Letters to the Editor

You are special

To the editor: You are special, one of a kind. Not one in a million. Not one in a billion. You are one in forever. In the history of the world there was not another person the same as you, and there will never be another person the same as you in the future. Science has shown us that at the very moment of conception, a unique person is created, an individual genetically different than any other human being ever created or who ever will be created. With this fact established, then it is also a fact that every abortion ends the life of a unique person. A life ended by abortion is a ...

When God becomes gov

To the editor: In a culture that promotes a robust and creative modification of language, God can become gov. This gov would possess a triune composition of media, Planned Parenthood and a third force that extends a spirit to the other two. The third force (it is what it is and it is nobody’s business who or what it is, but it mimics other past and current disciples. Ideas and statutes of two of the most important examples of gov execution — Machiavelli and Margaret Sanger — would be raised to the altar for imitation. There would be holy writ — a Constitution — but, ...

Making a difference in Mingo Junction

To the editor: The community of Mingo Junction owes a heartfelt thank you to Jeffrey Schuetz. He sponsored a give-back day on Aug. 13 at Aracoma Park, for having been in business for 10 years.

Jim and I say thank you, Jeff and your workers, for doing a spectacular job. We appreciate your hard work and dedication to our village of Mingo Junction. Barb Menendez Mingo Junction

Concert was enjoyable

To the editor: A couple of friends invited me to a blues concert at Pennington’s in Jewett. On July 30, we had dinner and saw one of the best concerts I’ve been to in a long time.

Bidenomics not working out

To the editor: Joe Biden, measure him by any means and you’ll find he’s corrupt, incompetent, stupid and a liar. Review a few of his abominable policies: Chinese virus scandal, economy, inflation, record national debt, open borders, cancel culture, treating parents as domestic terrorists, record homelessness, record crime, home sales down, record repossessions, Afghanistan, destroying our energy independence, can’t define what a woman is, cocaine in the White House, top secret files in Chinatown and his garage, didn’t acknowledge his grandchild, thinks Kamala Harris is doing a ...
