Biden inherited inflation, just like Reagan did, Clinton did and Obama did.

I didn’t talk about Trump last time, because the justice system is saying it all. Of course, I do have input.

Mac Warner, Secretary of State, is running for governor. He said the last election in WV was totally without a problem, unlike other Trump-supporting states and supporters. Now that he’s running for governor, he said the FBI and CIA are going to interfere in the next election.

How can anyone who has served or is in the military accept Trump as their commander-in-chief when he said John McCain wasn’t a hero because he was captured in Vietnam and tortured?

There are people who say that I go on too much about Trump and “his” Republicans. Those people are the ones who continually watch Fox News and listen to that squirrel fodder; the guy who said because I’m a Democrat that I hate this country and I’m a communist. Bet he never served in the mili…

It’s official. Trumpism is now defined as a cult. The cult leader, being Trump, is usually a narcissist. Trump has proved this. He wants total control and everyone else to do his bidding. He spreads unreasonable fears about the “outside world” that often involve evil conspiracies and persecutions.

I am a septuagenarian who’s made her home in West Virginia since 1968. I’ve lived through many state Administrations and Legislatures, but this is the first time I’ve been compelled to ask myself of my elected officials, “Who are these people?”

Conservative commentators, like Tucker Carlson and a goofball that took Limbaugh’s place, are talking about preparing for a nuclear war with Russia and China. They’re saying there is a 5, 6, 7% chance of a war, versus a 1% chance by the experts because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and our…

Classified documents. Biden vs. Trump. The story is, documents were found all over the place from the time Biden was a senator. We don’t know what Biden knew or didn’t know about the documents. We all have stored things we forgot about, but Trump knew what he was doing when he took those doc…

Our disabled veterans are grossly undercompensated. The consequences for all of us could be dire.

With a new Congress in session in 2023, I want legislators to listen to the experiences of app-based earners and advocate for bipartisan policies that will maintain gig worker’s flexibility and freedom as they look to the policy priorities ahead.

It’s a new year, but the old news got worse. At this time, we have a House of cards, with the Republican side being fragile. They couldn’t elect a speaker.

I always start writing these letters about a month before they’re printed. Every day it seems I have to rewrite or add to them. I didn’t think more could be said about Donald Trump, but we’ve heard about him hiding classified material and his racism.

Supplemental energy sources, such as solar, wind and hydro cannot run an economy as large as that of the US. Our economy will fail with the singular use of these energy sources that are dirty and costly to manufacture, and dependent on the weather to work.

The West Virginia Constitution, Article VI, §37 states, “No law shall be passed after the election of any public officer, which shall operate to extend the term of his office.”

What ever happened to the day you could vote with confidence and without fear? Most of what I saw was voter intimidation more than negative ads.

The once lively city of Clarksburg is now a ghost town. Drive down Main Street and there’s not a soul on the sidewalks other than homeless, drug-addicted folks.

I write a lot about politics. I don’t like politics and a lot of politicians. The party members are like schoolchildren fighting in a playground, only the children go back inside and learn from their mistakes. The politicians don’t — at least in today’s world.

West Virginia. Are you part of the Northeast? Part of the Midwest? Part of the South? No, no, and no. Don’t want us; too flat, and hell no. We were born of the Civil War for the morally right and winning side.

On Nov. 8, West Virginia voters will decide whether or not to approve Amendment 2, which if approved, will allow the state Legislature to eliminate tangible personal property taxes for businesses, as well as the personal property tax for vehicles, without an agreed upon plan to make up at le…

I have been in business in West Virginia as a wholesale distributor for 26 years, and by calculation in just the last 10 years, I have paid in excess of $800,000 in taxes that I would not pay in most other states.

As a longtime family business owner, I know all too well the delicate balance between protecting what I have and looking for ways to grow.

The majority of West Virginia legislators voted for abortion with some limitations.

Our country is being destroyed from within. We have allowed a Manchurian Candidate to be installed as the inhabitant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The Chinese have bought and paid for Joe Biden!

What would it take for the United States and its people to be united?

What’s that noise? The sky is falling, and it is raining debt on the taxpayers of Harrison County! Who and what caused it — Commissioners Hinkle and Watson and their insistence on building the Courthouse Annex.

The Supreme Court has become the supreme power.

Two topics: Hoarding and learning the truth.

At this writing, there have been numerous mass shootings, but of late, there have been two major mass killings and wounded — one in a supermarket, and the other in an elementary school. Over 30 people, including children, were killed and many were wounded.

ENERGY, the creator of all things, be it coal, oil, gas, nuclear, Norwegian steam, motorization, electrification, vegetation, procreation, will power, hydropower, solar power, it all comes from energy; the sun for solar heat, the wind for air-conditioning, nuclear & fossil fuels for tami…

Abortion seems to be the biggest political issue today. A judgment being made by five people. I’ve heard most of it on TV news but little in the newspapers, defining controversy.

The VA Hospital has had its share of problems, and Manchin, Capito and the media keep bringing up its checkered past, but they can’t be bought out like, perhaps, some other hospitals can.

I’d like to thank the staff of the Robinson Grand and its many volunteers for the wonderful evening of live music provided by (Brady) Seals & (Lua) Crofts 2 on Sunday, March 27.

I am outraged at our government’s refusal to stop Putin — with only sanctions and giving Ukrainians weapons to defend themselves.

I received an email from my friend Kip Price the other day that really upset me. It involves a special World War II veteran from Clarksburg named Paul McCue.

I am writing because of the bad things that have happened at our VA hospital and voice my experience with the many wonderful people that work there.

Transparency. The legislative session is over, for now. There were several bills presented, and a lot passed. I have no idea of bills proposed, passed or failed. There are all kinds of media, but they can’t cover and report every minute of the sessions.

Now some paranoid parents and some politicians want to ban or re-edit books to their liking.

I’m trying to figure out why people are blaming President Biden for not stopping the pandemic like they say he promised to do in his campaign.

I remember well working those hot, summer days there in Clarksburg selling door to door in earning money for college in 1968. I chose to work without a car or bike and found the experience that summer rewarding.

Trump is starting his own media, called “Trump Media & Technology Group,” with a Republican congressman who quit to become CEO for Trump’s media business.

As a Communications Workers of America (CWA) union member and a resident of West Virginia, improving our infrastructure and creating good-paying union jobs in our state is a very important issue for me and many other workers in our state.

Right now, the U.S. Senate is considering the Build Back Better Act, which includes drug pricing provisions that would allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices and other reforms that will meaningfully lower prices for patients like me. I can’t express how much we need this relief.
