To the editor: As a former Social Studies educator, there are just some things so outrageously ignorant that I can’t ignore them. Case in point, the latest rant of Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene trying to tie the 40 billion dollar aid package to the Ukraine to the shortage of baby formula in this country.…

To the editor: The honorable Alejandro “eyebrows” Mayor has said “President Trump left the southern border in terrible condition! This lie has been told so much even some Iowan’s are believing it! He should have been asked, in the last 14 months what have you done to improve it? A lie told enough is sometimes…

To the editor: In response to last week’s letter to the editor from Kay Sickels Mosier, all I need to say is, thank you and AMEN!!! I would also like to respond to Mary Katherine Gepner and her “Conspiracy nut?” letter in last week’s paper. So, as we watch the systematic and deliberate destruction of…

With the pandemic receding and people returning to city jobs and with interest rates…

To the editor; God Needs Help! I wonder what the world thinks when they see Joe managed by the Easter bunny! His actions should improve. Joe Biden’s 1,500,000,000,000 omnibus bill provides border security funding (370 million) for the following countries Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Nepal and Pakistan, a longtime adversary! There was 0 increase…

To the editor: Enclosed find my check for a one-year subscription to the Record News. I read every page. This paper keeps me connected to my hometown and triggers memories of my childhood and high school years. I enjoy reading the ‘Looking Back in the Early Files’ column. I always see names I recognize in…

To the Editor: I believe God is helping the USA. Before we condemn the current administration too much, maybe check some facts. A few examples would be: Failure to recognize Covid before it got out of control when thousands upon thousands of our most vulnerable population died.
