My frequent readers know that of the causes that I champion here in Albany, the choice to medically end one’s life if terminally ill is at the top of the list. There are two forms of medical orders that I completely support....
Whether you lean left or lean right, surely you’d agree that the members of our country’s military are heroes. That’s why I think that some Navy SEALs who are accused of sending racially-incendiary memes are not villains. Two members of the elite team are in trouble over some harmless memes....
Last week, I wrote about my biological daughter, whom I gave up for adoption in, I think, 2007 in Syracuse, New York. To be more precise, I happily signed away and all of my parental rights, freeing her to be adopted by her foster parents. At no point did I...
I have been running my own websites since 1994 and I first took up blogging in 2000. My blogs have evolved over time, but the vast majority of them have been taken offline for one reason or another. In the past, I have gotten trouble over the posts I’ve made...
Walmart is probably the most popular big box store in the nation. It is definitely one of the greediest stores. I’ve seen this firsthand as I used to work for the store. While there, I had access to a device that showed the current retail price and I could easily...
Reese Hogan, of the Crean Lutheran High School in California, recently lost a track meet. That in and of itself isn’t really news, because of course there will be a winner and a loser. But here’s the thing: she lost to a freak of nature. Yep, she lost to a...
Pope Leo XIV is wasting no time. He has already come out with some bold statements, statements that should show the world that things are going to change drastically in the Catholic Church. We need a pope who is bold, not a coward and who is ready to stand tall...
(The songs linked to in this article contain explicit language. The language used in this article might also be inappropriate to read in some places.) The name Nicole Aiello might not mean much to you, but you may recognize her nickname: Frankee. Still ringing no bells? In 2006, she was...
My recent Albany stories, including one about a teenage girl who got pregnant and who then was murdered, allegedly by the would-be father, and an article about a teenage girl who was killed when she failed to operate her ATV competently. Both girls played stupid games and won stupid prizes,...
President Donald Trump is a lightning rod for controversy and criticism, but not too many people want to hurt him for that. Of course, last year, Thomas Matthew Crooks, tried to assassinate Trump but he himself got a bullet to the head. And to be clear, my surname is Crook,...
It’s been a good and a bad month for Catholics. On the good side, we have a pope: Leon XIV took over and, thus far, he is moving at the speed of light to move the Catholic Church in the right direction. That’s the good news. The bad news? We...
Here in Albany, dirt bikes as well as ATV’s are a serious problem, serious to the point where local law enforcement agencies are seizing them. They’re loud and they’re dangerous. With that in mind, it’s hard to believe that teenagers in the area are still using them. A dirt bike...
Most religions are against abortions, but perhaps none more than the Catholic Church. I am of the belief that there is never an excuse for an abortion. Never. Abortion, in my opinion, is a form of murder and it cannot be tolerated. That is why I’m applauding a Georgia hospital...
Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a big fan of dance music in all its forms. I grew up in an eclectic household, so I was exposed to all types of music when I was a child and pre-teen. You name it, I listened to it, with a few...
Millions of people in the United States who have not paid off their student loans will quickly find that the federal government has them in its crosshairs and it’s a long time coming. People who have outstanding student loans will soon find their paychecks garnished, bank accounts levied and Social...
A couple of days ago, I published an article in regards to one Hannah Dugan. She is a judge who stands accused of aiding and abetting an illegal, allowing him to essentially slip out of her courtroom in an effort to allow him to elude ICE agents. In that article,...
Yesterday, I published an article about a teenage girl by the name of Samantha Humphrey, 14. She was killed back in 2022, allegedly by her sporadic boyfriend. The story goes that she thought she might be pregnant and that he was the father. Her pregnancy seems to have never...
It has been three years since I was baptized and confirmed into the Catholic Church. It was April Vigil of 2022 when that happened, and I haven’t looked back since. I was born into the Seventh-day Adventist church and remained involved with it until the summer of my ninth year....
Here in the Albany area, a murder mystery has been enthralling residents since 2022. Samantha Humphrey, 14, was strangled to death and up until now, a suspect was never taken into custody. Until now that is. The accused murderer is 17, so he is as yet unnamed. The suspect, according...
Today, I changed my party affiliation from none to Republican. Since January 20th rolled around, I’ve seen the many things that our fine president Donald Trump and his party and other allies have done for our nation. I can’t just sit back and pretend that I have no political preference. ...
