Letter to the editor: Trump, Vance not the leaders we need
How did America lose its footing? I have seen hate-filled, Trump-style politics before. George Wallace ran on a hate-filled platform of segregation. From 1971 to 1979, we laughed and cried with “All In The Family” every Saturday night. We laughed at Archie Bunker and his skewed prejudices. We watched as...

Letter to the editor: Trump is the right pick for president
After watching the presidential debate, I as a young American have been shown who the correct candidate to vote for is, President Trump.

Letter to the editor: Campaign season is fairy tale season
I recently came back from vacation and, while away, a fairy-tale debate took place between two candidates for president. It seems one candidate defended the record the candidate had as president and also made some wild statements that were fact-checked by the moderators. The other candidate was in a fishing...

Letter to the editor: Bible tells us to love neighbors, foreigners
As a Christian who has studied and taught the Bible most of my life, I’m struck by a regular theme in it. Did you know that the familiar command, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” first appears in Leviticus 19? Then, 15 verses later, the command is, “You shall love the...
