Make Issue Non-Political

Editor, News-Register: As the election approaches, there is an erroneous but widely held opinion that Catholics must vote for Donald Trump because he said, “I am pro-life.” But if Trump were really pro-life, he would not have tried to repeal and continuously undermine the Affordable Care Act. The ACA provides health insurance for women, and although there are no statistics to prove it, it is reasonable to believe that it enabled many women to choose life. Some, including Catholic nuns, have pointed out that many politicians who claim to be pro-life do not care about children once ...

Get a Grip, People

Editor, News-Register: What a world. I’m surprised we don’t see more men and women going to work and to college, toting not only a cellphone and an expensive drink but an emotional support animal as well. It appears today that some groups of people are incapable of dealing with dislikes they see, so they hit the streets and act as if they are superior to others, simply because they want to change and rename everything. Shouldn’t we be focusing on changes that cause positive change that is enjoyed by all? I don’t care for some sports and I especially don’t care for ...

Democrats Changed

Editor, News-Register: Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country Now, what white, Christian, rich conservative racist male said those evil, hateful words” “How dare he! How dare he! How dare he,” suggest that the entitled of his country work for themselves, let alone for the country. My grandparents were loyal Democrats. My parents never voted for a Republican, except Arch Moore. That was because they believed that the Democrats stood for God, country and hard work. But I bet they’re all rolling over in their graves if they knew ...

Not Above the Law

Editor, News-Register: Recently, President Donald J. Trump commuted the prison sentence of his longtime friend, adviser and political consultant, Roger Stone, who was sentenced for his lying under oath to Congress and his witness tampering involvement in order to attempt to conceal his and the president’s knowledge of, participation in, and overt encouragement of Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential campaign of then-candidate Trump. In the investigation headed by Chief Counsel Robert Meuller, it was irrefutably discovered that Mr. Stone had “frequent direction ...

Put on a Mask

Editor, News-Register: Until Covid, I’d always believed that people are innately good, kind, caring and generous. I’m being disavowed of this belief by the behavior of people during the pandemic. It’s astounding how many people won’t wear masks. They’re incredibly selfish. It’s all about them. They don’t care about another human being. I’m not shy about confronting non-mask wearers. Some encounters have gotten ugly. I’ve heard all of their lame excuses. They complain that masks make them hot, or sweaty, or steam up their glasses. Well, guess what? Me ...

It’s All Propaganda

Editor, News-Register: If you have watched Trump’s press conferences, you might have noticed Trump is very kind to the One America News Network reporter. One America News Network was started by multi-millionaire Robert Herring in 2013 after Mr. Herring got his third wife in Russia. Herring dictates what news is reported on OANN and insists on stories that are pro-Trump and pro-Russia and won’t allow reporting of news stories that are critical of Trump. I learned of this network from a family member who is a Trump supporter. This person is elderly and lives in a rural ...
