      Letter: AIPAC lost its way

      • Paul Simon, Northwest side

      As an American Jew I call shame on AIPAC for doing Trump's bidding by mixing into the Kentucky Congressional Race to support Trump's endorsed candidate by pouring millions of dollars into a negative advertisement campaign against the incumbent Thomas Massie. Why? Because Massie had the chutz…

      Letter: The continuation of Epstein files episode #56

      • Terry Louck, East side

      The fact that Thomas Massie, a hard right conservative who feels that lynching Negoes is not a hate crime, lost a Republican primary only because he wanted pedophiles to face justice tells you everything about what the Republican party has become. The man just wasn't cruel or corrupt enough …

      Letter: Government redress

      Letter: Government redress

      • Richard Rebl, East side

      In as much as President Trump believes the January 6th “patriots” suffered unfair criminalization and incarceration, the DOJ has made 1,776 billion dollars available to correct this injustice after they received a pardon for their actions. Since this fund is open to anyone, I would respectfu…

        Letter: Happy 250th Birthday, Trumplandia!

          Only in Trump's America can the President urge his followers to violently attack the Congress, threaten elected representatives with death, and violently attack and cause the death of police officers in order to try to overthrow a legal election, then pardon the violent, treasonous henchmen,…

          Letter: Hoping candidates will reconsider criticizing moderate

            I was surprised to read that, in a state like ours, which is still purple and swingy, that LD 20 Democratic candidates in their recent debate criticized Gov. Katie Hobbs for being "too moderate." I respect their stances, but I just want to review the facts. The same month that the current fe…

                  Letter: Notes on the passing scene

                    A couple of comments on the passing scene: in the last week, two writers have promoted democratic socialism by asserting that the happiest countries are Scandinavian socialist countries. This is, however, not true. Scandinavian countries are not socialist. They are capitalist welfare states …

                      Local opinion: A dismissive editorial peers through rose-colored glasses

                      The Herald has missed its mark in offering us reassurance of the court’s stability and the strength of democracy. And when it values confidence over honest scrutiny, its words ring hollow.

                      Back in 1969, President Richard Nixon warned Congress against the rapid growth of the American population: "When future generations evaluate the record of our time, one of the most important factors in their judgment will be the way in which we responded to population growth."
