Readers Speak

Winning spirit Dear Editor, As one who ministers in both the Youngsville and Warren communities, I found it especially encouraging to see in the news that the Youngsville Eagles banner charged onto Mike Shine Field on a recent Friday night. I had hoped that such an event would become a part of the football program’s regular schedule ever since the co-op arrangement was announced. While overdue in my opinion, it is wonderful to see Youngsville’s football players play again in their hometown. Our county is blessed with proud communities who strive to raise their children with the ...

On right track

Dear Editor, Listening to Donald Trump at a recent rally for gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, I was reminded of Trump’s strengths as our president. He cares about this country, he cares about the average American, he cares about unborn babies. And his policies showed that his actions backed up his words. Under Trump’s leadership America was energy independent, deregulation encouraged small businesses, low gas prices helped the working class, unemployment was low, and the southern border was being secured. We need men like Mastriano and Trump. Men who want what is good for ...

God’s Word matters most

Dear Editor, As I was reading the story in the Sept. 3 edition, I became curious about a couple of things. Have differences in the church now become front-page news in the local newspaper? But more importantly, since when does the Word of God come up for a vote? If they were knowledgeable in the Scriptures, they would know better. These things ought not to be. The bishop’s tragic error was when she used the analogy concerning the parting of ways between the apostle ...

Beating ourselves

Dear Editor, In the 1960s, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev said he would destroy America without an invasion. Today, however, we are being destroyed financially with all the foreign products being sold in the USA. Eight out of ten vehicles are foreign. That is a sad statistic for America. Honda and Toyota and others are building here. That does not benefit the USA one bit. They own the round the factories are built on and their profits go back overseas. To make things worse, Americans are selling their businesses to foreigners. We can’t even make our own semi-conductors needed ...

A mixed message

Dear Editor, The Small Business Administration provides data on lender-approved loans under the Paycheck Protection Program. The data includes names of the individuals and business’s who have received loans, the amount of the loan, and the date forgiven, if applicable. A review of the SBA site reveals that a local construction company received more than $1 million in hefty program payments — more than enough cash to buy his electronic sign to blame President Biden for inflation and the world’s problems. Fund for another local business was less but ample enough to acquire a ...

Voice from the past

Dear Editor, This is a comment on Times Observer article headlined, “Dem: Stop carrying guns in legislative offices.” George Washington said, “The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that is good.” Anyone who would derive you of the means of self protection deserves a place of dishonor.
