No tributes to treason Dear Editor, Confederate monuments that include Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, John Bell Hood, James Longstreet, George Pickett and many more who fought against the United States are tributes to treasonous despots who exacted dominion over African Americans. Their right place in the text of American history is now being exacted as it is long overdue that their sins against humanity are at the fore. The complaining party at the bar is that of civilization, and more importantly, black citizens. Seldom, if ever, has a county to war to protect the rights of ...

Details are missing Dear Editor, Readers are not getting enough information about COVID-19 cases in Warren. We have a right to know the details. At the beginning, health officials said they wanted information. But once they get it, that information is not getting released to the public. Joe Werth, Warren Perfect night out Dear Editor, If you live in or near Warren and you didn’t take advantage of the June 27 evening’s perfect weather with a free outdoor concert (sponsored by Northwest Bank) held at Soldiers and Sailors park by a musical trio called, “The Jays,” well, ...

Getting past privilege Dear Editor, In a recent edition (July 2) a reader writes, “If all lives don’t matter, then no lives matter. Anything less is racist.” This has become a frequently cited rebuttal to the peaceful protesters who chant “Black lives matter,” and the Black Lives Matter movement, itself. While somewhat clever, if one’s objective is to dismiss the concerns about police brutality perpetrated against African Americans, it completely misses the point. The value of white lives and blue lives is not in question. It is black lives that are jeopardized and ...

Voter fraud Dear Editor: The nearly 67 county suit brought by the Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. campaign with Congressmen Glenn Thompson and Mike Kelly is blatant proof of their disregard for the health and lives of the citizens of our Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and nation. It is undeniable evidence of their putting politics before the wellbeing of constituents. Just as these same people have pushed for businesses to reopen and the economy to be returned to “normal” and not fostering wearing masks, so too they wish to endanger voters like me who voted by mail in the PA ...

Leadership is failing Dear Editor, The way to effectively deal with a pandemic is actually quite well known: a coordinated nationwide effort including comprehensive testing, tracing, and isolation when needed to nip outbreaks in the bud; consistent physical distancing and mask-wearing in public; and a careful stepwise reopening of the economy after the initial shutdown. Over the past four months, most other nations in the world have used these approaches to successfully manage the COVID-19 virus and move their economies forward. But America’s effort to do so has been a ...

Don’t just stand there Dear Editor, The wrong statues are coming down. The ones to take down should be the walking, zombie-like Democrats. Today’s DNC and supporters are nothing but divisive, communist thugs. They do not like the United States of America and their ideology of hate is a virus exponentially more harmless than Huan. Opportunity to topple: Nov. 3, 2020. Do not make the historical mistake of note vote. For example, those who did not vote in 2012 were a vote for the Obama-Biden ticket. The government you get is the government you deserve. So, to stand or not to ...
