Or is the city of Wilmington free to uphold justice regardless of the decisions of “the Court”? Is it in the name of “law and order” or “democracy” that we […]
“Anger and Cowardice Fester Hate”
To the Wilmington News Journal Wilmington, Ohio Re: (1 April, 2017) 3 April, 2017 Haters and Losers I think it was the curious title which drew my attention to the editorial: “Anger and Cowardice Fester Hate” (Wilmington News Journal, 1 April, 2017).

U(P)SA and Sanctuary Cities
How might our United (Pagan) States of America resist continued paganization? How about by means of “Sanctuary Cities”? And, let it begin with Wilmington, Ohio.

By What Standard, Feldmeyer?
10 Nov., 2016 I was glad to see Mr. Steed returned to service as a County Commissioner. He knows something about running a business and maintaining services within a budget.
