3-time Trump voter in Pennsylvania now calls him "a worthless piece of shit"

Jonathan Allen reports:

Amanda Robbins is angry about the war with Iran. She’s angry about the price of gas.  

But mostly, the 35-year-old resident of Millersburg, Pennsylvania, is mad at herself for backing President Donald Trump at the ballot box. Not once, not twice. 

“Three times,” Robbins said while she fueled up at the Penn Jersey Mart here. “That was my bad. Apparently, I’m an idiot.” 

Robbins was so fed up that she used an expletive to describe the president: “a worthless pile of s---.”

MISCREANT PREACHERS: Sexual assault in the Name of the Lord (#279 in a series)

Photo and headline:  WSFB, 3/15/2026

Quinn Pramberger and Luke Hajdasz report:

Father Laurence LaPointe, pastor of Corpus Christi Parish in Willimantic, was placed on administrative leave March 6 by the Diocese of Norwich following an investigation by the Connecticut Department of Children and Families into an allegation of abuse of a minor in Connecticut in the early 1970s. 

The Diocese learned last week that LaPointe had also been indicted in Maryland on charges of committing a sex offense with someone under the age of 14 and causing abuse to a child under 18. 

Both alleged offenses date to the mid-1970s. Corpus Christi Parish is made up of three churches: Saint Mary, Saint Joseph and Sagrado Corazon de Jesus, all in Willimantic. Diocese of Norwich Bishop Richard Reidy said in a statement: 

“The seriousness of the allegations necessitated his removal from ministry as a precautionary measure while the investigations and legal proceedings continue.”

Understaffing: How big business creates chaos for consumers (CVS edition)

 

Headline:  The American Prospect, 3/19/2026

Robin Kaiser-Schatzlein reports:

The changing nature of business ownership may contribute to the trend, as owners are increasingly removed from day-to-day realities. Regulators have found systemic understaffing by large corporate chains, for example, leading to unprecedented enforcement action. In 2021, the Ohio Board of Pharmacy discovered CVS pharmacies with barricaded walk-up windows that diverted all customers to the drive-through, because there was only one pharmacist on duty to deal with customers. Unopened boxes and deliveries littered pharmacist workstations, while the heat in the building rose above safe levels. Some patients had to wait over a month to have their prescriptions filled. “Pharmacy staff asked for assistance from a pharmacist and pharmacy technician to fill prescriptions after hours to get caught up,” the board’s report reads. “They were denied, stating there is no staffing available to do so.” Investigators first visited one CVS store in March, and when they returned in October, they noted that every worker interviewed in the first report just months earlier was gone. In 2024, the board settled a $1.5 million fine against the chain.  

[snip] 

Increased corporate concentration plays a role in understaffing, as seen vividly in the Ohio Board of Pharmacy’s report on the business practices of CVS. CVS, the sixth-largest corporation in America and one of two major pharmacies, has a history of buying out competitor pharmacies, only to close them and divert business to their main store. This increased business does not come with additional staff, drowning pharmacists and store employees with more than they can handle.
