Go wild on health

November 25, 2024

Dear Editor,
Anyone else had enough of this fascist foolishness already?

The long time potential strategist James Carville has always said “It’s the economy stupid” and I get it. But this time around, he had added when he said “Something is bigger and more threatening than the economy, and that’s Project 2025 … They don’t put together a 900 page playbook and not plan to use it.” A manifesto that will take away freedom and protection like we’ve never seen in our lifetime.

Although we’ve been recovering from a worldwide pandemic faster than all other countries including Europe, but it wasn’t fast enough for most and then Biden and his party had to go.

The “proverbial Kool-Aid”

November 23, 2024

Dear Editor,

My friend sent me the copy of the article written by the 84 year old! How tacky that person was in the name calling. Really?? Grade school?? How old are we actually? I’m a 73 year old great grandma. So not a spring chicken – Here is my rebuttal to that letter:

84 Years –

Unfortunately, it seems that you have had a drink or two of that “proverbial Kool-Aid.” In all your years on this earth, I’m sure you have run into people who had a drink of that same “Kool-Aid.”

So, if I may reiterate: I really do wish a liars pants caught on fire.

Response to Jake Pickering letter

November 21, 2024

Dear Editor,
Jake Pickering sounds a little unhinged. He just threatened every Trump voter out there.
He has TDS to the nth degree!
Calm down dude.
No one is coming to get you.
But let me remind you… YOU LOST!
It’s going to be a miserable four years for you. I hope you don’t completely melt.

We must educate ourselves to be balanced

November 21, 2024

Dear Editor,
Elections today pit high school grads (Republicans) against college grads (Democrats). Democracy historically needs the more educated class to win.
High schoolers are winning for two reasons: there are more of them and politicians can manipulate them more easily than college grads.
However, college grads have become a lot like high school grads. When they get out of school they stop learning and dedicate their lives to one goal and one goal only — making a ton of money the rest of their lives.

Response to ‘Trump did some good things’

November 20, 2024

Dear Editor,

Mr. Pickering, you seem to have a never ending grudge against President-elect Trump. Did he hurt your feelings? Your vile statements reflect the mindset of the far-left’s propaganda machine. Calling our President-elect fascist and dumb only makes one think, where does all the hate come from?

One fact is our President-elect is not part of the “deep-state” that has stifled our country from becoming the nation we can and want to be. This is because some, not all, Democrats and Republicans serve themselves and not the American people!
