Letters to the Editor

Difference between common sense and politics

Dear Editor, Guns? Why should we possess firearms? Innocent people get killed and there’s plenty of food in the grocery stores. Aliens? Any Tom, Dick or Harry is allowed in the United States. Ever wonder why the college campuses are disruptive? Deport them instead of arresting them. Jail cells are already full. Elderly and Veterans? Dogs and cats get the best food, shelter and in-home healthcare than old people do. Military? Wow! Other countries should fight their own battles, not us. America has enough “wars” among American people. Debt? Would the federal ...

Slaughter in Gaza

Dear Editor, I am absolutely devastated by the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza. (I believe the killing of another human being is flat out wrong.) The Israelis were the victims of the worst slaughter in history when 6 million were slaughtered by Hitler and Himmler in the Holocaust. And the Israelis suffered another major crime when 110 were murdered on February 7th by Hamas. None of the crimes endured by Israel, however, justified the killing of over 34 thousand Palastinians, including 14 thousand children in the Israeli revenge killing —so far ­—of Palastinians, in ...

Suicide prevention efforts appreciated

Dear Editor, On Sunday, April 28, 2024, Jerry’s Walk — Illuminating Suicide Awareness held its 8th annual suicide prevention Walk in St. Clairsville. The event is an opportunity to encourage an open conversation around suicide with a goal of removing the stigma attached to what is truly a public health crisis. That stigma results in silence that tragically causes so many who are suffering to avoid seeking the help they need and deserve. The Walk also allows those who have survived a loss to suicide to come together and offer each other support. Jerry’s Walk wishes to ...

College Protests

Dear Editor, After watching the news these past several weeks, it doesn’t surprise me of the absolute hatred that is being aimed at the Jewish people in the United States. Look at what passes for higher education these days. You’re paying tens of thousands of dollars to allow your son or daughter to be indoctrinated by racist Marxist whose main goal is the destruction of the United States. These people despise that Israel actually had the nerve to stand up for itself after a slaughter of their people, equivalent in proportion to 35,000 Americans, by Hamas terrorists who now want ...

Praying for youth of our nation

Dear Editor, Some recent contributors to The Times Leader “Letters” page praise President Biden and condemn President Trump. I was pleased I didn’t spew my morning coffee upon reading the delusional diatribes. An “opinion” should have a basis. I always support my political debate with facts. Joe Biden must prove he is in support of a continued American “Democratic Republic” by presidential debates. This nation cannot continue and survive with this current Obama loaded administration. Everything is upside-down, here and abroad. Dr. Phil said there was a time ...
