Many hands are dirty in slave history

The United Nations General Assembly, that playground for dictators, terrorists and supporters of terrorists, on March 25 passed a resolution condemning the Transatlantic slave trade by a 123-3 vote with 52 spineless nations abstaining including Great Britain, France and Portugal, all of whom imported millions of slaves to their Caribbean and South American colonies. Three nations voted no including the U.S., Israel, and Argentina. The resolution declared the “transatlantic” slave trade was the “gravest crime” ever committed against humanity. The resolution ...

Water issues no splash at SUNY

Fredonians and students alike can agree on one thing: something must be done about the water. As a member of both camps, I see a connecting thread between us. We all have a right to safe drinking water and we’re wasting time and money with our current infrastructure. The boil water advisories are hostile to all of us and in the words of Mayor Michael Ferguson, “this community would be a ghost town if we don't stop this”. We’re being shortchanged and our community — locals and students — doesn’t have to take it. We have faced the 10th boil water advisory in the last ...

Democrats are having an election

Editor's note: This column has been updated with a time correction for Saturday's debate. There hasn’t been much publicity about it, but the Democrats are having a Primary Election on Tuesday, June 23. Democrats are noted for being somewhat scrappy and independent-minded, so this should not be a surprise. As a matter of fact, having elections is a good thing. There are two individuals who are now vying for the Democratic nomination to run against our current Congressman in the fall election–Aaron Geis and Kevin Stocker. Since Geis is from the Southern Tier (Olean,) he might be ...

Rallies for peace bring vandals, violence

At an anti-ICE rally recently in Minnesota, a burly bully belligerently shoved a petite Hispanic woman from her blindside to the blacktop. This was after the woman was assaulted by an onslaught of screams, curse words and obscenities as unhinged protesters blew whistles and horns in her ears. The tactics the anti-ICEers do to ICE were despicably deployed on the traumatized female reporter merely observing, not engaging or even interviewing. For simply showing up, Savannah Hernandez of TPUSA suffered a concussion, after being body slammed by an angry man in a mean-spirited Antifa-like ...
