Is Anyone Else Very Concerned?

My worry and concerns are for OUR country. Never in my 60-plus years have I ever seen us so divided, and the primary cause for that is the media. There are no “NEWS” broadcasts any longer, but rather cheerleaders from both sides, and then on Sunday, Nov. 17, I read a teacher was quitting because…


Old Films and Vaudeville

I love your newspaper and with my print subscription, I read it cover to cover every week.   Many thanks for always having such great articles on old movies and vaudeville and such. I am particularly struck by the article from Ms. Brannan on the 1941 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde [published in the Nov. 10–16…


I Get to Keep My Job!

I was absolutely thrilled to learn today that the courts upheld the “stay” on the Biden vaccine mandate. Then imagine how I felt when I read the OSHA has backed down from mandates also. I get to keep my job. You see, I am a 61-year-old, single, white, truck driver, oh yeah, did I mention…


Hoodwinking

For years, the conservative movement has been lecturing the leftist liberals as to the wrongness of abortion. They’ve tried to point out the injustice of killing innocent human embryos based on moral arguments primarily, wrongly assuming that the left has a moral code beyond politically correct speech. As the infamous Roe vs. Wade decision allowing…


Do Something. Do Anything.

About a year or so ago, I wrote a letter to The Epoch Times editor titled “Why SpaceX and Elon Musk Are the Right Stuff.” Shortly thereafter, I was contacted by a gentleman who I will call Mr. G. The subject line was “Contact with a Kindred Spirit.” That certainly caught my attention. According to…


‘The Identitarian Party’

I believe that today’s Democratic Party should change its name to “The Identitarian Party” because it has more and more become a collection of identity-groups who believe that the groups that they themselves happen to belong to and are a member of has been the most victimized and unjustly treated of all and should be…


NIH and CDC

Rob Natelson writes [in “Abolish the CDC and NIH,” published in the Nov. 3–Nov. 9 edition] that CDC has 11,000 “workers” and NIH has 20,000. He says the combined annual budgets for these bloated bastions of waste and excess total over $53 billion. Do you know what this is per employee? UNBELIEVABLE! J. Sexton Minnesota


No Peace in Our Time

The CCP’s maniacal raving overtaking Taiwan by whatever means is nothing less than a flashback to the Sudeten crisis of 1938, and if they ever succeed, there will be, without a doubt, no peace in our time. Best regards. Fred Bilello Nevada


Ponzi Is Still in Awe

In the letter in “The Readers’ Turn” for Oct. 27–Nov. 2, 2021, by Enid F. Rocourt of Arizona, Rocourt claims that it is incorrect to say that the money for Social Security does not go into the so-called Social Security trust fund, that it goes into Social Security and is then “borrowed” by the federal…


Investing Social Security

Go get your pocket calculator. In the meantime, kudos to The Epoch Times for allowing us to discuss the most important subject to about 75 percent of us (private-sector workers): our pensions, Social Security. The beginning Dow Jones average of equities on Jan. 1, 1975, was 632. Punch that into your calculator, divide by .092…
