Letters to the Editor

Veteran responds to letter writers

Dear Editor, In response to the two syncophonic letters of Sept. 5, “Surviving Biden” and “Liberals or Chinese Communists:” My voting has always been with the view that the family next door should have enough food, clothing and medicine as I; a view anathema to Republicans. When my father-in-law, Mike Kovalick, came home from France in 1919-20 he was instrumental in organizing the United Mine Workers of America union, not socialism. The answer to real socialism in the United States, as any fool knows, has been unions. One writer referred to President (Joe) Biden as a ...

Trump: Would-be autocrat

Dear Editor, In the recently released best-selling book “Peril” by iconic investigative journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, it is revealed that U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley, as well undoubtedly did numerous others, considered that then-President Donald J. Trump had experienced a “serious mental decline” following his sound defeat in the 2020 presidential election, and that he (Milley) was fearful that Trump would “go rogue” and perhaps launch a nuclear attack on China in order to remain in power. Although such allegations are indeed quite shocking ...

For the love of reading — vote YES!

Dear Editor, Fellow Readers and Community Members, this coming November, I am asking you to support the St. Clairsville Public Library’s Renewal Levy. Our library offers countless programs and resources for folks of all ages. This renewal levy is not a new tax. As a parent and educator, I am actively involved with our library and appreciate all of the hours that are passionately put forth by the staff to help foster a love of reading. The most notable program offered by our library would be the Summer Reading Program that requires teamwork and ingenuity from so many staff ...

Deeds & Words

Dear Editor, “For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret, but worldly grief produces death.” II Corinthians 7:10 RSV A stark contrast in history compares the mournful Emperor Nero, who may have fiddled while Rome burned in 64 A.D. with President Biden, who chortles while the United States as founded upon three pillars, The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and free enterprise totters towards collapse by design 1,957 years later. Words matter! The United States is not a Secular Democracy but a Republic under the Triune ...

Hiss

Dear Editor, This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! Every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand. Zeph 2:15 There are several meanings of hiss in the Bible but in this instance it holds something in contempt and to wag his hand is a term of derision. I see the United States in this verse. We have become a modern day Ninevah. This administration and its sycophants in the House and Senate, the news agencies, and the progressive ...

History of Horrible

Dear Editor, I just read The Times Leader (9/11) Letter to Editor. Wow! So many flowery words to place perfume on a impenetrable stench, the Surrender to the Taliban, “War On Terror.” The author’s “Historical” list had already been worn out by the White House press secretary and the media. A rebuttal, with the TOTAL details of Presidential Administration(s) handing of the 20 year war has volumes. Too bad the wordy author did not find a place for them. American history (should God permit) will show all purpose and intent. If we choose, we can Trust In GOD. Of ...
