Letters to the Editor

Examples of the love of Christ

I wonder if individually we see Christ and heaven as a limited presence and space or an infinite responsibility. I believe Christ is not a person but the omnipresence of love and caring of all mankind and life in general. I believe one of our individual purposes is to help forward that presence of universal love and caring to the best of our ability despite the human roadblocks. The roadblocks clearly include human fear of the another coming in the form of race, religion and differences in multiple other forms. They also come in the form of egos that feel superior or threatened as we ...

How many live in a nutshell?

This is in response to the April 7 Letter to the Editor, “What I see in our President.” “That’s it in a nutshell” comes to mind because it makes me wonder how many people live in a nutshell. I honestly thought the letter was talking about former President Joe Biden until the writer entered the name of our actual president — you know, the one that was elected honestly by the people in 2024. Many Americans believe former President Barack Obama directed the Biden Administration when they actually did all the evil things the writer said Trump is doing. Obama and Biden both ...

More incompetence at the top in Iran attacks

Just a clarification on this latest war with Iran. As Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated a few weeks ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu contacted President Donald Trump and told him Israel is attacking Iran and Trump decided to go along and be part of it.

Trump, of course, thought it would be a Venezuelan operation as he called for Iran's unconditional surrender after some of the ...

What I see in our president

Do you need to be named a king to function as a king? It appears to me that the power bases for kings and crime lords are very similar. Both function by believing and acting on the working principle that they are the supreme authority, and have a right to power and wealth that can be obtained from that power. Their power is cemented by having people around them who will follow their direction in order to enrich themselves and exert control over others. The cost of opposition to their control is personal and financial ruin through threats, accusations, harassment by authorities and ...

Poll for April 4, 2026

All US elections need reforming

Legislators who do not vote for proof of citizenship and photo I.D. in order to vote in our elections are an obvious threat to democracy. Legislators who say it isn’t fair to blacks are racist, not fair to women, chauvinistic bigots. It suggests that blacks and women are not smart enough or incapable of acquiring an I.D. for the most important reason a citizen could have for procuring one. They don’t have any trouble getting a photo I.D. for collecting food stamps, buying beer, plane tickets or any other reason people need a photo I.D. It’s ironic that the most racist people in ...
