Holiday thanks Dear Editor, In this world that is full of hungry, homeless, poor, neglected children, and adults it is certainly hard to find the good in life sometimes. So, I decided that instead of watching the news I would make a list of some of the things I am thankful for. Try it sometime – it might even make you smile! I am so fortunate to have a husband who cares about me and cares for me. I have three of the most incredible children and five beautiful granddaughters. I am thankful for my extended family who have made me feel like I was their very own sisters. I am ...

No peace with Biden Dear Editor, An eastside business has a large electronic message sign. Recently, the message sarcastically thanked President Joe Biden for a “world at war.” Of course, it’s justified. Consider the timeline. Once inaugurated, Biden went to war on the abundant fossil fuels that provided energy independence during the Trump years. His shutdowns of pipelines and restrictions on drilling, along with huge federal spending, created the highest inflation in over four decades. Having surrendered our energy independence, we are a net importer of crude oil, even ...

Frugal suggestion Dear Editor, So what we are going to do with the middle of the roundabout is the question the powers that be are mulling over. I have a suggestion – actually a couple, but only one printable! – how about fill it with cement or rocks? Anything that’s not going to cost us more money for maintenance or repairs or anything else for that matter. You got what you wanted. It’’s in, now give us a break and don’t cost us anymore than you already have. Vickie Surdyk, Warren Weighing justice Dear Editor, In 1788, our Founding Fathers wrote a Constitution ...

Downward spiral Dear Editor, All one has to do is look at how far this country has depreciated under the Biden administration, and we’ll see how an inept individual can destroy a nation in less than three years. Is this what Joe Biden supporters expected to get for their votes? I don’t believe it is. This debacle is what happens when the government and media are complicit in the way they hide his inability to govern and the dubious entities surrounding his family. His desire to be president has been more important than what is best for the people of this country. Why he ...

Absence of sanity Dear Editor, Israel Apartheid. This is the biggest fallacy ever to be pinned on Israel. While the world gets to view the barbaric actions of this terrorist group, shameful students from what were once outstanding schools of higher learning turn to the streets in protest of Israel to defend themselves. The comment made earlier in this column about jackbooted Israel comes from the same mindset of pre-World War II Nazi Germany. Yes, they may exercise their freedom of speech, no matter how blind their eyes are to the truth. Never mind that the terrorists slaughtered ...

Dressing it up Dear Editor, Improprieties seem to be the accepted norm now. How sad that, due to one man’s attire, the dress code for the entire U.S. Senate is now in danger of sinking to such lowly depths. It is not a personal bias, as I voted for Fetterman. However, even though I was somewhat offended by his “play clothes,” I let it slide during his campaigning. Little did I know that, once elected to the Senate, he would have so little respect for the office that he would continue his slovenly appearance. Now, to learn that the U.S. Senate is seriously considering ...
