Letters to the Editor

Communists and riots

Dear Editor, Well the inmates are running the asylum in California. I guess when you have communist, I mean Democrats, running a state and a city everything turns into garbage. The sad part, the real instigators of this debacle are sitting back sipping cocktails and laughing at all the “useful idiots” doing their dirty work. Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and the Mafia would be so proud of the new manipulators. And here’s the part that really stings. They are using taxpayer money given to them by the Biden administration before Biden went out of office to do their dirty work. ...

TDS

Dear Editor, It is truly amazing the number of people suffering from TDS, including a couple of the letter writers here! One continues to refer to President Trump’s approval rating. These are the same polls that said Trump WOULD NEVER win the election, but as we know he did with historic numbers, so it would be idiotic to have any faith in these rigged polls. By the way, these TDS sufferers have never explained how Biden could receive 81.3 million votes, but Harris only received 74.3 million when Trumps numbers only went up 2.6 million votes? Are you saying 4.4 million TRUMP ...

Reply to DEI description letter

Dear Editor, A reply to Bill Bryant’s Letter to the Editor in The Times Leader supporting DEI (AKA Critical Race Theory, Cultural Marxism). He describes DEI as: “It’s a framework and set of principles that many organizations and institutions are adopting to promote fair treatment and full participation of all people, especially those who have historically been underrepresented or discriminated against in the grip of oppression.” Rather than express my personal opinion on this I’m going to call an expert witness to counter his “argument.” I call Dr. Carol Swain to ...

DEI

Dear Editor, DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It’s a framework and set of principles that many organizations and institutions are adopting to promote fair treatment and full participation of all people, especially those who have historically been underrepresented or discriminated against in the grip of oppression. Opponents call DEI “WOKE,” as if learned and discriminatory people have just woken up. What utter nonsense. The dismantling of DEI, by the Trump Administration and his MAGA syschopants — according to the Washington Post — “will leave a ...

Halt utility shutoffs

Dear Editor, Summer is almost here, and with it will come deadly heat waves supercharged by the climate crisis. Yet in 27 states, it’s perfectly legal for utility companies to shut off electricity on the hottest days of summer, leaving individuals and families without air conditioning in extreme temperatures and threatening their health and safety. Shutting off power and preventing access to lifesaving air conditioning in the summer can have life-or-death consequences. We need to shine a spotlight on this critical issue and raise our voices to demand change. Utility ...

Funding for schools

Dear Editor, Re: Constitutional Amendment: a group called Citizens for Property Tax Reform is pushing for a constitutional amendment to eliminate property taxes in Ohio, and this proposal has been certified by the Ohio Ballot Board. Ohio Governor (Mike) Dewine: If property taxes are eliminated our Ohio school systems cannot function without funding from property taxes and Ohio income taxes. My thoughts about this is: what happened to the Ohio Lottery funding for supporting our school system? If property taxes are eliminated then the lottery money is available, ...
