Letters to the Editor

Forgive

EDITOR: I’m writing today as a member of the Delta County Citizens for Ethical Leadership. We are a bipartisan group working to recall Moyle, Barron, and Petersen. I was very happy to introduce our group at May 2nd’s board meeting. Shortly after that meeting Moyle proceeded to go on social media and call me an “eloquent liar.” He doesn’t believe that any of our conservative members are true Republicans. I’m not going to address that in this letter. I have been thinking about how to respond to his insult and I’ve decided to forgive him. I wasn’t going to but I recently ...

Napolitano column

EDITOR: The Daily Press is buying opinion page articles full of falsehood. The article I’m going to reference to was published April 29th 2023, written by Andrew P. Napolitano, who I believe is a Russian sympathizer if not an agent. I say this, because anyone with a college education would know that these statements he wrote are false, Such as: 1. Biden is fighting an undeclared war against Russia. False. Ukraine is fighting a war against Russia, started by Russia. 2.A war Biden’s military believes is un-winnable. (That’s because we are not fighting a war against ...

Political extortion

EDITOR: As a business man, Donald Trump declared bankruptcy six times. As President, it took him only four years to create 25% of the total debt incurred by the United States during 250 years. Trump’s debt arose from the largest tax cut in history for the wealthiest 1%. Only Lincoln, who financed a civill war, and George W. Bush, who paid for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, had larger debts relative to the size of the U.S. economy. Republicans and Democrats raised the nation’s debt ceiling three times during the Trump administration The national debt is money already spent. It ...

Follow the science

EDITOR: Once upon a time... that’s right following the science has become a fairy tale. Knowing this is an opinion page, obviously, I am going to share my opinion in this article. However, I’d like to start by actually following some science that, I believe, all would agree with. Case in point: Once upon a time smoking was allowed everywhere and in every enclosed space imaginable, including bars, restaurants, and airplanes, virtually everywhere. It is no secret that those who did not smoke hated inhaling/smelling second-hand smoke. Eventually, the science said, “second-hand smoke ...

Enbridge Line 5

EDITOR: After Enbridge has polluted the world’s greatest supply of freshwater and the Great Lakes what are we supposed to drink? Enbridge Canadian oil? Does Enbridge think we all are blind dumb and ignorant and must be bombarded with full-page color ads in the Daily Press is telling their ventures of investing billions in clean energy. If that is true then remove these pipelines from under the Straits of Mackinac in safeguard our drinking water. Trying to prove you are not just worried about your own Canada profits and could care less about the people and God’s country you would be ...

Mass shootings

EDITOR: In recent weeks I have read two letters regarding mass shootings in the Daily Press. The second writer accused the first writer of using NRA propaganda and then she goes on to write her letter using emotion and limited firearm knowledge. First of all according to the justice department long guns are used in 3% of all firearm homicides in the U.S. Of that 3% only a fraction are so called assault weapons. So even if we were able to eliminate all assault type weapons from the U.S. soil the U.S. firearm murder rate would not change. The rest of the letter is full of irrelevant and ...
