Letter to the editor: Swamp could have been drained
I believe Democrats weaponized covid-19 to guarantee a Joe Biden victory in the election, coordinating their actions across many states to allow mail-in voting and ignore postmarks. Democrats and RINOs weaponized the Jan. 6 Capitol attack not only to impeach President Trump a second time, but to attack patriotic Republican...
Letter to the editor: We’re failing our children
Some school districts are open. Some are closed. Many are using online instruction after being forced by our state to continue the charade that it’s a reasonable stand-in for traditional education. We are passing to our children no shortage of problems, some old and some new. When the governor forces...
Letter to the editor: Reschenthaler gives us hope
In the last few weeks the Opinion section has seen a lot of critical letters decrying Rep. Guy Reschenthaler and demanding his resignation. He is one of very few Republicans who have a backbone and stand up to the totalitarian Democrats. I wish there were more like him. President Trump...
Letter to the editor: How much ‘winning’ did Trump do?
During the 2016 presidential campaign and during President Trump’s term, Trump continually referenced “winning” — we are going to “win” so much. One such reference was during a 2016 rally in Billings, Mont., when he stated, “We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired...
Letter to the editor: Biden knows how to help
I want to thank Deb Erdley for the article about Dolly and John Regoli’s heartfelt experience with Joe Biden (“New Kensington family recalls Biden sharing their grief, comforting a mother who lost son to brain cancer,” Jan. 20, TribLIVE). They are my wife’s aunt and uncle. The suffering that family...
Letter to the editor: Are we no longer free?
Finally the Supreme Court has upheld the First Amendment and declared it unlawful to close houses of worship (“High court blocks N.Y. coronavirus limits on houses of worship,” Nov. 26, TribLIVE). If that is unlawful, why are governors allowed to close small businesses and punish American working-class citizens, rob us...
Editorial: It isn’t Pittsburgh vs. Paris
Pittsburgh is not the opposite of Paris. Since Donald Trump announced a withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement in 2017 with the statement “I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris,” the two cities have become a kind of political shorthand for the balance between the economy...
Letter to the editor: Lawmakers in ‘party of Trump’ must go
Guy Reschenthaler, Kim Ward, Jake Corman, Mike Kelly, John Joyce, Glenn Thompson, Eric Nelson, Daryl Metcalfe: Burn these names in your brain, memorize them — these are the lawmakers from Pennsylvania you do not want to forget. They do not belong to the Republican Party of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt...
Letter to the editor: Technology fueling our divisions
America is more divided than it has been since the Civil War. Throughout 2020 there were numerous battles between Americans over racial injustices, political beliefs and honestly just opinions/views on the world. It gives the illusion that our country is falling apart. I believe this is happening because people are...
Letter to the editor: Capitalism with a heart close to socialism
While I agree with the proposals laid out by by former Republican congressman Peter Smith in his op-ed “Community capitalism would strengthen markets and people” (Dec. 14, TribLIVE), I would call them examples of “capitalism with a heart.” Not much different than socialism. Many socialists would agree with his ideas....

An airport named after Donald Trump? Palm Beach County says ‘no’ to that
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Former President Donald Trump won’t see his name on the airport in his home turf of Palm Beach County — and it also might be difficult to engrave it anywhere else in South Florida. A majority of Palm Beach County commissioners told the South Florida Sun...

Sounding off: We need honesty, accountability
I have waited patiently to hear from Rep. Guy Reschenthaler about the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. At 12:17 p.m., while the nearby “Stop the Steal” rally was underway, Reschenthaler’s Facebook post proclaimed “Donald Trump is the BEST president since Lincoln.” Less than an hour later, the siege...
