Four wrongs:

Whether you love him or hate him, nobody deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than President Donald Trump. Even the recipient of the prize agrees.

The payroll of the Toronto Blue Jays is $58 million. Seattle Mariners is $61 million. Milwaukee Brewers is $116 million. Los Angeles Dodgers is $350 million. This inequity is really hurting the game of baseball. The Dodgers don’t have to worry about drafting or developing players. They have the money so they just buy them. Very unfair playing field.

They make a lot of mistakes in unhappy valley. Penn State gives its president a 47% raise and most likely will spend millions of dollars to buy out head football coach James Franklin’s contract. All the while they are closing local campuses like New Kensington and Fayette.

Federal and state legislators should not be getting paid when they haven’t passed a budget.
