So many of the columns that I wrote years ago in The Post-Star relate directly to issues the community is facing today.

Pick up a copy of The Last American Editor, Vol. 2.

We need to remember we're the `Land of Hope and Dreams' Republicans follow Stefanik's lead and discourage holding town hall meetings

When people talk about immigration, they need to remember that #America is still "the #landofhopeanddreams." Ask #BruceSpringsteen.

There may not be a small newspaper in the United States which was challenged over a 20-year period as much as The Post-Star in Glens Falls.

It's all there in my The Last American Newspaper.

Trying to figure it out during a long drive History Day event planned in Warren County for Oct. 13

Late last night, buoyed by the Yankees victory over the Red Sox, I sat hunched over the keyboard and debated whether to post this column today. I just wasn't sure what I was saying, but maybe that was the point.

Do we ever completely know the people in our lives? Newspapers, newscasters need to give context to President Trump's crimes

Democrat, farmer Gendebien things he has a chance Ethics Board appearance in Queensbury draws over a dozen for workshop meeting

Over the years, I got to interview many fledgling #congressional candidates. The most important thing it that they believe they are going to win. Blake Gendebien, the farmer from #StLawrenceCounty, definitely has that.

BONUS: Qby board politicizes Ethics Board proposal Executive order characterizes protest groups as `terrorists'

#Queensbury #TownBoard members Tim McNulty and Michael Dixon showed their priorities when they insisted that any review of an #Ethics Policy change not be considered until after the November election. The #EthicsBoard ruled on the complaint seven month ago.
