Dear Editor, First of all I am not a Republican or a Democrat. I vote for who I think will do the most good for America. Donald Trump brought jobs back, the stock market was the best its ever been. He stood up to other nations who would destroy us, got out of the deal with Iran which was a bad mistake of Obama and Biden. He stands with Israel which without a doubt is our best friend, everything was going great until the virus hit us. And now the Democratic party is even blaming him for that. I agree…

Dear Editor, I understand and affirm that black lives matter. Some of my dearest friends are black people. I love them and they matter. There are many black people, who I do not know, but they matter just the same. Red people matter. Yellow people matter. Brown people matter. White people matter. Coalminers, butchers, factory workers, plumbers, bakers, carpenters, waiters, cooks, physicians, attorneys, politicians, ditch diggers, ministers, writers, journalists, actors, sports heroes, laboratory researchers, pharmaceutical companies, nurses, secretaries, schoolteachers, EMTs, veterans, and service men and women, representing us in our branches of service, matter.   Of course, the list goes on and…

Dear Editor, While attending college I was taught to think for myself. Communism and socialism were subjects of discussion. However, indoctrination into either was never the goal of those institutions of higher learning. Granted to this day there are students who will embrace socialistic and democratic ideals as well as conservative ones. I have to say I am in total agreement with the writer of the “Take Over America” letter, in the July 22 edition of The Standard; especially the part about the “Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.” My fellow citizens, consider that…

Dear Editor, Joe Biden reminds me of a car salesman I once knew. His name was Diamond Jim, a man in my small town. I made the mistake of buying a ’72 Chevy pickup from him. I expected it to have the correct engine; instead it turned out to be a 1954 Chevy engine. Confronted, he gave me back half the money I paid. What does that have to do with honest Joe Biden? Joe Biden is a socialist, he’s just as crazy as Bernie Sanders and just as radical. Socialism is a form of Marxist communism. Do you really…
