Obey our laws

Dear Editor, I’d like to comment about the 13 year old boy who was shot by Utica, New York, police officers. With all due respect to the family, this boy and his parents came into the United States to obtain a better life for themselves, although at the tax payers expense. Again. Since these individuals are gaining access into the United States, would you agree they should be given a Crash Course on American Laws? Then proceed to educate some of the American people on the same laws. They might learn what it is to engage a police officer instead of running from them when ...

Reader responds about Biden

Dear Editor, Having read Bill Bryant’s letter in Sunday, July 7th paper I can’t believe he has been living in the St. Clairsville area or in the United States where I’ve been living, OR, he’s been in a coma for the last 3 1/2 years for him to actually believe what he wrote? If Jill Biden truly loves her husband more than the power of the presidency, she would lovingly help him step down for the good of the country and democracy before a horrible catastrophe happens because of all the terrorists and illegal migrants Biden has allowed to enter the United States as they burn the ...

Holiday travel made affordable by Ohio natural energy

Dear Editor, Ahead of the Fourth of July weekend, many Ohioians will begin preparing their travel plans, the majority of which will include a stop at a gas station. If you make a stop, you will not only be able to celebrate the holiday, but also the low gas prices we’ve been seeing in Ohio. Since the end of May we’ve seen falling gas prices for weeks in the Columbus area. The average price of gas is now $3.23 per gallon. This is an almost 40 cent drop since May, where gas prices averaged $3.62 a gallon. The prices for Ohioians are not only 17 cents less than the national ...

So long, Joe

Dear Editor, It breaks my heart to say this: “So long Joe.” Wow! What a great Presidency you have given us. Not just for the United States but for the whole world. Joe defied the naysayers and rescued the economy against all odds and opposition. The U.S. economy leads the rest of the world, by a significant amount. Joe brought us back from the COVID disaster. He gave us new confidence in our ability to win great battles. Joe showed stupid Trump how to get major infrastructure legislation through Congress - -the start of rebuilding our country is well underway. Joe is ...

Billionaires

Dear Editor, According to the Columbus (AP) — the effort against Issue 1, called One Person One Note — raised $14.8 million in contributions while the coalition supporting the measure, called Protect our Constitution, received $4.8 million. Take note, the big money, big change is billionaire activists from out of state and country, who are willing to spend more of their own money to enact their radical agenda to take our rights away. These doomsday shenanigans that played out in other states have now come to Ohio. You can bet your bottom dollar that the side spending the most ...

Looking Ahead

Dear Editor, I turned 87 last week, and my wife of 64 years will turn 87 in six weeks. I wish to share what I am looking forward to with my Republican friends: ∫ President Biden’s reelection. ∫ Donald Trump’s sentence to prison for 34 felonies. ∫ The Democrat’s winning both the Senate and House of Representatives. ∫ Expansion of the U.S. Supreme Court from nine to thirteen members. ∫ A Code of Ethics for the Supreme Court. ∫ More Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DEI). ∫ End of wars in Gaza and the Ukraine. ∫ Two state solution for both the ...
