Carter passes away at 100
This weekend President Jimmy Carter passed away at the age of 100. Now I have to admit I don't remember a lot about his presidency other than he was the son of a peanut farmer and his brother Billy promoted a beer. The latter was some kind of scandal back in the day.His one-term presidency ended with the freeing of the Iranian hostages after 444 days.
Letter to the Editor: The Reason for the Season
Dear Editor, Thus says the LORD: You, Bethlehem-Ephrathah too small to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel; whose origin is from of old, from ancient times.

Letter to the Editor: Response
To the Editor:
I was not going to respond to Gerald’s taunting because it does not warrant a response but he
continues to get more vicious as time goes on. So here it goes.
For the record, I did not mock John or any other veteran. There are two types of people. Those who
carry-on with their lives accepting the accolades from others about their service. Letter to the Editor: Project 2025
Dear Editor, This is an overview of the project by the Heritage Foundation (a conservative think tank) none of their positions are cast in stone they are ONLY recommendations. The left has been critical of the project but has never offered reasons why. The Foundation proposes a project yearly for the benefit of Conservative Lawmakers.
Christmas at the White House: A Comedic Commentary
Ah, Christmas at the White House. A time for cheer, unity, and apparently... surreal design choices that beg for commentary.Let’s start with the star of the show: the “tree-mendous” Christmas tree. This isn’t just any tree—it’s a survivor of Hurricane Helene that ravaged North Carolina. First Lady Jill Biden recounted how the storm wiped out thousands of trees on the farm, yet this one lone evergreen stood tall.

Letter to the Editor: Do the work! Part 2
Dear Editor,I have some very large expectations of the second Trump administration and its accomplishment of the primary goals of the Republican Party – everyone in the administration needs to “Do the work!” . . . meaning that the elected Republican Congressmen, the elected Republican Senators, the cabinet members selected by Trump – they all need to be on the same page.
Letter to the Editor: Election and the Aftermath
To The Editor: Before the election, I among others, tried to bring to light the roadmap that the Heritage Foundation wrote for a new Republican administration called Project 2025. The comments from the MAGA peanut gallery consisted of an absurd comment that even though a massive amount of people spent a massive amount of time, energy, and money creating a 900-page document that it really did not mean anything.
Letter to the Editor: Deport non-citizen felons
Dear Editor: Why are certain mayors protecting non-citizen criminals? Denver and Chicago -- Including the Governor of Illinois they are about to violate federal law and may be prosecuted in Federal Court. Are all Democrats against law and order?? Mr. Tom Homan, round up all the crooks, drug dealers and send them back where they came from or put them in Federal Prison for life no matter how long or how difficult it is.
Letter to the Editor: Ideas for Old Creamery Nature Trail
Dear Editor, For the residents of Vinton and surrounding area who are interested in exercise, nature and trail activity, do you really want to see the entrance to the Old Creamery Nature Trail at West 8th St. and Highway 218 be closed? That is the plan by Benton County Conservation who own the trail. A new trail entrance to the OCNT has been graded and surfaced approximately 2/3rds of a mile west of Theisens on the north side of the road.
Letter to the Editor: On the Threshold of WWIII
Dear Editor,At the beginning of this week Sweden, Finland and Norway told their people to prepare for war. Sweden has not been to war in over 200 years. The pamphlets passed out talked about how to survive a nuclear attack. It had advice about how to build shelters and store food. That brought back memories of the Cuban Missile Crisis – the infamous advice of “duck and cover” .
