DEAR EDITOR: Isn’t it something that in these trying times the president of the United States has to put changing shower heads above the coronavirus. Congratulations to Joe Biden. He has picked a reliable, honest and extremely smart woman to be his vice president. Our current vice ...
DEAR EDITOR: You are voting against your own best interests if you vote for Donald Trump! Just recently he said that he will stop funding Social Security. He is actively pushing “his” Justice Department to legally derail the Affordable Care Act and coverage of pre-existing conditions ...
DEAR EDITOR: President Trump’s postmaster general, Louis DeJoy, is forcing serious delays in the delivery of mail. Ostensibly, these moves are cost-saving measures. But it doesn’t take a cynic to understand how this disruption could affect voting in November’s election. The president ...

DEAR EDITOR: We are fighting a global war against COVID-19, but it won’t stay forever. It recognizes no boundaries. It has no religion or political affiliation. It has no conscience. Its victims are mainly old, weak, poor and uneducated. Minorities, such as blacks and Hispanics, are ...
DEAR EDITOR: George Will’s Aug. 2 political column was puzzling. He is a self-proclaimed constitutionalist and conservative, professing the values of liberty, freedom, individual responsibility and traditional virtues. This seems consistent with our president’s beliefs. Yet Will’s ...
