Letter to the editor: Fix problems here first
How much money does it take to resolve problems of other countries? Where is the financial responsibility of this administration? Are we just going to keep driving the debt higher? At times, it is wise to give money to other countries, when it may benefit the United States, but we...
Editorial: The Frick makes right call rescheduling Islamic art exhibition
Exposure to other cultures is the best way to bring down the walls between them. Particularly when things are tense, learning more about the people around us can be the best bridge to peace. Being afraid of that exposure just encourages a sense of foreignness — an idea of us...
Letter to the editor: Flag flies for ALL Americans
The writer of the letter “Biden is no visionary” (Oct. 11, TribLIVE) offers another in the endless litany of complaints that “my flag doesn’t fly for Joe Biden.” Apparently in the MAGA-verse, there is a critical shortage of original thought. You needn’t be a Latin scholar to understand our motto,...

Letter to the editor: Biden destroying America
I believe President Biden has been on a mission to destroy America as we know it since his inauguration. He started on day one in office by issuing multiple executive orders, including essentially opening our borders to millions of foreign invaders, with many being military-aged males from around the world...

Penn State WR Dante Cephas delivers ‘deserved’ breakout performance in win vs. Maryland
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Many thought Dante Cephas would make an instant impact. When he was at Kent State, he was one of the best wide receivers in the Group of Five. And when he committed to Penn State in January, he was one of the top targets in the...
Letter to the editor: Democrats should debate
The Democratic National Committee is harming the party by not sponsoring debates among presidential candidates. Let us hear what Joe Biden, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson have to say. What are you afraid of? We are Americans. We can take in debates. If Kennedy gets the nod from...
Letter to the editor: Let’s build friendlier roads for all
I commute daily by bike from my house in Squirrel Hill to my office in North Braddock through five municipalities, and the best part of my commute is the mile between Beacon Street and Beechwood Boulevard across the Fern Hollow Bridge to Forbes Street and South Braddock Avenue. This is...

Letter to the editor: Country needs compromise, moderation
Regarding the letter “Seek out truth about Israel” (Oct. 26, TribLIVE): The “left” has no monopoly on extremists, as evidenced by the extreme “right’s” shameful clown show that stopped all progress in the House for three weeks, at a very critical time. One can support Israel and its retribution following...
Editorial: Is Shapiro’s voluntary agreement with CNX the right move for gas well safety?
We do not trust foxes to guard henhouses. That makes sense. Foxes have a vested interest in chicken coops being as unsecured as possible. A few missing birds may occur under the best circumstances, but if the foxes are in charge, who protects the chickens from the guards? Is Pennsylvania...
Letter to the editor: We’ve made much progress on racism
Professor Elwood Watson’s column “The Pull of Racism in America” (Oct. 17, TribLIVE) contends that “many Black Americans are more inclined to believe race is an intractable factor in our society and has an unshakeable grip on all people.” Intractable, unshakeable grip? Not so. While there will always be some...

Letter to the editor: School choice
Regarding the op-ed “We’ve always known how to create good public schools” (Oct. 17, TribLIVE): Yes, let’s talk about school choice. But first consider some old quotes: “Freedom requires that government keep the channels of competition and opportunity open, prevent monopolies, economic abuse and domination.” — President Herbert Hoover “All government...
