A 5th Person In PA Has Suffered A Measles-Related Death
The measles outbreaks in America, and specifically in Pennsylvania, are getting worse instead of getting better. And, while RFK Jr. has and will continue to attempt to lay blame for this total failure of federal leadership at the feet of state officials, anyone with a few brain cells to rub together knows that's bullshit. While...

4th Measles Death In PA & All The Federal Govt. Can Do Is Disrespect The Dead By Ignoring Them
As Pennsylvania continues to endure the worst of the current measles outbreaks ravaging the country, a fourth measles-associated death has now been confirmed. As of the time of this writing, the CDC's public website tracking case counts and deaths has still not acknowledged a single one of these fatalities, reportedly at the direction of RFK...

Adult Woman Dies From Measles Complications In Pennsylvania
Despite RFK Jr.'s assurances that he's absolutely killing it combating this pesky measles thing that resurfaced after decades under his leadership, the only thing that is being killed are American citizens who contract measles. While we first eclipsed the measles case count of 2025 in mid-summer of 2026, there has also been no slowdown of...

1 Of 2 Children Dead In PA Confirmed To Be From Measles
I want to start this whole thing off with a disclaimer. Nothing in this post should be misconstrued as gloating, as being pleased, or as having a connotation that is anything beyond sadness and the need for change. Nobody is happy to have the obvious confirmed when it comes to a child's death. There is...

Reporting Indicates RFK Jr. Directly Intervened To Keep PA Deaths Off CDC Measles Report
The measles outbreak, that began in America nearly two years ago, has only increased in velocity. We recently talked about the deaths of two children in Pennsylvania who both died while infected with measles. I'm altering my language slightly here from that original post in which I described those children as having died of measles...

Two Die In Pennsylvania Of Measles Marking The First Deaths Of 2026
Last year, as decades of work by RFK Jr. to undermine vaccines with false links to deaths and autism culminated in his appointment to lead HHS, America saw the largest resurgence of measles cases in something like three decades. Three people died, including two children, all unvaccinated. Kennedy mostly ignored the outbreak from the beginning...

Why Pennsylvanians should vote for Tom Wolf
Though I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, I haven’t lived there for years. So why should anybody in the state listen to me about who to vote for as their governor? Because, this time, I can personally attest to the character of the best man for the job. Tom Wolf is an outstanding candidate.…

I used to live just down the Hershey Highway
Given the fact that the area I was born and raised in is the area that elected Rick Santorum, it suddenly becomes much easier to explain why that part of Pennsylvania isn’t so much a great place as it is a great place to be from.

Thanks to the design excellence and automotive auspices of the Ford Motor Company, I am in scenic Throop, Pennsylvania. Yes, this town is exactly what one would expect of a location named Throop.
