad@yahoo.com 

     

    'Am specifically looking for:

    • 1982-83 (kindergarten with Mrs. Raybuck for me )
    • 1985-86 (3rd grade with Mrs. McNaughton and Mrs. Dodd for me)
    • 1986-87 (4th grade with Mrs. Zappia and Mr. West for me)
    • 1987-88 (5th grade with Mrs. Johnston, Mr. Vitello, and Mr. Morelli for me)
    • (I would love to see the 1981-82 yearbook too, but the other four are more important to me.)

     

    Thank you for your help.  :) 

    Perchance does anyone have or know where to find yearbooks from Highland Street Elementary School from 1982 thru 1989?

    Thanks for the link. I've been searching for that book for years. My son and I have a very impression fossil collection from the Highland Tunnel. He found a trilobite and I have several mold and casts.

     

    I've driven by the "pit" on Route 119 for many years and never once thought to stop there for a dig. We'll have to give that a try as well. I've been to the rail tunnel across the road, though, and it's not a very pleasant place because it's almost always filled with water.

    Where is the "pit"? That sounds interesting

    Which marxists/communists are you talking about? And how are they exploiting the transgendered issue?

    There may be a few of them around, but there are also right-wingers who support transgendered people. Most of those who speak out about the rights of transgendered people probably don't give two bits about politics. There are also Christians who support the rights of transgender people.

    https://www.hrc.org/resources/what-does-the-bible-say-about-transgender-people

    There has always been conflict between classes and groups, and some exploitation, not just by communists. And there always will be. 

    I think the best thing to do is just let transgendered people make their own decisions about their own bodies, and mind your own beeswax because it doesn't really affect you. Thus, no chance for exploitation. 

    The communist agenda has not changed, only the manner in which they attempt to fulfill their objectives has changed. God's law has not changed. Many of the truths are inconvenient in this world.  Man is trying to make man's version of Christianity.

    extreme? or different than what you would prefer?

    There is a difference, especially in a small country town mindset.  Areas like this are full of people that are not often open to anyone different than them. 

    You are arguing small town = small mind. Think about the irony of what you are asserting.

    If your talking about NeoMarxism then I consider that nonsense. Communism is dead. Stick a fork in it, it's over. Technological change isn't communism. 

    Do marxists/communists exploit conflict between classes and groups, or are they supportive of the trans ideology because they are compassionate?

    I don't support cutting up little kids. If you notice, I said the people I know who had surgery, had to wait until they were 18, as it should be. They also had extensive counseling. I was giving real life examples because you don't have any real life interactions from what I am reading. You just don't like the "idea" of trans gender and are letting it affect your peace. 

    I was saying that 25-30 years ago, there were no resources for the family to look at to find out what was going on with their child.  They didn't promote her being male, they continued to raise her female.  She told everyone to call her a male name and dressed male as soon as she could make her own choices in clothing.  They did not call her said male name. My point was, with the resources available today, she might still be here.  She may have had surgery to be male as an adult or discovered in the psychological evaluation that she did not wish to be male.  I bet you'd be surprised at how high the suicide rates are in teens and young adults with gender related issues.

    I think what is dangerous is people hearing or reading something extreme and touting it as fact to the rest of the world, as you are doing with this so called issue of slicing and dicing kids.  Do you know of any kids this has happened to?  

    I'm not even sure what your last sentence means.  I said I can ignore things I don't agree with and live my life in peace. I never said I ignore bad things so my life isn't complicated.  Don't rewrite my words.

    You have an extreme attitude against trans gender.  You think it is bad.  You are entitled to that opinion but it's none of your business who in your neighborhood or workplace may have had gender change surgery.  

    "You have an extreme attitude against trans gender". That would fit since transgenderism is extreme.

    Fedup, I think you and others on here want to live in a world like what we had back in the '70's, which is not going to happen because the world has changed too much. The Internet itself has made drastic changes in society and economics that are irreversible. That without going into changes in phone technology, automation, medicine, social attitudes among the young, etc. The 60's, 70's, 80's are gone, only to be revived in TV shows and movies. 

    No offense, but with your attitude you're probably lucky you probably won't be around to see what awaits in the 2050's, 2060's, 2070's. I'm sad that I won't. 

    We just want the self-destruction ideologies that are right out of a communist play book to end. So we use the limited platform we have to speak on what is self-evident.

    This country and all countries in Western Europe, as well as Australia, New Zealand and a few others have a mixed economy, which means they have some aspects of Socialism which co-exists with Capitalism. Sanders is a Democratic Socialist in the Scandinavian sense, and those countries have a very strong social care network and robust capitalism. I myself am fine with the mixture we have in this country. 

    A laisse faire capitalist economy would be nearly as oppressive as a communist one.

    In that paragraph Sanders says nothing about puberty blockers though I do think that all medical decisions for minors should be made by parents and doctors, and when it comes to transitioning, the kid, not the parent or doctor, should take the lead in deciding how far to go, as long as puberty blockers-which does affect bone density but not reproductive potential-doesn't damage the bones too much. If it does then regardless of how much the kid wants to continue taking the puberty blockers, the kid would have to stop taking them. If the kid wants to transition but the parents oppose it, well the parents may wind up with a child who will hate them and want nothing to do with them after they do transition as an adult. But that wouldn't be the first time that happened, wouldn't be the last. As Oscar Wilde once said, All parents are in time judged by their children. If the parents are lucky they will be forgiven.

    If you want to argue that this site has an agenda, so does The American Thinker. 

    """"puberty blockers-which does affect bone density but not reproductive potential"""""

    If you are talking about GnRH agonists (i.e. leuprolide), which are the most commonly utilized for this application, then there is published evidence of long term impairment of ovarian and testicular function even years after cessation of drug. Information can be found on Pubmed, Medline, UptoDate, or google.

    A half an hour ago at the softball field there was Herm and our newest interim acting city manager together. Maybe doing some plotting?

    He is either there on a social visit or it is work related. A social visit at the ball field in the AM in March seems unlikely. Therefore it must be work related which seems inappropriate while on administrative leave. Furthermore, would anyone concerned about their own accountability make themselves so publicly visible? I doubt it.  I dont think he is concerned. Which is concerning.
