Letter to the Editor: Taxes
Dear Editor,It is a given, when taxes are reduced, revenue increases. This happened with Kennedy, Reagan, and Trump. Reducing the increases in Medicare spending is not a cut , but only a misdirection by Democrats. They are quite good at the big lie. Congress must control spending--that takes courage they do not have.
Letter to the Editor: "Iran Deserves It"
Dear Editor, Years ago, when I was on active duty, it was rumored that our military had many contingency plans. Dealing with any imaginable situation. One rumored, one dealt with action against Great Britain. This attack plan has been in the works for many years, with numerous presidents as commander-in-chief. It took President Trump to give the execution order.
Barbara Ann
The first time I became aware of the song “Barbara Ann” was probably in 1990. Thanks to the golden microphone in the EIB Network and talent in on loan from God. Rush Limbaugh with half his brain tied behind his back (just to make it fair) used this song to signal updates on the Gulf War. The parody came out changing the words to “Bomb, bomb Iran.
Letter to the Editor: CCP Aircraft
Dear Editor,Chinese Communist Party Aircraft…why have they landed in Iran? To cart away high grade uranium or something more sinister? What is the answer? Fordow must be destroyed! The hierarchy of Iran eliminated.Regards, John Stiegelmeyer
Letter to the Editor: Destroy Fordow
Dear Editor,Fordow nuclear site must be destroyed. There can be no end until this underground plant is ineffective. I suggest destroying the entrances or using a penetrative device. If a penetrator is used a USAF B-2 could be used. This would be a serious issue, and must be decided by the highest authority. Israel owns the air over Iran - good show! Iran's leadership is KIA.
No Kings...Unless it's Leftwing Royalty
In honor of Flag Day, the Army's 250th Birthday and the audacity that Donald Trump had to be born later, on the same day, June 14th, there were nationwide protests declaring that Donald Trump isn't king. The very sarcastic side of me says, "No duh, Sherlock." Meanwhile, headlines out of New York declared, "The Clintons and Kamala Harris Descend on a Hamptons Wedding of Liberal Royalty.
Letter to the Editor: IDF on Iran
Dear Editor,This attack by Israeli armed forces is long overdue. More air strikes will follow. At least one strike should be on the ungodly leadership. If one U.S. soldier is killed or injured, we must strike HARD. Iranian leadership has repeatedly stated the goal is wiping out Israel, then the U.S., along with Europe. Iran leadership is guided by Satan and must be defeated.
Letter to the Editor: Thank You
To all of my supporters and readers for the truth, after months of over-the-top, snarky, insulting, and rude comments from MAGA and Trump supporters, I have decided to stop the publication of the Trump Report on Vinton Today.Thank you all for the support either by commenting to offset the negative comments or have contacted me elsewhere. I know there are people who may be not have time to delve into what is currently going on in our country who appreciate my weekly rundown.
Ya'll are just so sweet
I want to say again a heartfelt "thank you" for the many cards, notes, and donations that you have all made toward the Vinton Today rebuild project. I went into the post office to mail off the advertising bills for June, figuring there might be a few letters in the box and I'd grab those as well. I opened the box to a handful of letters. I was totally surprised! I was telling my daughter that this is such a weird occupation.
Trump Report 5-25-25
Dear Editor, This is a short rundown of a few of Trump’s activity this past week in no particular order.1. The Defense Department granted Trump his wish to obtain though the country of Qater a “free” $400 million decked out jet that Qater had been trying to sell for over 5 years. The monstrosity is 13 years old, expensive to operate and the Qater government was waiting for some fool to accept this gift—enter Trump.
