Letter to the editor: Tough talk from Biden could help end war in Ukraine
Almost the entire world is outraged with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but where is President Biden’s outrage? Sure, he condemned the invasion, called Putin names and implemented some sanctions. It took Biden a month to have an emergency meeting with NATO. When he implemented sanctions in February, Biden said, “we’ll...
Letter to the editor: Evil forces destroying us
I believe there are evil, satanic forces at work destroying our country, our freedoms and our way of life. People’s thought processes are mostly based on logic, common sense and natural law. But we are being inundated with absurdities that defy these guiding principles and confuse our sensibilities. We are...
Letter to the editor: U.S. should change from hawk to dove
Regarding the article “No end in sight for Ukraine war as Putin hails Victory Day” (May 9, TribLIVE): It was a terrible idea for the U.S. and other countries to support Ukraine and to give it military hardware. World leaders should have condemned Russia for threatening war and should have...
Letter to the editor: Roe and racism
I don’t believe it’s unreasonable to presume that many of the people demonstrating against the Supreme Court draft decision on abortion also participate in protests under the banner of Black Lives Matter. A closer investigation of abortions and racism may be helpful. Blacks and Hispanics combined make up less than...
Letter to the editor: Understanding the workings of Washington
Our government is founded on the principles of checks and balances. The legislative branch creates the laws. The executive branch executes those laws. And the judicial branch interprets and clarifies those laws. And our media spotlights when proper execution of these functions is not occurring. If you have not read...
Letter to the editor: Remembering Dr. Clement Guarlotti
Dr. Clement Guarlotti, a well-known Greensburg dentist and prosthodontist, died May 9. At the age of 77, he was still at the top of his profession. Guarlotti was excellent at what he did. His experience helped him finish procedures perfectly in a short amount of time. He always played oldies...
Letter to the editor: We shouldn’t be punishing women
The Taliban in Afghanistan said they wouldn’t do “it” if we leave them alone and go home. But now they again are punishing women who don’t cover up from head to toe, and who travel unescorted by a man. Why would any religion or government punish women for a basic...
Letter to the editor: Misinformation season
IT’S RABBIT SEASON! NO, IT’S DUCK SEASON! NO, RABBIT SEASON! DUCK SEASON! Actually, it’s “misinforming” politician season. Some might even call it “lying” politician season. It’s that time, one of the two per year, that candidates flood the media with their loving family photos, rolled-up sleeves, videos of walks in...
Sounding off: Overturning Roe v. Wade
The Supreme Court seems about to overturn Roe v. Wade. Just when you think the whole world is going to hell, something important, beautiful and wonderful happens. God is real, present, aware and involved. And he never loses in the long run. P.S.: Thank you, President Trump. Richard J. Krauland,...
Letter to the editor: Refuse ads that spread misinformation
I am very disappointed with the Tribune-Review. In the April 22 edition, there was a full-page advertisement “Global Warming Hoax?” I believe this advertisement is spreading false information and the Tribune-Review sold out to make money. I would like to see this company and others refuse paid advertisements that help...
Letter to the editor: Traitorous actions
If someone in our government did what our enemies would like to do to us, wouldn’t they be traitors (and nuts)? Let in illegal aliens and spread them all around the country without vetting them or remembering where they went. Make the Border Patrol do anything but their job (e.g.,...
Letter to the editor: Attack on our elections
At the state and local level, there seems to be a full-scale attack on how our elections are administered, as politicians push policies intentionally designed to make it harder to vote, especially for Black and brown voters. Westmoreland County’s Republican commissioners recently voted to eliminate regional drop boxes for mail-in...
Letter to the editor: Repeat DUI offenders should be in jail
Regarding the article “Bethel Park man accused of hitting officer with car had 14 prior DUI convictions” (May 9, TribLIVE): This is absolutely insane. This man has 14 DUIs back to the 1970s. And that doesn’t mean he has been out driving only 14 times while under the influence. There...
Letter to the editor: God doesn’t make mistakes
I don’t believe there is such a thing as childhood transsexuality before puberty. Anyone who uses chemical or surgical methods to change a child’s sex should be prosecuted for child abuse and charged as a pedophile. God makes no mistakes. William Bowen Rostraver...
Letter to the editor: Now is time to support tech training
Regarding the article “GOP senatorial candidate Mehmet Oz to tour Central Westmoreland tech center” (May 4, TribLIVE): I’m glad Oz is showing interest in the importance of supporting tech training. Over the past few decades, the emphasis on college has led to an almost complete disappearance of tech job candidates....
Letter to the editor: Paid protesters
It never ceases to amaze me how fast activists can form to protest. I realize that some protesters are paid, and will travel all over to join a protest. Some people may disagree with this statement. However, my late Asperger college graduate grandson, having a challenging time finding a job,...
Letter to the editor: More to the story on Ukraine?
I wish our national liberal media would report more truthfully about what is happening in Ukraine. I find their coverage very one-sided, and I don’t believe them. When two countries war against each other, both tell their citizens that God is on their side. Both believe they have a justifiable...
Letter to the editor: On death penalty, what about the innocent?
Letter-writer Jeanne Snyder (“Can killers be reformed, forgiven?”), responding to the letter “If we respect life, we must end death penalty,” is correct in describing murder as barbaric. If there was any evidence that the death penalty would somehow solve this problem, that would be wishful thinking at best. Maybe...
Letter to the editor: New rules for women
BREAKING NEWS: Leaked emails from the Supreme Court have revealed the following draft: Individuals containing a uterus will now be referred to solely as “birthing vessels.” Also, since the Constitution doesn’t mention “women’s rights,” they technically don’t have any, so we had to refer to the Bible. Specifically, Leviticus 15:19-33:...
Letter to the editor: Are we a totalitarian state?
Are we still living in the United States of America, or have President Biden’s progressives converted our country into a totalitarian state? So, we need not think or draw our own conclusions about matters that fall under the authority of the Disinformation Governance Board (aka the Ministry of Truth). How...
Letter to the editor: Keep money in Hempfield
In response to the article “New housing development approved in Hempfield” (May 1, TribLIVE): While it is true that Hempfield is approving a record number of housing developments, it is also true that there aren’t a large number of houses selling. This could be because we are bringing in outside...
Letter to the editor: Help the bullied by teaching children well
I was moved by Lori Falce’s column “What I needed when I was bullied” (May 6, TribLIVE). She needed adults to step in and stop the bullies. Is it that adults don’t know how to stop them? (Kids just have a pecking order.) Or did the adults think that some...
Letter to the editor: Don’t believe the Biden sales pitch
I continue to see intermittent “advertising” pitches touting how well President Biden’s economic plan is working for us Pennsylvanians. If achieving near record inflation for all goods and services, rising interest rates on personal debt, and a lower and weaker financial market is the plan, it’s working. Well, as a...
Letter to the editor: Combating burnout in health care workers
Regarding the article “Survey: 93% of Pittsburgh hospital workers are thinking about leaving profession” (April 25, TribLIVE): The pandemic has exposed many vulnerabilities within health care, one most significantly being the reluctance to improve the circumstances in which the health care workers practice. Sadly, often the misconception is that health...
Letter to the editor: Losing our rights means losing our freedom
On April 8, 2021, President Joseph R. Biden Jr., during his news conference regarding gun violence, proclaimed that “no amendment to the Constitution is absolute,” and remarked that gun violence is a public health issue. Earlier this year, Biden proposed $5 billion in funding for the Department of Justice and...
