Death Rattles

The final death rattles of the Joe Biden presidency have been heard as the inauguration of the 47th president will have occurred by the issuance of this edition of The Press. We have heard Joe Biden darkly warn us of an age of oligarchy that he believes is upon us. He also took credit for many accomplishments that, if true, should have buoyed his final dismal approval ratings, which stood at 36 percent. Finally, the nation and the world can look forward to an America that leads again. Happily, for some there has been a cease fire negotiated in Gaza ... by Staff Writer

A Warning

For those of you who have watched Netflix’s “Squid Games,” I hope your reaction was the same as mine: repulsion. I urge everyone to experience this allegory. The harsh lessons provided should deeply disturb (scare) all Americans regardless of their party loyalty. In a nutshell, the show displays South Korea, a once monetarily struggling country, today (and by what means). It has become an economic powerhouse. It is indeed a tragic tale. I was horrified by what I learned. Yes, this series is an ultra-violent production, but I made myself watch the full season. I need not watch season two. ... by Staff Writer

I am honored and excited to endorse John Leonard for Town Council in the upcoming special election to fill the vacancy left by Tommy John Schiavoni’s election to the New York State Assembly. John is that rare individual who possesses all the attributes we should want in a member of our Town Council: intelligence, strength of character, confidence tempered with humility, and a dogged determination to serve the residents of Southampton because of a genuine belief in the importance of public service. Professionally, John is a seasoned litigator whose skills give him the ability to analyze and assess all issues ... by Staff Writer
