Is Trump a pacifist or a warmonger?

Kimball Shinkoskey Woods Cross Why does Trump want so badly to stop both the Ukraine and Gaza wars? Is it because he is the most devoted pacifist since Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King? No, it is not. Biden sowed the seeds of war in Gaza, then regularly cultivated and watered the ground there. Trump now wants to reap the harvest of war. He wants beachfront property in Gaza and rare earth minerals in Ukraine. He can’t get his hands on either of those two treasures until hostilities cease. Why would Trump want a war right now in the Middle East or in Eastern Europe when he ...

Racetrack kudos

Scott Knisley Mill Hall I saw the Clinton County Fairground/Speedway boards met. The speedway posted on their website: RaceSaver Sprint Cars and Limited Late Model Divisions shall have mufflers installed for the 2025 race season. This puts them in compliance with their IMCA Sanctioned Muffler rules for the loudest cars. There are muffler rules for the other race cars, like 4-cylinders, that only require a stock original muffler, but they chose not to require them. Maybe because they are not as loud. Again, nobody I know wants to shut the track down. Just to quiet it down. ...

LH Express delivery

Dorothy Stoner Lock Haven My husband and I are LH Express subscribers. We live on Guardlock Drive (Dunnstown) and have had our paper delivered to our door since we moved here in August, 2016. Our paper was delivered every morning without fail, usually before 8 a.m. Kim (sorry, I’m not sure of Kim’s last name) delivered our paper to our door. There were a few times (less than 5?) when Kim was aware of a possible change to our delivery. She alerted us each time by giving us a note a few days ahead of time that our paper might be delivered a bit late since someone else was covering ...

Return of the deep state

Tim McDevitt Bellefonte Most of us want to live freely, pursuing happiness for ourselves and our families. We don’t want numerous federal agencies micro-managing our lives, slowly driving our country into bankruptcy while imposing their version of morality on us and our children. However, a massive bureaucracy of unelected government officials in Washington, D.C., known as the “deep state,” is doing just that. Fortunately, the new administration is fighting against this monster and providing short-term relief. However, constitutional amendments are the only permanent way to ...

We must support Ukraine

Donald Moskowitz Londonderry N.H. On Dec. 5, 1994, Ukraine signed an agreement wherein it would dispose of its nuclear weapons, which were the world’s third largest nuclear arsenal, for a guarantee by the U.S., UK and Russia to provide Ukraine’s security. Ukraine relinquished its nuclear weapons to Russia. Subsequently, Russia attacked Ukraine in 2014 and occupied Crimea. In 2022 Russia attacked again and now occupies eastern provinces of Ukraine. The United States should continue providing military equipment and supplies to Ukraine to belatedly comply with the security ...
