Democrats destroying America

Arthur Keller Beavertown The Democrats are trying to destroy America and mid-term elections will be critical. Four Democrat states are suing Trump to keep Somalians robbing America. Nineteen Democrat states are suing Trump to give sex change operations to kids. Twenty-two Democrat states are suing Trump to hide voter data from his audit. Twenty-one Democrat states are suing Trump to give SNAP benefits to illegals. Long rows of wind turbines off our east coast would significantly interfere with our maritime radar complicating search and rescue operations by our Coast Guard and ...

The states must lead — and we must demand it

Patty Satalia, Diane Ebken and Linda Barton State College We are living through a moment of real national danger. The rule of law is being strained, constitutional limits are ignored and federal power is increasingly used to intimidate and divide rather than to protect. When national institutions falter, the states are not spectators. They are a constitutional counterweight — and today, they may be our last line of defense. Democratic governors, acting together, have the authority and responsibility to meet this moment. As chair of the Democratic Governors Association, ...

Trump voters get the shaft

Jim Hironimus White Hall I have zero pity for the people that voted for Trump and believed his lies to get their votes! Where is his less than $2 a gallon gas? Where are the lower prices? Where are their SNAP benefits? Where are their lower health insurance prices and lower medicine prices? Guess he didn’t stop the war in Ukraine in one day, did he? Why are the tax payers paying for him to play golf and have parties at his Mar-a-Lago resort when all the other past presidents went to Camp David to entertain? Camp David cost the tax payer zero! Trump and his family ...

The Jess Long Family Scholarship of KCF

Howard M. Peters Cupertino, Calif. I was pleased to see in The Express that the BEN Class of 1964 contributed to the Jess Long Family Scholarship within the Keystone Central Foundation. This is important work in these times. Education is a way forward. The BEN Class of 1958 has been active in the Jess Long Family Scholarship. It was a joint effort of members of the KCF Alumni Hall of Fame. Four BEN 1958 graduates learned the skills and background to continue on and each earned a Ph.D. in their STEM fields — Bill Rishell, Dennis Royer and, myself, Howard Peters along with Dr. ...

America challenged ‘Might Makes Right’

Ron Williams Pennsylvania Furnace Donald Trump would have us believe that the ‘real’ world is one governed by strength, power and force. A world where ‘might makes right’. A world where America can threaten, coerce or attack anyone anywhere to serve its perceived interests. Indeed, “might makes right’ has been the governing standard for human civilization throughout most of human history. It meant that power and strength ruled. And that the few at the top prospered. Life for everyone else was miserable. That is, until that paradigm was challenged 250 years ago…when ...

KCSD board changes process to accommodate tardiness

Kevin Ferrara Lock Haven It is essential for news agencies, especially those covering local communities, to report information with fairness and balance. Laura Jameson from The Express published an article regarding my interview for the Keystone Central School District Region 4 vacancy, and I considered her article to be well written and fair. However, her article on the board’s Jan. 15 deadlocked vote omitted a crucial fact that I had presented to the board, the issue of past practice or “precedent” concerning the acceptance of applicants for vacant board seats. I’m not ...
