Jun 11 I don't care about you.

Deborah DiMicco

What message is Trump actually sending? He wants your vote. He will say anything to get it.

May 31
May 31 Trump is found wanting

Deborah DiMicco

Trump was tried by a jury of his peers, and was found wanting. Thirty four times.

May 19 Trucks and Trump's MAGA megaphone of misery

Deborah DiMicco

I could not help but notice the number of tractor trailers on the road; it seemed as if every fourth or fifth vehicle was a semi- truck hauling - stuff - stuff that was bought and sold, stuff that was being delivered to buyers, the stuff of commerce, the stuff of businesses humming along.

May 15 Mike Johnson: Trump's disciple

Deborah DiMicco

Johnson, this avowedly religious politician, is now clearly a disciple of Donald Trump, taking his guidance from the gospel of Donald as written in the eponymous Trump Bible

Apr 19 Violence begets violence

Deborah DiMicco

There has to be a way to ratchet back this  tit-for-tat, eye-for-an-eye bellicosity. It doesn’t matter who started it. It matters how we can stop it.

Apr 2
Apr 2 A fitting coincidence

Deborah DiMicco

It seems the version of the Bible that Johnson and his cronies are reading is missing a few important pages.

Mar 9 The Kitchen's the Thing

Deborah DiMicco

The kitchen motif was a blatant tell of the conservative Christian Republican party’s view of women and where they belong.

Feb 18 Trump: Sneaker con man

Deborah DiMicco

It’s time to just say no. It’s time to send Trump and his limited edition kicks to the curb. 

Feb 6
Feb 6 Don't look a gift horse in the mouth

Deborah DiMicco

This legislation could be a turning point, a rare moment of consensus to try to resolve the border crisis along with much needed aid internationally. Alas, that glimmer is dimming. Why? Because Trump doesn’t like it.

Jan 24
Jan 24 A stand for peace.

Deborah DiMicco

Israel has a right to exist. So does a Palestinian state.  It is time to weed out the extremists and to seek a peaceful  solution.

Jan 4
Jan 4 Impasse over compromise at the border

Deborah DiMicco

The border crisis is real, and that’s the way these Republicans like it.

Dec 30
Dec 30 When will the buck stop?

Deborah DiMicco

Trump is desperate to absolve himself of all previous wrongdoing and to avenge his perceived wrongs;  being President will allow him to do so.

Dec 28
Dec 28 Wage increases for Legislators, not for Pennsylvanians

Deborah DiMicco

Our legislators reap the benefits of yearly wage increases while the  state minimum wage has remained unchanged for 15 years.

Dec 12 The Helicopter Donor

Deborah DiMicco

Students, all students, Jewish, Palestinian, Black, Asian, gay,  trans, female, whoever,  ALL should feel safe on a college campus.

Oct 19 Shame on you, Brian Fitzpatrick

Deborah DiMicco

Your magical alternate universe “it’s not my fault” thinking is breathtaking in its disdain for facts and contempt of the intellect of those you represent.

Oct 15
Oct 15 "Shaping" of young minds

Deborah DiMicco

This “shaping” would leave young people  in no shape to discern anything beyond a one-sided perspective,  unequipped to develop their own opinions or point of view. 

Sep 25
Sep 25 Altruism lost?

Deborah DiMicco

Altruism is more and more absent from the Republican party.
