What more can be said about Donald Trump? Well, I can think of a few things. First of all, he promised to withdraw troops from Syria because he doesn’t seem to believe in intervention in other countries. Then he sends them to Iraq. Now he wants to take over Syria’s...

Domestic abuse can increase around the holidays. Men who beat and abuse their partners emotionally and physically need to be exposed for what they are: cowards of the worst sort who do not even deserve to be called human beings. They will try to deny they did anything, or say...

What the Democrats are doing to President Trump brings to mind what the Pharisees did to Jesus Christ. The Pharisees (Democrats) brought false charges against Jesus (Trump) — none of the witnesses in the Schiff and Nadler investigations raised their hands when they were asked if Trump committed impeachable offenses....

Trump and his band of merry white Republican men are trying to undermine the Constitution of the United States of America — in my view, simply because of racism and sexism. A lot of President Trump’s Republican government officials are lawyers, and I know they understand constitutional law. I believe...

I was a union worker for 38 years. I was told I must vote Democrat in every election. Maybe in the past the Democratic Party was for the working person. No more. I started paying attention to the way things were going — using my brain instead of being one...

Only in a dream world would “Make America Great Again” be true. President Trump has disgraced the country. The multiple instances of obstruction of justice revealed in the Mueller report and in the impeachment process demonstrate real concern. The impeachment hearings have proven that Trump and cohorts pressured foreign entities...

Considering the responses in the Trib and the numerous social media messages I received about my last letter to the editor (“Atheism & politics,” Nov. 16, TribLIVE), I wanted to give a general response to clarify some things. I am an atheist. The only thing that means is that I...

Whoever is giving advice to our president is doing a terrible job. It’s obvious to me that he is taking advice from sycophants. It will take people with backbone, guts and a healthy dose of patriotism to stand up and get it through his thick head that: • No, it...

I, for one, am sick and tired of the Democratic House of Representatives trying to remove a duly, lawfully elected president from office. I believe they started talking about impeaching President Trump the day after he was sworn in, after the election did not turn out in their favor. When...

Americans today are faced with an overwhelming and unprecedented health crisis: Alzheimer’s disease and related diseases. A new patient develops Alzheimer’s every 65 seconds, and with the rate of disease expected to triple within the next generation, it is evident that preventative action must be taken to alleviate the possible...

Mary Giron Weyant’s letter “Shame on Comcast” (Nov. 29, TribLIVE) was spot on. Comcast removing the Turner Classic Movies channel and not giving customers a $9.99 credit is awful. I don’t want and didn’t ask for the replacement of hunting and fishing. We’re senior citizens and do neither, but enjoyed...

Now we have Robin Hood in reverse: Rob from the poor and give to the rich! It is stunning to me that the Trump administration is on course to deny food stamp benefits to over 700,000 of our poorest citizens. The administration that has given back nearly a trillion dollars...

The Associated Press article “Pa. school district can keep ‘Redskins’ name, but logos might go” reported that the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission has ordered the Neshaminy School District in Bucks County, whose sports teams’ nickname is the Redskins, to get rid of all logos and imagery that “negatively stereotype Native...

The congressional impeachment hearings are the equivalent of the hypnotist’s shiny watch on a chain — going back and forth, while the not so calming voice of Adam Schiff hums in the background. Always making sure the attention of the wide-eyed, gullible citizenry is drawn away from the disastrous failings...

The Washington Post and New York Times both marveled at the fact that James Comey was an obsessive and prolific note-taker who always took contemporaneous notes to preserve meeting discussions. However, when the Inspector General’s report confirmed that Comey briefed President Barack Obama on the Trump-Russia investigation in August 2016...

Dec. 7, 1941, was a day of infamy when over 2,000 American servicemen were killed at Pearl Harbor. Unfortunately, America experienced another day of infamy on Nov. 8, 2016, when Donald Trump was elected president. Vladimir Putin was celebrating. From his inauguration on, Trump has enhanced Russia’s military power in...

Walter Williams’ op-ed “On climate, are scientists dishonest or afraid?” (Nov. 22, TribLIVE) begins with the sentence, “The absolute worst case of professional incompetence and dishonesty is in the area of climate science.” It doesn’t take but a few minutes to find that both he and Tony Heller, whom he...

I’ve been the patient of a talented and caring nurse practitioner for 30 years. I am writing to respond to the recent back and forth between nurse practitioners and doctors regarding full practice authority for nurse practitioners. I trust my nurse practitioner, Cathy Grant. She’s the best health care person...

Well, folks, I just returned from trying to participate in another government scam, Real ID. After waiting in line for almost two hours, I finally get up to the desk and guess what? They would not accept my original birth certificate because it is not state-issued. They gave me a...

Letter-writer Courtney Hodge (“Atheism & politics,” Nov. 16, TribLIVE), a self-described atheist, wrote that “We live in the information age, and the more you know, the less religious you become.” Well, at long last I’ve found the one person who is so intelligent that she can answer a question that...

Pa. Legislature should be cut down The Dec. 2 editorial cartoon in which the public serves the lawmakers could not be truer. In 2018 we were to vote for a constitutional amendment to cut the state House from 203 to 151 members, which would save millions, but it was voted...

I am deeply troubled by Pennsylvania’s Department of Human Services, which refuses to grant a religious exemption to Catholic adoption agencies who place children with a family of a man and a woman (“Catholics halt adoption, foster care programs in Greensburg, Pittsburgh over state rule.”) According to a 2016 American...

Guilty as charged. President Trump stands convicted. The jury has spoken. Who is the jury? Three pompous, arrogant members of academia, full of hate, have given their verdict. Their courtroom was the first House Judiciary Committee hearing on impeachment. Sadly, they cannot hide their loathing of the president behind a...

The biblical Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are pestilence, war, famine and death. There is a version in Congress that I term the Four Harpies of the Apostasy: Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez, Ayanna Pressley and Ilhan Omar. A harpy is a covetous, grasping person; apostasy is the desertion of one’s...

As a former Navy enlisted and officer, I am highly concerned with the commander-in-charge-of-White-House-chaos’ interference in Navy matters. The commander-in-charge-of-White-House-chaos overruled the Navy’s decision to demote Chief Petty Officer and Navy Seal Edward Gallagher. Gallagher was convicted of posing with a dead detainee. President Trump’s rationale was that he was...
