What does it mean to keep a promise to our veterans and to the next generation? With the national debt surpassing $36 trillion, a serious assessment of federal spending, including within the Department of Veterans Affairs, is not just prudent, it’s necessary. This isn’t an ideological debate. It’s arithmetic. Nearly one in every four dollars the federal government spends is borrowed. Interest on the debt exceeds what we spend on national defense.

Every year it's the same thing: the White House announcing the name of turkeys that will be spared becoming a Thanksgiving meal. It's been this way on and off since Abraham Lincoln gave in to his son Tad's request and made it a pet and not the family dinner. President Kennedy was the first to send a gobbler back to the farm instead of the kitchen. But it was Ronald Reagan who first used the word "pardon" and George H.W.

The 22-room retreat in the heart of the southern countryside includes a pool, restaurant, and more. Thoughts of Provence evoke images of winding roads bordered by a sea of olive trees, grapevines, and lavender; of iron gates, unpaved lanes, and enormous stone homes filled with handwoven carpets, Louis XV furniture, and an infinite supply of pale-pink rosé. And nothing, perhaps, is more picture-perfectly Provence than Château d’Estoublon.

LG Kathy Hochul says it's a war and New York needs Winter patriots who can fight COVID with all tools of science, masks, distance, all the rest. Albany is also changing the rules to get younger kids back in school while raising the pressure on adults to stop gathering unsafely.

COVID is spreading across Erie County, with three-suburban communities...West Seneca, Lancaster and Hamburg...leading the virus pack, while there are so many suburban cases Buffalo has gone from leader of the pack to a rate equivalent to its percentage of the population.

New state law might cut into the damage from zombie homes. Forecloser now has to identify the servicer who is supposed to cut the grass, repair the windows and all that so the home doesn't look like that bad tooth on a block and in good shape enough to be sold to someone else.
