Letter to the editor: Trump’s appeal continues to grow
After watching President Trump’s March 2 rally on Newsmax, my hopes became considerably higher that he will be the Republican nominee for president and win the presidency in November. The more the print and mainstream media attempt to hurt and destroy this man, the stronger his appeal becomes to voters....
Letter to the editor: God loves us all but hates sin
Some readers will recall the Super Bowl commercial paid for by the He Gets Us organization, where vignettes of foot washing included a scene in front of a family planning clinic. Other commercials by the group espouse a more liberal view of migrants who face persecution and may cross national...
Letter to the editor: Generosity in the Alle-Kiski community
The Feb. 25 spaghetti dinner fundraising event held at the Natrona Heights VFW in support of injured EMT Kelly Jackson was a testament to the way in which the Alle-Kiski community responds to need. The event was spearheaded by Lori Miller, president of the Hilltop Hose VFD Auxiliary, who garnered...
Letter to the editor: God help us, because Biden won’t
So President Biden says give me the power and I’ll close the border. Flashback — on day one I guess that magic pen just wrote the executive order to practically open the border all by itself, plus cancel Title 42 and sell the remaining border wall (that we paid for)...
Letter to the editor: Facts and opinions
Regarding the letter “A nation in denial” (Feb. 27, TribLive): I see how the writer sees his nation is in denial. There are sources that give us pseudo-facts and, in my opinion, are a detriment to this nation. Let’s see … Joe Biden is old and forgetful. OK, how about...
Letter to the editor: Trump deserves jail time
As a Tribune-Reviewer, I was surprised that the writer of the letter (“Quit drinking the Trump Kool-Aid,” Feb. 19, TribLive) decided to use some of my favorite issues. I can see why Taylor Swift’s fans unite ; that is a positive place. On the other hand, throughout Donald Trump’s reign,...
Letter to the editor: Cyber charter money, accountability
Your editorial “The fight over cyber charter money” (Feb. 20, TribLive) wrongly implies public cyber charter schools receive the same per-pupil funding. In Pennsylvania, only 75% of a family’s tax dollars follows a student to their cyber. When you do the math, that means Pennsylvania’s 500 school districts get to...
Letter to the editor: Vote out radical leftists
I believe the radical left (new Democratic Party) has been trying to destroy our nation as established by the Founding Fathers for decades now, accelerating their efforts beginning in 2008 with the Obama/Biden administration and continuing today with the Biden/Harris administration. In my opinion, they have incorporated a decades-old Marxist/communist...
Letter to the editor: Biden must address income inequality
Income and wealth inequality is at its highest point since the Great Depression, and we all know how that turned out. Adjusted for inflation, the average worker in America made roughly $43 a week less in 2023 than they made 50 years ago, all the while becoming dramatically more productive....
Letter to the editor: Antisemitism is unacceptable
Allegheny County Council should refrain from introducing a resolution that will likely exacerbate divisions within our community and compromise our safety. As council members consider whether or not to bring a cease-fire resolution for a vote (“Pro-Palestine activists call on Allegheny County Council to pass cease-fire resolution in Israel/Hamas war,”...
Letter to the editor: Incmikoski’s absence a loss for Pirates fans
I was watching a recent Pirates spring training game against Baltimore, and the broadcast was not the same without sideline reporter Robby Incmikoski. I’m not in the broadcasting business but I know what I like. SportsNet Pittsburgh terminated one of the best interviewers Pittsburgh sports has seen in a long...
Letter to the editor: Some ‘settlements’ are OK with Biden
Israel recently announced it plans to build thousands of houses for Jewish settlers in the West Bank. According to Joe Biden’s mouthpiece, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the proposal will face “firm opposition” from the United States. He went on to say, “In our judgment, this weakens, it doesn’t strengthen,...
Letter to the editor: How is immigration inaction Dems’ fault?
On the radio, I heard a report of interviews with potential voters who listed border security/immigration as a major concern. They blamed the Democrats for not dealing with the problems and so felt led to support Republican candidates. On the other hand, Joseph Sabino Mistick’s column ”Mike Johnson won’t be...
Letter to the editor: Jill Cooper a strong fighter for people
We are lucky to have a state representative in District 55 who outworks, outcommunicates and outperforms other representatives. I am talking about Jill Cooper. Cooper has spent an incredible number of hours making sure she interacts with every segment of her district. She has held events with veterans, seniors, students,...
Letter to the editor: Christians take care of others
I was stunned to see Joe Heller’s disparaging, presumptuous, misguided cartoon on Feb. 24. The Trib should apologize to its many Christian readers. If a Jewish, Black or Native American organization had run an awareness commercial, such a cartoon would be labeled antisemitic or racist. But disparaging Christians as uncaring?...
Letter to the editor: Abortion clinics should be held to same standards as surgical facilities
The writer of the letter “Backward steps on abortion” (Feb. 19, TribLive) fails to tell you that abortion businesses are just that. They sell abortion procedures. Abortion is an invasive procedure that is neither as simple nor as safe as some advocates of abortion would have the public believe. If...
Letter to the editor: Universal basic income a beacon of hope
As I grapple with UPS’s astounding $200 billion gross profit over the last three years, my heart aches for the human cost. The wave of automation sweeping through UPS and beyond threatens the livelihoods of hard-working individuals across industries. Facts and figures paint a dire picture: 1 in 6 American...
Letter to the editor: Dangers of theocratic government
The recent ruling by the Alabama Supreme Court that frozen embryos are children (“Bible-quoting Alabama chief justice sparks church-state debate in embryo ruling,” Feb. 23, TribLive) points out the dangers of a theocratic government that the Founding Fathers feared. The statement of the chief justice, an associate of Q-Anon fanatics,...
Letter to the editor: Start here to improve our current situation
As I have said before, the first thing we need to demand is term limits on all political offices. Another suggestion is all people running for office must provide a list of current concerns and how they would vote. Those running for reelection must provide the same list and how...
Letter to the editor: We must aid Ukraine now to avoid WWIII
Make no mistake about it: If we don’t help Ukraine now and Putin wins — and Ukraine falls — Poland is next on his hit list. Poland is a NATO country, and we are sworn to protect it. But since Donald Trump seems to be buddy-buddy with Putin, I believe...
Sounding off: Border, abortion, student loan debt among week’s topics
Johnson right to stop immigration bill Joseph Sabino Mistick is wrong to blame House Speaker Mike Johnson for putting the brakes on the immigration and border security bill that is tied to Ukraine funding (“Mike Johnson won’t be remembered as one of the greats,” Feb. 17, TribLive). Since taking office...
Letter to the editor: Biden, Harris unfit to serve
In the three long years of the Biden-Harris administration, I believe America has experienced the greatest failure of governance in its history. President Biden destroyed U.S. border security by issuing executive orders reversing policies President Trump had put in place that reduced illegal immigration to its lowest level since the...
Letter to the editor: Trump, fear and intolerance
As the most depressing presidential election in my lifetime nears, I have a few thoughts I’d like to share. Never have I seen a candidate not only not try to unite America, but actually tell his base that anyone who is not MAGA is an “enemy of the state.” If...
Letter to the editor: Let the babies grow up and make their own abortion decisions
I would like to respond to the letter “Backward steps on abortion” (Feb. 19, TribLive): I think we could all agree on this issue if we would allow the unwanted babies to reach the age of 18 and then let them decide if they want to be aborted or not....
Letter to the editor: Clean air, water a right, not a ‘preference’
We are told by the gas industry that they want to be good neighbors. But what they say behind closed doors about us is different. Take Apex Energy’s letter to the Department of Environmental Protection late last year. Apex operates fracking wells in Westmoreland County. When my neighbors and I...
