Dear Editor, Well, we’ve finally done it. We’ve reached the day of confusion and division. We’ve managed to convince ourselves we are doomed if we reelect President Trump or that we’re stupid if we don’t elect Biden. With both sides demanding that we follow the rules of uncertainty and blame the other party for the mass confusion and fumbling of the COVID-19 epidemic, it’s enough, and I mean “enough”. Blame mother nature for that and take the time to reflect on the truth. As I recall, Biden didn’t do anything when he was vice president. I hardly recall him even…

I, for one, appreciate The Standard’s policy of printing letters from readers who want to express their opinions on varying subjects. It is also wise to include your disclaimer that views are not necessarily those of The Standard. That said, I found Sen. Allen’s letter from the May 6 edition amusing and quite questionable when she writes, “I am also concerned with the low-income students who are attending our state’s private schools.” I wonder how many low-income families can afford private learning institutions for their children.

Dear Editor, I realize that this is not a time to be bringing up politics and the 2020 elections, however, it seems to me that there is some very fancy footwork going on in our nation’s capitol. Rumor has it that the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, does not want to call the House of Representatives back into session until after the first of the year. Interesting! As I understand it, and I freely admit I may be wrong, if the Speaker of the House wants to, she can delay the election until whenever she wants using the COVID-19…

Dear Editor, As the Covid-19 pandemic and social distancing continues, I’m amazed how everything is blamed on our president. There are no boundaries only invisible lines we’re not allowed to cross or even mention. How did we get here? There is a lot that has set things in motion and this pandemic is no joke, it kills. How can we blame the president for this? There has been the most outrageous accusations that I have ever heard. One being that it’s the president’s fault that we don’t have toilet paper! Really. Where can we draw the line? Is it really…
