Be More Tolerant Of Other Viewpoints

Be More Tolerant Of Other Viewpoints To The Reader’s Forum: I am writing this note to serve as a warning to all readers of The Jamestown Post-Journal, and to all free citizens for that matter, of recent calls for censorship of free speech as requested by some uninformed persons. Michelle Malkin is a respected and thorough investigator and reporter, whose style of reporting may disturb a few thin-skinned and delicate personae, but her column is necessary for a balance of opinions which The Post-Journal admirably displays (save for the AP articles). We are indeed fortunate to have ...

First Amendment Is Under Fire

To The Reader’s Forum: The cancel culture is at it again! Obviously the First Amendment is under fire. If what is said or written does not agree with your viewpoint, you don’t want it allowed to be in print or said. It is funny how the left accuses the right of fascist or Nazi behavior when they are so willing to employ it themselves. I read the beloved Connie Schultz’s column (with whom I seldom agree) because I like to have information from both sides of an idea. Our country was founded on the idea that we are able to express our opinion. Hopefully those who want to ...

Slashing Funding For Addiction Service Is Not ‘New York Loving’

To The Reader’s Forum: Slashing funding for addiction services by twenty percent amid a surge in overdose deaths is not ‘New York Smart’ or ‘New York Loving’ or ‘New York United’, instead it is ‘New York Shortsighted’, ‘New York Heartless’, and ‘New York Divided’. Predictably, here’s what’s already starting to happen – programs are developing plans to down-size or close services, frontline essential workers are losing their jobs, and preventable deaths of despair like overdose and suicide are getting worse. A 20% cut to NYS Office of Addiction and ...

Absolute Power In The Hands Of One Is A Threat To Democracy

To The Reader’s Forum: In just a couple of weeks children will be returning to school in New York state for in-person instruction. Restaurants have reopened and people are shopping in stores and malls. Major League Baseball and the National Basketball Association are playing games on a daily basis throughout New York. The NFL season will begin in less than a month in Buffalo. In just over two months millions of New Yorkers will be going to the polls to vote in the Presidential election. New infection rates for COVID-19 are at or near a minuscule 1% on a daily basis. Does any of ...

Reader Supports Malkin Opinion Column

To The Reader’s Forum: Readers are thankful that The Post-Journal has not succumbed to cancel culture virtue signaling demands to silence one of the few brave voices cognizant of the internal assault on our nation — Michelle Malkin. Having retired from Chicago (20 years ago), I’ve watched intently the protracted destruction of that city at the hands of the cancel culture warriors, including Antifa, Black Lives Matter and the “Sunrise Movement.” These organizations — ultimately anarchist — are funded by George Soros and allies, as Malkin has documented in her articles ...

We Can Get To A Better Place Together

To The Reader’s Forum: Michelle Malkin is trying to normalize white supremacy. She has publically allied herself with white supremacists, appeared on white supremacist podcasts and defended holocaust deniers and the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Why are you giving her a platform to do so in our hometown paper? Our country is trying to face our history of slavery, segregation, and the institutional racism that continues to this day — in access to banking and capital, hiring practices, schools, home buying, policing, the courts and sentencing. We are ...
