We will see many non-answers during crisis

Dear Editor, Another example of (don’t expect an answer if you ask a conservative a question they can’t, or one for which they do not have an answer), was on full display this past week. When reporter Peter Alexander asked President Trump, during a presidential briefing, “What do you say to Americans who are watching you right now who are scared?” Trump responded, “I say you are a terrible reporter, that’s what I say.” Please compare our President’s crude response to President Obama’s 2009 refined answer when South Carolina’s Republican Congressman Joe Wilson yelled, “you lie.” Instead of denigrating the…

The wings remained intact through the capture. The alien eyes and antennas rolled and conducted themselves in the claustrophobic environment. Unique to the disposition of dragonflies is the track of their movements. Posted on a blade of grass they rest like statues in forgotten gardens of ancient Greeks.

Bring God back to America

Dear Editor, As our country falls into this time of testing, I’m amazed how Americans are so resilient.

There are those who would like to erase Him, but it can’t be done. Better to bow to God than to the alternative, satan and no hope. We must not neglect…
