Editor: Congratulations to Thadeus Greenson, Jennifer Fumiko Cahill and Kimberly Wear on an outstanding opinion piece (“The Real Cost of Eggs,” May 1). In concise and clear detail, they list the disastrous effects of Trump’s first 100 days. It should be required reading for every MAGA cult member. Bill Morris, Eureka Related Stories

Editor: Once again, Jennifer Fumiko Cahill hit the Oh My God column with her “Options for my New Email Auto Reply Message” (May 8). Jennifer’s writing is wonderful and this column keeps adding to her wonderful collection. She is sharp and funny and she always puts it all together in a fun read. And I […]

Editor: I write in reply to last week’s rather myopic letter concerning immigration (Mailbox, May 8). This letter, “Wailing and Gnashing,” expresses the standard dog whistles concerning former President Biden’s immigration policies. Those educated on the topic know this is a long standing problem contributed to by both major parties in power. It is an […]

Editor: Recently, a report circulated indicating Amazon might separately state the tariff charge on items sold. In response, the Trump administration’s press secretary disparaged Amazon, saying Amazon was motivated by Chinese propagandists and such actions would be “hostile and political” (“The Real Cost of Eggs,” May 1). In reality, Amazon had only considered this for […]

Editor: The wailing and gnashing of teeth continues with last week’s “The Real Cost of Eggs” Editorial. Keep in mind that the person most responsible for President Trump’s election is the senile Joseph R. Biden and the servient legacy media in America.  President Trump has accomplished his signature No. 1 item. He has closed the […]

Editor: Thank you for the article about the demonstration in Eureka (“‘If Only We’d Done More to Save Her,’” April 24). There are, indeed, lots of things to be concerned about lately. The top of my list is habeas corpus. Per the American Heritage Dictionary: “A writ to bring a person before a court or a judge, most frequently used […]

Editor: I attended the April 5 rally at the courthouse. I saw you there doing your journalistic duty — while I was there doing my civic duty (NCJ Daily, April 10). Although I was glad to do my part protesting the fascist, misogynist, racist, mean, greedy, grifting, narcissistic, adolescent people running this country, I was […]

Editor: Many commentators have suggested that Trump is or may become another Hitler, but I find the comparison strained (NCJ Daily, April 10). Yes, they’re both men of mediocre intellect with a noxious “charisma” that convinced large numbers of voters to support their quests for dictatorial power, but is it fair to say they’re the same just […]

Editor: Humboldt County is aging more rapidly than the U.S., which itself is steadily growing older. Apart from statistics, it’s obvious that there are a lot of us seniors around here. It follows then that we need a lot of medications. Most of them are imported. For instance, 80 percent of our antibiotics are imported from China. U.S. pharmaceutical […]

Editor: In late 2023, candidate Trump said he would be a dictator, but only for one day. Now after 80 days, President Trump’s behavior is still autocratic (NCJ Daily, April 10). Executive orders (EOs) give presidents authority to act within their purview if the actions don’t conflict with the U.S. Constitution. Trump signed 26 EOs […]

Editor: Since the tyrannical Trump regime is internationally infamous for creating truly insane public policies (specifically in this situation, foreign policy) based upon isolated incidents where an American citizen was killed by an undocumented immigrant from another country (usually Mexico), wouldn’t a turnabout by Mexico’s government be fair play? Of course it would. Mexico should […]

Editor: Our leftist Congressmember Huffman had his town hall in Eureka on Sunday (“The Peril of this Moment,” April 3). His TDS (Trump derangement syndrome) was on full display: Trump, Trump, Trump is all he wanted to talk about. He described President Trump as a dictator and authoritarian. He added his disdain for the billionaire […]
