By John & Nisha Whitehead Public trust in the government to “do what is right” understandably remains at an all-time low. After all, how do you trust a government that continuously sidesteps the Constitution and undermines our rights? You can’t. When you consider all the ways “we the people” are...
September 12, 2024Dear editor; A young man speaks up about guns. That young man is my grandson: “Dear parents, I’m a 14-year-old 8th grade student in Jr. High in Oswego. I want to tell you how I feel about guns in school. I want to tell you how I feel...
September 12, 2024Dear editor; Hopefully, the American people will look beyond the two hours debate we just witnessed. presidential candidates should stand the same test as any job applicant.

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda I see something sinister and evil that has invaded our country. I don’t believe I’m alone in this observation. We have family against family, friend against friend, and a fear in many to speak out about what they think. We have lost our collective trust and...
Once again, it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the stock market’s up, inflation, gas prices, Donald Trump’s poll numbers and the value of his Truth Social stock are down and dropping lower every day. The only things on the rise in...

September 9, 2024Dear editor; This is a response to “Sticks and stones” from Sept. 5, The Voice. In calling on voters to reject junior high school behavior and name-calling, citing the current trend toward “weird” as both a description of policies and behaviors of prominent Republicans by Democrats, in particular...
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda “Wayne’s World” Johnson, again, proves to us he doesn’t do his homework. Wayne and factual information don’t mix well. But perhaps it isn’t because Wayne is uninformed, but he’s gotten irrational. Maybe it’s more that Johnson’s depression has made him that way. Wayne is depressed. His...
August 27, 2024Dear editor; It has become fashionable for some politicians to call their opponents “weird”. How clever! Our Country, State, and County are in so much turmoil that voters should reject junior high school behavior and focus on existing records of performance (or lack of) and policies that will...
September 1, 2024Dear editor; This concerns thoughts to consider before I vote for Donald Trump. Before I vote for Trump, I must consider whether he supports the 1873 Comstock Act mentioned by Justice Alito in the Supreme Court’s decision to repeal Roe v Wade. With the repeal of “Roe” already...
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Comrade Kamala Harris with her San Francisco values took her “emotional support” vice presidential pick “Tampon Tim” Walz to her first interview since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee. She’s dodged every interview and speaking engagement where teleprompters would not be available. Her own team doesn’t trust...
By John & Nisha Whitehead What you smell is the stench of a dying republic. Our dying republic. We are trapped in a political matrix intended to sustain the illusion that we are citizens of a constitutional republic. In reality, we are caught somewhere between a kleptocracy (a government ruled...

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Kamala Harris started the week pilfering a good idea from a free market guy, Donald Trump. The idea involves letting people keep more of their money by removing taxes on tips for people in our service sector. Then, Harris had a Marxist idea. It came from...
August 9, 2024Dear editor; This letter is a response to Mighty Joe Way to Go in the July 25 issue of The Voice. In early July, Judy Siedlecki opined in The Voice that certain Democratic Party leaders were wrong in suggesting that Joe Biden withdraw from his 2024 re-election campaign...
August 10, 2024Dear editor; In the last few issues of The Voice, I have read three opinions of politics. One gentleman as usual tried to darken everything that president Joe Biden did or did not do during his Administration. One of his complaints was concerning the border crisis. What he...
Two years ago (or so), ye olde publisher, Carter Crane, sent me an E-mail which informed me that someone (I won’t mention any names) wanted to debate me on the pages of The Voice. My first thought was, “I refuse to engage in battle of wits with an unarmed person.”...
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda We all stumble and fall. But then there are some who are a bit more clumsy. Enter Wayne Johnson who recently has become a caricature of himself. Every sentence he writes to The Voice, now more than ever, bleeds with anger and hate. Donald Trump escaped...
