Letters to the Editor

Is it really terrible?

To the Editor, What terrible times are we really having? Just watching the world going by and I just do not get it. Watching TV I see thousands of our youth having a great time in the Sunshine State with music and drinking and doing about anything they want. Then I see on TV what terrible times we all are having, like the world’s coming to a end. Sure does not look that way to me. I bet planes are full and people are paying huge amounts of money to stay in a room for a week. Is this all those stimulus checks we are getting? Love to know exactly how ...

Spring has sprung…I think

To the Editor, Okay folks, here is some chilly tidbits to think of. 1. Snow stay away. 2. No more school two-hour delays. 3. Digging out you car in the driveway. 4. Sliding on ice while going to work. 5. Sub-freezing temperatures. Now...let us think of some warmer tidbits. 1. Birds are tweeting in the morning. 2. You actually get to enjoy that cup of morning coffee...finally. 3. The kids are happy to go to school. 4. Easter Bunny will soon be here. 5. Major League Baseball has begun spring training. 6. National Football League draft is in April. Time to plant ...

Time to wake up

To the Editor, There is one thing about freedom of speech; it includes a lot of misinformation. No matter who you are reading or watching, if you read the word woke, quit. Half the pundits haven’t “woke” up to concerns in social justice or racial justice. Trouble at the border. From one administration to the next, it’s always homemade. There’s trouble at the southern border for over 185 years. David Crockett, Jamie Bowie and William Travis. “Remember the Alamo.” The worst thing a nation can do under any rulership from democracy to military dictatorship is the rich ...

Severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome

To the Editor, Steve Kopa has been writing letters to the paper for years slamming Donald Trump and Republicans. He was struggling last week going through the dictionary finding a word to describe Trump. (“Severe case of Trumpitis,” March 7.) He has a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Outside of Nancy Pelosi nobody lives with TDS more than this writer. Also stated in his letter, “Biden will do his best to reverse all of Trump’s blunders. Let’s look at some of the 40-plus “magic pen” executive orders President Joe Biden was told to sign that are hurting our ...

Severe case of Trumpitis

To the Editor, I hate to admit to this, but for one second, maybe a half second, I felt a little bit of sorrow for citizen Donald J. Trump on his flight to Mar-a-Largo still denying he was not the president because the election was rigged and stolen from him. It’s official: Joe Biden is president. Former President Trump talked at CPAC and mentioned President Biden’s name at least 40 times, telling the public what Biden was going to do. He does not realize he has been president for the last four years and the mess the United States finds itself in happened on his watch, and that ...

Thank you, Weirton Water Department

To the Editor, I would like to give a big shout out to the four men of the Weirton Water Department for doing a great job on a water line break on North 13th Street. They were out bright and early on this extremely cold day to fix and get the water to my home restored. They did an outstanding job. They were excellent in their work and deserve a lot of praise for coming ou in all kinds of weather. Thank you guys again. Madona Smearman Weirton
