Letter to the editor: Harris’ epiphany
Pray tell — when did Vice President Kamala Harris have her “epiphany”? After years of saying she would “shut down fracking,” she is now for fracking. After three years of her saying that the “border is secure” and doing basically nothing, she now says she has the answer to solve...

Julie Farnam: Tree of Life anniversary is reminder of dangers of hate
It’s been six years since the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue (L’Simcha Congregation), an attack that killed 11 and injured six others. It was the deadliest incident against Jews on American soil. To intentionally kill is a fundamentally hateful act, a white-hot rage whose flames were fanned by...

Letter to the editor: A lot to get past to vote for Trump
If the economy is your top issue, the criminal who was found guilty of business fraud, bankrupted six businesses and added $7.8 trillion to the national debt is not your guy. If national defense is your top issue, the commander-in-chief who dodged the draft, called veterans suckers and losers, insulted...

Most of Gen Z are now old enough to vote. Here are some of the important issues for Gen Z. Reproductive rights — In Democrat-controlled Pennsylvania, abortions are allowed up to 24 weeks. In Republican West Virginia, nearly all abortions are banned. Kamala Harris would like abortions to be legal...

Letter to the editor: A Trump win could be catastrophic for women
The story “’She should be alive’ — Harris spotlights woman’s death to blast abortion bans” (Sept. 20, TribLive) is a wake-up call for Pennsylvania voters. It describes how two women died when they did not get proper medical treatment after developing complications from taking abortion pills. Why? Because Georgia’s six-week...
Letter to the editor: Trump’s behavior un-American
Donald Trump is, of course, wholly unqualified to be president. I find him to be demonstrably and unquestioningly stupid, corrupt, intellectually and physically lazy, incompetent and lacking even a modicum of executive ability by any standard. A completely unserious person. Had he not been born of privilege, I can only...
