When they opened up the doors to get the free TVs it was just too good to pass up.

We've got to come together

'Cause in the end we can make it -- alright

We've got to brave the weather

Through all of the storms

We've got to come together

'Cause in the end we can make it -- alright

We've got to learn to love

Making people mad (to the point of hate) is much easier these days. It doesn’t take much; just don’t agree with everything they say.

Many years ago, 1995 to be exact, I had hip surgery. This was also the year I met Dr. Albert T. Gilpin Jr., MD, pediatric orthopedic surgeon at McLeod Pediatric Orthopaedics in Florence, SC.

VIC COLUMN: Invalidating The Election

Thu, 12/17/2020 - 4:37pm Vic MacDonald

It’s a good bet that 81,056,268 United States voters will not go to the polls again to vote for President Joe Biden, once the Republicans are successful in nullifying the Constitution and declaring the General Election of 2020 invalid.

But, in my view, a pretty good number of those ARE going to vote again -- even braving the hazards of COVID-19 because state election offices will not be allowed to offer mail-in or absentee ballots.

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. - Romans 8:28

2020 has been a rough year.

For 9 months, we've had the COVID-19 pandemic.

We've had floods, tornadoes and hurricanes.

My mother passed away in September.

In an election year, our nation is deeply divided by politics.

2020 has also been a great year.

VIC Column: Term Limits

Wed, 11/18/2020 - 2:20pm Vic MacDonald

When we talk about term limits, The Incumbents always say, “My term limit is every 4 years.” Or 2, or 6, depending on the office. Now, we have just passed a referendum on presidential incumbency, and those standing for election have some lessons to learn.

They have to learn how to be more relevant to their districts.

More info on our WEB - MyClintonNews.com - on the coronavirus -- the file is 33 pages now.

The greatest challenge this nation faces now, after the election, is getting rid of the coronavirus. Our economy is re-opened, but every savvy businessperson knows, a business is no good if everybody’s sick.

Too sick to work.

Too sick to buy.

Many things about tomorrow

I don't seem to understand

But I know who holds tomorrow

And I know who holds my hand

This morning you may know the results of the election. This column was written before the election.

So how do you write an election day column without knowing the results?

VIC'S VIEW: The Law and Order FBI, and Justice

Wed, 10/28/2020 - 3:38pm Vic MacDonald

NOW THAT’S MORE LIKE IT - The FBI and the United States Department of Justice, taking down right-wing extremists.

When federal forces from the Department of Homeland Security arrived in Portland to defend a federal courthouse there, I said their time could be better spent infiltrating the left-wing and right-wing extremists who nearly have created a racial conflict in the United States.
