Letter to the Editor: When will enough be enough?

Dear Editor,What is it going to take for GOP members/voters to finally realize what is happening to our democracy, what the current administration is doing to the fabric of our country? We are supposed to be the UNITED STATES, not the Blue States or the Red States.

Yarbrough: Not much peaceful about Nobel Peace Prize

Well, one thing you can be sure of is that I am in good company. It looks like I’m not the only one who got hosed by the Nobel Committee. It seems the president of the U.S. of A. was also passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize, even though he said he had stopped eight wars.

It’s just a memory now.And, perhaps I won’t recall it precisely because of the decades that have passed, but I will tell it as best I can.I was what people used to call a “late in life child,” so my siblings were much older.
