Letters to the Editor

Campaign really heating up

To the editor: It sadly appears that the egomaniacal, condescending, disrespectful and demogogic former President Donald J. Trump continues to promote his 2024 presidential campaign by degenerating to an historical lowest common denominator, as he has done by continuing to refer to his political adversaries on a personal basis as crooked and low IQ, without any substantiating evidence whatsoever, and by questioning one’s race, as he has recently done by attempting to bring the race of his current presidential adversary, Vice President Kamala Harris, into question. This is the ...

Teens help save the day

To the editor: A few weeks ago, at the Ohio Valley Youth Baseball League Pinto championship game there was a mix up with the umpire. The players, coaches, parents and fans waited patiently in the heat as calls were frantically being made to secure an official umpire. Two teens who had been on a college visit and just returned home from a long day heeded the call, suited up and their mom drove them to the game. Brothers Cooper and Nolan Blackburn could have stayed on the couch, played a video game or just said no we are too busy, but they didn’t. They were cheered and thanked ...

Democrat policies damage country

To the editor: It appears that cognitively-impaired Joe Biden has dropped out of the election. God help us during the next six months when he is still serving as president. His policies have been a disaster. Democrat leaders have communicated that the only reason they wanted Biden to drop out of the election was that he couldn’t win. What does that say about the priorities of the Democrat party? No matter who the Democrats pick to run for president, the failed policies of Biden will continue if the presidency is won by a Democrat. These policies include DEI, poor economy, ...

We should choose life

To the editor: Reproductive freedom. Women and men have the freedom to reproduce or not reproduce through the choices they make. But once they have reproduced, once a new life is created, then that life has a right to live. Science has revealed that a unique human is created at the moment of conception, a life with DNA that is not the same DNA as the mother or father. At every conception a genetically unique person is created, a person never before created in the history of the world and who never will be created in the future. This life is not part of the mother’s body like ...

25-Year Club picnic a success

To the editor: On behalf of the Weirton Steel 25-Year Club Committee, we would like to take this time to thank all of the sponsors and workers who made this possible. This year’s picnic was held July 13 and was very well attended with more than 450 members. The weather was great and everyone seemed to enjoy seeing their past co-workers. So, let’s give a big shout-out to all of the great sponsors who gave generously to make this happen: First Choice America Community Federal Credit Union, Tudor’s Biscuit World and Hancock County Savings Bank. Other donors were James White ...

Biden exposed during debate

To the editor: Donald Trump exposed and demolished Joe Biden at the debate. The liberal media cannot lie about or hide Biden’s mental degeneration. They covered for him long enough. Even Hollywood is calling for Biden to go. Biden’s pathetic debate performance, as well as the assassination attempt on Trump, sealed the fate of Biden and the Democrats. Not only did Biden appear lost and disconnected, but he also lied. Biden said he had endorsement of the Border Patrol, they immediately texted “Never had nor will endorse Biden.” You could hear Democrats hitting their heads ...
