Letter to the editor: Biden hypocritical
It seems we have a hypocrite at the helm of our nation, saying one thing while hiding what’s really going on. He tells the American people there is no border problem, and focuses on people coming from just three countries; meanwhile, there are thousands coming from more than 100 countries,...

Letter to the editor: Casey, Toomey must protect our right to vote

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack: Some price increases are the result of businesses ‘taking advantage’
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said some recent price increases were the result of businesses “taking advantage” of the coronavirus pandemic and supply chain disruptions to push up food costs.

Letter to the editor: More to pro-life than just abortion
The pro-life movement focuses on the unborn, which is a good cause. However, there seems to be an anti-life movement when it comes to gun control laws, vaccines and mask mandates and climate change. All of these issues also affect human life. Marilyn Dvorsky Elizabethtown...
Letter to the editor: Don’t want covid tests made in China
Our family received our free covid tests in the mail. We considered it quite ironic (and disgusting) to see that they were made in China. I was tempted to “return to sender.” Instead I’m throwing them in the trash. Regis Brentin Scott...
Not for ‘another 100’: Hope held that pandemic fades in Year 3, becomes part of normal cycle

Letter to the editor: Politicians not worth the money or vote
Why is it that when you have selected an individual from one of the two major voting parties, they feel you are obligated to continue donating to them when they haven’t accomplished anything they originally promised to do when first running for office? If at any time a politician would...

Pennsylvania has more than 5,000 schools. They come in all stripes. Public and private. Charter and Catholic and cyber. They nurture and educate and safeguard millions of children across the state. So why did only 750 of those schools take advantage of the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s offer of free,...
Letter to the editor: Impeachment reserved for crimes
I am amazed at how many right-wing politicians and voters completely misunderstand, and how casually they bring up, the somber issue of presidential impeachment. The United States impeaches our presidents for committing crimes. There is no other reason that justifies impeachment. We can vote a president out in national elections...
