Letters + Opinion

Editor: Although I decry the Mailbox’s recent descent into yet another platform for diatribes on national politics, I feel compelled to respond to Dennis Scales’ latest nonsense (May 8). First, any linkage between the high cost of eggs and dark-skinned immigrants is misguided. On balance, immigrants, even undocumented ones, contribute greatly to our economy, as Mr. Scales […]

Editor: I would holler all over the country to let people know the brilliance of Kathryn Donahue’s letter last week (Mailbox, May 15)! Never before have I read such a great, cohesive, intelligent explanation of the ingrained racism in the United States. Education is the only remedy for ignorance. Our country and government are full […]

‘Apologies to John Fogerty’ Editor: “Long in late November his reign was comin’ down. It seemed to catch us snorin’; how would we stop this clown? We knew there’d be phases and things that should be done. Yet I wonder, still I wonder who’ll stop his reign? “He stormed up Virginia seekin’ changes to the […]

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 […]
