Editor: In June of 1984, President Reagan said the following during a ceremony at Pointe Du Hoc France commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Normandy invasion: “We in America have learned bitter lessons from two World Wars: It is better to be here, ready to protect the peace, than to take blind shelter across the […]

Editor: The endless wailing and gnashing of teeth in the Democrat media, including the North Coast Journal, regarding President Trump and his administration needs some important facts presented to the American people (NCJ Daily, March 6). The federal government has a $36 trillion national debt. That debt is financed with bond sales requiring interest to […]

Editor: Riddle me this. Why is DOGE causing loss of jobs and services such a tremendous concern for California politicians, while PERS causing loss of jobs and services is not a huge concern (NCJ Daily, March 6)? Congressmember Jared Huffman talks of how government exists to serve the people and how DOGE is slashing staff […]

Editor: The current debacle launched by the fake “mandate” of the current White House occupant has given us an insane tariff war, destruction of USAID and multiple other agencies (NCJ Daily, March 6), illegal firing of government employees (“It’s Just Chaos,” Feb. 27) and failure to address any substantive problems facing the nation. It is […]

Editor: Regarding “Sleazy Move” (Mailbox, March 13), the editor wrote, “On the subject of McCullough’s credentials, it should be noted that the American Board of Internal Medicine recently revoked his board certifications in cardiovascular disease and internal medicine after determining he was providing false or inaccurate medical information to the public.” Let me add my […]

Editor: What a sleazy move, NCJ! When I read my letter, as you printed it, (Mailbox, Feb. 27), I noticed that the editor removed an important piece of information. I recommended the book: The Courage to Face COVID-19: preventing hospitalization and death while battling the bio-pharmaceutical complex by Peter McCullough MD, MPH and John Leake. However, […]

Editor: The ever informative Barry Evans described last week the threat from the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC (“AMOC and the Inevitable Climate Threat,” Feb. 20). It is only one of a number of climate tipping points, but it is likely to be highly consequential (or even “devastating”) for the United States […]

Editor: Believe it or not, I also have an opinion on how Measure O funds should be used, but my opinion is somewhat different from Chad Sefcik’s (Mailbox, Feb. 27). One bus tears up our roads much less than 20 trucks, SUVs or heavy cars. One bus provides less traffic congestion. So, my opinion is […]

Editor: Congratulations to NCJ news editor Thadeus Greenson on his Humboldt Journalism Project award for investigative journalism. Thadeus isn’t good by Humboldt standards, he’s just plain good.  John Dillon, Eureka

Editor: After watching the debacle at the White House, I have never been so ashamed of my government in all my 89 years! Two bullies, President Trump and Vice President Vance, attacking a visiting head of state at a press conference. Dictator Putin invaded a sovereign nation not once but twice. Putin should have no […]

Editor: I am disappointed in our education system that has let this person down so badly (Mailbox, Feb. 27). If we cannot trust our scientists and medics who have spent their lives learning, thinking and developing proven therapies for human ailments, then we can trust no one. Yet there are some who may have never […]

Editor: Regarding Thadeus Greenson’s coverage of the St. Joseph abortion case (“Judge Takes St. Joseph Abortion Case Under Submission,” Feb. 20), it seems to me that it is a mistake to call a hospital a “religious hospital” unless it is dispensing religion. Any physician feeling his or her soul is endangered could call in another […]
