Houlahan calls for ouster of Post Office leadership
U.S. Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-6) has seen enough.
Wednesday, she called for the ouster of of the entire leadership of the United State Postal Service (USPS), including its board of directors and Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
DeJoy has been increasingly under fire for operating changes he made to the USPS, which has lead to slower mail delivery and a higher percentage of mail and packages being lost...
Pa. GOP elected officials bear serious blame for the attempted coup
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times @mikemcgannpa
Sigh.
Our nation’s capital is an armed camp. Our state capital is an armed camp. Peaceful this Sunday morning, so far, thankfully.
Tragic, but necessary, as right-wing terrorists may be planning attacks in Washington, D.C. and in state capitals across the country because of a lie.
Donald Trump did not win the presidential election. There was no significant...
No peace, love and understanding, it is time for a reckoning

What happened Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol had the feeling of the inevitable if you were willing to pay attention.
Those of us who issued the alarm years ago were dismissed as having “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” We were ignored right up until the point where Donald Trump incited a riot and attempted a coup d’etat as Congress moved to certify the...
Hawley is a lying weasel when it comes to Pennsylvania’s election
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times @mikemcgannpa
New Year, same old lie.
I really wanted to write something hopeful about 2021, about how it would be a better year and that maybe some of the people acting like felon-trainees in politics and the local business community would see the light and start acting like reasonable human beings again.
Nope. New Year, same old @#$%.
You may have seen Donald Trump’s...
Not content with taking your vote away, apparently Republicans also want you to die
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times @mikemcgannpa
This was going to be a column about the non-trivial issue of politicians seeking to disenfranchise millions of voters literally because they didn’t like how the election went, but COVID-19, being COVID-19, the virus pushed itself back to front and center in the headlines again Thursday.
With cases spiraling — especially in the central part of the...
GOP members in Pa. legislature — again — want to throw out your vote
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times @mikemcgannpa
It’s been a month since Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump for the presidency — as it turns out by some seven million votes and more than 70 electoral votes, the biggest win by a challenger for the presidency since Franklin Roosevelt defeated Herbert Hoover in 1932.
And yet, too many seem convinced that somehow state legislatures, the U.S. Supreme Court...
Republicans screaming about ‘voter fraud’ know they’re lying
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times @mikemcgannpa
Rudolph Giuliani came to Pennsylvania this week for one reason: to lie.
State Sen. Doug Mastriano held a publicity event in Gettysburg — it wasn’t a hearing — for one reason: to lie.
President Donald Trump continues to rant and rave on social media (and now, during press conferences), gibberish about he actually won Pennsylvania. That, too, is a...
We will remember who is backing this coup
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times @mikemcgannpa
This madness is not just on President Donald Trump, who continues to to make ridiculously false claims about the election. This is not about Rudolph Giuliani, who went into federal court this week, literally seeking to set aside your vote in Pennsylvania, with crazed conspiracy claims untethered from reality.
Yes, they spew ridiculous conspiracy theories...
Trump, Pa. Republicans trying to steal an election they lost
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times @mikemcgannpa
In the last few days, Chester County has become famous — just maybe not in the way most of us would like.
In the fevered dreams of some, Chester County’s officials are part of a vast conspiracy to prevent Donald Trump from being reelected President. Social media is roaring — people from thousands of miles away lecture me on what happened in my home...
It’s time to stand up against GOP’s abusive relationship with America
