True colors Dear Editor, We just saw what is purported to be a group of leaders from the Democrat party show why the election went to Donald Trump. During the recent speech to Congress they figuratively sat on their hands, even when there were reasons to show approval to what was said. A young boy battling cancer was made an honorary Secret Service agent. That brought tears to my eyes, and they sat with stone faces. Females dressed in pink protesting Trump’s policies concerning what they feel are women’s rights, showed their hypocrisy when POTUS stated women’s sports are ...

Indifference to damage Dear Editor, This is an open letter to Congress: I am writing this letter to express my deep concerns over what is currently happening in Washington, especially in terms of President Donald Trump’s shameless overriding of the Constitution by freezing needed funds and slashing and dismantling needed agencies authorized by Congress, which is meekly standing aside, falling in line, and allowing him to do this. Real people here in Pennsylvania and across the nation are being hurt by these actions, and real damage is being done in countless areas — agriculture, ...

Holiday spirit Dear Editor, Last November, families, churches, individuals and groups in Warren County donated gift-filled shoeboxes to Operation Christmas Child, a project of international Christian relief and evangelism organization Samaritan’s Purse. These simple gifts, messages of hope, let children around the world know they are loved and not forgotten. For many, these will be the first gifts they have ever received. The numbers are now in and over 18,240 gifts were sent from Warren, Crawford and Erie counties, including 2595 dropped off at Pleasant Community Church. This ...

Dropping calls Dear Editor, I was very happy to hear we have some progressive township supervisors, poorly paid my I add, willing to form a partnership with a nonprofit to find a solution to the problem of residents with no access to high speed internet. If you do a search of the Times Observer you can find dozens of articles covering what paid County Commissioners were doing to bring Broadband to the county. We have been told they were holding $7.5 million dollars of the Counties American Rescue Plan allocation to match broadband state and fed grants. In 2021, they turned down a ...

Values and religion Dear Editor, A few weeks ago I wrote a letter about immigration and the Bible. I received many comments, mostly “Are you advocating for open borders because of Old Testament Law?” My reply was: “Read it again.” Perhaps some did. Recently there was a response to the article in the Times Observer, a well researched, well thought out, and well written article. It points out the danger in picking and choosing verses or words from any Holy Book to justify policies and political actions. And that is just what I hoped my words had conveyed. A rebuttal ...

Taking sides Dear Editor, I am writing to you all in hope it is not another meaningless dead end go nowhere commentary on the endless political division in our country. Here it is: We have both sides of the aisle in government at local, state, and national levels. We have division in our daily lives in our conversations with friends and neighbors also, why? How did the gap between opposing ideologies get so far apart that we cannot find common ground to solve a problem of any significance anymore? The left wing progressive haters attempted to stop at nothing to keep Trump ...
