America has to fix its error of not thinking

DEAR EDITOR: This may be my last letter to the editor. People everywhere, not just in the U.S., are failing themselves and each other by simply believing instead of thinking. The biggest lie in the Bible causing most of humanity’s problems is the one where men wrote, not God, that Israel is the chosen nation and (Israelis) the chosen people of God. It is easier to believe than to think what that means; and we see today exactly what that means. Israel has been able to recruit and use people - persuading them into killing children and committing genocide, all under the false ...

You broke it, so then you bought it

DEAR EDITOR: I’m going to say this as respectfully, or disrespectfully, as I possibly can. I’m already seeing the posts on social media from those who voted for the winner of the presidential election bemoaning “losing friends over a stupid election,” essentially saying we have to go along to get along going forward. Absolutely not. Look, the most recent elections have not been defined by simple policy differences as they were decades ago. No, these most recent elections are defined by, literally, whether or not we believe all people deserve to have basic human and civil ...

American experiment worth the effort

ΩEAR EDITOR: Election Day is over at last. It’s not like it was our first time going through this process; to some extent it happens every year. It’s part of our heritage as a representative democracy. At this point, I’m not sure we understand this. As our country grew, the need for a well-run government became more evident with each passing day. We may not have wanted the outcome but we continued to ask for more and more services from people representing us. Initially, it was for treaties with other countries and armed forces to protect our interests abroad. To imagine how ...

End TB Now Act can show national unity

DEAR EDITOR: It seems as if there is little which can be agreed upon in the current political environment. One of the things which crosses the aisle is the desire for the U.S. to tackle the biggest challenges of our time. Tuberculosis is a respiratory illness that currently kills more people worldwide than any other infectious disease, including COVID. In 2022 alone, 1.3 million people died from TB worldwide. The good news is that the impact of this disease can be effectively managed with some resources and organization. The End TB Now Act requires the U.S. to prioritize TB resources ...

Community must assess the work force

DEAR EDITOR: Let’s see: our parents and grandparents worked at Copperweld, U.S. Steel, McDonald Steel, Republic Steel, not to mention Lordstown, which employed 12,000, and Packard, 15,000. You want people to come here by creating 50 to 100 jobs? It’s not going to work. I told both my children to leave because the jobs are not here anymore; this was over 20 years ago. They sent those jobs to foreign countries. The domino effect took over. What’s left? A retirement community with shopping and restaurants and no work force to employ. No one is inventing jobs or creating jobs for ...

Election Day was a referendum

DEAR EDITOR: On Election Day, Nov. 5, the voters of this country said enough is enough. Tired of a very bad, weak and sick president along with massive inflation, an immigration crisis, high unemployment, high prices for everything along with two wars and a crappy foreign policy the Democrats were justly defeated - and in a massive way. Look at the map and note the hundreds of solid blue counties that voted red. An amazing referendum on the lying, corrupt, deep-state, puppet government we’ve suffered through the last four years. They propped up an embarrassing leader that, at ...
