American prodigy: Here comes that rainbow again

Letters to the Editor

DEAR EDITOR: What were the chances that we would be given this gift? By sheer luck we have beaten all odds. Yes, President Donald Trump will certainly be ingrained in the history of America and of the world. He has shown us talents we never could have imagined and most likely will never understand. He may be recognized as a master of American Social Realism and a practitioner of naturalism, which highlighted the struggles of every man. Protagonists against the forces of hate and injustice. Comparable to what John Steinbeck would write in “The Grapes of Wrath,” this president ...

We can only wait to see what Trump does next

Letters to the Editor

DEAR EDITOR: So the illustrious president lost a case in the Supreme Court regarding the tariffs imposed. Even the Supreme Court justices he appointed to the court said no. I see where he never heard of the word “no.” He has vowed to fight the court until the day he leaves office. This is in addition to the court cases he seems to file every day. He wants to put his name and face on all of America. He wants to bankrupt America at the expense of Joe Public. He never has enough money to satisfy himself. Immediately he said he would impose a 10% global tariff on everything ...

Bringing a voice to those suffering from MS

Letters to the Editor

DEAR EDITOR: In 2006, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). When diagnosed, I did not know what MS was. Others, along with myself, experience the various challenges of MS, and no two people experience the same effects. No one has chosen to live with MS; it has chosen us. There are things known and things unknown regarding MS. Every hour, someone is diagnosed with MS, a chronic disease of the central nervous system for which there is no cure. MS interrupts the flow of information between the brain and the body. A few of the impacts of someone with MS could be one or more of ...

Data indicates Americans are less optimistic

Editorials

Gallup released 2025 survey data this month from its National Health and Well-Being Index showing a significant drop in Americans’ optimism for the future. Taken from four quarterly surveys conducted last year, a total of 22,125 respondents were asked to “imagine a ladder with steps numbered from zero at the bottom to 10 at the top.” They were then asked to select the number that represents where they presently stand. Slightly over 59% of those in the sample size believed their lives would be prosperous in five years. While this number may not seem disturbing at first, Dan ...

Why exactly did they destroy the border?

Editorials

Why would any president destroy the U.S. Southern border? The Left typically "pounces" on anyone daring to suggest that the Joe Biden administration had green-lighted illegal immigration to gain new constituents for agendas that otherwise were without public support. The Left smears critics of open borders as racist conspiracists spreading the "Great Replacement Theory." Yet for years Democrats and leftists themselves had written triumphalist books with titles like "The Emerging Democratic Majority." And often they crowed that "demography is destiny." A few left-wing globalists even ...

Liberty without the strings attached

Editorials

“Freedom has more often been lost in small steps by progressive incrementalism, than it has been by catastrophic upheavals such as violence or war.” — James Madison (1751-1836) Last week, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, which covers Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, ruled that the problem of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. is so acute and vast and the Fourth Amendment so burdensome and time-consuming that it should cut some constitutional corners. The federal judiciary is supposed to be in the business of protecting the rights of individuals from ...
