Letter To The Editor

Mr. Vinson, You say that my generation and the one before are looking for a country that controls us? Do you think that America in your youth didn’t control you? It did, you just didn’t realize it because you were brainwashed by a capitalist country, a democracy, with only a radio to tell you the…

Amendment 3 All Missourians should know that if Amendment 3 is NOT passed, Kansas City and St. Louis districts will be revised to include part of the rural districts and most of Kansas City and St. Louis does not vote as rural areas do. District 8 will not be the same, and that is not…

One of the often-used techniques of corrupt politicians and their lackeys is to accuse their opponent of the very crimes and immoral behavior of which they themselves are guilty. This has been seen several times recently in the editorial page of this paper. Allegations have been made in a diarrheal diatribe of deceptions, distortions, and…

This is to the next two generations. The people 50 years old and their children. You have never enjoyed real freedom. For all your life, you have been told there are two Americas. One rich and the other poor. That is not true. You can be whatever you want to be. Here are a few…

I am not going to talk about Trump. Everybody else is. I am going to remember what has happened while Biden was on the government payroll. You see Joe Biden and me are the same age. As you get older, your mind and body begin to slow down. It reacts slower than younger people.  They…

In the Letter to the Editor from Mr. Meyer on October 8th, it is my opinion that he should practice what he preaches. He said, “Quit telling lies and bending the truth just to achieve your political goals. Be honest with yourselves and quit following others who are not trying to unite us.” He then…

The new history books are out in school. Maybe the writers weren’t in the same places that some of us were. Here is the way I remember it. There were no reporters where I was at. I was born on a cold January day before WWII. Mom and Dad lived in an old tar paper…

In most cases at least in the United States we were very young when we were groomed by our parents to like a Ford or a Chevrolet. I can remember my dad was a Chevy fan and would brag about the advantage of driving a Chevy over a Ford. Most of my life I have…
