The Wheeling Alternative
Delegate Pat McGeehan on guns and abortion
He’s not quite the constitutional conservative that he thinks he is
Last Tuesday, Bishop Mark Brennen of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston issued a statement calling for more action on gun violence. (The Wheeling Intelligencer carried it here.) From that statement:
“We have put our heads in the sand so that we don’t have to face the truth: the proliferation of guns is a strong contributing . . .
Is Trump done?
Maybe not, but it would appear that Trump has lost the Wheeling Intelligencer
I’m trying not to make too big of a deal out of it (I realize that it’s not quite at the level of Lyndon Johnson losing Walter Cronkite in 1968), but today, Donald Trump appears to have lost the Wheeling Intelligencer. This morning, not one, but two of the Intelligencer’s syndicated columnists suggested that it’s time for Trump to leave . . .
Reading the local Ogden papers on the day after election day
Four Republican constitutional amendments lose and this is their top story?
What was today’s top story in Wheeling, West Virginia?

Yesterday and today, the Wheeling Intelligencer devoted almost 5,000 words to cover two important elections
Unfortunately for West Virginians, the races are in Ohio

A question: Why did WV’s attorney general, Patrick Morrisey, use the state and its resources to defend Donald Trump?
Likely answer: To show his devotion to all-things-Trump; Morrisey also knows that no one will hold him accountable
From “GOP attorneys general back Trump in court fight over Mar-a-Lago documents,” by Andrew Jeong and Amy B Wang, in Wednesday’s Washington Post:
Texas’s Ken Paxton and 10 other GOP state attorneys general came to the defense of former president Donald Trump on Tuesday in his legal fight over documents the FBI seized last month, . . .
They ought to drop “Republican” from their name
Our local Republican/Trump Party turns a good idea into a Trump rally
Local readers may have read in yesterday’s paper about the creation of an “appreciation day” for first responders planned by the Ohio County Republican Party. The event was to culminate at the White Palace with a showing of Dinesh D’Souza propaganda film, “2000 Mules.” Apparently, our local Republican/Trump Party did not check first with the . . .

Former WV Republican Delegate Derrick Evans: “A good person . . . caught up in a moment”?!
Yeah, right
From an AP report in the Wheeling Intelligencer on June 23:
Ex-West Virginia Lawmaker Sentenced to 3 Months for Role in Capitol Riot
It begins:
A former West Virginia lawmaker who livestreamed himself on Facebook storming the U.S. Capitol and cheering on what he described as a “revolution” was . . .
