Letters to the Editor
Editor, This particular day’s events leaped out at me with total captivation and fascination. I was mesmerized for hours. It began with watching, on Fox News, Donald Trump’s entire over an hour-long speech in D.C. to his followers. It was ranting, raving and filled with total misinformation and was a captivating presentation. The rest is already history. The 25th Amendment to the Constitution states that “If the President becomes unable to do their job, the Vice President becomes the President.” This is designed to be for just a short time and until the reason for the President’s problem is solved. Personally, I cannot think o...
Editor, In their first acts of 2021, Steve Daines and Matt Rosendale signed the list that will forever define those who aided and abetted an attempted coup. Many have described Trump’s supporters in Washington as “thugs” and “goons.” Those terms actually minimi...
Editor, From a most interesting psychological point of view, Donald Trump has attracted many followers by constantly preaching and teaching the worst of human traits. Four of these traits are anger, fear, attack and blaming others. We see in the first trait, anger, a feeling we all ...
Editor, On Nov. 24, 2020 Johanna Clark, a former employee of the then Flathead Joint Board of Control, was sentenced in federal court to prison for one year and a day and subjected to a large fine for embezzling over $200,000 from the FJBC during a three-year period from May 2014 to May 2017. ...
Editor, It was Christmas season and Joey was busy making cards for everyone in his class. His mother was happy to see her little boy so joyful, but she was worried that the other children would not remember to give a card to Joey. You see, Joey was a little slower than the rest of the kids, and he w...
Editor, I miss my late Uncle Bill for many reasons – his kindness, sense of humor, the way he embraced his large, sprawling family, regardless of race, religion or politics. And I’m especially missing his wisdom and common sense these days, when his Grand Old Party is busy tryin...
Editor, On Wednesday, Dec. 2, while working at my computer, I heard a pop and lost power. We called a couple of neighbors and they both had electricity. I then called Mission Valley Power and talked with, if I remember correctly, Josie. She was extraordinarily helpful with a very positive and upl...
Editor, Natural energy starts with the sun rising to create planetary income, and then, plants grow and expend leaves to create planetary spending. Surplus energy is saved within the roots to create planetary savings. The point is that income, spending and savings on a planetary scale, is simp...
Editor, John Meinder wanting store clerks to say “Thanks” to him (Valley Journal, Nov. 11) is hovering around what could be a good idea, but he misses a couple of important points. Why punish the clerk and the business? What about the responsibility of the customer? Here’s another perspe...
Editor, I lost a friend to COVID-19 yesterday. She was young and should have had many more years. Have you lost a friend or family member to COVID-19? Is someone in your family COVID-19 positive? I hope not. It’s a terrible time. If we look back to World War II, people joined together, r...
