Regarding Mona Charen’s column “Finally, Trump has crossed a line for GOP, conservatives” (Jan. 16, TribLIVE): I believe that’s your opinion, Mona. Those people you are referring to are either RINOs or Democrats in Republican clothing. Carl A. Fontana Avonmore...

In a series of letters, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) Teresa Miller expressed her appreciation for the front-line heroes who work for DHS and care for vulnerable populations throughout the commonwealth. She rightfully acknowledged the workers at a variety of DHS facilities, which include remarkable and...

I was absolutely shocked and appalled to hear that teachers and their union have requested to be included in the 1B covid-19 vaccination group. As a group, teachers are in a much lower risk category than those 65-plus with compromised immune systems and 75-plus seniors. Their students are in a...

President Joe Biden has saidhe has no knowledge about his son’s overseas business “enterprises.” This makes him one of two things: a liar or someone who is totally unaware of what’s going on around him. Either one makes him unfit to be president. Roy Hermansen Coraopolis...

Regarding Joe Napsha’s article “Forbes Road residents shocked gobbler ‘Butterball’ shot by game warden” (Jan. 16, TribLIVE): This was senseless. All because a few people were inconvenienced going to the post office. Please! Shame on those whiners. The level of dislike for things we find inconvenient is off the charts....

I believe Democrats weaponized covid-19 to guarantee a Joe Biden victory in the election, coordinating their actions across many states to allow mail-in voting and ignore postmarks. Democrats and RINOs weaponized the Jan. 6 Capitol attack not only to impeach President Trump a second time, but to attack patriotic Republican...

Some school districts are open. Some are closed. Many are using online instruction after being forced by our state to continue the charade that it’s a reasonable stand-in for traditional education. We are passing to our children no shortage of problems, some old and some new. When the governor forces...

In the last few weeks the Opinion section has seen a lot of critical letters decrying Rep. Guy Reschenthaler and demanding his resignation. He is one of very few Republicans who have a backbone and stand up to the totalitarian Democrats. I wish there were more like him. President Trump...

During the 2016 presidential campaign and during President Trump’s term, Trump continually referenced “winning” — we are going to “win” so much. One such reference was during a 2016 rally in Billings, Mont., when he stated, “We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired...

I want to thank Deb Erdley for the article about Dolly and John Regoli’s heartfelt experience with Joe Biden (“New Kensington family recalls Biden sharing their grief, comforting a mother who lost son to brain cancer,” Jan. 20, TribLIVE). They are my wife’s aunt and uncle. The suffering that family...

Finally the Supreme Court has upheld the First Amendment and declared it unlawful to close houses of worship (“High court blocks N.Y. coronavirus limits on houses of worship,” Nov. 26, TribLIVE). If that is unlawful, why are governors allowed to close small businesses and punish American working-class citizens, rob us...

Pittsburgh is not the opposite of Paris. Since Donald Trump announced a withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement in 2017 with the statement “I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris,” the two cities have become a kind of political shorthand for the balance between the economy...

Guy Reschenthaler, Kim Ward, Jake Corman, Mike Kelly, John Joyce, Glenn Thompson, Eric Nelson, Daryl Metcalfe: Burn these names in your brain, memorize them — these are the lawmakers from Pennsylvania you do not want to forget. They do not belong to the Republican Party of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt...

America is more divided than it has been since the Civil War. Throughout 2020 there were numerous battles between Americans over racial injustices, political beliefs and honestly just opinions/views on the world. It gives the illusion that our country is falling apart. I believe this is happening because people are...

While I agree with the proposals laid out by by former Republican congressman Peter Smith in his op-ed “Community capitalism would strengthen markets and people” (Dec. 14, TribLIVE), I would call them examples of “capitalism with a heart.” Not much different than socialism. Many socialists would agree with his ideas....
