Point of View

UNITED STATES─We have all been told that we have the Freedom of Speech, and while that is true for the most part, there are indeed some limits to that constitutional right people. For anyone who has ever studied constitutional law, you know there are limits to Freedom of Speech, in particular when it comes to the imminent lawless action...

UNITED STATES─If you were to ask me a month ago where things stood in America regarding the coronavirus crisis, I would say we were on the right side of things. Ask me that question today, and I feel like we are traveling down a path that is NOT good and I’m worried where things are headed people. Now, I’ve...

UNITED STATES─Since I’ve started working I have never been a fan of people who are lazy. I know I should not care about what others do on the job, but when I have to work with you, to see you and to be in your presence when I’m working my tail off I have a major problem. I know...

UNITED STATES─Dear Toni: My mother has recently been laid off and losing her company benefits effective August 1.  I need help finding a Medicare Advantage plan that can better meet her medical needs. She receives $1,350 on her Social Security check and cannot afford to purchase a Medicare supplement. Can you please advise me what I can do to help...

UNITED STATES─Summer is officially here, and with that said, we not only have the heat in full force, but a pesky little insect that I’ve hated since I was a kid: the mosquito. Mosquitos are annoying as hell, and it seems we haven’t talked about the creature known for causing a pandemic involving the West Nile Virus (not to...

UNITED STATES─Since I was a kid, I have never been a fan of summer. When we get into the months of June, July and August, it just causes me to sigh. Why? I know I’m going to have to deal with humidity and heat. These are two things I hate with a passion. Whenever the temperature gets above 75...

UNITED STATES─This is baffling and I don’t know any other way to say this beyond what I’m going to say: this pandemic is not over America. Look, this is no political push; I’m not getting something for bringing this to anyone’s attention, but c’mon America we have to be smarter than what we currently are. Rather you like it...

UNITED STATES—Hello Toni: Yesterday, a representative from Medicare called my mother asking all types of personal questions to provide her with testing supplies for COVID-19 and specialized masks which can protect her more than the ones bought at the store.  I just happened to be at her house and was able to take the call. I told them that she...

UNITED STATES─Recent reports have surfaced that the cost of food has been on the rise and I know I’m not the only person who has seen it. Yes, price gouging has taken place at many grocers, who should be ashamed of their actions. I mean come on, we’re in a pandemic people, and people are charging crazy rates for...

UNITED STATES─I swear I feel like this COVID-19 pandemic has taught us as a country we are way stronger than what we perceive. However, being locked down for weeks is something that can be quite trying America, and I mean trying. Imagine going 3 months without a haircut, being in the house for weeks on end, having to wear...
