Another Italian success!

Dear Editor, The Bellaire Sons of Italy participated for the 39th year in the Upper Ohio Valley Italian Festival by selling over a ton and a half of its “famous” sausage sandwich. We are very proud to announce that we had another VERY successful year. This unbelievable community achievement is not a coincidence, and we owe this tremendous success to several factors. First, we believe our product to be the best, both with respect to the quality of the trimmed baked meat used and also our secret seasoning ingredients. Second, this undertaking as well as all other undertakings ...

No to LifeWise

Dear Editor, The First Amendment to the United States Constitution reads, in part: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”... In other words there will be a “Separation of Church and State,” in the United States. An organization named the LifeWise Academy, trying to make an end run around our First Amendment freedoms about religion, claims: “Now more than ever, schools must address character and mental health on top of providing academic instruction. LifeWise Academy comes alongside administrators and ...

Take me to your leader

Dear Editor, As briefly as I am able, I care to share thoughts of my bewilderment. I feel I am not alone. As a person in advanced age, it is difficult to figure how I (we) got here as a nation? We most all know the facts before us (no need to list). But so many lose the reason as to why we find these most difficult times. ‘Tis a simple reason, “Godlessness.” It’s led to a selfishness of “haves.” And the have nots TAKE now … Jus’ get it! No prob. In the early 1960s, my veteran father (WWII and Korean wars) had weapons. Many across the nation had likewise. ...

Voters were misled

Dear Editor, Did Joe Biden lie about Hunter making money from China and other foreign countries during his campaign? Yes, he absolutely did, and now all of these countries, especially communist China have Joe in a very compromised position! Our country is in jeopardy now simply because the FAKE NEWS and all of social media refused to allow Americans to see any of the corruption that was happening by not covering any of it, by corrupt former military and government officials calling it DISINFORMATION, and social media by blocking and even censoring any discussion about it. They ...

Biden’s Presidency to date

Dear Editor, I must admit that I was very optimistic upon the election of Joseph Robinette Biden II as the 46th President of our great country, as a result of his outstanding and illustrious career in government, having served in the U.S. Senate, representing his home state of Delaware from January 1973 until his resignation to then serve as vice-president of the United States under President Barack Obama, where he served admirably from 2009-2017. In addition, in his 35 years in the U.S. Senate Mr. Biden was very productive, sponsoring 1,071 pieces of legislation, and was well-known, ...

July 4th

Dear Editor, With 2022’s “Fourth of July” in the rearview mirror, historical perspective remains vital to going forward. John Adams’ expected “the Fourth” to be celebrated as a religious holiday in times such as ours, and so it is for those who define religion as “the authority or authorities one consults to define and answer questions of ultimate importance.”-Job 34:12-15, Ps 2:1-12, RSV The request addressed to the Supreme Judge of the world (Jn 5:22-23) by the founders to sanction the founding of this nation with inalienable rights for the individual, the ...
