Reining in corporate greed

Dear Editor, Gas prices went up forty cents the first week of May; the talking heads of faux news and associated Trump lovers would have you believe it’s all President Biden’s fault. A realistic explanation for the increase is Russia’s unprovoked war and accompanying inflation of European energy prices. Our American energy companies are happily using offshore prices to justify their price gouging here. This despite the fact the vast majority of their gas and oil comes from here. These same companies are posting record profits while contributing generously to the ...

Are you happy now?

Dear Editor, With skyrocketing gasoline prices, skyrocketing inflation and the skyrocketing border catastrophes, I hope everyone who voted for President Biden are happy now! John Bradac St. Clairsville

Misinformation Governance Board

Dear Editor, Isn’t wonderful that we will soon have a “Misinformation Governance Board.” I wonder if it will be housed in a large pyramid of glass with the slogans, ”war is peace” “freedom is slavery” and “ignorance is strength” Oh, won’t it be wonderful to have all thought and speech controlled by “big brother”... er, I mean the Democrat Party and the Elites. Come, come, ladies and gentlemen, we low humans out of the primordial ooze cannot think for ourselves let alone speak free thoughts … heavens no! Be gone Elon Musk! You are Goldstein! We need an elite ...
