Solutions not accusations

EDITOR: Mr. Olson’s claims against Mr. Robert Reich are yet another example of GOP hysteria. The Democratic Party already has fought for regulations against big businesses for a reason. If left unchecked we have seen what these companies will do, unsafe work conditions, unchecked pollution, intimidating peaceful strikes with violence. I get a kick of the black lives matter movement being attacked by the GOP. There completely fine with the thousands of rabid Trump followers most of whom were white who defied the White House and threatened to hang our congressmen and women and even ...

The Ninjas have spoken

EDITOR: The Ninjas have spoken. The Ninjas have spoken. Trump lost the 2020 Arizona election. In their calcualtions, the Ninjas found that Trump lost by more votes than originally reported! How can this be? It’s hoaxful. It’s time to call the Great Orange One in Florida and demand that he send the Super Ninja’s to Arizona to audit the audit of the mini-ninjas. S.K. Godin Gladstone

Do not sign this petition

EDITOR: I have not written a letter-to-the-editor in a number of years, but I felt that I needed to comment about the misleading September 28th article on the popular vote ballot drive that the Democratic Party is pushing under the guise of Saul Anuzis and Mark Brewer’s rosy rendition of how good it will be for Michigan. Our Founding Fathers, who were much smarter than either Mr. Anuzis and Mr. Brewer chose the electoral college to protect the voting rights of the smaller states. That was one of the main obstacles to having all thirteen colonies ratify” The Constitution of the ...

Congress must build back better for kids

EDITOR: Today, 1 in 6 children in Michigan may face hunger in the wake of the COVID pandemic. But Congressional action during this crisis has significantly blunted hardship and hunger for many families. Soon that may change. Without action from Congress, new and enhanced policies that are helping to feed more kids than ever before will expire. Through the Build Back Better plan, Congress must make the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer program, or Summer EBT, available nationwide. It helps get more food to kids in need when schools are out of session by helping parents buy ...

Robert’s rules and regulations

EDITOR: Liberal columnist Robert Reich wrote how the GOP used to favor and legislate for less government, but how today they favor more laws that do not reveal the ‘less government’ story. He sees their ‘government intrusion’ everywhere. Like....laws limiting abortion (saving lives), laws restricting mask usage by kids — so debatable still, laws limiting the teaching of backward Critical Race Theory and glorifying Black Lives Matter skullduggery. Legislation forbidding transgenders from participating at an advantage in opposite sex sports and their desire to use whichever ...
