Euphemism party Dear Editor, Ever notice that when the Democrats attain power, they seem to have this strategy of passing massive boondoggle legislation implementing their favorite Leftist projects, but they name them something innocent, perhaps even popular, to camouflage their true intent? Take Obamacare, the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.” The classic, “We’ll have to pass it to see what’s in it” socialist gem. Did it protect patients?

I have witnessed a convoy of school buses basically everyday drive and accelerate through the stop sign, and a crosswalk with ...

Backing Harris Dear Editor, Thursday, Aug. 22 marked the conclusion of the Democratic National Committee’s event and the grand opening of the Erin Willman and Warren Democratic Committee Headquarters. Although we predicted a turnout of around 12 individuals, instead the headquarters was bustling with enthusiastic Democrats, reflecting a strong presence in the rural counties often overshadowed by Republicans. I had the honor of hosting the event and addressing the citizens of Warren County. For those who were unable to attend, I want to share the key points from the opening ...
