What Does “Freedom” Mean to You?

What Does “Freedom” Mean to You?

I tend to be a rule follower, but I don’t like it when rules don’t make sense or seem fair. Who gets to decide what makes sense or what is “fair”? 01/10/2024 00:00

RE: JODIE SINCLAIR COLUMN

RE: JODIE SINCLAIR COLUMN

What a courageous group of Marines at Tarawa. Willing to give everything to keep Americans free and end the war. It instills deep appreciation and deep sadness at the same time. I’m sure it was a difficult thing to film. You warn in your letter to the editor, that the enemy we face is now from within in the person of Donald Trump. I am a bit amazed by your foreknowledge of Trumps agenda. Authoritarian rule through the Executive branch, neutralizing the power of the Supreme Court and Congress, essentially disrupting our checks and balances? Or has that been happening or attempted already? I agree, it is time to honor those young men by doing our job. 01/10/2024 00:00

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Last year about this time, I resolved to start off the year on a positive note, but, alas. “How dare you!”... to quote young Greta. Ms. Jodie Sinclair has again turned her award-winning journalistic skills to manipulating emotions and employing the Saul Alinsky tactic of accusing her opposition of her own party initiatives. Beginning with a WWII story lauding the heroic sacrifice of our parents and grandparents to attract our patriotic emotions, she contorts into a fabricated description of a dystopian world that her Leftist followers are actualy bringing to fruition incrementally, even as the “boiling frog” analogy. 01/10/2024 00:00
