Healing our nation after chaos To the Editor: We have seen our spiritual decline from 67% attending church regularly in 1960 to 30% today. We have experienced BLM, Planned Parenthood, defund police, abortion, transgenders in women’s sports and recently Pro-Palestinian demonstrations that have divided this great nation of ours. We have seen our history questioned, our justice system weaponized, hate growing exponentially, corruption/bribery/deceit/blatant lies/moral decline accepted, and an alarming national debt due to wasteful spending and shoring up our enemies like Iran. With ...

I would like to provide some good news to those looking for it.

‘Twas the night before Jesus came To the Editor: ‘Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house Not a creature was praying not one in the house Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care In hopes that Jesus would come there.

When out of the East there arose such a clatter I sprung to my feet to see what was the matter Away to the window I flew like a flash Tore open ...

Open border policies causing undue chaos To the Editor: How did we get into this? The ship is sinking and the crew are doing nothing about it, which is to say that the border is open, and thousands of people are pouring in each day while nobody is doing anything to stop it. These are people with no idea of what they’re getting into, but expect that somehow things will be better for them. The costs of caring for them, which result from reasonable charity for people in need, are funds that were for the regular care of people already here, in terms of safety and health services and ...

Citizens could ‘put out the fire’ To the Editor: Remember the song by Billy Joel, “We didn’t start the fire”? We are at a moment in time that could easily fill the next verse of that song! Crossfire hurricane, FBI is to blame. Covid had by everyone, Treatment for it’s never done. Insurrection at the Capitol, Trump’s defiance pivotal. Democrats spend to save, Inflation kills what we crave. Criminal Floyd made a martyr, BLM wants the home dollar. Borders open wide for anyone, Who’s coming in? Everyone! Hunter sells the Brand ...

Thank you to emergency responders at Kish Apartments fire To the Editor: I’m writing to praise all the good folks from Fire Chief Bob Bartlett, all firemen, and EMT/ambulance crews who answered the fire call at Kish Apartments on Thanksgiving. I’ve lived here for just over three years. I have been through all three fires. I really appreciate how fast they put out the fire and helped everyone who was injured, sadly except for one. Thanks to Mayor Debbie (Bargo), the Red Cross and the office folks and maintenance crew here at Kish Apartments. Also, thanks to Calvary (Bible) ...
