To Representative Meuser

Congressman Meuser, I have never been blessed with children of my own so I share with you the writings of an American mother as she reflects on the death of 165 children killed on February 28, 2026. They died as a result of a bomb that was delivered on the school they were attending as part of Operation Epic Fury. “There is an emptiness that follows violence that is not quiet, even when no one is speaking. It has weight, temperature, and it moves through rooms like a slow breeze. It lives in the place where a child should be, in the space beside you on a mat, in the corner where ...

Daylight savings time

It is time to stop the changing of time back and forward and back and forward twice a year. It no longer makes any sense and causes difficulty for people of all ages to adjust to the change. Teachers will attest to the fact that students struggle during the week after the Spring change. We have four months of standard time - one third of the year - and eight months of daylight saving time - two thirds of the year. Now that we’re on daylight saving time, let’s make it permanent. The extra hour of light allows time for activities after work and school and for family ...

Bi-partisan

After reading the March 11 letter “an economic fable” on the current administrations handling of our economy, I’m going to take a wild guess that the writer might be a far left wing Democrat who either never heard the term “bi-partisan” or politically cannot understand its meaning.

Spiraling into chaos

It seems our government is on a self-destruction mission as we accelerate our spiral into chaos! The Legislature and Supreme Court are both more than happy to collect their paychecks while they cede their Constitutional responsibilities to the wannabe king who makes spur-of-the-moment decisions with no interest in what’s best for the country, no planning, and no thoughtful consideration of probable consequences. The cabinet is composed of incompetent lackeys who do not have the skills to fulfill their Constitutional duty to advise the president…they just say “Whatever you say, ...

For the PA deer hunter

Thank you for printing Senator Gene Yaw’s Opinion column, “Protect Pennsylvania’s hunting economy”, in your March 11, 2026 newspaper. Senator Yaw clearly stated the reasons why the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) went the wrong way when it decreed in 2019 the Opening Day of rifle deer season in PA would be the Saturday after Thanksgiving. There was NO hunter input asked for by PGC before this decree changing opening day of rifle deer season. The fallout was worse because many rural community churches, fire halls and local businesses suddenly “Lost” much needed revenue by ...

Read news, not propaganda

When I read letters to the editor telling us of the president’s brilliance, I know what they have been watching, and I know they have not been reading reputable news sources. It is frustrating for the 70% or so of the country to observe so many of our fellow citizens being taken in by the propaganda they are fed daily, and their refusal to read legitimate news. Our economy is in shambles and we are losing our retirement savings, our reputation is destroyed and will never be what it once was, and it will take decades to put our democracy back in order, if that is possible, once this ...
