Funding for public education is a state’s duty To the Editor: It is NOT the Federal Government’s obligation to establish or fund public education. Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution lists the powers of the Congress, and establishing and funding public education is not one of those powers. The 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution grants power to the states and the people for any powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution. Therefore, the power to establish and fund public education is granted to the people and their elected ...

Gas price hike causes domino effect To the Editor: When the Democrats say that they want to put price limits on the things that we buy to stop inflation, I think they are barking up the wrong tree. I think all that will do is cause shortages of all types of products and services. I feel inflation was caused, for the most part, when Biden and the Democrats cut away with our oil and natural gas production. The shortage of our energy production caused the price of fuel to go way up. Gasoline and diesel fuel went up by as much as two to three and even four dollars a gallon. When ...

Reader: ‘Make Pennsylvania Great Again’ To the Editor: On Sept. 10, I watched the presidential debate hosted by another of the left-wing media outlets. I know that in the minds of the left, Harris was the winner for she championed many of their criteria. The problem is that many of our citizens are not aware of the underlying goals and propaganda spewed by the avowed Marxists and advanced in many of our universities and colleges, one of which the admitted Marxist father of Harris is a professor. In my opinion, each of her goals was to move our capitalist society to that of a ...

Remember suicide awareness month, check in To the Editor: As we enter September I want to remind everyone that it is suicide awareness month. I know all eyes are on the election but do not forget this important month. We cannot forget those we have lost and those who still struggle today. I am going to share a fact about myself. When I was 20 I tried to commit suicide. It was the hardest decision I have ever made. I did not want to be here anymore. If you know what that feels like I am sorry. The point of my sharing this is not for people who feel this way but for the people ...

Response to Trump assassination attempt lacking To the Editor: Enough already. This afternoon, Donald Trump’s life was spared a second time. Like a cornered wild animal, the left has come out kicking – anything to keep Donald Trump from wrecking their campaign. I think their very existence is threatened, and they know it. The response from Kamala Harris? She stated that she was glad Donald Trump was safe. Oh, and there is no place for violence in America. Violence in America? Does she mean black-on-black murders in Philadelphia, Chicago, and other Democrat-run cities that ...
