The defining moment of the 2024 presidential campaign, it can be argued, came almost exactly two years ago, on Sunday, Oct. 20, when then-former President Donald Trump traded his suit coat for a yellow apron and worked the fry station and the drive-thru window at a McDonald's. His staff ...
To the Journal editor: Lowest approval ratings yet on 84% of voters’ #1 issues: Economy and costs of living (Pew). People nationwide blame these on Trump’s tariffs and bad Domestic Policies. (Pew Research Center Oct. 8): Only 30% approve of Trump, 68% disapprove. Reuters/Ipsos (Oct. 5–6, 2026): Only 32% approve. This is after 22 months of total Republican majority control. Republicans voted him in and enabled his bad actions. Nobody can blame Joe, Obama or Hillary now. What else? Thirty-one percent of his own 2024 voters now disapprove of his foreign policy, Iran war, “job ...
To the Journal editor: Remember, the Republicans running in this election back Trump. Trump just entered into an agreement with Russia to buy Russian diesel. By doing this, it gives Russia much needed revenue to fight Ukraine. If you ever doubted Trump and his Republican Party support Ukraine, I hope this is an eye opener. In my opinion, Trump supports Russia and seems to believe Russia was justified when it invaded Ukraine.
To the Journal editor: As an only once-born agnostic atheist, I thank God for legalized abortion in Michigan. I also thank God for the caring caregivers of Planned Parenthood, like physician's assistant Anna Aho Rink. The writer of the Oct. 7 editorial from Eben Junction (Ebeneezer) apparently believes Planned Parenthood workers are not caregivers, but rather are baby murderers working for an abortion factory. In my opinion, Ebeneezer cares only for the baby. If the mother dies, so what? Ebeneezer mistakenly chooses to believe death of mom and fetus is her God's will. Planned ...
To the Journal editor: A previous letter to the editor that I wrote two years ago dealt, in large part, with Russian President Putin and his relationship with our president. My comments then, and now, are based on 22 years that I served as a U.S. Army intelligence officer of which 17 years were assignments directly related to Russian activities. Putin has clearly stated that our democratic way of life and our alliances with other democracies is a threat to Russia and to his own authoritarian control. He has done, and will continue to do, anything to undermine our society and our way ...
To the Journal editor: My wife, Valentyna, is a Ukrainian native. She knows firsthand the suffering of the Ukrainian people as they fight for the same freedoms Americans fought for in 1776 from another foreign tyrant. Valentyna's sister and niece live in occupied Ukraine. So, President Trump's latest announcement that he had made a deal with Putin, an enemy of our country, to purchase diesel fuel was a personal insult. How is it possible that Trump could do this? It was only a few weeks ago that he signed bipartisan legislation, named to honor Lindsey Graham, that sanctions countries ...
