Letter: Presidential transition needed to protect America

The election is over, and President Trump lost
Posted by Fred Steiner on November 23, 2020 - 10:44am

Icon viewers:
President Trump is trying to steal the election.

He's making false claims of fraud and refusing to help the transition to President-Elect Biden. That transition process should include briefings for President-Elect Biden  on national security and on the federal response to the pandemic, among other issues. President Trump is blocking those briefings.

The losers here are the American people.

In Bluffton everyone loves a good lie, with a twist of fabrication

Posted by Fred Steiner on November 22, 2020 - 2:51pm

In Bluffton everyone loves a good lie, with a twist of fabrication and a bit of exaggeration told by someone who can pull it off successfully. 

Bluffton Anthology is not a book about Bluffton lies or Bluffton hearsay.  

All the stories really happened. Some are remembered correctly and some are remembered as we wished they happened. 

It took seven years but we checked the facts and got everything right – at least we think we so. The big question we ask ourselves would this book pass the Chuck Hilty, Dick Jordan and Sam Dilller test?
