Caregiver Rink is godsend

Letters To The Editor

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 ...

Putin not to be trusted

Letters To The Editor

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 ...

Enough is enough, this is personal

Letters To The Editor

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 ...

Republican failure

Letters To The Editor

To the Journal editor: Republicans on our local midterm ballot have all failed to represent our best interests as constituents. Most of the people in the Copper County want excellent affordable healthcare, a robust sustainable economy, high quality education for our children, a strong elite military for defense of our country, the freedom of speech and practice of religion, and an effective government that represents the will of the people. Republicans have delivered on none of these pertinent issues. Instead, they have chosen to blindly give allegiance to a convicted felon (president) ...

Which path taken?

Letters To The Editor

To the Journal editor: The political path before us is clear, with two well-defined choices. On the right, we are told that climate change is a hoax. Billions of tax payer dollars are wasted buying our way out of wind contracts. Green energy subsidies are terminated and environmental regulations are viewed as intrusive, burdensome and costly. For the political right, record oil production and historical profits are not enough, our preserved lands are to be exploited and the sovereignty of lands elsewhere violated. If you choose to go left, however, climate change is taken seriously. ...

America: Privately-owned or employee-owned?

Letters To The Editor

To the Journal editor: I believe in a free-market capitalist democracy powered by the people, based on protecting everyone’s human rights, and not driven by profit/loss statements or winners/losers. Using a business metaphor, this November the American people will decide if our government becomes privately-owned or remains an employee-owned democracy. One person, one statement doesn’t threaten democracy but I took notice of Binance crypto founder Changpeng Zhao’s interview with David Yaffe-Bellany of the New York Times. Zhao stated: “Democracy has been hailed as, like, the ...
