The recent election shocked Democrats across the nation. Since then, I’ve heard two people say words which indicated this is the end of the Democratic Party. They are wrong. This recent win by the MAGA groups’ candidates all over the country means the end of the Republican Party. The MAGA cheers, I heard down the road were really the bells tolling for the Republican Party, now completely drowned by those they allowed conspiratorial power in their club.

(The following is a letter submitted by Mark Powers of Parkersburg.) Many of you either know me or know of me as the guitar guy who performs the marketing for a local pizza company on the south side of Parkersburg.

Editor’s note: A reminder to writers of letters to the editor — As has been the case for many election cycles, Oct. 19-20 marked the cutoff for our publication of political letters.

However, due to an organizational error on our part, the following letter, which was submitted in time to beat the deadline, was not published on that weekend. On my 18th birthday, I enlisted in the Navy. Perhaps I was a bit naive, but I believed in the right ...
I must respond to the letter trying to condemn Israels defense of its homeland and citizens. Remember who started all these hostilities. All these violent attacks against Israel have been set off by terrorists with Irans, and others, support. I’m sure the writers statistics have been produced by the terrorists, and their followers. Who weighed the debris? Must have been a gigantic set of scales. If the writer truly despises the slaughter of civilians, why does he ignore the terrorists murders of its own men, women and children? Hamas hides in homes, schools and hospitals from ...
Preserving and protecting the vital land records of Washington County is of utmost importance to your County Recorder, Tracey Wright. I know this because as the past President of the State of Ohio Recorders’ Association and as the Recorder in neighboring Monroe County I have worked closely with her as she served on several of the association’s most important committees and as an advisor and mentor to most of the State’s Recorders. Tracey is a dedicated steward for Washington County who responsibly manages the duties of the Recorder’s office. With her many years of experience and ...
