Letters to the Editor

Are you getting what you asked for?

Are you Trump cult followers getting what you want? Are you as I am, watching your retirement savings disappear, after 3 years of it looking like you could retire comfortably soon? At least our king is removing brown folks that don’t affect my life one bit. Well, he says he is. As a builder, I received letters from all this week and last that there will be a significant increase in costs and almost assuredly there will be significant delays in material that is by design and cost, manufactured upon purchase only, material. I know it’s early and the orange haired clown and his ...

Spreading Hate

I read a letter to the editor about hate. The writer, Mr. Kalter, seemed to miss the fact that he was spreading a whole bunch of hate with the nonsense he was pondering on. I find the lack of self-awareness from the left very troubling. It is impossible to have civil discourse with anyone when they are so easily offended and resort to baseless name calling. This tactic is nothing but a logical fallacy that is designed to shut people up. As I sat reading the letter, I recalled an interaction that I had with Mr. Kalter many years ago when he was on council. I had received a ticket for my ...

For the common good

On March 1, the 25th annual Empty Bowls fundraising luncheon had its most successful year ever raising funds for area food pantries to help alleviate food insecurities in the Mid-Ohio Valley. All net proceeds go to the pantries. The Empty Bowls Committee would like to thank the many people and area businesses who made this year’s event a success. The committee would specifically like to thank all the restaurants in the area that donated soup to the cause: Boathouse BBQ, Busy Bee, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen, DaVinci’s, Denny’s, Galley, Glenwood, House of Wines, Huck’s Farm ...

Lowering government debt

Everyone wants to lower the debt, if it doesn’t hurt them. You can’t just change small things and make much difference. President Trump has the right idea. You have to turn things upside down to do it. Why would anyone who is for the USA fight this? The Senate and Congress should all be for it. Government workers are not any better than farmers or anyone else.

Taking Greenland

If Usha Vance’s trip to Greenland doesn’t do the trick, we can just send in the Marines can’t we? Isn’t it our right to take any country we want? Kim McMichael Cutler, Ohio

The killer asteroid is the Donald

Since January 20–just two incredibly long months—Donald Trump has turned the United States of America into the Hating States of America. The 34-felony-convicted fascist already has become a mass murderer of vulnerable human beings in Sudan, Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon and so many other countries it is nearly impossible to track. This doesn’t include women dying from pregnancies when denied health care when facing medical emergencies. And children dying of starvation after Trump stopped the richest country in the history of the world from feeding the poorest. How many months ...
