Letters to the Editor

Biden administration cause of its problems

To the editor: It turns my stomach to hear liberal Democrats belly aching about poor President Biden having so many things happening in his administration that he has to deal with. It’s so unfair to him to be criticized over things that just keep happening. I have news for those who are making these complaints: Biden and his administration have caused all these problems. (1) All the problems with illegal imigration, the deaths, the sexual assaults, the massive amaounts of drugs coming across the border, the property damage, the expense of taking care of and processing all the ...

Are you happy with Democrats in charge?

To the editor: Is everyone happy in America? After Obama and under President Trump, we all enjoyed lower gas prices, a good economy, more secure borders, a higher standard of living, good foreign policy, low inflation and no energy crisis. What we didn’t have then was a politician as president. We had an arrogant, narcissistic bully businessman for a president. Today we have pretty much the opposite. We have a career politician who is a documented liar, who only possesses the skills to be re-elected at what ever the cost. In the meantime, he, like most in Congress, has become a ...

What are the facts on kids in cages?

To the editor: This is in response to Mr. Sellers’ letter published on July 18 . Mr. Sellers, you are the one that needs to get your facts right, not just about the photographs of kids that were detained by Trump’s administration. Back to those kids. Let me ask you this — are you also going to claim that the video evidence and photos of kids in cages that were taken by The Associated Press when they were given a tour of an immigrant detention center in Texas during June 2018 (the midpoint of Trump’s administration) were faked? Or maybe you are going to toe the party line ...

‘Born again’ about more than words

To the editor: What does it mean to be truly “born again?” I ask this because I have heard over the years many who claim to be “born again” and understand it to be “asking Jesus into our hearts,” “making decision for Christ,” or walking an aisle and saying a prayer and all is okay. In many cases there is no change in the type of life they live. They feel that they are okay because they were told that they were and they could have Jesus as their Savior but do not need Him as their Lord. First we need to see the how we are “born again.” Jesus gave us an ...

After Jan. 6, support Freedom to Vote Act

To the editor: Anyone remember the protests following the 2016 presidential election and how supporters of Trump declared themselves the side that doesn’t protest when they lose elections at that time? It is not a tu quoque fallacy or whataboutism for me to point out that the Trump Train “America First” Nationalist movement failed miserably to prove to us that. The reason it isn’t a tu quoque or a whataboutism on my part is because the protests and riots in 2016 following Trump’s win were random and spontaneous. Such protests were not coordinated efforts to try to stop ...

State should make payments to residents

To the editor: Prices are going up and up, but House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff and the state GOP won’t take action to help ordinary Pennsylvanians. Pennsylvania State House candidate Robert Zeigler supports the Pennsylvania Opportunity Program bill, HB 2531, which would use American Rescue Plan money that Pennsylvania already has to give $2,000 directly to families with incomes of less than $80,000. Direct stimulus payments are the best way to spur economic growth and recovery and eliminate bureaucratic red tape. Voters regardless of political affiliation support these ...
