Dear Editor, In response to Mr. Marple letter of 2-27-17, he states that Obama has rats or spies in the FBI and intelligence community. I’m curious as to how he obtained that information. Where is the proof? Who do these rats report to? This is a bombshell, to say the least. Do these ...

Dear Editor, The Sunday school pundit has shared yet another version of alternative facts with your readers — this time it’s a ratty conspiracy theory concerning “left wing Marxist progressives.” He dubs them the “alt left,” a term invented by his fellow conspiracy lovers, and ...

Dear Editor, After reading another hate-filled rant about rats from one who speaks of God far too often, I submit this for your further enjoyment. All the money in the world cannot fix stupid. Nor can it take away the smell of a coward. You can wrap yourself in the flag and throw in some ...

Dear Editor, Donald Trump continues to insist on building a wall along the 1,954-mile border with Mexico. He has repeatedly said that Mexico will pay for the wall. He has since learned otherwise. His latest plan calls for a 20 percent tax on imports coming from Mexico. In my world, the ...

Dear Editor, In response to Mr. Patsche’s Sunday letter to the editor, I would first like to point out that the author of the piece that Ashley Judd performed at the March on Washington is not “unknown.” She is a 19-year-old spoken word poet, Nina Donovan, from Tennessee. Her poem was a ...
