I was angered and offended by another anti-Trump propaganda AP article, this one titled “Antisemitic celebrities stoke fears of normalizing hate” (Dec. 4, TribLIVE). This article attributed a “surge in anti-Jewish vitriol” by citing Donald Trump hosting Kanye West and Nick Fuentes. Where is the real antisemitism being harbored in...

In reference to the editorial “Financial literacy is key to student debt crisis” (Dec. 8, TribLIVE): I believe those of us who grew up in the low- divorce 1970s and ’80s toxic male environment of watching Westerns were more self-reliant and possessed a better work ethic. Of course, today, with math...

A preacher I saw on TV said human-caused climate change is a hoax used as a ploy by globalists to redistribute wealth. Globalists want no rich countries, no poor countries, no borders. They want everyone to be the same. They think that will prevent future wars. David Rockefeller was an...

M. Lou Harrison, your letter “Remember these things about Trump” (Oct. 31, TribLIVE) was a perfect fit for the current political environment, where, given the choice between a brain surgeon and a lame brain, the latter is chosen. While you cited my letter “Before voting, ask yourself if you’re happy...

As an animal advocate concerned about public safety, I am thrilled that the Big Cat Public Safety Act finally passed through both chambers and is headed to President Joe Biden’s desk. This no-brainer legislation restricts private ownership of big cats like lions and tigers. It also makes it illegal for...

Regarding the letter “How about a GI Bill to help with student debt?” (Dec. 11, TribLIVE): First of all, I’m not too sure these people owing student debt would actually be a welcomed addition to the military. They already exhibited a lack of responsibility and more than likely wouldn’t make...

The far right often talks about the supremacy of freedom and liberty. America is the land of the free and the home of the brave. However, their actions have consequences that diminish the freedom of some. In Georgia, vigilante supporters have targeted election workers with death threats and physical intimidation....

So President Biden plans on giving America a nice Christmas present by canceling Title 42 and allowing thousands more immigrants to march right on over our useless borders. This after making deals with the devil of Venezuela to allow Chevron to pump their dirty oil and ship it here in...

Well, President Biden, I really don’t care whether you go to the border or not. But I do care that you finally do your sworn duty to stop the chaos of illegals swarming through our borders, slow the record fentanyl coming into our country and stop the human trafficking by...

Regarding Bob Jacobs’ letter “One-side sources leave people ignorant” (Dec. 9, TribLIVE), accusing other letter-writers of “misinformation and ignorance”: 1. Perhaps Republicans “campaigned” on energy independence to bring down gas prices, but they have no concrete proposals on how to do that. And at their first press conference outlining their...

An electric car appears cleaner and greener today, but it will not help the environment for years to come. All renewable energy produced is used. Your electric utility must, by law, buy all renewable energy. Any increase in demand (your car or new electric stove) will be met by conventional...

How could people who call themselves “Americans” vote for an ex-president who refuses to admit that he lost the last election and calls for the termination of all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution? You can’t vote for him. How can he run for president if...

The Supreme Court decision on abortion is what caused the Republicans not to get the votes they should have gotten. More chances that someone will have an unwanted pregnancy than get attacked on a subway train. The liberals pushed abortion while the conservatives pushed about crime. Abortion won. Clem Zahrobsky...

John T. Watson had an interesting take on elections in his letter “Disenfranchised Pa. counties should secede” (Dec. 6, TribLIVE). He feels that the high-population counties in Pennsylvania such as Allegheny and Philadelphia vote for predominantly Democratic candidates and therefore have an untoward influence on elections. To rectify this problem,...

Leo Nagorski’s letter “Republicans have nothing to offer” (Nov. 26, TribLIVE) in response to my letter “Biden will take blame for destruction” (Nov. 10, TribLIVE) is rife with left-wing talking points and short on facts. Nagorski claims Republicans brought discriminatory voting laws, anti-LGBTQ laws and laws preventing many people of...

Why is Mark Madden so negative about the Pens, Pirates and especially the Steelers? He knows damn well the Steelers are rebuilding and are transitioning. They are getting better! Stop being a grinch and look for positives! Jeffrey Zabroski Glassport...

Klaus Schwab, German engineer and economist, founded the World Economic Forum on Jan. 24, 1971. The WEF is an unaccountable, non-governmental organization with a view of impacting policy decisions on behalf of its members: predominantly multinational corporations and politicians. The WEF is the driving force for what is known as...

Ed Davis’ letter “Biden will take blame for destruction” (Nov. 10, TribLIVE) is pathetic. He writes, “I have never witnessed this country more divided. … This division was planned, and implementation began during the Obama/Biden administration.” He must be joking. Obama guided our nation through the trillion-dollar real estate meltdown,...

To offer an alternative to Matt Pergar’s letter “How about some tax credits for those without student loans?” (Nov. 1, TribLIVE: Why not offer a G.I. Bill to people with student debt who join the military? For every year served on active duty, forgive one year of student debt — but...

What do Gene Autry and Bing Crosby have in common? Well, you would be correct if you said iconic Christmas songs. Gene Autry made “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” a holiday standard, and what would Christmas be without hearing Bing Crosby singing “White Christmas”? Well, they also both were owners or...

Regarding the article “Non-religious voters wield clout, tilt heavily Democratic” (Dec. 4, TribLIVE): I am a retired nurse who once had the unfortunate privilege of carrying a much too large aborted, macerated baby to the morgue of my hospital. It was really awful. But even having been raised Catholic, I...

As you meal prep this holiday season, please consider incorporating plant-based foods into your holiday menus. Embracing a healthy, plant-based lifestyle promotes health, wellness and environmental awareness while also stimulating discussion around ethics, nutrition and food security. It’s also easy, fun and packed with countless delicious options. This is a...

Dumping negative political ads a smart move I wholeheartedly approve of the Tribune-Review’s recent decision to restrict negative political ads (“Why Trib Total Media is nixing negative political ads,” Nov. 27, TribLIVE). The adjective-laden, hyperbolic diatribes really served no good purpose other than to reduce political discourse to a series...

I would love to see Arnold Palmer Regional Airport, rather than Palmer Airport, on the sign along Route 30. Jon Brady Ligonier...

Whether I agree or not, I appreciate anyone’s right to submit a letter or a rebuttal to a letter in this forum. But the rebuttal from Robert Anderson, “Real reason for hating Trump” (Nov. 1, TribLIVE) to my letter “Past time to dump Trump” (Oct. 4, TribLIVE) missed the mark....
