LETTER TO THE EDITOR
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor, I feel compelled to write especially now as Ukraine was attacked so ruthlessly (last week) and that a madman is in charge of such a huge country where he can drop bombs on innocent people. Concurrently, here in the United States there is a madman who appears to rule over many and by that, I mean people who believe that our voting system has failed and are in denial that Joseph Biden is our true and elected president. 10/15/2022 04:23 PM

Texans urged to get flu shot

YAWN: Tiresome Newspaper Arguments
It’s been more than two years since I received my last paycheck from a newspaper company.

During National Newspaper Week, consider the following collection of statements that numb the mind, along with a suggestion: When you encounter them, just turn the page, click to the next story, or call timeout to replenish the beverage. Don’t waste your time arguing. 10/15/2022 04:23 PM
