Could life be imitating art? The sister of accused Idaho college killer Bryan Kohberger starred in a gory low-budget slasher movie where characters are brutally stabbed, slashed and hacked to death with knives and hatchets. Amanda Kohberger appeared as “Lori” in the 2011 flick “Two Days Back” about a group of young students who go hiking in the remote woods and meet their grisly end at the hands of a maniacal killer who has won their trust.

Dressing like a slob is the new NEW political style. The NY Times is a parody of itself these days. 93 people made their STYLE list. John Fetterman was one of them. Yes, you read that correctly. John Fetterman with his slobby hoodies and shorts is stylish according to NY Times ‘journalists.’ I can’t decide whether this list is a total troll or they are serious. Lizzo stylish? Not hardly. Heidi Klum’s ‘the worm’ halloween costume? It’s A COSTUME people! And Fetterman is classed as stylish alongside the Spotted Lantern fly?

Senator-elect John Fetterman (D-Pa.) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) were included in The New York Time’s list of the 93 most stylish people of the year. The diverse list for 2022’s most fashionable includes a typical host of celebrities — from Kim Kardashian to Beyoncé and Harry Styles — but also some less likely candidates. Fetterman was featured on the list next to a photo of him wearing his traditional uniform: a sweatshirt, shorts and a pair of sneakers. The Times commented that Fetterman would bring the workwear clothing brand Carhartt to Capitol Hill. Pressley was celebrated both for her...

n 16th century England, the proverb "You can't have your cake and eat it too" became popular, quoted when two conflicting options existed. As such, both could not be chosen as choosing to eat the cake left no more to have. President Joe Biden and now Pennsylvania Sen.-elect John Fetterman enjoy a variation of this proverb. For two years, Biden's deteriorating mental health has been of grave concern. And Fetterman, whose mental abilities, after a May 2022 stroke, to deal with serious issues of his office are questionable, will generate similar concerns once he is sworn in on Jan. 3....

Abortions in Pennsylvania increased 9 percent in the six years between 2016 and 2021, but medical complications from abortions have almost doubled (up 48 percent) in that time. Increased medical complications correlate with a 62 percent increase in Pennsylvania’s chemical abortions—the abortion pill—over that same time. While complications rise from these self-administered chemical abortions, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) this week agreed to expand access to abortion pills through brick-and-mortar and online pharmacies. The pharmacies must apply for a certification to distribute mifepristone, one of the medications used for chemical abortions. With certification, pharmacies will dispense the pill directly...

We've worked in good faith for months to change the status quo. At nearly every turn, we've been sidelined or resisted by McCarthy, and any perceived progress has been vague or contained loopholes that further amplified concerns as to the sincerity of the promises being made.

HARRISBURG — The American population might be growing, but Pennsylvania remains a leading state for Americans to flee, rather than stay. The commonwealth is one of 18 states to lose population in 2022, according to new data from the Census Bureau, and one of the worst performers. The data is confirmation of a long-running trend: Pennsylvania has a population problem, and the end isn’t yet in sight. The latest Census data shows the American population grew by 1.26 million (0.4%) since a year ago, with the primary growth being more than 1 million immigrants landing on American soil. Natural change...

When Pennsylvania’s Department of Human Services announced in 2019 that Polk and White Haven Centers, two large state-operated institutions for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, would close by November 2022—claiming that moving residents to “community-based settings” would better honor their “inherent worth and dignity”—it spelled the end of two campuses that had housed the intellectually and developmentally disabled for more than 50 years. It also sparked a political fight between disability-rights activists, who hailed the closures as a step toward full inclusion for people with disabilities, and many residents and their families, who feared losing what they considered their...
