Letter to the editor: Trump’s business instincts not so great
The writer of the letter “A businessman in the White House” (Nov. 4, TribLive) extols President Trump’s business instincts, but apparently is ignorant of the real effects of tariffs. It’s a hidden tax on Americans, nothing more, nothing less. Why would our president want to raise prices for Americans? Remember...
Editorial: Budget vote doesn’t make funding flow
The state budget is passed. It’s been signed by the governor. Four months of confusion and belt-tightening is over. But does that mean a handle turns and state funding starts to pour toward all of the restricted agencies and programs like water from a faucet? Not at all. Counties and...

Letter to the editor: NY’s future dire with Mamdani
New York City just elected Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old, inexperienced socialist/communist with radical Islamist sympathies as its mayor. This will not turn out well. I predict New York police officers will leave the force in large numbers due to past statements by Mamdani denigrating and calling for the defunding of...

Letter to the editor: Epstein victims deserve justice, no matter who is involved
When we see grown women talking about having been sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein, it’s easy to forget that they were children when trafficked and abused. Think of girls 14 to 17 years old that you know. How would you feel seeing them treated like sexual objects? There are also...
Editorial: What does selling naming rights buy a school?
If there’s one thing public schools understand, it’s how to apply math to a word problem. “Jimmy has five apples” and “a train leaves Philadelphia heading east at 30 miles per hour” are the kind of things that show up in homework, teaching kids that math problems don’t just come...
Letter to the editor: We have too much ‘representation’
If the president, the most important position in the country, can only serve two four-year terms, why should senators, representatives and judges be allowed to serve more? A rogue judge who gets elected to a 10-year term can cause a lot of damage in his decade in office. I believe...
