Letters to the Editor

The fall of America?

To the Editor, Yes, it’s true. It is all Hillary Clinton’s fault. If the Democratic Party had not chosen to try and elect the first woman president in American history, Donald John Trump would still be selling real estate. Let’s hope the president that was not to be is not the chosen one by some deceitful deity to bring America to its knees while posing as our savior. What might the president under pressure of impeachment do? Referring to the FBI as scum is not a good start. With all yes-men in his cabinet complying with his every whim, are we safe? Sanctions: Making ...

Watching our history

To the Editor, Cal Thomas’ column, 11-19-19, “Forgetting our own history.” The problem with teaching America’s history? Up until the 1950s, everyone was teaching the mythical history of America. “Who chopped down the cherry tree?” The Civil War, Andersonville, Sherman’s March to the Sea. We have had some no-no’s in our history that people do not want to talk about, racism is number one. That’s why we quit teaching it. Even Sean Hannity admits we have had our dire moments. Vietnam, Nov. 1, 1955, April 30, 1975, 20 years. History is being made right now in our ...

Thanks for help with breakfast

To the Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Steele and Wolfe Funeral Home, its employees and Basil’s for sponsoring a Veterans Day breakfast. It was a wonderful event and very much appreciated. William Yacos Weirton

Thank you for Scouting for Food

To the Editor, I would like to thank Boy Scout Troop 334 and Cub Pack 334 of Weirton for collecting 1,311 food items for our food pantry this weekend. These items will be used to prepare Thanksgiving food baskets and food baskets throughout the year for needy families in our community. The Scouts have been collecting food items for Cove Presbyterian Church for over 30 years. I would also like to thank all the people who donated these items and to Shop-N-Save and Walmart who gave permission for the Scouts to collect these donations at their stores. Our community is blessed to have ...

U.S. now a rudderless ship

To the Editor, There is a rudderless ship in the world today, and it’s called the United States of America. President Trump’s eccentric behavior cannot continue to be shielded as that’s Trump being Trump. He has vowed on several occasions to take the oil in the Middle East. Coming from the president, how does that affect the soldier who is willing to sacrifice his or her life to promote democracy and freedom throughout the world? Have we, under Trump, now become an army of mercenaries that, eventually, will take oil, silver and gold? Trump’s public impeachment inquiry ...

Help those in need this Thanksgiving

To the Editor, The Bible tells us that we are to love and take care of each other. The Bible clearly teaches us in James 2:14-18, “14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I ...
