Stop the Nonsense! Nader Was/Is a Leader
Michael Sauers September 8, 2026 Ralph Nader had every right to enter presidential politics as an Independent and Green Party candidate. Anyone who says otherwise is a political bigot. Nader, who leaned D more so than R, was fed up with the duopoly that was/is the...
Reaction to Bloomsburg Press Enterprise Article, “Diving Into Data Centers”, Published Sunday, 9-6-26
Michael Sauers September 6, 2026 The article was interesting. I would like to point out several key points that need emphasis. A moratorium of at least 1-3 years is necessary. Why? It is going to take time to cut through all the conflicting information, effects and...

Smerconish, Impeachment, Pentagon, Gaza, Nuclear Power, AIPAC, Corporate Welfare and Public Education
Michael Sauers August 30, 2026 I think Smerconish practices unbalanced reporting. He brings on O'Brien, a PA data center developer and front man to talk up data centers but NO counter perspective. This is weak as water reporting. He is from PA and knows that there are...

Communities Must Regain Control of Future- The Right and Power to Say NO!
Michael Sauers July 6, 2026 Under a legal principle known as the Dillon Rule, local governments are "creatures of the State" and possess only the powers expressly granted to them by the State. This was first articulated in 1868 and was upheld by two U.S. Supreme Court...
Class Size Matters! Natural Gas Impact Fee Is Chump Change! Nuclear Power Waste Foisted on Taxpayers!
Michael Sauers June 29, 2026 In a June 25, 2026 Bloomsburg, PA. Press Enterprise "Editorial" the authors lampooned Berwick educators for what they consider to be "high" salaries/benefits. They are what they are only because educators unionized. Without teacher unions...
