The Mamdani latte

Wilson County News ·

2025/11/11

“Put a little extra caramel on that latte,” I told the young woman at Dunkin’ Donuts. “If you know what I mean.” “Sure,” she said, drizzling a little more caramel on the mountain of whipped cream that topped my decaf white chocolate latte. Maybe she didn’t know what I meant. Maybe she did. She was a perfectly nice woman with a slight Hispanic accent, and she’s no doubt used to the whims of older guys in plaid flannel shirts and tweed caps. I’m the color of the whipped cream. She’s the color o...

The government shutdown that Democrats love

Wilson County News ·

2025/11/11

One big word worth learning is “schadenfreude.” Schadenfreude is “pleasure derived by someone from another person’s misfortune.” Nothing better captures the perverse pleasure that Democrats are deriving from the pain inflicted on our country caused by the government shutdown. Democrats precipitated this shutdown to force Republicans to back off efforts to turn around our suicidal growth of government spending and debt. House Republicans passed a continuing resolution ready for the president’s...

After leaving church on Sunday, let's do some sharpening

Wilson County News ·

2025/11/11

This week’s thought is taken from the parable of the lad with a dull ax, from Timothy Merrill. Once upon a time, a long time ago, a young man approached a logging crew in the verdant and forested woodlands of British Columbia. He was looking for work. The foreman asked George, for that was his name, if he could fell a tree with an ax. He had never chopped down a tree before, but how hard could it be? With nary a syllable out of his mouth, he lumbered over to a nearby blue spruce and felled it...

2025/11/11

Editor: Re: “Hiding the facts on hunger,” Nov. 5 I take issue with the “Hiding the facts on hunger” letter in the Nov. 5 issue. The author states that they have testified in Washington and Austin for federally funded nutrition programs. I am disturbed that the author is more than willing to reach into my pocket for more money. Already one in 8 people get SNAP benefits. How many more should get them? How about this — non-citizens get removed from the SNAP list, maybe means test the benefits? I...
