Concerns about a broken system regarding border security, Ukrainian war

Ron Martin4 years ago2 mins

Dear Editor, I wish I could say the new crop of political wannabes new more about the U.S. Constitution regarding problems at the Mexico border and elsewhere than their television ads seem to indicate. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4 deals with immigration. Section 8 grants Congress the responsibility of the rules of Naturalization. Why do we always place the blame of border problems on whoever is President when in actuality it is up to Congress when you consider we have congressional leaders refusing to even work with the administration? On Jan. 20, 2021 President Biden sent an immigration bill…

Dear Editor, Nobody likes going to hospital, and sadly I have gone way too many times, but I am so very grateful for the incredible staff at KRMC. One nurse in particular is a superstar. His name is Pip and he works in the Emergency Department. He is kind and caring and really focuses on his patients. He’s also accurate in what he tells you. If he says he will be back in a couple of minutes, he actually is (not an hour later or doesn’t come back at all). If every nurse could train with Pip, our healthcare system…

True freedom

Ron Martin4 years ago2 years ago3 mins

When I talk to people about Jesus one of the reasons I often hear for why they don’t want to accept Jesus is that they don’t want to give up their freedom. They say religion is full of rules of what you can and cannot do. My response is always, “You are correct, religion is full of rules, but I am talking to you about having a relationship with Christ, not living a life full of religious rules.” What is the freedom that so many cling to over having a relationship with Jesus? Maybe it is the freedom to drink…

The case for charity

Ron Martin4 years ago2 years ago3 mins

What do you do when you are in a sticky situation? Perhaps there is a clear right and wrong to the matter and perhaps there is not. What is your default position? Is it to dig in on principle, compromise, or cave? The depth of the issues and the personalities involved will determine how far you might go. For instance, most of us will try to get along. We may not like, or even agree with, the direction that a concern is being managed, but the stakes are low enough to keep us from the fight. This seems reasonable. What…

Please show compassion with your liberal politics about medicine

Dear Editor, I’ve taken as much politics as I can. Enough is enough with your Socialist rules and regulations, not to mention your stinking policies related to medicine! I am sick and tired of paying tax and not to mention copays just to be deprived of medication that relates to pain management so the rich crowd can sit back and have a good laugh at my expense. That also includes power chain and the life alert detail as well. I may have to pay tax on many details, but I should be allowed to receive a bit of compassion. Here…
