Letter to the editor: Can’t fix stupid
What happened on Nov. 8 makes me ashamed to be from Pennsylvania. Our state is the laughingstock of the country. Only fools would vote for more inflation, more crime, unsecure borders, sanctuary cities, drugs, critical race theory, racism and socialism. We now have to suffer because of the uneducated voters who...
Editorial: Small businesses are the backbone of economy
Black Friday started its less-than-subtle expansion by creeping forward hour by hour into Thanksgiving, until one could rush through a Thanksgiving lunch to go line up for pre-Christmas deals. While there was pushback from some against cutting into the national holiday, that didn’t mean people objected to expanding access to...
Letter to the editor: Republicans have nothing to offer
Poor Ed Davis (“Biden will take blame for destruction,” Nov. 10, TribLIVE)! He must be so thrown by the lack of the “red wave,” he’s forced to attack President Biden.

Letter to the editor: GOP needs young, fresh faces

Gary Franks: Should America be thankful for the midterm results?
Politically, America has much to be thankful for this holiday season. Our democracy is strong. Democrats and Republicans have something to cheer about.

John Hinshaw: Will Pa. GOP change course? Probably not.
