By Bela “Bill” Suhayda I’ve branded Charles Coddington a communist because he speaks, thinks, and writes things communists live by (see The Voice archives for proof). Charles supports confiscation of private property, nationalizing our banks, nationalizing airlines, nationalizing energy production and a host of other industries. He supports government control
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Many in today’s Democratic Party call themselves democratic socialists. They put democratic in front of the word socialist to soften the socialist stigma conjured in the minds of the voters. This doesn’t work with those who understand democratic socialism is a euphemism for Communism. It only
If Bela “B.S.” Suhayda wants to call me a communist, I suppose that’s his prerogative. Personally, I prefer the term socialist; it’s more intellectual in meaning and is closer to what I philosophically believe. Be that as it may, I am curious about the expression “leftist communist”. Does that mean
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda We crossed over the Austrian/Hungarian border having successfully evaded Soviet border guards, snipers, and land mines a little more than a month before our arrival into New York harbor January 7, 1957. We traveled two weeks crossing over the small pond called the Atlantic, a body
June 2, 2026Dear editor; Your “President paying loyalists; distractions” in the The Voice May 22 was a disgrace to this paper. This letter to the editor was filled with factual inaccuracies; clearly a fabrication by someone suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). I expect more of your paper, than to
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda There is a saying: “If you’re not a liberal at twenty…you have no heart; if you’re not a conservative by age thirty…you have no brain.” Was it Ernest Hemingway who authored this quip, or, was it Winston Churchill? No matter the author, it has always reminded
May 8, 2026Dear editor; I have been a long-term reader of the The Voice, and starting today, a first-time writer. I felt the urge to write after reading the Reader’s Commentary section: “Peace is possible, action was required by Trump in Iran,” in the April 23, 2026 issue of The
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Back in the day, we referred to people who were sneaky, untrustworthy, manipulative, and cowardly as weasels. These were the people who took pot shots at others in defamatory ways in the effort to lift themselves up by stepping on those around them. These were people
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Peace is possible in this world when, unlike NATO, we act to bring it about. Peace has come to the Middle East with the surrender of the Iranian Mullahs and the establishment of Donald Trump’s Abraham Accords. Peace can come to America with the eviction of
March 31, 2026Dear editor; In his March 26 letter entitled “Trump Derangement and its Syndrome”, Mr. Hoehne stated a case opposing president Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran. Part of his justification opposing bombing was “There was no imminent danger, no national emergency,…”. This is nonsense! All it does is show
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda The three stooges of The Voice, “Wayne’s World” Johnson, Charles “The Chas” Coddington, and John Whitehead, in their zany crazy ways, continue attacking the orange man king for ridding the world of the nuclear threat Iran posed for every life form on the planet. Mo, Larry,
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda When someone says “I will kill you”…believe them. Only fools ignore threats against their lives. For 50 years Iran’s mullahs (an honorific title for a Muslim cleric, imam, or scholar) and ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei have threatened us saying “death to America” and “death to Israel.”

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda News flash for the Charles “The Sponge” Coddington! I lived the history of which I speak “Spongy.” And because I lived it, I know it because it affected real lives. My family lived Communism. We felt it through the relatives who were murdered and who were
When First Fridays in Aurora started in the fall of 2013, the tagline for the event was “art, music and more.” The event grew into a must-attend, thriving epicenter of culture thanks to the commitment to art at the forefront. As First Fridays added offerings and more venues over the
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda It’s amazing some people in Minneapolis have cooperated in blinding themselves to the purposes of ICE agents serving their communities. Ignorance like this only occurs when people don’t bother getting informed about what’s happening in our country with criminal illegal immigrants in our midst. When cluelessness
Musings: •Heyyy! The Commie dude comin’ atcha after a brief hiatus. Are ya ready for a fresh batch of antifa s**t. Well, y’all come to the right place, dude. Hang on to yer undies! I fully expected the B.S. dude to respond to my essay on the socio-political remodeling of
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Presidents, until recently, understood why immigration needed to be controlled. The reasons are easy to understand. Assimilation will not take place when immigration is done in mass. And when immigrants of a culture live together in one area of a city or state, they will continue
Musings: •The Sins of Donald J. Trump (chapter 12). He has: Begged for a “special” donation from the general public in order to “go to heaven”; Questioned the First Amendment right of free speech; Instructed attorney general Pam Bondi to investigate the use of anti-racketeering laws against leftist protestors; Ordered
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda The “Chas,” as Charles Coddington refers to himself (in the third person is a quirkiness that defines him better than any combination of words could ever describe. I’ve only known one other person with this affliction, and he, just as Charles, was full of “it.” But
