Reader’s Commentary: A debate of freedom vs. socialism in the U.S.

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda The demonstrations in Michigan last week again called for “Death to Israel” and “Death to America.” Even more disturbing, leftist Democrat congresswomen Illan Omar and Rashid Tlaib support these traitors to our Nation. And going by what Wayne Johnon and “The Chas” have written in this...

‘We the people’ new permanent underclass

By John & Nisha Whitehead The government wants your money. It will beg, steal, or borrow if necessary, but it wants your money any way it can get it. This bottom line is what comes of those $1.2 trillion spending bills: someone’s got to foot the bill for the government’s...

Term limits, retirement, the best solution

Musings: •Is Joe Biden too old to be president? Yes. Is Donald Trump too old to be president? Again, yes. All politicians should be given the boot when they reach the age between 65 t0 70 years, depending upon when their current term ends. There comes a time when they...

Life an inalienable right, government aside

By John & Nisha Whitehead The government wants to play god. It wants the power to decide who lives or dies and whose rights are worthy of protection. Abortion may still be front and center in the power struggle between the Left and the Right over who has the right...

Teacher shortage unlikely to end soon

Last week my son walked away from his teaching career to manage valet parking services at a hospital, so the headline: “Illinois still suffers shortage of teachers,” on the front page of the March 28 issue of The Voice, caught my eye. With many friends and family members who are...

Oumu could be a space probe in orbit

It looks as if we’ll no longer have to worry about the 2024 presidential election, or any elections for that matter. Oumuamua will make them all moot points. Yes, dear readers, the big cosmic hunk of doo-doo that entered our solar system first in 2017 has made a triumphant return...

Nonconformists challenging

By John & Nisha Whitehead Tyrants don’t like people who speak truth to power. Cue the rise of protest laws, which take the government’s intolerance for free speech to a whole new level and send the resounding message that resistance is futile. In fact, ever since the Capitol protests January...

Reader’s Commentary: Attack on Wayne’s World biting

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Alliterations aside, “Wayne’s World” Johnson’s article in the March 7 edition of The Voice was, using his word, “tripe.” Wayne sold his soul to an “armchair” psychiatrist, Dr. Gartner, along with 27 other waddling quacks, saying Donald Trump is almost as demented as Biden. Trump wasn’t...

Just saying: John Birch Society to T. Rump

Musings: •The John Birch Society is back in town! These zombies first crawled out of their graves in the 1960s, preaching what is now called “Christian nationalism.” They believe the time is right to crawl out again and add their two cents’ worth to what the Trumpites – particularly Ms...

Problems: Personal, politics, party allegiances

By John & Nisha Whitehead Day by day, tyranny is rising as freedom falls. The U.S. military is being used to patrol subway stations and police the U.S.-Mexico border, supposedly in the name of national security. The financial sector is being used to carry out broad surveillance of Americans’ private...

American dream turned into American nightmare

By John & Nisha Whitehead The U.S. Supreme Court was right to keep former president Donald Trump’s name on the ballot. The high court’s decree that the power to remove a federal candidate from the ballot under the Constitution’s “insurrectionist ban” rests with Congress, not the states, underscores the fact...

Reader’s Voice: Data should be accurate

February 17, 2024Dear Editor; In a Reader’s Voice February 13 online and February 15 print edition, David E. Smith wrote that Oregon’s deaths from drug overdose increased substantially after 2020 when drugs were decriminalized in the State, implying that this was the cause.

Global Deep State poses threat to our rights

By John & Nisha Whitehead The debate over U.S. foreign aid is a distraction. That’s not to say that the amount of taxpayer money flowing to foreign countries in the form of military and economic assistance is insignificant. Even at less than 1% of the federal budget, the United States...

Reader’s Commentary: View: Fact-checking, no diversity

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Wayne Johnson conducted his own “coronation” of himself to becoming a fact-checker of me in this publication. He has dragged poor “Chas” Codington to the same undignified/ proletarian stature. Wayne needs reinforcements!! Fact-checking is a new thing in the free world. It’s been brought to us...

Reader’s Voice: A drug emergency in Oregon

February 8, 2024Dear editor; In 2020, Oregon voters decriminalized possession of small amounts of almost every hard drug. Progressives campaigned in support of this ballot measure, insisting that their state should help treat addiction rather than punish it. The measure passed with 58 percent support. Now, Oregon’s governor has declared...
