We’ve helped Ukraine enough President Biden, when is it going to be enough? You continue to send weapons, billions and billions of dollars, and all other kinds of help to aid Ukraine. What about the people of the United States? Those billions of dollars that you keep sending to Ukraine...

I was disappointed to see the column by Tom Purcell extolling air conditioners (“A/C has made life cooler,” July 24, TribLIVE). Air conditioners are a big part of the problem, hardly a solution. I wonder if he knows that while they are cooling a living area, they just move the...

As I read the letter ”Trump doesn’t stand a chance in DC” (Aug. 6, TribLIVE), I was amused at the false statements, another ploy of Trump acolytes, so with that in mind, I’ll try to show its falsehoods. Alleged crimes are charged in the district in which they were committed...

Recently I told a gentleman he was in a handicapped parking space. He looked with difficulty at the faded blue stripes. He moved without complaint. What a class act. I would like to ask businesses to show people who need these spaces — and those who don’t — a little...

Hempfield Township, among many other current and future purchases, is spending $3.5 million to purchase the former SCI Greensburg state prison and additional money for cleanup (“Hempfield to purchase former state prison site, demolish buildings,” June 26, TribLIVE). What I would like to know is this: Why does Hempfield still...

President Biden, when is it going to be enough? You continue to send weapons, billions and billions of dollars, and all other kinds of help to aid Ukraine. What about the people of the United States? Those billions of dollars that you keep sending to Ukraine could benefit people that...

Did you see this? Gold Star mother Kelly Barnett, mother of Staff Sgt. Darin Hoover, crying as she testified about his death as he and others were abandoned by President Joe Biden and left to die. The soldiers knew, the families know, their government didn’t care what happened to them....

Found on Google: McCarthyism — a campaign or practice that endorses the use of unfair allegations and investigations. I have a new term: Trumpism — the practice that endorses election fraud, the claims being false. See count 2, USA vs. Donald J. Trump filed Aug. 1 in the U.S. District...

If this were a Hallmark movie, there would not have been another accident in the 1600 block of Arona Road. Two people would not have been life-flighted to the hospital, a third taken by ambulance. Two years ago, a woman would not have died in my front yard. If this...

During our lifetimes we make many decisions. Some of these decisions will not only affect you, but cost others. Some of us will drink alcohol, some will not. Some will be satisfied with a drink or two, but some will become alcoholics. The same goes with drugs. Most will not...

The latest indictment is not to put Donald Trump in jail; it is to keep President Biden out of jail, because if Trump wins the election, he will go after Biden. Clem Zahrobsky Delmont...

I’ve been an AFS-USA volunteer in Natrona Heights for eight years, and I want to share what it means to host a high school exchange student in our community. Highlands High School has partnered with AFS for more than 25 years and is open to hosting more students this academic...

With FDR’s progressive policies, strong unions and investment in public education in the mid- to late- 1900s, the United States had the first world-class middle class. The 1950s, ’60s and ’70s were the golden age of middle-class America. People could buy homes for the first time, and their children could...

“The eagle and the arrow: An eagle was soaring through the air when he felt a pain in his side which caused him to crash helplessly to the ground. As he felt his life slipping away, he looked at the arrow which had felled him and found that the shaft...

Allegheny County Council member Anita Prizio is right to point out the need for strong moves to respond to the threats associated with the growing climate crisis (“Pennsylvanians deserve bold climate action — and accountability,” Aug. 4, TribLIVE). The high and growing costs will certainly be disproportionately borne by those...

Aug. 1 was just another normal day in the District of Corruption. Special Prosecutor Jack Smith alleges Donald Trump tried to subvert the 2020 election. This is no surprise for a Democrat whose wife donated $2,000 to the Biden campaign and was a producer on a documentary about Michelle Obama....

Joe Biden stinks. Everything about him stinks. He stinks as a leader. His economic policies stink. His energy policies stink. His “weaponized” federal agencies stink. His foreign policies stink. His border policy stinks. His lying stinks. His ineptitude and stupidity stink. What stinks worst about this is that it surprises...

Thirty years ago July 16, our beloved mother, Stephanie Coyle, was found dead in her Arnold home, throat slashed, stab wounds in her back and neck area, sexually assaulted, and a carving of unknown meaning on her back. We are still waiting for justice for her. Westmoreland County District Attorney...

Regarding the letter “God is a problem, not an answer” (July 29, TribLIVE): When you hear someone say “God help us,” what does that mean? God is described by theologians as being omnipotent. Theologians study God to understand who he is. God is omnipotent, meaning, has unlimited power and is...

I am a resident of a senior retirement community in Squirrel Hill and no longer able to drive, but friends here often take a number of us to the business area in Squirrel Hill so we can run a bunch of errands at one time. The small businesses in Squirrel...

A recent letter-writer denounced the “leftist hysteria” that he believes is defending “the sexualization of children in our schools” (“Books and the sexualization of our children,” Aug. 3, TribLIVE). It would be good if he had offered concrete examples of either the “leftist hysteria” or of the “sexualization” of children....

It is a Pennsylvania law that throwing cut grass on the road is illegal. I ride a motorcycle and feel this is a law especially for those who ride. I wish people would be made aware of this law; I have neighbors who aren’t aware of it. I have six...

School districts should preserve sex-based athletics distinctions Chris Harlan’s article “‘No one has a better answer:’ PIAA relying on principals to identify transgender athletes” (July 29, TribLIVE) discusses PIAA’s deference to individual schools to determine whether biological males can play on a female team. I strongly disagree with the PIAA’s...

Chris Harlan’s article “‘No one has a better answer:’ PIAA relying on principals to identify transgender athletes” (July 29, TribLIVE) discusses PIAA’s deference to individual schools to determine whether biological males can play on a female team. I strongly disagree with the PIAA’s conclusion that there are no better answers....

For decades many Republicans have had eyebrow-raising, uneasy relationships with racists and their organizations. Sharing platforms with white nationalists, being uncritical of racist remarks and actions, and cozying up to groups like the John Birch Society are well-known, historical examples of an unspoken, behind-the-scenes position of unchallenged agreement and a...
