WHEN IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU

By Louis Avallone
President Obama’s remarks at the memorial service for five slain Dallas police officers recently was a sad reflection of why our nation is so divided and why it’s not only important for us to do what is right in our communities but to do it for the right reasons and not just because of what’s in it for you.

WHY BREXIT?

Reclaiming our identity, pride, key to our own future

By Louis Avallone
What is the EU? Well, I’m glad you asked, because it wasn’t exactly what I thought it was. For starters, the EU is an economic and political partnership involving 28 European countries.

Voting for the left?

By Louis Avallone
I know many of you are angry and feeling frustrated. So many of you are grieving the loss of the America you grew up in, and the erosion of the fundamental values that provided us all with a sense of security, identity and purpose as proud Americans.
