My Conclusion is They Only Want Cash
Dear Editor, I’m wondering how many of you are as frustrated as I am with many organizations wanting donations. I’ve tried several of them – including communities “ravaged by floods.” They do not respond to written letters and/or phone calls. If they do and a date and time is set, they do not come or […]

How many schools across the country are ready to handle the Biden administration’s rewrite of Title IX changes?
Dear Editor, The school year is fast approaching. How many schools across the country are ready to handle the Biden administration’s rewrite of Title IX changes?

They Have Since Returned to Their Aggressive and Unfounded Rhetoric
Dear Editor, Two weeks ago, a former president and leading political candidate was nearly assassinated. For a brief moment, political pundits, television hosts, and celebrities retracted their baseless claims that President Trump was a modern-day Hitler and wished him well, ultimately confessing their accusations were manufactured, designed only to instill fear to get votes. Unfortunately, […]
Team up Against Trump, Harris and Kinzinger can do it.
Dear Editor, In most election years the candidates for Vice President have little real effect on election outcomes. The most often cited exception to this is the presence on the long ago 1960 Democrat ticket of Senator Lyndon Johnson, who probably carried Johnson’s home state of Texas for the Kennedy – Johnson ticket. People now […]
Makes Private Education Look like a No-Brainer.
Dear Editor, In so far as Daylis Stadium goes, I don’t know what is more discouraging – its current condition or the fact that school district 2 was allowed to let this happen!

I Can’t Trust Him or The News
Dear Editor, I always thought of Donald as an opportunist, photo opps the best, just to make him look good. If you weren’t aggressive or assertive enough on the Apprentice, you got fired. Donald reminds me of the
There is a Place for Political Violence in America?
I was amazed to learn from Mr. Crisp there is a place for political violence in America. Who would have ever guessed that? In his circular reasoning he somehow comes up with the illogical conclusion that since there is political violence in America, then there is a place for political violence. I guess only a […]
