Some Thoughts From the Newsroom as Election Day 2024 is in the History Books


Veterans Day 2024 | South Shore Press

VETERANS DAY

One of the main reasons why the United States of America is the greatest on earth is because of the brave men and women who volunteer to wear the uniform to defend freedom here at home and around the world.

On Veterans Day we honor those patriots who have served our country to preserve and protect our Constitutional Republic.

Please try as best as possible to thank a veteran every single day of the year, not just November 11th of every year.

PEANUT THE SQUIRREL

It is mind-blowing to think that with all the pressing issues facing the People’s Republic of New York, the DEC and state are focused on euthanizing a squirrel.

A family living in Pine City, New York (outside of Elmira in the Southern Tier) had their pet squirrel confiscated by the Department of Environmental Conservation and killed over their concerns of rabies.

The DEC claimed neighbors complained about an animal sanctuary being held at their home, and decided to raid Peanut’s owners, then killed the animal.

Struggling families across New York aren’t treated as well as illegal immigrants, who are given boatloads of taxpayers dollars for hotels, meals, and living expenses. Folks fear Big Apple subways and streets because of high crime.

What is the priority of the Hochul Administration?

Raiding rural homes and killing squirrels.

SUCKING THEIR THUMBS IN THE FETAL POSITION

It’s comical that a group of Washington Post Editorial writers and the Editor at Large resigned over the Jeff Bezos-owned newspaper taking a stance and NOT endorsing a candidate for President of the United States. No question the Washington Post would have endorsed San Francisco liberal Kamala Harris, so the left-wing editorial board members sucked their thumbs in the fetal position and quit over Bezos’ refusal to endorse a candidate for Commander in Chief.

Good luck on the unemployment line and good riddance. The paper belongs to Amazon’s owner. It’s his. He’s the boss. If you don’t like the ground rules set forth by the owner, too bad.

THE TOLERANT LEFT

New York Governor Kathy Hochul showed how tolerant the liberal left can be by proudly proclaiming that anyone who voted for a Republican or President Trump are “Anti-American” and “Anti-woman.”

Hochul’s insult came on the heels of President Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage.”

This is beyond insulting to millions of hard working taxpayers across New York and America. President Trump is constantly called a racist and fascist by the loony left, some even going so far as to compare his campaign event at Madison Square Garden to a Hitler rally.

Deranged Democrats are the true racists in America. They love and promote free speech, but only if that speech agrees with their ideology.

IT’S OVER!

Election 2024 is in the history books. You’ll get a short reprieve from the campaign commercials and direct mail for a few months. November 4th, 2025 is less than one year away…..

History Comes Alive at Military Museum

The museum is the dream of the nearby Rocky Point VFW Post 6249 membership, whose stories are befitting of the many heroes depicted in the gallery’s hallowed halls. There’s museum advisor Joe Cognitore, the post’s commander, whose Army service in Vietnam earned him a Bronze Star with a “V” for Valor.

Fort Sumter Pilgrimage Explores Family’s Civil War Legacy

Following the War of 1812 with Britain, President Andrew Jackson realized the need to strengthen the new nation’s coastal defenses, especially to protect the Atlantic entrance to Charleston, the south’s busiest port.
