An Open Letter to Monroe County Republican Leaders: Bill Reilich must go
About a month ago, Republican leaders, elected officials, and petition passers received an anonymous letter outlining several issues that freedom-loving Republicans in the Rochester area have despised about our out-of-control county chairman, Bill Reilich. read story
Straight No Chaser: Marion Barry will be Mayor for Life
Some columns have been harder to write than others. I have literally sat down more than once to write about, and reflect upon, my personal feelings regarding D.C.'s late, great, mayor for life, Marion Barry. Many tributes have been given, and many words of truth and comfort have found their way to social media as well. But, what I wanted to avoid was duplicating anyone else's experience with this icon, because I have had my own to reflect upon. read story
Something to Think About: Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I pray that you had a great beginning to the New Year. The New Year is a great time for new beginnings. It is also a time when some people may decide to make New Year’s resolutions, and then find they have been unable to keep them before January has ended. read story

If we could find the time to sit down, break bread, spend time with, and familiarize ourselves with people who may have different religious beliefs, and pigmentation unlike ours; we just might be on the way to finding peace on earth. read story

A Wave of Common Sense may be headed toward Buffalo: Breaching the cult-like policies of local police
Recent national controversy regarding police chokeholds may be doing former Buffalo Police Officer Cariol J. Horne a favor. At least it stands to make things easier for Ellicott District Councilman and President Pastor Darius Pridgen. read story
