A Rubber Stamp

If you walk down the memory lane of politics, in 2019, you will be reminded that Tommy John Schiavoni was a candidate for the New York State Senate seat held by moderate Republican Kenneth LaValle. Currently, the Southampton Town Democratic Committee is portraying Tommy John as a “common-sense” candidate. However, Tommy John showed no common sense when his campaign put out a mean-spirited letter attacking LaValle. To quote Tommy John, from Dan’s Papers, November 19, 2019: “I don’t plan on attacking him. I don’t believe in contentious elections.” Really? That letter was quickly retracted, but, of course, the negatives were ... 23 Sep 2024 by Staff Writer

It's About Mercy

Christians, as a whole, make up perhaps the largest voting demographic in the U.S., but they don’t tend to vote as a united bloc and, in fact, are a source of great division in our politics over the issues of abortion, gun control and immigration. I believe it is because we have not really taken to heart Jesus’s teaching when he quotes the prophet Hosea in saying, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice,” and we support politicians who lack this mindset. It has greatly contributed to this quagmire we are in as a country, where everyone has locked their mindset into ... by Staff Writer

Fighting for Us

As a resident who cares deeply about our local environment, I am grateful for Congressman Nick LaLota’s leadership in protecting Suffolk County’s natural resources and addressing climate change. As co-chairs of the Long Island Sound Caucus, Congressman LaLota (R-NY) and Congressman Joe Courtney (D-Connecticut) worked together to successfully pass a bill to reauthorize the Long Island Sound Program, securing vital funding for the Long Island Sound and the Peconic Estuary, ensuring these treasured waters are preserved for generations to come. LaLota has earned bipartisan support for his legislation to protect Plum Island, an irreplaceable environmental gem, and passed an amendment ... by Staff Writer

Partisan Rhetoric

Lately, the news is awash with Democratic Party rhetoric on the existential threat to democracy that Donald Trump represents. There is no wonder there have been two assassination attempts in as many months. When the right uses inflammatory rhetoric, it is an existential threat; such attribution is summarily dismissed when heard from the left, and the compliant media bows in supplication. Remember Chuck Schumer telling Brett Kavanaugh he’ll “pay the price” for rolling back abortion rights? While the left laments that decision by the Supreme Court, few acknowledge that it handed them the midterm elections. The court put the decision ... by Staff Writer

Stop Ignorant Talk

I am very annoyed and tired of hearing the lies about “month nine abortions.” Please read my mother’s story. The year was 1952. One night at dinner, our parents came to the table all silly and laughing. I asked, what is the joke, please tell us? My mother got red in the face and explained to her three children that in a few more months we would be four children. We were getting a new baby. I was 12, my sister was 7, and our baby brother was just 2 years old. We were all delighted by the news. A ... by Staff Writer
