What’s next? Working with, and looking out for, one another.
Dan DeWalt, a frequent contributor to these pages and one of the founders of this newspaper, writes that if he didn't love his country, he "wouldn't spend so much time trying to get it to live up to its purported principles."...
Please keep showing up
WILLIAMSVILLE-Trump's hideous address to Congress is a reminder of how much we have to lose and how important it is to keep up our work to stop his power grab. This is hard work. There will be times when we feel let down by people who haven't yet joined...
But we can act
We must turn to one another and work together to advocate for a better vision of what this nation might become
Dan DeWalt, a frequent contributor to these pages and one of the founders of this newspaper, writes that if he didn't love his country, he "wouldn't spend so much time trying to get it to live up to its purported principles." WILLIAMSVILLE-The IOB (insecure orange bully) has roared out...

The Dems have no one but themselves to blame
Dan DeWalt, a frequent contributor to these pages and one of the founders of this newspaper, writes that if he didn't love his country, he "wouldn't spend so much time trying to get it to live up to its purported principles." WILLIAMSVILLE-In the aftermath of the victory of the felon, Democrats, searching for a scapegoat, are looking everywhere except in the mirror. To be sure, a sensationalist heavily partisan media spun, obscured, and lied their way through the election campaign,
What you left out
WILLIAMSVILLE-You inadvertently left out some important historical quotes that give context and credence to what I wrote in my letter. To wit: The Zionist founders were well aware of what they were doing. To quote just two of them: Vladimir Ze'ev Jabotinsky: "[It is the] iron law of every colonizing movement, a law which knows of no exceptions, a law which existed in all times and under all circumstances. If you wish to colonize land in which people are already...
Response chooses myths over facts, dismisses other points of view
WILLIAMSVILLE-Mark Treinkman responded to an opinion he didn't like by belittling its author, questioning the legitimacy of its points, and offering his own more "scholarly" opinion as a substitute. He advocates for "knowledge and context," so let's try to apply some to what he wrote. Mr. Treinkman correctly reminded us that Jews have lived alongside Arabs in Palestine for centuries. Jews and Arabs, in fact, coexisted with minimal friction between them for a very long time. It was only when...
Let’s look the entire truth in the eye
Dan DeWalt, a frequent contributor to these pages and one of the founders of this newspaper, writes that if he didn't love his country, he "wouldn't spend so much time trying to get it to live up to its purported principles." Tim Wessel's Viewpoint chastising Vermonters who are advocating for a ceasefire in Palestine was grounded in half-truths and speculative musings. The most astonishing error was the statement that "this war" started on Oct. 7, 2023. The October attack is...
Newfane can send a message to lawmakers about need for ceasefire
Town Meeting voters in Newfane will be debating a resolution that calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and calls on the Vermont Congressional delegation to support Sen. Bernie Sanders' Resolution 504, currently tabled in the U.S. Senate. Resolution 504 calls on the State Department to certify that U.S. weapons are not being used to commit war crimes. If the State Department cannot certify that within 30 days, then the arms shipments must be stopped. U.S. weapons and ammunition are...
