Sheriff Albert’s faith & patriotism refreshing I had the honor of attending the swearing-in ceremony of Westmoreland County Sheriff James Albert. It started with the singing of the national anthem, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance by all 175-plus people in attendance. We finished by bowing our heads in prayer...

I would suggest that every person of voting age in America read “A Warning” by Anonymous. This was written by an insider in the White House. I don’t care if you are anti-Trump or pro-Trump. You need to read this book. You don’t even have to buy it; you can...

Let’s impeach “the (expletive).” Another ridiculous statement from the mouth of a prominent leader of the socialist Democrats. Allow me to attempt to understand the effort to impeach and remove President Trump. I cannot! This fairy tale is being led by Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler — the...

If you haven’t seen a political ad promoting mega-billionaire Michael Bloomberg yet, just hold on — you will. Bloomberg suddenly prefers to be called “Mike,” I guess to appeal to the working class. Reminds us oldsters of the 1970s comedy character Raymond J. Johnson Jr., best known for Miller Lite...

I was thinking that if Jesus Christ returned and wanted to run for president, he could never get the Democratic nomination, with his anti-abortion stance and his constant harping on acknowledging and depending on (shudder) God. And if he ran as a Republican, he would lose, about 10 seconds after...

President Trump is correct in withdrawing from the intermediate range missile treaty with Russia enacted 30 years ago, because Russia broke the treaty with its missile development. Another problem with the treaty was it did not prevent non-treaty countries from developing intermediate range missiles; and China has developed and deployed...

There’s always something special in the air over the holiday season. This year, unfortunately, that something was a foul-smelling haze of dangerous industrial pollution. Even in an area known for dirty air, things have been especially bad lately. On Dec. 20, while most of us were doing our last-minute holiday...

I believe Nancy Pelosi has no intentions of sending the House’s Articles of Impeachment to the Senate for trial. Not now that it’s 2020, or ever, for that matter. She has never had any such intentions. She explains that she is “convinced” Trump will not get a “fair” trial but...

I was taken aback by Edward A. Svitek’s letter “Morals, decency & Trump” (Dec. 27, TribLIVE) mentioning my letter “Tired of Democrats’ letters” (Dec 4, TribLIVE). I was raised to not hate anybody, even my critics. I asked the paper to limit the number of letters because we are talking...

As a new “liberal/progressive” Republican, I believe that the national Republican Party must change and evolve in fundamental and significant ways if it is to be at all competitive with the national Democratic Party beginning in 2042-44, when over 50% of the U.S. is predicted to be “non-white.” The national...

Congressional hearings were created to educate lawmakers so they have knowledge before they pass bills or impeach a president. Not today. Today, hardly any education happens. During the President Trump impeachment “testimony,” legislators tried to score points. At least five times, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., shut down criticism by shouting,...

After reading James Sikorski’s letter concerning busing issues (“Illegal school-bus passing,” Jan. 3, TribLIVE), I was pleased to see I’m not the only one concerned about this problem. 1) I have never received a citation for passing a school bus. 2) The situations the operators put other drivers in is...

Regarding Al Duerig’s letter “Abortion least of evils?” (Dec. 22, TribLIVE): Nowhere in my letter (“Wolf’s veto of abortion ban,” Dec. 9, TribLIVE) did I say I was a prophet of God. What I said was all humans are made in the image of God. You may not believe in...

The express political impeachment was on all the channels and in all the papers. Christmas vacation was more important for Nancy Pelosi than passing on her official paperwork to the Senate, another blatant political delay tactic. With the delay, the Democrats could now raise more political questions they missed or...

President Trump took out a terrorist, something that should have happened years ago. This could cause a major conflict. Maybe it’s time to clean up the area, especially Iran. But now America goes to our allies to see who supports us. My prediction is that France will be the first...

The letter “Abortion least of evils “(Dec. 22, TribLive), in which Al Duerig attacks God while millions are celebrating the birth of his son, Jesus, crosses a line. I could write a book to rebut his letter, but instead will reply with a quote from French philosopher Albert Camus: “I...

The statistics are devastating: In 2019, more than 260 officers were shot in the line of duty, and more than 40 officers made the ultimate sacrifice — which is why on Jan. 9, the Fraternal Order of Police Pennsylvania State Lodge is encouraging you to take the time to say...

I read with bewilderment Richard Herd’s letter “Inflation for Pa. officials vs. Pa. seniors” on the cost of living discrepancy between the Pennsylvania Legislature and seniors. There is a good reason for it that is far worse than Herd can imagine. It dates back to the legislators’ infamous midnight pay...

Those seeking the Democratic presidential candidacy are lockstep in their support of abortion and repealing the Hyde Amendment, even though 21 days after fertilization the pre-born baby’s heart begins to beat. By 4 weeks, the heart typically beats between 105 and 121 times per minute. In stark contrast, President Trump...

Because of my Christian upbringing, I expect our president to demonstrate moral leadership, to represent all people, regardless of gender, race and religion, and to set an example for our children. So it is profoundly saddening to observe President Trump’s failures. He has bragged of assaulting women (“when you’re a...

With the number of homeless people increasing yearly, I believe churches should get more involved to provide some relief. This especially holds true during the winter months. The Diocese of Greensburg could be instrumental in addressing this serious and depressing situation, possibly by providing some cots and warm meals. The...

Al Duerig’s “Abortion least of evils?” is one of the most shocking and disgusting letters to the editor I have ever read. In his support for abortion as a means of population control, he states, “Where better to start trimming our numbers than those who are defective and will be...

Letter-writer Kathleen Bollinger (“Biden’s actions in Ukraine should be examined,” Dec. 26, TribLIVE) seems to be unaware of facts already established. President Trump is running an ad in which Joe Biden brags that he called for the firing of Viktor Shokin in exchange for the United States releasing $1 billion...

I could really relate to Dwayne Buffer’s letter “Real ID a money-making scam.” Here’s a little more from the female perspective. Ladies — don’t change your maiden name when you get married. By all means, never change it and then get divorced and/or remarried. Finally, never, ever decide to use...

Regarding Al Duerig’s letter “Abortion least of evils?” (Dec. 22, TribLIVE): I think he has letter-writer John Watson (“Wolf`s veto of abortion ban,” Dec. 9, TribLIVE) pegged all wrong. I don’t believe Watson thinks of himself as a prophet from God, only a good Christian trying to convince people abortion...
