Letter to the Editor: Democratic Party explained AGAIN
Dear Editor, I thought I had straightened everyone out with a response in January concerning the use of democrat vs. Democratic Party. But I see that some were not paying attention.Again, the party name is the Democratic Party. As a member of the party we are known as Democrats. Saying or writing “democrat party” is considered a slur. The history of that slur is below.
Letter to the Editor: Upcoming election and Vietnam
Dear Editor, Note on this date, Aug. 10, I attended our 65th High School reunion. Thank you, Larry K. and Jack R. for your kind words and encouragement to continue writing. Rest assured I will not be intimidated. I believe in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th Amendments to our Constitution, my critics do not. I was an Air soldier some 50 years ago and still believe in the Oath I took in May of 1963 to become a commissioned officer in the United States Airforce.

Letter to the Editor: For the first time I’m ashamed of a national candidate
Dear Editor, For the first time I’m ashamed of a national candidateIf anyone has paid attention to my Facebook page, blog page or the commentaries I’ve offered here – it should be clear that I’ve had very strong disagreements with various politicians over the years. The rise of the Marxist left in the form of our Democrat party presents clear and present danger to our Republic that seems to be growing.
Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor, Having just arrived in my hometown for a visit, I was appalled and saddened by the lack of pride shown by our downtown. Driving down Main Street, the sight of the sidewalks overgrown with weeds was disturbing. How can a community have so little regard for the impression it makes on their citizens and visitors. It’s a sign of our city going downhill.
Letter to the Editor: Poll Numbers
Gerald, this one is for you.In an earlier post Gerald bragged about poll numbers favoring Trump. While it is way too early to project any type of winner yet, there has been a momentum shift. I found this on Real Clear Politics whose business is to collect polling data. After only 6 days with Harris in the mix, these are new poll numbers from FOX. I include mostly FOX because I know you will not believe anyone else’s numbers.
Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor, I thoroughly enjoy keeping in touch with my hometown via Vinton Today, thank you to all who make this possible. Robust conversations held here are good for the soul. I saw a book recently that sums up all the "Reasons to vote for Democrats." The book is by Michael Knowles and is a quick read. I agree completely with every single point that he makes in the book.
Letter to the Editor: Letter of reprimand for thee but not me
Dear Editor,If you remember not very long ago on March 26,2024 at 55 minutes, Benton County Human Resources Director Ms. Sue Wilber was investigating Mr. Turnis the IT director for not following his superior’s directive. She brought forth her conclusions from her “investigation” and said that Mr. Ternis had not followed an unwritten, undocumented but spoken directive to remove a security camera.
Letter to the Editor: Trump and NATO
Dear Editor, Donald Trump has admitted that he did not know anything about NATO before taking office. Story HERE.Think about that for a moment. Most people have at least a working knowledge of NATO and for someone so intelligent as Trump,
who claims with a supposed intelligence gene pool from a now deceased MIT professor uncle, one would assume that he would know
something about NATO.
After Pressure is Applied President Biden bows out
On Sunday, President Biden released a statement announcing that he will not seek reelection. The statement reads in part, "It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term. Summertime Math
It's time for summer school. If Johnny turns on the central air for the month of June, and receives a large bill in July, how many times did he look at the checkbook before doing so? That is the math problem for this month.Because of a social post complaining about electric bills, I did some checking. The Electric Rates did NOT go up last month. I should be able to stop with those two sentences but some need more of an explanation it sounds like.
