Congressmen pay price for anti-war stand

Congressmen pay price for anti-war stand

Jeff: McLemore, a feisty freshman congressman from Texas, butted heads with Woodrow Wilson on Feb. 17, 1916 over the president’s about-face toward the European war. Though surprised by the violent eruption of ancient antagonisms in 1914, most Americans took only a passing interest in the distant conflict. Above all, they wanted no part of the foreign feud, a consensus that produced the presidential pronouncement the United States “must be neutral in fact as well as name.” 02/14/2024 09:00 PM

Another gloomy February

Another gloomy February

Well, here we are in February already. I don’t know about all y’all, but I’m not a fan of this month. The weather fluctuates like Oprah’s dress size. It might be nice and warm one day and two days later it’s colder than an Eskimo’s toilet seat. There are a few holidays this month, but none that require roasting a turkey or decorating the house. I suppose some younger folks might celebrate Valentine’s Day, but in our home, after 43 years of marriage, we normally rejoice by sharing a Snickers bar and sipping on box wine. 02/07/2024 09:00 PM

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the tragic news of a small movie theater in Fort Stockton — a small town in West Texas — having to shut its doors just after 21 months of business. 01/24/2024 10:20 PM
