Removing fluoride from water would threaten health

DEAR EDITOR: All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, see my two front teeth. Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, then I could wish you “Merry Christmas.” The ghost of Christmas Future may be singing this with all Floridians with the removal of fluoride in H2O. Who sparked this inquiry? It came from the gravelly voice of RFK Jr, nominated for Health and Human Services secretary, and Florida’s Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, to end fluoride in water. The bright side: Grand Rapids, Michigan, became the first city to all fluoride to its water supply in 1945, 79 ...

Stop fretting about everything and enjoy life

DEAR EDITOR: For everyone in the country that was hoping for a different outcome of the presidential election on Nov. 5, here’s some advice. Turn off the news and quit looking at all the social media garbage out there. Focus on enjoying your life because the only changes you are going to see are cheaper gas and groceries, a secure border, less crime, healthier food ingredients, no wars and a lot less drug commercials on TV. The far left liberals that have been brainwashed during the Obama and Biden administrations by the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, the mainstream ...

Sound off!

No matter how large or small, no good deed should go unnoticed or unrecognized. These are good reminders that there are still positive people in this world. A prime example of such a deed occurred recently. There was cash money discovered outside a local church. Anonymously, it was turned in and handled properly. Due to the kindness and selfless acts of all involved, the money was given back to the church, in the manner it was intended. Without the good will of these individuals, the money could have been stolen or misplaced. Thank you for reminding me that people can still do things for ...

Never forget lessons of World War II

DEAR EDITOR: Since Veterans Day, I was once again looking through photos that my dad took while overseas during World War II. He was in a self-propelled AAA Automatic Weapons battalion and was their radioman, who repaired equipment and took his turn manning the anti-aircraft guns. I inherited his box of small black and white photos and negatives several years ago after my mom passed away. Growing up he seldom spoke of the war with my brothers and me. When he did share, it was usually some funny story. As I looked through the pictures, though, they revealed a different side of his ...

America, these years are going to hurt

DEAR EDITOR: Now that Donald Trump will be president, let’s clarify where our country’s economy stands at the moment. As it stands our economy is the envy of the world. What blurs this view here in the States is the fact that the action the Biden Administration took to ease the cost of living has just begun to take effect. What bothers me is the fact that if Donald Trump follows through with what he promised he would do, all the gains our economy has made since his disastrous management of the pandemic would be for naught. Something to think about, for the next two years at ...

Election is over, now it’s time to move on

DEAR EDITOR: Well, the election is over and time to take America back, the voters have spoken. I see people who make posts regurgitating the same thing that the liberal media puts out. Unlike those who do that, I listen to the person who is making statements and see if they are following through with what they said. I don’t give the analysts very much credence because I don’t need anyone telling me what they said or what they meant. If you look at the word analyst the first part of the word is anal. We were in good shape under Trump while the Democrats did everything wrong, ...
