In our last general election only about 55 percent of people eligible to vote actually voted. This is significantly less than most of the world’s democratic countries. The right to vote is the most important cornerstone of our democracy . . . VOTE ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH!

In the past, whenever I would learn about a terrorist attack or shooting in some distant city, there was a tiny voice inside my head that said: “ How terrible ……………. I’m glad to be in Pittsburgh because it is safe.” Sadly, that voice is no longer there.

If there is a positive that we can take from the horrific shooting in Squirrel Hill on Saturday it was the swift and courageous action of our first responders. Police and EMS personnel most likely saved lives while risking their own safety.

The Executive Director of the Allegheny County Democrat Committee was forced to resign for a comment he made:  “I stand for the flag and kneel to pray.”  Need I say more?

The progressive left would like to see the North Korean talks fail. And yet, they complain about a divisive government. They don’t have to like President Trump but they should be in favor of peace on the Korean Peninsula.

Bucher, Baker, Candle Stick Maker………..Latest Supreme Court ruling protects religious beliefs.’ The language of the ruling also implies that people should treat each other with respect even when they disagree. Both are good messages.@AlleghenyConf

Mayor Peduto’s 4 year plan includes everything except recruiting companies & creating jobs. That’s the best way to find all the money he wants to give away. The city is still not addition population or growing the tax base. @BillGreen11
