It’s time to do away with Electoral College

Dear Editor, Trump’s reign of incompetence, racial and political divisiveness has come to an end. He almost succeeded in ruining the greatest democracy ever to exist. He didn’t do it by himself, there is plenty of blame to go around. The notion the election was fraudulent or stolen is not without merit however. It does have basis in factual events, based on true provable occurrences. Therefore it is easy to understand beliefs held by many on the right, veracity in the lie perpetuated by Trump of a stolen election. Historically there have been five instances where the popular vote did…

Will the newly elected do as they have promised?

Dear Editor, Many promises were made by those running for elected office during 2020. Only time will tell if those victorious in their campaign bid will follow through with their promises. Yes, the 2020 primary and general elections are over and are now in the history books. Some individuals for partisan positions were elected and/or won the reelection. Some of the luckier ones did not have a challenger from a different political party, and were not required to compete in the general election. However, for those with challengers from a different party, they moved onto the general election and vied…

Don’t live your life based on Biden or Trump

Dear Editor, When did life begin for President Donald Trump or President Joe Biden? Did Trump’s life begin when his father loaned him millions to start investing? Did it begin when he married Melania? Or, did life begin when he was elected President? Maybe his life is beginning now that his Presidency is over? What about Biden? Did Biden’s life begin each morning when he boarded Amtrak headed for Washington? Maybe his life began when he was elected a Senator or even the Vice President? Maybe his life is just beginning now?  Trump will have options after the White House….

Understand and Defend Optimism

Dear Editor, Some say – 2020 was bad, 2021 looks worse. Perhaps. They call themselves realists. But let us not be defeatists. From fiery beginnings through WWII’s hardest-bitten battles, defeating infiltrators to derailing socialism (on multiple occasions), America has rallied whenever freedom is at risk. In the end, optimism is what turns the dial, takes the next hill, changes everything. Keep it. Yes, power-hungry socialists have managed to commandeer the Democrat Party, now hollow, haughty and dangerous. That is bad, sad and needs reversal. Yes, China, Russia, Iran and North Korea are looming, existential threats. Their influence must be contained, then rolled back. Yes, ignorance – and…

The enemy within

Dear Editor: As I sit here and watch and listen to the House proceedings to impeach President Trump I am overwhelmed with a deep, insidious sick feeling in my gut and cosmic disturbance in my being. If there was ever any breach of conscience, common sense, honor, dignity or law, we are seeing it now being displayed without shame by the corrupt Washington Establishment. Oh doesn’t Pelosi look as if she is in her most glorious “High” Chair Woman Moment with her blue dress and matching designer mask. If the American people wanted to see sharks in frenzy they would…

No class in defeat

Dear Editor, The “Trump supporter who warns of liberal communists” feels it is delusional to think Hillary Clinton displayed grace in loss, as a writer implies. I would ask you to give u your opinion of Trump’s behavior in loss especially the 6th of January uprising which Trump orchestrated and initially refused to intervene, until he finally was persuaded he said to the crowed, “go home in peace” only after repeating the lie, “I won … the election was stolen.” Earlier, while listening to Limbaugh and Gorka on the radio, I heard Antifa mentioned several times, however the television coverage…
