Betrayal
Frank Wilson Montgomery The Democratic Party is betraying the American people and the United States, just like Judas betrayed Jesus.
Response to radar bill story
James Sikorski, Jr. Wapwallopen The recent municipal police radar story missed all the key points. In addition to it’s stated goal, there is moving radar for state police, seeming requirements to lower speed limits, change calibration rules, and other goodies. Nobody ever seeks to compel compliance with current federal and state policies which are to post speed limits at the 85th percentile speed of traffic. If speed limits are widely ignored, then perhaps the speed limits need to be raised? That would make roads much safer. Pennsylvania has already seen radar problems with ...
No strategy, no end
George Polycranos Port Matilda Sound presidential decision-making requires guidance from experienced advisors. No president should take the United States to war because “he had a feeling,” or claim he’ll end it “when I feel it in my bones.” Yet Donald Trump has failed to provide the American people—or Congress—with a clear, consistent objective or endgame for the war in Iran. Even some of his own allies are raising alarms. Former U.S. counterterrorism chief Joe Kent resigned, stating he could not support a war in which “Iran posed no imminent threat to our ...
Lest we forget
Arthur Keller Beavertown I could address many of the Democrat hype like Trump’s $3.62 per gallon of gas today here in Beavertown vice the $5.16 under Biden, a large article in Sunday Daily item addressing long-term mortgage rate “leaping to 6.38%” when under Biden it was 7.8%, the highest in 23 years, mammoth fraud in California, Minnesota and Maine — all Democrat states, rampant voter fraud surfacing each and every day, … but instead chose why we attacked Iran who has enough uranium to build 10 nuclear bombs, a missile with a 2,500 mile range capable of hitting any major ...
War or health care
David Whiteman Centre Hall President Trump says he launched a war to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons and attacking the United States. Many experts—including our own intelligence analysts — question whether that threat was ever imminent. The threat to Americans’ health, however, is real. Health care is increasingly hard to afford, driven in part by last year’s budget bill and the expiration of Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies for people who buy their own insurance. Republicans argued that adequately funding health care was not worth increasing the budget ...
Who does Thompson serve?
Patty Satalia State College Voters across Pennsylvania’s 15th Congressional District are dealing with rising costs, shrinking health care access, and growing uncertainty about the future. Yet Congressman Glenn Thompson seems focused on something else entirely. Thompson wants another term representing this district. We shouldn’t re-elect him to a job he isn’t doing. His record shows he represents the interests of wealthy donors and large corporations—not the people of central and northern Pennsylvania. Too often, he’s out of touch with the concerns of the people he was ...
