From Martinsburg:
So many of us suffered through a night or two of fireworks that, according to City Police, weren't happening. Whoever sponsored this event on Wilson Street certainly had the bucks.
From Martinsburg:
Over the last century, America has expended hundreds of thousands of military lives and spent billions of tax dollars, fighting fascism in foreign countries. Now, it seems that the fascists have conquered the Republican Party and control the White House, Executive Branch, House, Senate and Supreme Court. These anti-democratic zealots are stealing our God-given rights, liberty and freedoms. It's time for America to wake up from its reactionary MAGA-induced coma, and cut this Trump cancer out. God bless America.
From Charles Town:
After decades of adversarial ideology and conflict with socialist/communist countries, Trump expressed how those ideologies are anti-American and was condemned for being partisan. Ideologies that only work at the point of a gun are not to be allowed to flourish here. They are incompatible with our Constitution and the rights we enjoy.
From Charles Town:
Socialism sounds great. Lower prices are amazing. Blue jeans vary. Domestic brands at equivalent to $25-$50 USD and imported $62-78. The equivalent to a Big Mac meal, because they no longer allow McDonald's there, is $4.15. Gas runs from $3.40-$9.00/gal., depending on location. A gallon of milk is $4.75. These prices sound great, but their median annual income is only a third of ours. This means that their prices, per earned income, are much higher. Socialist economies cannot compete with capitalism.
From Martinsburg:
Even more than the green lagoon that used to be our reflecting pool, Donald Trump's crypto scam reflects the greedy grift which is his presidency. He made almost $700 million on the Trump memecoin, while nearly a million of his enthusiastic followers lost $3.8 billion. Once trading as high as $75.35, it’s now worth $1.76. The corruption is breathtaking.
From Harpers Ferry:
The Walmart in Charles Town needs to have more self checkouts open or have more registers open. Every morning, they only have four or five self checkouts open. It's ridiculous you have to wait when they do not have enough checkouts open.
From Kearneysville:
Gov. Morrisey’s latest comments in The Journal reveal he does not live in West Virginia. Rather, he lives in the state of denial.
From Falling Waters:
Potomac Edison is seeking a rate hike again. This is ridiculous. Tell the Public Service Commission to reject their request. They made over a billion dollars last year. This is total BS. Hell no!
From Hedgesville:
Thank you to all involved in creating the park and preserving the history behind the Hoke’s Run Battlefield Park in Spring Mills. A special recognition and thank you to Julia Gates of the United Daughters of Confederacy. Julia represents the Berkeley County chapter of a women’s organization that began the effort to preserve our county’s Civil War history over one hundred years ago.
From Hedgesville:
Congrats to Steve Catlett and the rest of the commissioners, Gary Gimble and the FWBA, Kevin Walker and the SVBF, Panhandle Builders and the many sponsors for all their hard work in creating the beautiful new Hoke's Run Battlefield Park in Springs Mill.
From Falling Waters:
At one time, in the not too distant past, the GOP had people that would stand up and call out corrupt politicians even in their own party such as Richard Nixon. It has turned into a party of Trump enablers who are afraid to stand up to Trump even if he is now a lame duck politician and at Nixon popularity levels. The question remains: How did a convicted felon with all his legal challenges get to be president?
From Ranson:
Why does everything happening in Berkeley and Jefferson counties seem centered around tax revenue? Has anyone considered how all this development may be affecting water tables? Has anyone thought about the residents and what quality of life will look like with this building invasion?
From Charles Town:
I’m genuinely curious why so many people move here from Maryland and Virginia but never change their vehicle registrations and always make a point of saying, “I’m from Maryland” or “I’m from Virginia,” like they’re embarrassed to live here. They come for homes at a fraction of the price, yet local housing costs keep rising. Many locals feel frustrated that the same politics and attitudes are being brought here, too.
