Langworthy Ducking Those Opposed To GOP Policies

To the Reader’s Forum: Nick Langworthy doesn’t want to hear from his constituents because he doesn’t represent them, he really represents the interests of Elon Musk. He wouldn’t show up for a bunch of regular folks at a town hall, but if Elon called and asked to speak with him, Chicken Nick would show up in a second, hat in hand. If Nick doesn’t do what Musk wants, Elon will just appoint someone else. To avoid the town hall, Nick used the Republican version of the dog ate my homework excuse. Rather than show up and listen to constituents angry about what Trump and ...

Cleaning Up After The Dog Is A Good Start

To The Reader’s Forum: In response to the author of the article on March 20 pertaining to whether he should “pick up” after his dog when he had to bring politics into his choice of doing the right thing or not. He mentioned in his article that his mother had raised him well. But his attitude towards others seems to point out that he may have not learned much. But the author can start by being a responsible dog owner, which will be a step in the right direction. Larry Ostrander Zephyrhills, Fla.

A Dose Of Kindness Is Needed

To The Reader’s Forum: Dear Mr. Meara, It is not kind and you do not have the right to allow your dog to poop on your neighbor’s lawn and not clean it up, because you don’t agree with his political views, just as it is not right to damage the property of someone else - as the rioters are doing to Tesla dealerships. What political party do you suppose the rioters - not protesters - are affiliated with? It is the pot calling the kettle black to talk about kindness, cooperation and community, don’t you think? The liberals will not consider anything brought up by the ...

What Exactly Is Normal To The Buffalo Diocese?

To The Reader’s Forum: As a lifelong member of Saints Peter &; Paul Parish and then later merging with St. John’s RC Church to become what is now Holy Apostles Parish, I felt it necessary to respond to some of the content in the article in The Post-Journal dated March 8 that was shared with us from Joe Martone, communications director for the Diocese. For the word “normal” to be used in any sentence that pertains to any actions by this Diocese in the past two years is anything but normal. Is it normal for a bishop to announce on one sunny afternoon to all Catholics in WNY ...

The American Voice Has Been Silenced

To the Reader’s Forum:: I fully support the silencing of the Voice of America and the forceful takeover by DOGE of the Institute of Peace. The VOA was established in 1942 as an anti-propaganda tool against Nazi misinformation. During the Cold War, its operations expanded in an effort to fight communism, and it played a role in the decline of communism in several countries. Throughout its operations, it has aimed to broadcast uncensored information to residents under restrictive regimes. The United States Institute of Peace was established by Congress as an American independent, ...

Encourage Representatives To Save Medicaid

To The Reader’s Forum: In our county there are people we see or know whose budget is stretched tight. Maybe they’ve lost their job because of an injury, a chronic illness, they’re pregnant, or disabled, they are children. They have been able to keep going because they have Medicaid. Our House of Representatives just passed a bill instructing the House Energy and Commerce Committee to cut -over 10 years- at least $880 Billion dollars in costs. Recent proposals from the House Budget committee have taken these cuts from Medicaid AND the Children’s Health Insurance Plan ...
