This week marks my 15th Anniversary as owner of the Telegram Newspaper. What an accomplishment for me and my family! Last year, I had this grand plan of celebrating my 15th Anniversary and the 75th Anniversary of the Telegram Newspaper. But the world had different plans. First there was COVID-19 affecting the entire world by shutting down the world and then there was the worldwide protest for justice for George Floyd who was killed by four police officers. I had a private celebration on Monday,...
With unrestrained vitriol and the stunning lack of leadership emanating from the White House on an almost daily basis, the ever-rising popularity of former President Barack Obama is unmistakable. The media and most of the American public hang on every word and watch every move Obama makes – many openly pining for the 44th president to "do something," "do anything," to provide some sense of normalcy and a renewed dignity to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

On top of him was a white police officer casually positioning hisknee across the neck of George Floyd for about eight ornine minutes.Other released videos now show that two other officers held down his legs and torso while another...

People engaged to be married now have more time to prepare for that great day coming when the two shall become one. Parents have more time to spend with their children now. Parents are once again in charge of 99% of their children's Christian & secular education. Parents have more time now for home Bible study classes and...
Let’s look at the riots of the last week. The cops have pretty much stood down and have taken a defensive posture. The protestors, though aggravating, have been fairly peaceful. The trouble comes from the professional agitators that come in and do the looting and burning. People such as Antifa and probably white racists. Both hell bent on using the protests to cause trouble. They have burned churches, banks and police stations and looted Target stores. Police superiors have told the police to s...
