Protests, anti-science editorials, viral conspiracy theories, cartoons and serial tweeting will not change the “will” of the COVID-19 virus.
This has been the most damaging lie our president has told and thousands are dying. President Trump was indeed warned about COVID-19 and chose to ignore it. In typical Trump fashion, he said i…
There have been many letters to the editor recently advocating opening up the economy, no matter what the cost.

It is sad to see what is happening in America. Have the people forgotten the sacrifices made by past generations? Have they taken freedom for granted?
With National Nurses Week celebrated May 6-12 this year, there is no better time to honor and thank those nurses on the front lines protecting our health and safety amid the global coronavirus…
After reading the editorial in the April 28 edition of The Era from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, titled “Conflicting messages on masks,” I had to comment on this subject.
State Sen. Joe Scarnati is right. Some counties like McKean, Warren, Forest, Elk and Potter, which have single-digit or low double-digit cases of coronavirus, should not be treated like Philad…
We need a some painless conversation about spacial distancing in the “clamp” — or is it “stomp”? — down of the personal right to exercise common sense? Wasn’t it Thomas Paine who noted the nee…
Remember the Second Amendment when it is time to vote. There are factions in and out of our government that want to take it away from us. If they are successful on that you can bet our First A…
Recently, when I mentioned the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, it was surprising how many didn't know what it was.

Regarding Amy Mallison-Austin’s letter to the editor in the Nov. 21 edition, how fast we forget the history lessons of high school on the U.S. Constitution. I’ve been confused by the misrepres…
In response to Dee Baxter’s letter in the Nov. 26 edition, what in God’s name are the liberal Democrats really whining about with President Trump? They need to grow up and learn from the “depl…
How can they justify the cost of a new facility for the YWCA, to the tune of $3 million? The number one cost overrun could be paying the prevailing wage for labor.
How many people watched the impeachment hearing? I watched on and off.
Readers may already know that Donald Trump Jr.’s book is out — “Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us.” Really? Who is more hateful than Donald Trump with his degradi…
