Impeachment is bad, but we may have no other choice

Where to begin?

Donald Trump is a national and international embarrassment. He does not know when to shut his mouth. He’s incapable of good judgment, to say nothing of his lack of intelligence, diplomatic skill, reason and sanity.

He insists on insulting our allies, praising our enemies, lying to the public, accusing everyone who does not agree with him of being (fill in the blanks).

And because as a sitting president, he cannot be brought up on charges, he declares that makes him innocent.

Let science guide us on man’s culpability in our changing climate

There is no argument regarding the fact that there is climate change. The historical geological records document that fact. Temperatures have cycled through warming cycles and cooling cycles.

The argument is whether or not the climate is affected by the activities of man. There are scientists who disagree with that argument.

Let us take a rational scientific approach to climate change. Only then can we determine if man caused global warming.

When does it become OK for Don Bolles to fade into history?

Please, please, let Don Bolles rest in peace.

We know the story. Your paper brings it up every year.

We get it, but Don and his family have deserved the right to let this now fade into history.

Before you comment, understand what you are talking about

A letter to from a reader opined that the Mueller report was simply a political effort to get to President Trump. To him and all other conspiracy theorists: Before parroting the inane talking points downloaded from Fox News, take the time to thoroughly read the report and understand the charge of Mr. Mueller as special prosecutor so that your analysis adds something meaningful to the debate.
