When did liberalism start and what do liberals stand for? We can start with the book of Genesis chapter 3: verse 5-7, KJV; where Eve was deceived and Adam disobeyed. Adam didn't have to disobey and eat of the fruit but did so because he loved Eve more than God. As liberals do today, Adam and…
Over the last 100 years, the kindness of Lionism has multiplied across borders, oceans and continents. With over 1.4 million members, the International Association of Lions Clubs continues as one of the largest community service organizations in the world. There are over 48,000 Lions clubs a…
There have been submissions to the paper complaining about letters posted that went against sensitive feelings over the Trump administration. It's considered negative if you didn't embrace that toxic regime and kiss the ring of their Anointed One.
I read the letter "Is it really a win" and it appears the writer is angry with another writer. She investigates how many times and how often that writer has submitted letters to the editor. Now that writer expresses his dislike for Donald Trump and his followers. Well, he has the right to ex…
I remember when OPEC would meet to decide how much oil they would produce. In order to drive up the price of oil. I remember when oil tankers would anchor outside of Delaware Bay and wait until the price of oil was high enough and then go up the Delaware river to the oil refineries.
In response to a recent letter, it was never because of policies or taxes that many of us did not vote for former-President Trump. It's because of his shameless use of hatred, fear, racism, misogyny and homophobia to divide and attempt to conquer America.
I have a question for Highlands County Health Department. When is it my turn to get my vaccine? I am 95 years old, I registered on Jan. 11 and I received a phone call Feb. 2 confirming my registering, saying I would get a phone call when my vaccine was available. Nothing, nothing, nothing ha…
I wondered how long it would take truly heartless individuals to start spouting forth their filth about Rush Limbaugh, and it took less time than I thought. If you would have listened to Rush for more than a moment you would know what you printed was a load of garbage.
David Dunn-Rankin, I really appreciated your note! Wasn’t expecting that at all. You need to look in your mirror when it comes to being thoughtful.
I have a question for the Trump haters. How long do you plan to beat this “dead horse?” News flash – he’s not in office anymore. There were 74 million people that voted for Trump. We’ll never know how many voted for Joe. Seventy-four million is a lot of people to be constantly insulting.
I want to thank Phil Attinger for the article "Priming Pumps." Gas prices are always in flux and we love it when they are down but groan when they rise.
These are buzz words we keep hearing; do they mean the same thing or is there a difference? Webster says of equal, “being the same in quantity, size, degree, or value.' “add equal amounts of water and flour”. Now how about equity? The meaning of equity is “the quality of being fair and impar…
After once again seeing a negative letter from a certain man, I decided to do a search using his name to see how often he wrote letters to the editor ... and his name came up 53 times. I didn’t scroll down to see how many days between each and every letter, but I do know that I am getting si…
Yep, the day has come that a Democrat would blame God for something. Yep, you heard it right folks, God did something wrong. Governor Cuomo, after getting caught lying in how many people died in nursing homes with COVID-19, blames God for the many deaths.
Unknown to many, someone is always watching you. There is no expectation of privacy, even at home. Google your own name and you may be shocked at how much information has been gathered about you, friends and relatives. Websites keep track of your movements on the internet. Unseen cameras tra…
The Texas governor and other Republicans have been spending a lot of time spinning the lie the power grid failure was caused by alternative energies.
Kudos to the COVID-19 vaccine staff. My husband and I went for our second dose of the vaccine at the former JC Penney store. We were very pleased with the efficiency of the staff. From the time we checked in at the desk with our paperwork to the time we walked out of the building after stayi…
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Thank you Fran Rolston for your recent article about Claude Pepper and U.S. 27. I was acquainted with Mr. Pepper in the late 1970s. He was instrumental in passing legislation that required sidewalks to have ramps exiting to streets. This made sidewalks accessible to the handicapped. It also …
Just read the attacks on President Trump in the 2/16 and 2/17 editions but you can pick any of the Highlands News-Sun editions and get the same dribble from the same people.
You may remember "Nipper," the little dog in the RCA logo who faithfully sat near the Victrola listening for "His Master's Voice." At the bidding of their Master, traitors like Josh Hawley, Rafael (Canadian) Cruz, Rudy Guiliani, Matt Gaetz and the gaggle of drooling, mouth breathing losers e…
I am a resident of Highlands County and I live in an area of agriculture in Lorida, Florida. The department of Highlands County Code Enforcement told me to sell all my animals or kill them.
The United States, the greatest country throughout human history, a Republic where laws are delegated by a consortium of people and not by one or a handful of people. A republic started with Moses, who couldn't handle all the problems from millions of Jews, so his father-in-law Jethro sugges…
Election disputes will remain alive until the next election by the voters. Irregularities injected into process and non constitutional execution demean the entire electoral system. Fundamental exercise of one person executing one vote is core to a republic democracy. Ignorance in denying vot…
My husband and I are permanent residents and have lived in Lake Placid for over 22 years. We are considered “high risk” during this pandemic due to age [both over 80] and medical conditions. We have self-isolated since March 2020 and follow the CDC guidelines.
David Dunkin-Rankin makes an interesting point (Sunday, Feb. 14th, Views) that GDP growth equals the sum of population growth plus productivity growth. His answer is to increase the immigrants into the country to increase the population.
We live in a large, 55 and older, mobile home park. Almost no one here wears a mask or social distances. They have nightly spreading events at various homes. Yet, these same people want to be first in line to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Well, the 43 spineless Republican Senators drank the Kool aid. Regardless of the five deaths, 140 law enforcement officers injured, some permanently, thousands of dollars damaged and personally running for their very lives, they acquitted Trump on a technicality. After days of convincing vid…
Woe unto those whose heart is full of hate — For it is of the devil.
On Feb.14 (a letter writer) wrote "The Left knows that Trump did not incite the behavior that took place on Jan. 6th at the Capitol." (The writer) obviously did not watch the trial. The Left and most of the Right knows that he did.
I like to thank Joe Biden for eliminating thousands of jobs by closing down the Key Stone pipeline and not allowing more drilling on federal lands. I have noticed a creeping up of prices at the gas pumps so, I guess we are now dependent on middle east oil.
For those who don't know, the flag being flown upside down is a signal that you are in great danger. I would suggest that everyone who has our great flag flying, turn it upside down, because what is coming out of the White House (and the house) is putting us all in great danger.
The Left knows Trump did not incite the illegal behavior that took place on January 6th at the Capitol. Court documents prove that, as pipe bombs were laid in Washington before Trump's speech. Intelligence has proved there was a plan in place on the internet some days before January 6th. Ame…
The switch to a state-run registration process for COVID vaccinations may have sounded good at the the time, but in reality it meant the chances of getting into the system is greater than the guessing the right six numbers on Saturdays. As the computer clock ticked to 7:00 ... a keystroke el…
After my second vaccination, I am writing to say it was a much smoother experience than on Jan. 5. As before, the staff providing the services were professional and efficient. But this time there was not the long wait in line to reach them.
My husband and I registered for the vaccine in early January. Friday, we got the call to come in for our shots on Saturday. I neglected to connect our registration, so his appointment was at 9 a.m. and mine was at 2:30 p.m.
Every God-fearing, law-abiding citizen of the United States should read Doug Spurling’s article of Jan. 27, 2021, “Exposed but now engaged.” It's an eye opener for everyone who thinks this country is going in the wrong direction.
Congratulations to the Sebring Health Department for the latest delivery system of the COVID Moderna vaccine. The process was smooth as silk. My husband and I got a call the day before our appointment and were in and out of the mall in 35 minutes. All the staff was friendly, professional and…
I think Warren Pender’s article speaks volumes about the sentiments of the majority of us readers. Our thanks and appreciation.
What is the Postal Service coming to? I live in rural Avon Park near Sebring. The apartments where I live have outdoor keyed mailboxes. In December, my electric bill never showed up and still has not (Feb. 1). My bank statement finally showed up at the end of the month – mailed from Lakeland…
As predicted, a flurry of sore losers continue to cry in their beer over the loss of their Anointed Sovereign, the duly ejected White House occupant. Childish attacks are hurled at anyone who opposes the majesty of the once elected, twice impeached, and thrice married idol.
We live in Highlands County, Florida. My husband has multiple myeloma cancer. His immune system is highly compromised and he is 82.
It's a shame Governor DeSantis is playing God with the lives of Florida's snowbirds by withholding the corona vaccine from them because they are not "residents."
I am an 82-year-old veteran who has COPD and sleep apnea, my wife is 81 years old and has asthma and COPD. If we catch the virus, our chances for survival are not good. We have tried to follow the instructions for getting the vaccine.
