Dear Editor, Americans are no strangers to hard economic times. Poverty still exists. Millions struggle with financial despair.  The answers are not always easy but here are possibilities. Look into your local community college and see what training is offered. One and two year programs are typically taught in our public community colleges. You might learn a new trade in as little as a year. Community colleges are affordable. Often there is enough federal grant money to cover the entire cost of your study. In as little as a year or maybe two at the most you could be in…

Dear Editor, “The Enemy Within”, seems to be emanating mostly from those affiliated with the right! Oh brother the right is full of un-righteous indignation. The very idea their precious leader may actually be held accountable for his actions has their eyes bulging and teeth clenched. Gasp, horrors! Just imagine the unmitigated gall of the pesky majority of voters who opted for a change of leadership. Voters who finally grew silly sick and tired of the unending lies and incompetence of the Trump Administration. Everyone beware! We are headed in the direction of socialism. Why just look how well we…

Dear Editor, Americans can expect more immigrants to enter our country in the months and years ahead. Most Americans aren’t opposed to more citizens. Many of us are not favorable to undocumented foreigners roaming about our country.  I’ve been to Mexico and a few other countries. I’ve always had to show my passport and answer questions when entering another country or coming back to America. It only takes a few minutes. Many years ago, my sons and I stood in a line of about a hundred people coming back to San Diego from Tijuana, Mexico. We showed our Driver’s license back…

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…

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…

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….
