August 10, 2025Dear editor; Commentator Bill Suhayda in his commentary August 7, claims that the Democratic Party has been taken over by communists, anti-Semites, anti-Americans, and subversives, and consequently, the Democratic Party today is unrecognizable.

August 5, 2025Dear editor; Sending two nuclear subs to intimidate Russia is an extremely dangerous and wrong message. Such an unwarranted ploy reminds me of the fictional movies Dr. Strangelove and fail safe where the United States and Russia are confronted with launching their nuclear weapons against one another. As

June 26, 2025Dear editor; In a recent Reader’s Commentary authored by Mr. Bela Suhayda (June 24, 2025), there were several implications or suggestions pertaining to the financial support of this country’s colleges and universities that seem to derive from the author’s distorted perspective.

June 29, 2025Dear editor; I thought I was done writing editorials after Donald Trump won the 2024 election. The Democrats seemed to come around and in some circles kind of realized all of the name calling of Trump was doing nothing but making him more popular. Boy was I wrong.
