Letter to the Editor: Four Years of Planning for Recovery
Dear Editor, Have we gotten to the point where no one cares if the US is prosperous again? Did the last 12 years of leftist demonrats totally destroy our human sense of hope? During the last 4 years the radical One World Order was working aimlessly to put the final nail in the coffin of Western Civilization. I am going to continue to pray and believe with all my heart, that while Biden and his cronies worked 4 years solely trying to rob us all and put us all on the brink of destruction, I will pray that Trump has used the 4 years to plan and manage a huge project.

President’s Day: Celebrating the Commanders-in-Chief... and Their Quirks
Originally due to President's Day, I wasn't going to put out an email, but realized there are time sensitive things that must go out today. So along with that, I thought I'd include a little bit of lightheartedness to the email.President’s Day is a time to honor the leaders of our nation, score some sweet deals on mattresses, and enjoy a long weekend.

Letter to the Editor: Elon Musk and DOGE
Editor:The present Democratic Party has no leader, no direction and no solutions; they are good at squealing at the top of their lungs and good at insulting the rest of us who don't think like they do. They keep insulting us, that’s not a good way to win us over. You will continue to lose. Democrat leadership has one oar in the water and no rudder.

Letter to the Editor: Living in the present, remembering the past – XI
Editor: If you have read some of my articles you know I have been an aviator for 60 years more or less; retiring a few years ago when I donated my Homebuilt RV-7A. During that time there were many ups and downs (pun intended). There were furloughs that lasted years, even so I accumulated some 18,000 plus or minus flight hours.
Letter to the Editor: Lady Justice peeking under the blindfold
Dear Editor,I eagerly opened the Op-Ed you published yesterday as soon as I read the title! "Is Lady Justice still blindfolded and the scales of justice balanced?"The question is one that hits home for me personally, and the answer is a resounding NO! Unfortunately, our judicial and criminal justice systems have not only removed Lady Justice’s blindfold but have seemingly locked her away entirely!I may not have always felt this way.
Letter to the Editor: Power Grab
To The Editor,The hapless Trump administration created chaos and uncertainly with the notification of a federal funding freeze for any organization that receives federal dollars. The administration was totally taken off guard when the news broke that people all over the country affected by this edict started to object. Either the administration is not aware the extent of the damage this would do or they don’t care.
