Mystic taunts competition
To the Editor: I would like to encourage my fellow Lakeland Times Football Prediction Board members to do better. It’s inconceivable that the mystic (aka Dread Pirate Roberts), with no sports education is beating a sports writer and an athletic director.
Contempt for democracy
The latest filing by Special Counsel Jack Smith makes clear that Donald Trump and his aides had nothing but contempt for democracy in his efforts in 2020 to subvert the results of a democratic election.
Politicians steal homes
Sometimes politicians steal people’s homes. Really. If homeowners miss property tax payments, even if they never received the bills, some towns grab the whole house and keep the proceeds. All the proceeds. Even if the total is much more than the property tax owed.

Bunk from a cabinet secretary
Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich now makes videos, like I do. In fact, his channel, Inequality Media, is very much like Stossel TV. He also reaches people via social media platforms, gets millions of views and covers economic topics.
