July 6, 2024Dear editor; We needed the fireworks celebration after a rough few days, although I have never wavered from mighty Joe Biden. He’s young compared to a lot of people I know in their 90s and still with it. I’ve had the privilege of knowing people who lived into
So much to comment on this week, it’s like trying to stuff 10 pounds of my nonsense in a five-pound barf bag, while I pretend to care. First and foremost is the recent presidential debate. Poor Joe Biden had a very bad night. After the debate and his poor showing,
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Hans Christian Anderson wrote a satire entitled “The Emperor Wears No Clothes.” It’s a story of two swindlers pulling a fraudulent stunt on a vain King obsessed with fashion and nobility. The two con men tell the King they will create the most exquisite Royal attire
By John & Nisha Whitehead Most teams will begin non-conference “The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law.”—Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissenting in Trump v. United States The U.S. Supreme Court
June 29, 2024Dear editor; I found the dueling op-eds written by Wayne E. Johnson in the liberal corner and Bill Suhayda in the conservative corner to be very entertaining, but their extreme differences and obvious dislike for each other is a bit disturbing, probably because it is a reflection of
Happy days are here again! Bela Suhayda is back on the pages of The Voice, and he hasn’t changed a bit. I took care to distinguish between “national socialism” and “democratic socialism,” but Suhayda was having none of it. “Socialism” conjures up in his mind the atrocities of Stalin and
Sunday, June 23Dear editor; As many of you are floundering over who to vote for, Joe Biden or Donald Trump, I say choose what to vote for, democracy or fascism. As a child, the poem “If”, plaque hung on the wall of our kitchen. I spent a lot of time
June 22, 2024Dear editor; Some thoughts on upholding a useful idiot. After Donald Trump took office in January 2017, he wasted no time getting Americans accustomed to his lies. He claimed, “It was the largest crowd ever!” at his presidential inauguration then he shamed White House chief of staff, Reince
By Ricky Rieckert This week, I’m taking you west on East New York Street in remembrances of Aurora to Broadway, from my old homestead. But first, I wanted to tell you about, Harold O’Brien, who lived across the street from me. When we were 7 and 8 years old, we
By John & Nisha Whitehead Like the proverbial boiling frogs, the government has been gradually acclimating us to the specter of a police state for years now: Militarized police. Riot squads. Camouflage gear. Black uniforms. Armored vehicles. Mass arrests. Pepper spray. Tear gas. Batons. Strip searches. Surveillance cameras. Kevlar vests.
Musings: •Now that T. Rump has reached that exalted position of “convicted felon,” he should be coronated in the proper fashion and provided the accouterments in which to issue his proclamations. For his coronation, he should be robed with a bright yellow suit with black stripes about the forearms and
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda I’ve had to shake my head hundreds of times through the years reading Wayne Johnson’s montage of demeaning hateful slurs in The Voice cynically aimed at his favorite protagonist, Donald Trump and of course, yours truly. A couple of weeks ago, in a gesture of fake

The Grand Old Party ain’t what it used to be. It continues to disintegrate, thanks to the current make-up of the U.S. House of Representatives. The House has been infected by MAGAts which have burrowed deeply into it and created rot. It should now be called the “Goofy Order of
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda I started writing to this publication a little more than three years ago when I asked publisher Carter Crane if he would place an article of mine into The Voice as a rebuttal to Wayne Johnson’s fawning love affair to the incoming Biden administration in2021. Johnson,
By John & Nisha Whitehead The police state does not want citizens who know their rights. Nor does the police state want citizens prepared to exercise those rights. This year’s graduates are a prime example of this master class in compliance. Their time in college has been set against a
May 9, 2024Dear editor; On the Charles Coddington’s column, freedom vs. socialism in the The Voice, May 9 edition, there is so much wrong with this moron’s positions and to say right wing shows he’s a partisan hack who has no clue what freedom is and how it’s attained. We
Just when I thought it was safe to open my copy of The Voice and enjoy all the interesting, relevant printed information, up pops Donald Trump lap dog Wild Bill Suhayda, spitting, foaming at the mouth, and spinning at who knows how many r.p.m.s. such as Taz, Warner Bros. Tasmanian

By Ricky Rieckert This week, I’m going to write on another meaningful thing that has been tearing me up. Politics, and the way fellow writers, both write for The Voice. Wayne “Wayne’s World” Johnson, Bela “Bill” “Wild Bill“ Suhayda, prince Charles Coddington, and now, Ricky “Tricky Rick” Rieckert. I hope
