We can’t believe that over 60% of Americans think that abortion should continue as before. Since the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, more than 63 million God-created babies in the United States have been killed. We wonder how many mothers, years later, regret having an abortion? Lou and Peg...

Our borders are not ‘open’ I’m sick and tired of all this “open borders” claptrap. Our borders haven’t been open since 1883. Instead, there is a mess at the border, and it’s been that way for decades. In 2006, a bipartisan group in the Senate drew up a reform plan,...

Dr. Mehmet Oz has questioned John Fetterman’s physical health once again (“Oz releases health records to spotlight Fetterman’s stroke,” Sept. 23, TribLIVE), as if a person must have a perfect health record to serve in the Senate. But moral health is more of an issue, and that’s a real problem...

President Biden has defined MAGA Republicans as semi-fascists who “do not respect the Constitution … do not believe in the rule of law … refuse to accept the results of a free election … fan the flames of political violence … (and) threaten the very foundations of our republic.” So,...

We should be grateful for President Trump. He laid bare the ineptitude, corruption, propaganda and authoritarian leanings of government, collusion with such things by Big Tech, and the general stupidity and authoritarian inclination in a large portion of the public. Don’t forget the 81 million votes for Joe Biden. The...

There is less than a week left to stop S4090, the Dietary Supplement Listing Act of 2022 (DSLA), which will regulate supplements out of existence. Right now, DSLA is still attached to S4348, the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), because Congress knows this is a bad bill that can’t...

Ray Schratz’s letter “Biden’s uncivilized discourse” (Sept. 13, TribLIVE) would be laughable if it weren’t so sad. He says President Biden “smeared” 50% of Americans by calling them fascists and racists. Schratz must have missed the smearing of over 50% of Americans by Republicans at all levels calling us pedophiles,...

Just read Rob Grasser’s letter “What if Fetterman wins and resigns?” (Sept. 19, TribLIVE). I almost choked on my toast. In it, he says “… it shows a dangerous political trend: blind loyalty to a political party instead of loyalty to constituents and the Constitution.” Well, now, he perfectly describes...

In your 15-paragraph article covering Kevin McCarthy’s speech in Monongahela (“Kevin McCarthy, Marjorie Taylor Greene, others visit Monongahela to unveil House GOP’s midterm agenda,” Sept. 23, TribLIVE), five paragraphs concerned former President Trump and five paragraphs were devoted to President Biden, leaving 5 paragraphs to McCarthy’s message. Is this what...

I’m sick and tired of all this “open borders” claptrap. Our borders haven’t been open since 1883. Instead, there is a mess at the border, and it’s been that way for decades. In 2006, a bipartisan group in the Senate drew up a reform plan, but Republican House members torpedoed...

Why doesn’t New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose life’s work seems to be to persecute Donald Trump, file a civil (or criminal) lawsuit against President Biden for his failure to respond to the crisis at our southern border? It would make much more sense. Jerry Krajci Arnold...

Three cheers for Hempfield football and their recent success! Congratulations are not only due to the players and head coach Mike Brown, but big congrats are also due to defensive coordinator Ray Reitz and his son, Ryan. Ray brings a high level of accomplishment to the game, attributed to his...

Well, America, the ship of fools is sailing full speed ahead with Captain Joe Biden at the helm. He’s filling your plate up with all his lies over the loudspeaker with things like the border is closed, we’re not in a recession, I’m making your lives better, I’m not responsible...

Republicans have a rare and unique opportunity to show their patriotism and love of American democracy in the 2022 elections by not casting ballots for any candidates who continue, all facts to the contrary, to deny the results of the 2020 presidential election. This includes gubernatorial candidate Sen. Doug Mastriano,...

It’s crunch time for Sens. Pat Toomey and Bob Casey to co-sponsor a bill that is revolutionary for both humans and animals, and that has a real chance of passing if they lend their support before the end of September. The FDA Modernization Act would remove a mandate that says...

The editorial “Turnpike debt problems must be Harrisburg priority” (Sept. 12, TribLIVE) was spot on: We need a solution to the state’s longstanding transportation-funding shortfall. The report by Pennsylvania Auditor General Timothy DeFoor confirms that our agency continues to meet our commitments to customers — even as we emerge from...

Here in Pennsylvania and across the country, millions of seniors will get relief from a new law that will help reduce out-of-control drug prices. For the first time in decades, Big Pharma’s relentless grip on their wallets, medicine cabinets and peace of mind will begin to pry loose. After years...

Look out, Marjorie Taylor Greene, there’s a wonton killer (Lauren Boebert) on the loose. Perhap you could get your gazpacho police involved and try to capture the little dumpling killer. First, you have to declare marshall law and then find the culprit and put him/her on a Jewish laser beam...

We have a large problem with immigrants entering our country during the administration of President Joe Biden and Democratic congressmen, including Sen. Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Bernie Sanders. What security checks are being used to verify their legitimacy? My wife and I just received our Pennsylvania...

So, yes, I’m a MAGA Republican — probably ultra-MAGA. But definitely more MAGA than Republican. So, according to Joe Biden, many Democratic politicians and many of their colleagues in the news, entertainment and social media, I’m a dangerous, radical, bigoted, racist, Nazi, semi-fascist, right-wing, extremist terrorist who is a greater...

As the 2022 midterm campaigns approach Election Day on Nov. 8 , a federal probe into former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents is testing an unwritten policy of the U.S. Justice Department. Some legal analysts have suggested that the so-called 60-day rule requires federal prosecutors to delay public...

If ever there was a uniquely ill-timed federal Senate position scheduled debate, we can point this out with the Oct. 25 Fetterman/Oz debate. By that date, is it safe to assume that most Pennsylvania mail-in ballots will have already been sent out and returned? Because the Senate federal position open...

My memory of Queen Elizabeth: In August 1960, my friend and I were driving in Windsor, England, when several officers told us to drive to Windsor Great Park, where we would see the queen and Prince Philip at a polo match. We did, and the officers seated us in bleachers...

I speak on behalf of thousands of active and deceased members on the heartbreaking closure of St. Ladislaus Church. People will say, “It’s only a building.” Tell that to the Polish immigrants who with pride and love in their hearts dug by hand with picks, shovels and wheelbarrows, sacrificing to...

The Trib’s editorial board elevated the critical challenge of suicide among active-­duty service members and veterans (”Suicide is military’s last battlefield,” Sept. 15, TribLIVE). More must be done by all Americans to help and aid the mission of groups like Operation Mariposa and the American Legion. New data from the...
