Modern extension of the 1964 civil rights bill Beware of what is happening in Washington, D.C., where the so-called Equality Act is now in the Senate after passing the House with President Biden’s support. This act is supposedly an extension of the 1964 civil rights bill which was to help ethnic groups, not liberal/unconventional groups like the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) folks who think they are entitled to anything they want with little or no discrimination. This act will affect all institutions, public, p...

ODESSA – Odessa residents may have noticed a new sign downtown. Last week, employees of LocalTel Communications installed the sign on the front of the building in which their local Odessa offices are located. The sign advertises both LocalTel and the local Chamber of Commerce. Calling it a new sign, however, is a bit of a misnomer. The sign itself is quite old. Originally, the sign contained a clock and was attached to the building diagonally across First Avenue from L...
