Abortion is a liberal leftist progressive invention

Because something is legal does not mean it's moral or right. Our laws are made by flawed man (sinners) whose motives are not always honorable. John Adams said, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

January 2019, New York state passed a law legalizing late term abortion that Roe v. Wade did not. Roe also rejected the idea of abortion as a basic, fundamental, or absolute right.

This new law removes protections for "born alive" babies (justifies killing them). It also makes it easier for Planned Parenthood to continue preying on children (they want sexuality education in school curriculum from K-12).  The "abortion industry" wants your children as cash cows with access through schools (captive audiences) and taxpayer funding of abortions. Religious and moral objections are ignored (good is evil/evil is good).

Pregnancy is not the disease liberals have programmed America to believe. It is a blessing intended by God for the benefit of the backbone of society, the family. Terminating a pregnancy out of "convenience" (abortion is not healthcare) is barbaric, godless, and selfish. Alabama State Representative John Rogers (D) exposed progressive thinking saying, "Some kids are unwanted, so you kill them now (abortion) or you kill them later (electric chair)."

Romans 1:30 talks about the "God haters" who "invent ways of doing evil." Abortion is a liberal leftist progressive invention to sacrifice children to their lust for power, money, hatred of God, and America.

Government has a right to know citizenship status of residents

If one needed any additional evidence of how biased and left-leaning most of the media is, it was to be found in last Sunday's column in the Pal-Item by the Editorial  Board of USA Today. In the fifth paragraph they accuse the Trump administration of wanting the citizenship question returned to the census in order to manipulate the census for political purposes.

Now, please give me one valid reason why our nation's government should not be entitled to know the citizenship status of those individuals who reside within its borders. It should be the government's right and responsibility to know if that individual is a citizen of the United States of America, a citizen of a foreign country, but residing in the USA for legitimate and legally documented reasons, or a citizen of foreign country residing in the U.S.A. illegally.

But the left hates first, the idea of the citizens of the U.S.A. knowing more about the number of foreign nationals illegally present in the U.S.A. and secondly, any move that would increase the barrier to voting by illegal residents.

The writer's paternal grandparents immigrated to the United States of America in June, 1873 and his paternal grandfather received his citizenship on Oct. 12, 1874.

Offices seem better than apartments for Elder-Beerman upper floor

After reading the Elder-Beerman building prospects, I thought it to be very unappealing and unfeasible to have people living on the second floor of that building. Also it would be a lot of work and expense to make apartments on the second floor. As it sits, there are no windows on the second floor and only south exits.

Another option would be to have that floor for office space, which would entail less expense and be more appropriate for downtown. This all would be good if not used for retail space, which would be the best.

After working in this building for 6.5 years, I am very aware of the layout of it.

Discussion of religion, politics now common

It’s been said, “Never discuss religion or politics.” It doesn’t seem that folks are remembering that. To me, it’s a little complicated. While expressing your opinion, some are highly criticized. It’s hard to keep your mouth shut when God gives us two ears and a mouth to talk.
