YOUNG BEN FRANKLIN

THE FOUNDATIONS OF GREATNESS

Ben Franklin was born on Milk Street in Boston, Province of Massachusetts Bay on January 17, 1706, and baptized at the Old South Meeting House in Boston. As a child growing up along the Charles River, Franklin recalled that he was "generally the leader among the boys."

Franklin's father wanted him to attend school with the clergy but only had enough money to send him to school for two years. He attended Boston Latin School but did not graduate; he continued his education through voracious reading. Although "his parents talked of the church as a career"[20] for Franklin, his schooling ended when he was ten. He worked for his father for a time, and at 12 he became an apprentice to his brother James, a printer, who taught him the printing trade. When Benjamin was 15, James founded The New-England Courant, which was the third newspaper founded in Boston.

When denied the chance to write a letter to the paper for publication, Franklin adopted the pseudonym of "Silence Dogood", a middle-aged widow. Mrs. Dogood's letters were published and became a subject of conversation around town. Neither James nor the Courant's readers were aware of the ruse, and James was unhappy with Benjamin when he discovered the popular correspondent was his younger brother. Franklin was an advocate of free speech from an early age. When his brother was jailed for three weeks in 1722 for publishing material unflattering to the governor, young Franklin took over the newspaper and had Mrs. Dogood proclaim, quoting Cato's Letters, "Without freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech." Franklin left his apprenticeship without his brother's permission, and in so doing became a fugitive. It was pretty tough in those days wasn’t it?

At age 17, Franklin ran away to Philadelphia, seeking a new start in a new city. When he first arrived, he worked in several printing shops there, but he was not satisfied by the immediate prospects in any of these jobs. After a few months, while Franklin was working in one printing house, Pennsylvania governor Sir William Keith convinced him to go to London, ostensibly to acquire the equipment necessary for establishing another newspaper in Philadelphia. Discovering that Keith's promises of backing a newspaper were empty, he worked as a typesetter in a printer's shop in what is today the Lady Chapel of Church of St Bartholomew-the-Great in the Smithfield area of London, which had at that time been deconsecrated. He returned to Philadelphia in 1726 with the help of Thomas Denham, an English merchant who had emigrated but returned to England, and who employed Franklin as a clerk, shopkeeper, and bookkeeper in his business.

In 1727, at age 21, Franklin formed the Junto, a group of "like minded aspiring artisans and tradesmen who hoped to improve themselves while they improved their community." The Junto was a discussion group for issues of the day; it subsequently gave rise to many organizations in Philadelphia.The Junto was modeled after English coffeehouses that Franklin knew well and which had become the center of the spread of Enlightenment ideas in Britain.

Reading was a great pastime of the Junto, but books were rare and expensive. The members created a library, initially assembled from their own books, after Franklin wrote:

A proposition was made by me that since our books were often referr'd to in our disquisitions upon the inquiries, it might be convenient for us to have them altogether where we met, that upon occasion they might be consulted; and by thus clubbing our books to a common library, we should, while we lik'd to keep them together, have each of us the advantage of using the books of all the other members, which would be nearly as beneficial as if each owned the whole.

This did not suffice, however. Franklin conceived the idea of a subscription library, which would pool the funds of the members to buy books for all to read. This was the birth of the Library Company of Philadelphia, whose charter he composed in 1731.

In 1728, he set up a printing house in partnership with Hugh Meredith; the following year he became the publisher of The Pennsylvania Gazette, a newspaper in Philadelphia. The Gazette gave Franklin a forum for agitation about a variety of local reforms and initiatives through printed essays and observations. Over time, his commentary, and his adroit cultivation of a positive image as an industrious and intellectual young man, earned him a great deal of social respect. But even after he achieved fame as a scientist and statesman, he habitually signed his letters with the unpretentious 'B. Franklin, Printer.

But Franklin became more than that. He forged ahead with a German publication and put together numerous pamphlets  that people devoured for their wisdom, entertainment and their education. It is no wonder that Franklin became a strong proponent of education with his independent thinking.

This foundation as a youth gave him the humble but energetic beginning of a great contribution to what would become the United States of America. (wiipedia, LuLac).

MAKING HISTORY OR LET YOUR FINGER DOING THE WALKING!  

Donald Trump became the first President in the history of the United States to give someone the finger. Trump was perturbed when an Auto worker yelled at him regarding the Epstein files. Now any normal President might have ignored it. But again these Republicans really get weird when anything of a sexual nature is brought up. This friendship with Epstein must be driving Trump crazy. I mean there have been worse things said about him, but this touched a nerve.

Naturally the auto worker was suspended from his job for a violation of free speech.

In the United States? Uh yes. The Trump United States.

Now to be fair Trump was not the only person in the Executive branch to give someone the finger.

Exactly 50 years ago this September, Rockefeller, then vice-president of the United States, was on a campaign swing through upstate New York on Sept. 16, 1976, with Sen. Bob Dole, who had been selected to be President Gerald Ford’s running mate for the 1976 election.

When someone in a group of heckling leftie SUNY Binghamton students gave Rockefeller the finger, Rockefeller gave it right back, much to the delight of Dole in the background.

At the time, Rockefeller’s finger flashing was scandalous and the gesture was referred to thereafter as “The Rockefeller Salute”. Rockefeller refused to apologize for his outburst.

“I was just responding in kind”, he said, neatly avoiding the point that the apology was not expected to go to the hecklers but to the general public. Bob Dole was asked by a reporter why he didn’t join Rockefeller in “the salute”. He replied, “I have trouble with my right arm”. Dole was of course wounded in World War II.

After unsuccessfully seeking the 4 term Governor  presidential nomination in 1960, 1964, and 1968, he served as Vice President from 1974 to 1977 under President Gerald R. Ford.

Ford ascended to the presidency following the August 1974 resignation of Richard Nixon over the Watergate Scandal, and Ford selected Rockefeller as his replacement, only the second vice president to be appointed under the provisions of the 25th Amendment, Ford having been the first.

The difference though between Trump’s action and Rocky’s was this: Nelson seemed to enjoy his moment, Donald did not.

 

MORE SEX OBSESSION FROM THE GOP

 

Scott Perry who was/is hung up on where people go to the bathrooms is now hiding. Hiding in an election year? Well when you win by 5,000 votes and tell people about your appearance AFTER the fact, don’t answer your office doors and hide, people n Even supporters who live in Perry’s central Pennsylvania district could not remember the last time he hosted an in-person town hall.

The U.S. House is ending a 17-day recess, typically known as a district work period, in which members of Congress return home to focus on their constituents. But some of the most vulnerable Republicans limited their potential exposure to the potential backlash from President Donald Trump’s first months in office.

 

MEASLES ON THE MOVE

The measles outbreak in South Carolina has reached alarming levels, with 124 new cases reported recently, bringing the total to 434 cases. The outbreak is primarily centered in Spartanburg County, with over 400 people in quarantine. The outbreak has been linked to public exposure and low vaccination rates, with 93% of cases occurring among unvaccinated individuals. The CDC recommends the MMR vaccine for children aged 12 to 15 months and between 4 and 6 years old, with two doses offering 97% effectiveness against measles. The outbreak has prompted health officials to encourage vaccination and monitor for symptoms in those who may have been exposed.

THIS IS INSANE. Parents are to blame for not vaccinating their kids and the RFK devotees and lackeys are liable for those deaths.

This is what happens when you have scare tactics with people too dumb to understand science.

 

 

ICE NOT SO NICE

 

When the woman was shot to death a week ago, the most egregious factor was the ICE pigs WOULD NOT LET MEDICAL HELP THROUGH.

A full-fledged doctor offered his services  but they SHOT HER, and if there was a chance that she might have lived, THEY LET HER DIE.

I write this because no one is screaming this from the rooftops and the defenders of the indefensible are peddling the story that he is bleeding internally because he got hut by the car.

 

ICE ON HAND FOR

DISNEY SKATE PROGRAM

AT THE ARENA

 

An ICE officer was spotted outside the Arena recently making sure (NOT) the attendees were going to be safe from those 20 million criminal (NOT) immigrants looking to do harm.

WHAT A JOKE from wanna be Mall Cops. 

  

SHAPIRO ADMINISTRATION CELEBRATES TWO DECADES OF FUELING GROWTH, NEW INVESTMENTS IN PENNSYLVANIA'S $132.5 BILLION AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY THROUGH CENTERS FOR EXCELLENCE

Deputy Agriculture Secretary Lisa Graybeal and leadership from the Pennsylvania Centers for Excellence celebrate how the centers are feeding the nation's growth by bringing together industry associations, higher education institutions, and the Commonwealth to help advance research, innovation, and business growth in Pennsylvania's different plant and animal agriculture sectors, in Harrisburg, PA on January 13, 2026.

On the fourth day of the Pennsylvania Farm Show, Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Lisa Graybeal and leadership from Pennsylvania's Centers for Excellence gathered to celebrate how the centers are feeding the nation's growth through bringing together industry associations, higher education institutions, and the Commonwealth to help advance research, innovation, and business growth in Pennsylvania's different plant and animal agriculture sectors.

"This year's Farm Show theme, Growing A Nation, isn't just a reference to the food on our plates," Graybeal said. "It's a recognition that agriculture is the foundation of our economy, the health of our communities, and the security of our nation. The Centers for Excellence are enhancing Pennsylvania's global competitiveness and growing the future of our industry and our economy."

"By combining the practical experience and in-depth knowledge of a wide spectrum of industry professionals with the expertise of our world-class research and teaching institutions, the centers are a model that works, making strategic investments where each industry needs them most to ensure Pennsylvania continues to be a national leader."

Collectively, the centers receive a $4.1 million investment through the state budget.

 

BRESNAHAN SECURES FEDERAL FUNDING TO TRAIN REHABILITATION COUNSELORS IN NORTHEASTERN PA

 

U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan, Jr. announced that he helped secure nearly $1 million in federal funding for the University of Scranton to support its nationally recognized Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling Program. The funding was awarded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Rehabilitation Services Administration.

The five-year grant, totaling $999,909.16, will provide tuition scholarships for graduate students, expand online and hybrid learning options, and help address regional workforce shortages of highly qualified rehabilitation counselors.

“The University of Scranton plays an important role in preparing students for careers that meet real needs in our communities,” said Rep. Bresnahan. “That’s why I’m proud to have helped secure this critical funding to expand access to training and help address workforce shortages in rehabilitation and counseling services. I will always fight to bring tax dollars back to Northeastern Pennsylvania to strengthen programs our communities rely on.”5

“The clinical rehabilitation counseling field is a shining of example of what it means to be 'for and with others,' a Jesuit ideal we hold dear at The University of Scranton. Our students are trained to treat — but even more importantly, accompany — individuals as they face emotional, physical and psychological challenges,” said Rev. Joseph G. Marina, S.J., University of Scranton president. “We are very grateful to Rep. Bresnahan and the RSE for their support of this program, which has helped countless people live better lives thanks to the expert care they received from Scranton graduates.”

The grant will allow the program, previously offered only on campus, to be available fully online or in a hybrid format, making it accessible to a broader and more diverse group of students.

Established in 1965, the University of Scranton’s Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling Program is one of the oldest programs of its kind at a Catholic college or university in the nation. Nearly 1,000 graduates have gone on to serve individuals with disabilities nationwide, collectively reaching an estimated 1.5 million clients nationwide, according to the University.

The University of Scranton’s rehabilitation counseling program is currently ranked No. 2 in Pennsylvania and among the top 50 programs nationally by U.S. News & World Report.

THE LULAC TIME MACHINE

HUBERT HUMPHREY DIES

January 1978 

 EDITOR'S NOTE: The above photos were of Humphrey with the press, the late multi term Wyoming Area School Board Director Thomas "Tim" Pribula at the 1972 Friendly Sons of St. Patrick Dinner in Pittston and me with Humphrey. He was my uncle Tim and going to this event was my first taste of the national political process.  

Hubert Humphrey served as a 5 term Senator from Minnesota, a Vice President as well as a three time candidate for the Presidency, He lost by a narrow margin to Richard Nixon.

In early January 1974, Humphrey checked into the Bethesda Naval Hospital for tests regarding a minute tumor of the bladder. His physician Edgar Berman said the next day that Humphrey "looks fine and feels fine" and was expected to leave early the following week. In an interview conducted on March 29, 1974, Humphrey concurred with Senator Mike Mansfield's assessment from the prior day that the House of Representatives had enough votes to impeach Nixon. Humphrey was reportedly pleased by Nixon's resignation.

n October 1976, Humphrey was admitted to a hospital for the removal of a cancerous bladder, predicted his victory in his reelection bid, and advocated for members of his party to launch efforts to increase voter turnout upon his release. He won that next term.

Humphrey ran for Majority Leader after the 1976 election but lost to Robert Byrd of West Virginia. The Senate honored Humphrey by creating the post of Deputy President pro tempore of the Senate for him. On August 16, 1977, Humphrey revealed he was suffering from terminal bladder cancer. On October 25 of that year, he addressed the Senate, and on November 3, Humphrey became the first person other than a member of the House or the President of the United States to address the House of Representatives in session. President Carter honored him by giving him command of Air Force One for his final trip to Washington on October 23. One of Humphrey's final speeches contained the lines "It was once said that the moral test of Government is how that Government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped", which is sometimes described as the "liberals' mantra".

Humphrey spent his last weeks calling old political acquaintances. One call was to Richard Nixon, inviting him to his upcoming funeral, which Nixon accepted. Staying in the hospital, Humphrey went from room to room, cheering up other patients by telling them jokes and listening to them. On January 13, 1978, he died of bladder cancer at his home in Waverly, Minnesota, at the age of 66.

Humphrey's body lay in state in the rotundas of the U.S. Capitol and the Minnesota State Capitol before being interred at Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis. His death overshadowed the death of his colleague from Montana, Senator Lee Metcalf, who had died the day before Humphrey. Old friends and opponents of Humphrey, from Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon to President Carter and Vice President Walter Mondale, paid their final respects. "He taught us how to live, and finally he taught us how to die", said Mondale.

Humphrey's wife Muriel was appointed by Minnesota governor Rudy Perpich to serve in the U.S. Senate until a special election to fill the term was held; she did not seek election to finish her husband's term in office. In 1981, she married Max Brown and took the name Muriel Humphrey Brown.  Upon her death in 1998 she was interred next to Humphrey at Lakewood Cemetery.

The epitaph on Humphrey's gravestone reads: "I have enjoyed my life, its disappointments outweighed by its pleasures. I have loved my country in a way that some people consider sentimental and out of style. I still do, and I remain an optimist, with joy, without apology, about this country and about the American experiment in democracy….and this week in 1978 the number one song in LuLac land and America was “Baby Come Back” by Player.

This week we reprise an article from Tony Calliao who tells us about plans for Pittston City under the Lombardo administration.

 

MAYOR LOMBARDO REFLECTS ON THE STATE OF PITTSTON

By Tony Callaio For Sunday Dispatch

 

Now that Michael Lombardo has been sworn in for his fifth nonconsecutive term as mayor of Pittston, he can focus his attention on the progression and improvements in the city that he started back in 1998 with his first term.

Only two other mayors of Pittston have served longer than Lombardo, Bob Loftus (1962-1980) and Tom Walsh (1980-1998), both serving 18 years. Lombardo served as mayor from 1998–2006 and then 2018 to present.

After being sworn in at noon on Jan. 5, along with incumbent council members Kenny Bangs and MaryPat Melvin Scarantino, and newcomer to council, Anthony “Tony” Guariglia by the Honorable Alex Kokura Kravitz, Lombardo said he was excited and eager to begin his fifth term.

“I’m very excited,” Lombardo said to his staff present. “I will tell you, actually, it’s probably more warning than a telling, coming into term five, I’ve got lots of ideas. I feel more motivated and energized than I did coming into term one and part of it is because all of you are around, and also because of the members of the staff that could sit here and I mean that sincerely to each one of you, to our both chiefs, to our other deputy administrators, and to our other department heads.”

He continues, “This is going to be a challenging year. I will note that I used the word challenging as an exciting challenge, not as a scary challenge. Every year has a little bit of a scary challenge, but I think there are great things ahead of us. I’m super excited.”

Mayor Lombardo has plenty to be excited about with a major overhaul to the former Quinn’s Supermarket property as well as a seven-story retail, office, and residential tower with the addition of the new 650-seat American Theatre attached to it.

Quinn’s will be razed in the near future to make way for a four-story parkade with housing on two sides of the structure, including a large courtyard. The courtyard will meet up with the back of the American Theatre at the corner of Market and Kennedy Blvd.

Several years ago, Mayor Lombardo set a 100-house initiative in order to gain 100 more homes or apartments in the city. For his fifth term, he’s being even bolder.

“I’m upping the ante,” Lombard stated. “I’m moving the challenge up to 250 new units over the next four years. They’d either be single-family, which would be a total house rehab or a new build on an open lot, and townhouses, which we have some in the plans.”

Pittston Progress

Mayor Lombardo, now in his fifth term, unveils a bold vision for Pittston, including 250 new housing units over four years.

Plans for a new retail tower and community spaces are underway as Lombardo aims to revitalize the city.

Lombardo assures residents of tax relief and major developments, including improvements to the bridge and trails.

poll

Are you excited about Pittston's developments?

Those plans include a project, touted as “Tailor Way,” paying homage to the garment industry that was so strong in the city for decades, will be located on Panama St. at the location of the ice skating rink behind the Convenient Food Mart on N. Main St.

According to Lombardo, the 40 units will consist of one to four bedrooms, complete with one community room.

Part of the 250 units will be included in the Pittston Hospital project, wherethe owner/developer John Basalyga plans on turning the existing structures on the property into housing.

Lombardo said there is room enough on the property to add additional housing.

The Pittston Hospital deal was a partnership between the city and Jenkins Twp. Pittston City owned a portion of the property and the rest by Jenkins Twp.

Basalyga purchased the property for $400,000, which the Pittston Redevelopment Authority will split the profit with Jenkins Twp. handing over $200,000 to the township.

In addition, the City of Pittston has agreed to share property tax revenue into perpetuity, giving Jenkins Twp. an estimated up to and beyond $30,000 per year.

The three standing buildings at the hospital could hold up to 70 apartments renting at approximately $1,800 to $2,600 each.

With the annexation of the Jenkins Twp. hospital property, Lombardo said the city has grown geographically since its existence.

“We just increased the homestead exemption again,” Lombardo added. “We’re going to see about 94% of our homeowners and seniors get a tax reduction this year.

Lombardo said he has secured money to redo the lower Tomato lot. It will be reconfigured, the center island will be removed, water drainage will be relocated, and a new permanent stage will be built at the east end of the lot.

Other projects in sight are townhouses on Broad Street, as well as lofts at the Bell Tower project (formerly the Presbyterian Church) on Broad Street.

On the mayor’s dream list would be retail space near the former Pittston Lumber location.

“I want to start to formulate Main Street too, which is, sort of, the expansion of the downtown into the junction section of the city,” Lombardo explained. “We’ve been talking to the rail company about that, but I think there are opportunities there for increased housing. I think there are opportunities there for increased retail. I really would love to create, with the train there, a little antiques district.”

Lombardo did not want to discount young or new first-time homebuyers in the future. A project is titled “Your Dream Starts Here.”

“I think there’s a possibility of a dual city partnership (with Wilkes-Barre) to roll out a really cool program where we can help,” said Lombardo. “This could help people with challenges of somebody who wants to get their first home.”

One big question that is on all of the minds of those living and working in Greater Pittston; when will there be movement on the two bridges crossing Pittston to West Pittston?

“I think at some point in the summer you’re going to start to see activity there,” Lombardo speculated. “We’ve cleared a bunch of the hurdles. So I’m excited about that.”

The long-overdue Fort Pittston project needs to get started this year at some point, according to the mayor.

“It’s got to get started this spring. It can’t go through another season and not be completed and I think we’re overall the hurdles. And my understanding is we’re going to start to see some activity in March and April.”

Lombardo said he would like to turn his attention to the trail system along the rail bed connecting to the highly used Lackawanna County Heritage Trail. The city has $2 million set aside in funds to finish the project.

The property known as the Open Space, across from the Tomato Festival lower lot were nearly completed office space could open as early as Feb. 2026.

Lombardo mentioned the partnership with the Greater Pittston YMCA with the building at the corner of Main and William Streets.

“That give us a couple more loft units downtown in the upper building of the former LaFocca Dentist building,” Lombardo said. The YMCA will do the renovations on the first and lower floor to expand the childcare. They’re also working on the rehab of the front of the Y building.”

There are several other projects on the back burner, and it is a bit too premature to bring them to the forefront, Lombardo said.

“I’m grateful to our taxpayers,” Lombardo admitted, on being elected to a fifth term. “I’m going to continue to fight hard to make sure that we do the things we’re supposed to do for the good of the city and the residents.”

 13 QUESTIONS 

Our 13 Questions logo  

 

 

1.          What did you think of the Thom Welby move to freeze out Bill Gaughan as a majority commissioner?

Well this is not the first time this happened in the Commissioner form of government. It is surprising that this move came so quick but I guess the Democratic party has decided they want Gaughan to pay for Matt McGoiiln resignation and its aftermath. Gaughan also didn’t help his own cause by not backing Welby. But by working with Cermak, they are getting in bed with a Trump election denier. I guarantee that wouldn’t happen under Pat Mellody or Corcoran and Alberiggi.

 

2.          Any thoughts on the NFL playoffs so far?

 

Incredible games so far. Exciting finishes. My Pack is out, it was a bad week for the Harbaughs, Chicago continues to be the cardiac kids, the Bills reiterated their resilience, the Jags and Panthers lost close and with dignity and the Patriots seem to be making a Brady like presence. A lot of story lines in these games.

 

3.          What’s with the investigation of the Shapiro administration the mansion?

 

It’s pure Republican bullshit.  The MAGA GOP lie machine is coming out full force because they have NOTHING in the way of issues. Shapiro has an enviable record of getting stuff done and this is real crap. They are going after him but conveniently forgetting that he and his family were almost assassinated by a fire bug. They continue to be disgraceful people.

 

4.          I saw on This Week that Rance Priebus said that Trump liked to goad people into thinking that he was entertained by January 6^th. What the hell?

What the hell indeed. Priebus is a Trrump ball licker from way back, justifies his dumbass opinions with a superior attitude and  constantly infuriates thinking people.

 

5.          What in the world is the baseball commissioner thinking about when he wants and east and west division?

I don’t think I’ll ever see it in my lifetime but there is some interest if the money is right.

 

6.          George Graham’s retirement from WVIA Radio. Did you work with him?

Yes from 1973 through 1978. I was actually Graham’s newsman during Watergate on The Mixed Bag Show. Learned a lot from him. Learned that if you did it right the first time, that strive for perfection would become a habit. If anything, Graham was NOT a “it’s good enough” guy. He will be missed.

 

7.          Kristi Noem looks like a first class hell on wheels bitch. Do you agree?

Nope I disagree. She’s low class in her demeanor and inability to tell the truth.

 

8.          Did you have a great Christmas?

Never had a bad one yet.

 

9.          On ICE, was that murder justified?

HELL NO.

a.          She was no threat.

b.          She engaged with the pig who killed her politely.  The only one who used profanity were the ICE people.

c.          The fact that people say that she hit her killed with the car can’t explain why he had a gun and cell phone in his hands walking around after that.

d.          ICE had no jurisdiction there. They were there to protect the border.

e.          Finally, WHAT FUCKING BORDER were they protecting? Wisconsin?

  

10.      I love your red coat series on Facebook. You should turn it into LuLac next year. Will ya?

Sure God willing anything is possible.

 

11.      I’d like to nominate you for the Times Leader Annual awards. How can I do that?

First off, thanks for the kind words. Here’s the link. I think I might fall under Social Media.

 

12.       Did you think J.D. Vance’s comments about the victim of ICE were warranted?

The hillbilly is mean spirited. He can give Trump a run for his money under the title of cruelty. 

 

13.       Do you get much feedback from your ad on the radio for WVIA FM? 

Some and it’s all positive.
