I’m going to jump right in this week with a bit of Trump Tripe. I shouldn’t be calling it “tripe” because it’s true stuff, but the alliteration sounded nice. Attorney Dan Reiss wrote that 40 years ago, two men, partners in an electrical contracting company, came into his office and...
Nothing pays tribute to our two greatest presidents on Presidents Day, more than a good, old-fashion mattress sale. For any of you MAGAs out there, I’m referring to George and Honest Abe. We recently celebrated Valentine’s Day, the day dedicated to love. And if you and your special other had...

Are all you happy Voice readers enjoying the balmy weekend-in-Bermuda-type weather out there? When it’s –10° F with about six inches of snow on the ground, it’s not really the best time for spring planting unless your growing snowballs. So while I’m hunkered down inside, once again I feel I...

Donald Trump and his allies engaged in a months-long criminal conspiracy after the 2020 election. They spread lies about...
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Not only hasn’t Donald Trump been convicted of insurrection, he hasn’t been charged with the crime. Special prosecutor Jack Smith, the henchman of the DOJ (Department of Justice) and Democrats, could have charged Trump with the crime, but realized he didn’t have a case. Perhaps Trump’s...

September 22, 2023Dear editor; I had quite a few topics that I wanted to share my voice on, but after receiving the latest edition I decided to put them aside and address Bill’s most recent submission. Bill, I see you as an example of many well-meaning, educated, compassionate Americans who...
September 24, 2023Dear editor; This Reader’s Voice is to commend the commitment of Charles Coddington and Wayne E. Johnson to exposing the prolific, often unnoticed transgressions of “T. rump” and “Donny Dum Dum” as described in The Voice. Being adept at seeing beyond the carefully-scripted, false persona concealing a self-aggrandizing,...
The Chas must confess that he has not been very observant where chimneys are concerned. Contrary to what he wrote in his previous essay, there are chimneys facing the street; moreover, there are chimneys in the front of some houses. Sorry for the confusion. Speaking of confusion, our resident UFO...

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s off to jail you go. Trump. What can I say that already hasn’t been said more eloquently by others, such as Robert De Niro, “(bleep) Trump,” or one of Donny Boy’s former Wharton professors who stated, “Donald Trump was the dumbest (bleep) student I ever had.” Ever...
