Love your country

Dear Editor, When I went to school, I was not only taught to read. I also learned to comprehend what I read, which would lead to critical thinking. Comprehension: the action or capability of understanding something. Critical thinking: the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment. Recently, a person took my words and injected his own interpretation to make my statements completely different than written. This is what has been happening in the mainstream media that has been controlled by the far left for years. It would be an exercise in futility to try…

You can at least say howdy

Dear Editor, “Howdy” was a common everyday word where I grew up. Raised on old Stidham, now known as Milo Road in rural Appalachia, I spent a lot of time at my Grandpa and Grandma Hinkle’s store. People came and went buying gasoline, sandwich meat, snacks, or groceries for the week. There were cane bottom chairs in the store and often people would sit and chat for a while. Regardless of how many times during the week I walked down the road to that store, the opening salutation was typically “howdy.” People were in and out of the Hinkle store…

In response to Lloyd Dickson’s letter of February 2

Dear Editor, Mr. Dickson, Do you deny that the Keystone XL pipeline was canceled causing the United States to lose its energy independence while the Biden Administration removed the sanctions on the Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline to Germany? Do you deny the Biden Administration had to beg OPEC to pump more oil due to a self-induced deficit? Do you deny the Biden-caused Afghanistan fiasco that caused the deaths of 13 American service people and the gift of Bagram Air Base to the Taliban, along with 85 billion dollars in sophisticated equipment? Do you deny that the Biden Administration opened…

Final response to Lloyd Dickson

Dear Editor, Lloyd, Lloyd, Lloyd, We live in a Capitalist society. There are always going to be rich people because some of us are better at making money than the rest of us. Should they pay their fair share? Absolutely. Do they? Mr. Trump does not return my phone calls when I call to ask this question, so I digress. I do think they take advantage of the tax codes that are in place. Tell me that you wouldn’t if you could lol. When I rebuked to your Socialist rant about BBB, I railed at the level of surveillance required…
