Letters to the Editor

Stop fighting amongst yourselves

To the Editor, I’m so sick and tired of hearing about this immigration. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not a cruel person or even a Republican, but just look at how many are trying to get in. Where would they put all of them. We have people in the United States who was born and raised here and worked here, who have had been turned away for help from the government. Here is an example, this person has cancer and went for help and was told he has to work until he dies. Mind you, born and raised in the United States, and then you have an immigrant who is complaining about not having ...

A frenzy over failure

To the Editor, The current frenzy among members of the press, congressmen and other progressives to enact legislation for more gun control will result in hundreds of more pages of regulations which purport to prevent multiple slayings such have occurred recently. Their efforts will only end in failure. Perhaps the reason these mass murderers have carried out their heinous crimes is simply that they are unable to understand the present laws governing the use of firearms. Some believe enacting a “red flag law” would prevent this slaughter. It may stop a few but it introduces a ...

Letters can be very strange

To the Editor, This is the first time that I have made a response to a letter to the editor. This is referring to Rob Denham’s letter “Pathetically desperate” that appeared in the Aug. 18 edition. Over time, Denham has been severe in his attacks on Democrats in letters to the editor. Quote by Denham: “Speaking of shameless Democrats, is anyone else tired of the constant flow of ridiculous inflammatory rhetoric from liberals and Democrats, toward people who disagree with them?” Look up President Trump’s tweets and watch him on TV and see clips from his rallies. It’s the ...

Destabilization of America

To the Editor, Let’s talk about where we stand. Capitalism: The super rich control everything Democracy: Rule by the people. Socialism: The government controls everything. A curveball distraction to what is coming. Since 2000, the plot has been to obliterate the middle class and control the masses. It’s worked very well. Very few companies guarantee permanent positions with stability, bonuses, pension benefits and opportunities to move up are rare. In Trump’s hocus-pocus economy, jobs that are being created now won’t be around in five years. What’s next? Aristocracy, ...

It’s time to enjoy a laugh

To the Editor, When’s the last time you’ve heard a good hearty belly laugh? A genuine laugh right from the gut traveling all the way up to the top of the head? One that shakes the very core of one’s being? Not in quite a while, I’ll venture. On TV it’s the programmed laughter of a claque responding on cue to a moldy joke told by the guest comedian, while a widespread viewer audience chortles along in a Pavlov’s dog manner. For college frat brothers, it’s yukking it up at a prank pulled off on some plebe, while for the frat sisters, it’s tittering over some guy they ...

Gas and food prices still killing the economy

To the Editor, I think we all know that the United States is the No.1 in gas exploration and exporting, and still gas prices are as high as $2.80 a gallon. People on Social Security need a break. Gas prices should be $2 a gallon if not lower. Try living on fixed income and see what happens. You cannot go out as much, and when you do you’re looking for deals. Food prices right now are simply out of sight with a common salad selling for over $12. Crazy! Buy and good burger and you’re over $7. Unheard of. My grocery bills have gone up over $60 more than I was paying eight ...
