Give Trump time to do the job
To the Editor:
When Bill Clinton was President, we had a balanced federal budget. Now we have trillions of dollars in deficit spending. We have a serious spending problem. Let the President complete his job. If he fails, you can vote Democrat in 2028.
Congress needs to do its job
To the Editor:
I did not vote for Elon Musk, and I am pretty sure that no one else did either as he was not on any ballot. Then, why is this man able to disrupt and make changes in our governmental system and programs? Sens. Tillis and Budd, and Rep. Edwards, do your jobs!
GOP does not own the Bible
To the Editor:
Trump and his sidekick billionaire know exactly why our Constitution was intentionally designed with three branches of government. The speed with which they look to dismantle our checks and balances is proof that they look to install a government like Victor Orbàn has done in Hungary.
Kindness is a powerful force
To the Editor:
Political leaders are claiming they want to unite Americans. What they suggest is a top-down system which they can take credit for, rescuing millions of people all at one time.
Me thinks they protest too much
To the Editor:
The recent outrage by an ever-increasing number of Democrat talking heads about actions by Elon Musk and DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) brings to mind a play by William Shakespeare.
Big Pharma ads are lies
To the Editor:
Lately there have been video ads on YouTube and TV that say “Biden Raided and Broke Medicare,” that Biden raised the price of pills for seniors. This is beyond the scope of “misinformation,” it is a barefaced lie of the absolute worst kind.
Wake up before it’s too late
To the Editor:
I made granola today. I know that doesn’t sound like news, or even worth a letter to the editor. But it’s pretty significant for me because my anxiety has been so high, that I haven’t been able to do the everyday things I should be doing — like making the granola I’ve been out of for the last two weeks.
Watch your bank account
To the Editor:
Trump and his puppet master Elon Musk are killing our economy that was recovering better than any other major nation after the terrible worldwide COVID experience, an economy with bipartisan infrastructure investments that were good for working people and poised to take off in a measured and secure way with inflation down and jobs up.
Thank God for Trump, Vance
To the Editor:
I voted for Donald Trump. I voted for J.D. Vance. I am deeply grateful for them, the wise decisions they are making and the excellent staff they have assembled. Thank God that we dodged a bullet and their outrageous, ridiculous opponents were not elected!

Grab the lifejackets and the suntan oil
To the Editor:
This just in! President Trump is recommending everyone in WNC be moved out to somewhere else (maybe Gaza?) until the white horses can come to our rescue and fix this place.
