Anti-Zionism not the same as anti-Semitism

On correcting the “corrector”: Bela Suhayda, in his infinite wisdom, has presented us with an historical perspective which he believes is politically correct. There is, however, another historical perspective which he dares not to enunciate because he believes it is politically incorrect and hence would cause him great harm if...

Reader’s Commentary: Defense real against Charles Coddington’s anti-Semitism

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Charles Coddington, in an incredibly-obtuse article to The Voice November 16 edition, dredged up hundreds of years of history to explain the meaning of anti-Semitism and how wrong we are using the term. The Chas argues semantics when Israeli babies are burned alive. Hate is hate...

December 3, 2023Dear editor; This is to present contrasting views to statements appearing in the November 23, 2023, edition of The Voice.

Reader’s Voice: Glad for SHIP Health plan

November 25, 2023Dear editor; I appreciated reading Barb Nadeau’s article on Medicare in a recent issue of The Voice. My wife and I have used a SHIP (Senior Health Insurance Program) advisor the past couple of years and we’re glad we did. Fortunately, we have also steered clear of the...

Reader’s Voice: Imprisoned fathers must see families

November 21, 2023Dear editor; Mothers in prison rarely see their families. I find Jill McCorkel’s November 14 article, “Mothers in prison rarely see their families” puzzling. For some reason, she decided to single out mothers and exclude fathers. Was this inadvertent? Seems unlikely because there are nine times as many...

Reader’s Voice: Animal Welfare, cultivated meat

November 20, 2023Dear editor; Politicians love to pay lip service to animal welfare, and yet so few of them hold the position that would do most to relieve the suffering of our fellow creatures. That would be supporting increased public funding for cultivated-meat research. For readers who aren’t familiar with...

We the people receive the government we seek

By John & Nisha Whitehead Americans have become easy prey for hackers, scammers, snitches, spies, and con artists. But don’t be fooled into thinking the government is protecting you. To the contrary, the U.S. government is selling us (or rather, our data) to the highest bidders. By the way, those...

Reader’s Voice: President must close borders

November 13, 2023Dear editor; In times of crisis, four presidents ordered the closure of our borders. The 9-11 terrorists entered our country illegally by using forged passports. One can only wonder how many terrorists or criminals could be embedded among the illegal immigrants. Resources of our border towns have been...

Semite-Palestine history traced for centuries

Anti-Semitism? Bah! Humbug! Do you know, dear reader, that there are two kinds of Jews? They are the Sephardim, the western European Jews, and the Ashkenazim, the eastern European, Yiddish-speaking Jews. None of them, however, is ethnically Semitic; none of them sprang from the seed of Father Abraham, their belief...

Authoritarian regimes seek to separate freedoms

By John & Nisha Whitehead We have arrived at the dystopian future depicted in the 2005 film V for Vendetta, which is no future at all. Set in the year 2020, V for Vendetta (written and produced by the Wachowskis) provides an eerie glimpse into a parallel universe in which...

Reader’s Voice: An embarrassment of riches at taxpayers’ expense

October 26, 2023Dear editor; Overflowing reserves ($53MM); obstinant refusal to properly recognize and appropriately utilize interest income windfall ($14MM); constantly increasing share of state sales, income, gambling, and marijuana taxes increase (multi-millions); reprehensibly wasteful spending (at least $3MM); and even inaccurate redefinition of elementary generally accepted accounting procedures . ....

Halloween films portray our government fortunes

By John & Nisha Whitehead We are approaching a reckoning. This is the point, which the poet W. B. Yeats warned, when things fall apart and anarchy is loosed upon the world. We have seen this convergence before in Hitler’s Germany, in Stalin’s Russia, in Mussolini’s Italy, and in Mao’s...

Reader’s Voice: News credibility very important

October 22, 2023Dear editor; This opinion concerns media disinformation. With the escalation of disinformation, both political and social commentary, morphs into propaganda, while credibility plummets like a free-falling safe.

Reader’s Commentary: Gruesome statistics should be understood, not attacked

By Bela “Bill” SuhaydaSugar Grove, Ill. The dementia-riddled man in the White House works for Ukraine, China, Romania, and now Iran. He doesn’t work for you. Always verify the worth of a man by what he does, not by what he says. The proof is always in the pudding. Donald...

We grapple with blockback from loss of freedom

By John & Nisha Whitehead For those who remember the days and months that followed 9/11, there is an unnerving feeling of déjà vu about the Hamas attacks on Israel. Once again the drums of war are sounding on the world stage, not that they ever really stopped. Israel is...
