More skilled workers needed
For many years “American Workers Need You” has promoted the need for more skilled workers throughout the United States of America. It is great to hear in the national news media that America’s high school and college students are more focused on trade programs and highly skilled technical jobs that will provide them with job skills that will last them a lifetime. With the changes in the labor market, students are graduating college and are facing unpredictable or limited job opportunities and higher student debt. Younger Americans see there is a large demand for high-skilled workers, which will get them a positive return from attending schools that offer trade and technology programs.
It is also good to hear reports that large numbers of young Americans are focused on the job skills badly needed in the United States. In addition, America is experiencing the impact of inflation and found that employment opportunities in the trades pay well. They also see that America’s consumers are focused more on spending their dollars on what is made in the United States, which keeps Americans employed.
From the responses we receive, Americans never thought they would see our country reach the point where such a sizable percentage of products sold in America are foreign made. Now that we experienced the aftermath of many years of allowing America’s industries and jobs to be outsourced around the world, we have the chance of a lifetime to rebuild America’s industries with the latest technology and keep American workers on the job.
Our efforts are bipartisan and nonsectarian, and our goals have never changed: Buy American, support American workers, support American businesses and welcome more people to get involved so we can reach the present goal of a 50/50 balance between American made and foreign made where we shop. Thanks for your participation.

Biden’s predecessor
He stated, I’ll only be a dictator on the first day
Guaranteed whatever happens will naturally evolve his way.
First, declare martial law. That will be his acknowledged best
This will put every ounce of dissension to rest.
Policy and leadership positions will only be his cronies
“Yes men” at their best. No doubt a total bunch of phonies.
He’ll build a Secret Service of brainless, clueless and gullible
Gorillas who will be totally devoid of being caring or lovable.
His MAGA mob will follow like sheep and find
much camaraderie as all will be of equal mind.
He will never let pertinent facts cloud his every decree
Most First Amendment rights no longer will we see.
This DJ spins only misinformation and lies
And attracts only the frightened mindless flies.
Please wake up, dear citizens, of every rank and file
‘Cause every MAGA member practices daily screaming (hail victory) zeik heil.

The McGillin’s Man
As a former patron of McGillin’s Olde Ale House and the widow of a Korean War veteran, I was very moved by Mark Zimmaro’s report on the celebration of an almost lifelong bartender who also served in Korea (“A toast to John Doyle,” May 8). It brought back memories.
The Korean War lasted from 1950-1953. They used to accept the enlistment of teenage soldiers. My Stan was only 17 when it started (He needed his mom to sign a permission form). He was sent into the battlefield at 18 as a medic. John Doyle was also a young soldier when he served years later in the demilitarized zone. I consider all these young veterans heroic.
Later Doyle found his life’s work at the oldest continuously operating tavern in Philadelphia and one of the oldest taverns in the country since opening in 1860.
During my single years before meeting Stan in 1971, I included McGillin’s in my list of weekend watering holes. That was just several years before Doyle started working there. He could have been my bartender. What a fun idea!
So kudos to this brave, hardworking and dedicated bartender. May he and his family enjoy this year of celebration!
