Letters to the Editor

Expose them all

Dear Editor, “Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them.” Ephesians 5:11 First, let me say this about Legacy Media. You have destroyed our trust in the media and I hope and pray you all go the way of the dinosaur…extinct. According to the Columbia Journalism Review, USAID supported 6,200 journalists, 707 news outlets, and 279 media sector civil society organizations in 30 different countries. No wonder the news all sounded the same. Isn’t it amazing the leftist are screaming at the top of their lungs against the revealing of all the ...

Property Tax Fiasco

Dear Editor, Does everyone in the Belmont County courthouse and elected representatives in Columbus hate property owners? Over 300 upset property owners gathered at Undo’s (Wednesday) to plan self-defense measures concerning the highest property tax increases in Ohio history. Every Undo’s parking spot was full well before the meeting started. It was standing room only. Everyone knows if taxes are not paid the government can confiscate all property. People must pay taxes, regardless if they feed kids, pay mortgages, heat the house or buy clothes. The government takes their amount ...

Timing is everything in America

Dear Editor, With regard to the subject of “Timing Is Everything,” well, in ways. Tis’ not “everything” but in many measures it matters greatly. Our 47th President might say, “Bigly”… It is a time for Americans to lead the world with a moral compass. The founders formed a nation with God’s way to “Trust”. Our nation has been through many attacks. Diplomacy became “Trust, But Verify”. After WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, President Ronald Reagan, with great help from the Heritage Foundation, brought back “Peace Through Strength”. If heritage matters ...

The Trump image vs. reality

Dear Editor, Is it not obviously hypocritical for multibillionaire Donald J Trump who promoted himself and the Republican Party in the recent U.S. presidential election as strong supporters of and advocates on behalf of working Americans and the poor as he has overwhelmingly selected the wealthiest among us including no fewer than 11 multi billionaires to serve in top cabinet positions. As well as a multitude of billionaire advisors that he plans to employ as part of the incoming Trump administration to help him run the federal government? Recall also how Republicans including Trump ...

Grateful for generosity of Ohio Valley

Dear Editor, The overwhelming generosity of the people of Martins Ferry​ helped provide joy to children in need through Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts this season.

Shoebox packers brought joy and hope to children around the world through fun, full, personalized gifts. For many children, this is the first gift they have ever ...

Contempt

Dear Editor, In 2016, when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton became the candidate to run against businessman Donald Trump instead of Vice President Biden, Biden never expected to return to politics. But in 2020, his status as Vice President and mental state recommended him to be the candidate to beat President Trump thanks to the COVID Crisis generated in China by utilizing the Carter-Baker Election Commission’s finding that the most easily abused election procedure was “Mail-in Ballots”! Although thoroughly corrupt, the triumphant President Biden never understood how he was ...
