Time for limits Dear Editor, Congress and Senate should have term limits just like the President. All we have now are old geezers who have been in office all their lives. Become millionaires. They think only of themselves and not what’s good for our country. They lie and steal and never go to jail, because they have the money to pay off whoever. These proceedings that are going on right now will only put some little guy in jail, because he has no money to pay someone off. Carl A. Rozzelle, Russell Injustice for a mom Dear Editor, When we read the recent article on the ...

A recent letter stated that the Jan. 6 committee is just there to try to deflect how bad President Joe Biden is doing. And I will agree that he isn’t doing a good job at all. However, the Jan. 6 committee is not about deflection. It’s about an angry mob that tried to violently overthrow the government. Trump supporters still just can’t admit this to themselves. I’m really not sure what kind of alternate reality Trump supporters live in, but It’s not the real world. They seem to be OK with ...

Are we at a crisis now?

Dear Editor, Don’t you ever get tired? So, I’ve been seeing a lot of comments by residents lately. As usual, these have been by a lot of the same ole sage writers, formerly ranting about Donald J. Trump and how he had to go and what a bad man he was. And now, having succeeded in helping to get rid of a leader, who got us through an unprecedented economic crisis, brought on by the “Never let a crisis go to waste,” crowd, guess what?
