• Virgilance or Reticense

    Opinion by John Tutten: Are you as sick and tired of this presidential campaign as I am?  It has descended to a level more typical of a student council election than one to choose the leader of the greatest country in the history of our planet. Every day it’s some new drama that has little […]

  • Kerry Admits Obama is Funding Iran’s Terrorism 

    City of Hiawassee
