Soft totalitarianism

Dear Editor, What is soft totalitarianism? It will be the end of freedom for anyone who doesn’t tote the “Great Reset — build back better” one-party line of the future. All you have to do is look at China’s social credit scores and you will understand the control mechanism that the oligarchs of the world will instill everywhere. In the USA they are now testing what is called an ESG score. This means you will receive a ranking like your regular credit score but it will be based on E — environmental consciousness; S — your views on social justice; and G — governance ...

Hypocrisy about illegal immigration

Dear Editor, Where is the useless Biden administration? Illegals crossing the borders, children and adults being housed in facilities over their capacities, reports of children being abused physically and sexually on their trip to the border and after crossing! If any child care facility were operating in this manner, they would be immediately closed down and people prosecuted! Where are all the screaming idiots accusing President Trump of keeping kids in cages? Your total hypocrisy now is just sickening. Boycotting states because of so-called voter suppression and human ...

Guns kill

Dear Editor, The United States now has more guns (around 400 million) than people (330 million). Americans make up about 4.4 percent of the global population but own 42 percent of the world’s guns. I keep pondering as to why any sensible person would want more than perhaps a shotgun and a rifle (and a gun safe) for hunting game and home protection? After all, police departments are militarized to the teeth to protect us. Even little Belmont County has a (useless) tank. I’ll tell you why the police are way over-armed, it is to protect us from the way over-armed citizens ...

Time Fulfilled

Dear Editor, Good Friday and Easter commemorate the “price Jesus paid” to establish the Great Salvation. What was the “price” Jesus paid? Paradoxically, on the cross, Jesus’ priceless, resolute obedience completes the Great Commandment in his body of flesh that perfected faith, hope, love, and reason under the most egregious conditions designed by the powers of darkness to prove that he was a fraud—not both the Son of man & the Son of God—the Supreme Judge of the world!-Mk 12:29-31, Jn 6:51, Job 2:4-5, Jn 8:28-29, 10:17-18, 12:27-33, I Cor 13:7 By asking the ultimate ...

Mainstream media sells distortion

Dear Editor, I only submit again from recently as to provide an Rx (prescription) for the media. Yes, The Times Leader as well. Get real! I swear, the Revolutionary, Lamppost, TownCaller who would yet proclaim support King George III would be close to tars and feathers if not stifling. Yet mainstream media continually wails bounty of distortion. Lies are easy to sell. “Distortion” must be worked. The Republican U.S. senators are going to fight to save America. They may be outnumbered, but as America realizes, when it is first, it can raise up second, third, (and to the ...

Turning to higher power in pandemic

Dear Editor, I am writing in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Masks, social distancing and vaccines are all great. I recommend this for everyone. But on social media, I hear little about a higher power. I know that churches do have prayers for the coronavirus, and that is good. There is power in prayer. I know there is separation of church and state, but I want to shed light on another pandemic that happened in 1625. This is what the Eternal Word Television Network had to say,:“In 1625 there was a plague. The people of Palermo, Sicily, went through the streets with ...
