Schools in Lancaster County are slated to receive about $15.4 million in one-time, emergency federal funding because of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
This boost comes from the federal $2 trillion COVID-19 relief package that was passed back in March. (The detailed release can be…
Being from the South, I feel blessed for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that there is no state personal income tax or state corporate income tax where I’m from
So imagine my shock to find out that on top of outrageous and unfair property…
Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed a bipartisan telemedicine bill that would have expanded telemedicine options in the Keystone State, siding with Planned Parenthood and pro-abortion zealots.

The School District of Lancaster touts itself as a beacon of diversity that benefits “immensely from the wide variety of perspectives, background and cultures represented by our students.”
But the truth is it’s a massive and failing transfer of wealth from working people and homeowners, and it’s about as diverse…
Wha ?? Don’t you mean “the Pursuit of Happiness?”
Well, no. What was originally written by John Locke in the seventeenth century and served as the basis of the well-known phrase in our Declaration of Independence, was that governments were instituted to secure people’s life, liberty, and property. Three legs…
It’s a constant source for amazement just how heavily taxed Pennsylvanians are.
I went through trying to outline how much every Keystone Stater is hit, and even my eyes glazed over at the sheer volume of taxation. And despite a combined tax burden of up to 45%, most working…
One of the key indicators for Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf in his rolling re-opening plan is the number of new cases and the number of deaths from the virus, but something is way off on the numbers and reporting.

One must always look for silver linings, and one of the silver linings of the COVID-19 pandemic is a pause in the insane level of refugee resettlement into Lancaster County.
About a month ago, on March 17, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Organization for Migration…
If a town is regularly mistaken for a “Sanctuary City” for illegal aliens, it might be doing something wrong.
When you have to go on television to explain, no, we’re not, we’re a “Welcoming City,” like the Lancaster Mayor Danene Sorace’s assistant had to in February, well you’re really…
Conservatives are calling for Gov. Tom Wolf and state health officials to order Planned Parenthood to halt abortions in Pennsylvania amid the coronavirus pandemic.

We all want this virus and the public shutdown it has caused to be over, for any number of good reasons. We care about the health of our families and friends. We want to get back to work, and back outside. We need an end to the national nightmare that…
President Donald Trump called this week for a suspension of immigration into the United States due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and yet Pennsylvania agriculture officials say they hope foreign seasonal farm workers will be excluded from the ban.
This comes even as unemployment has surged in…

You’ll notice it in things like how they presume illegal immigration and its concurrent circumstances are the norm, not…
Hundreds of angry Pennsylvanians gathered outside the state Capitol in Harrisburg April 20 demanding that Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf reopen the Keystone State.

Weeks after Lancaster-Blog filed a Freedom of Information request with the Pennsylvania Department of Health for data on the demographics of COVID-19 cases in the state, officials have released partial numbers.
Lancaster-Blog will continue pressing for full disclosure of all COVID-19 data in the public in the public interest.

The legion of gun control zealots who would step all over the constitution and gun-owner rights in a mad scramble to enact their authoritarian agenda aren’t slowing down for anything – not common sense or the declared state of medical emergency.
And as liberal politicians in other states push hard…
Let’s say you just arrived in Lancaster County, as I did, and you’re looking for just the right church home.
Now granted, few Christians of any stripe just pick a church like throwing a dart at a dartboard, but from what I was told when I arrived, Lancaster County has…
Among other disturbing things the COVID pandemic has brought to the average Pennsylvanian is awareness that the state’s Secretary of Health and former Physician General is an off-putting obese transgender widely lauded for being transgender, and very little else.
Born Richard Levine to a Jewish family in Boston and now…
I recently moved to Lancaster County from down South, and, as a professional journalist and writer, I started this blog to share my journey of discovery of this wonderful place.
I’ve worked as a journalist my whole life. I’ve traveled all over America and Europe writing about many different regions.…
As I wrote in the About section, I’m new here. I’m an experienced writer and reporter, but there’s only so much one man can do, and there’s a whole lot to get done here in Lancaster County.
