Letter: Kindness matters
There was a beautiful letter in the July 10 paper written by Kate Finn of Homer. It is the best letter I have read in a very, very long time. I would encourage everyone to please read Kate’s letter. Her wisdom speaks to a need for all of us to simply be kind to each other. Her message was clear and concise. A better future comes with better values, trust in one another, and compassion and understanding for all. Thank you, Kate, for “Rules to live by” that we should all embrace.
Letter: A stark choice
Sixty years ago, Barry Goldwater warned us that when fascism came to America, it would be wrapped in the flag and carrying a Bible. Current affairs point to his prescience. I heartily recommend all to watch “Bad Faith” on Tubi and possibly other streaming services. Acquaint yourselves with Project 2025, the Republican playbook. Donald Trump denies knowing anything about Project 2025, but several of the authors worked in his administration or were his advisers. I submit he knows all about it but realizes how unpopular its tenets would be with voters.
