Bethlehem Interfaith Group (BIG) to Host Candlelight Vigil For Ukraine Tonight

 A candlelight vigil commemorating the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, including speakers and music, will be conducted tonight, 7:30 pm, at Bethlehem's Paytrow Plaza. (right by City Hall at 10 E Church Street, Bethlehem, Pa.)

From The Wall Street Journal: “Beijing is watching closely, to see the price Russia pays, or the reward it receives, for its aggression. What is happening in Europe today can happen in Asia tomorrow,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg warned the Munich Security Conference this month. “If Putin wins in Ukraine, the message to him and other authoritarian leaders will be that they can use force to get what they want. This will make the world more dangerous and us more vulnerable.”

  1. If you believe that, stand with Ukraine. Too many MAGAs stand with Putin.

  3. The greatest weapon used against America over the past decade is LYING. Lying to Americans by fellow Americans on every level, every step of the way. It’s pointless to repeat what one’s read or heard elsewhere about most any topic. Beyond sad, it’s dangerous to all.

  4. Bernie if you believe that there is another all day sucker being sold to you with some spin! Seek help fast as you too suffer from unaddressed mental illnesses with an unlimited amount of diognosses. Also with your leprechaun background not only do you shit green now a rainbow flows from your ass.

  5. Is it OK to hate lefties and MAGAs and war cheerleaders and simply be opposed to proxy wars? Where are the strong? Who are the heroes? Can't somebody agree on the shape of the negotiating table and attempt to speak vs kill? 500 children dead. But you want more war? WTF? Stop picking sides and pick peace. These posts are sickening. Our grandchildren will curse us for this, the same way a current generation curses Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon for sending tens of thousands of nineteen year olds to die for absolutely no reason. I suspect your grandchildren are aging out and are not in danger of serving the country in uniform? Mine aren't. I care. As this drags on with more and more US funding, we move closer to sending our future to die in another war their stupid grandparents thought in their dotage was a cool idea. again, sickening.

  6. Frankly, I'm done with Ukraine. Done hearing about it. Done being concerned about it. Ukraine can get bent.

    Putin and Trump are pretty much the same thing.

    Vladimir Putin and Xi Jing Peng must be very proud of you.

  9. Isolationism, nationalism and protectionism - the three headed monster - rears its ugly head yet again.

    " I suspect your grandchildren are aging out and are not in danger of serving the country in uniform? Mine aren't. I care."

    Um, we have sent no troops nor have we been asked to send any nor has anyone suggested we do so. This is a red herring.

    "China is the strongest country and they'll kick our butt if we ever get in a war with them."

    Really? Just before the invasion, Russia was rated the world's second most powerful military. Look how that turned out.

    Things war drummers say while spoiling for war. It's like fucking for virginity. Just the tip! I want your grandkids first in line when it happens. First. In. Line.

  11. You're a vulgar person. Ordinarily, I'd delete you, but a comment like this actually weakens your argument. We have no intention of sending troops, nor have we been asked to do so.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
