Hats off to these House Republicans

To the editor: Finally! My hat’s off to the 20 House Republicans who truly represented their districts. What they were asking Kevin McCarthy, the newly-elected Speaker of the House, to do is what every red-blooded American wants: USA Federal Government fiscal responsibility. And, in my opinion, it’s about time. And, to make sure that McCarthy doesn’t forget his promises, they made sure just one House member could call for a new election for Speaker of the House. The swamp doesn’t like that so it must be the right move. Nancy Pelosi states that weakens the Speaker. Compared to ...

Page A4 is my favorite and I was pleased to see your annual Christmas message to all Columbiana County Newspapers (Morning Journal, Salem News, The Review) readers.

The press and federal government covered up the story —it was only reported by the Wall Street Journal. The assault started after midnight.

The shooting lasted only 20 minutes and they knocked out 17 giant transformers that supplied electricity to Silicon Valley. They vanished a minute before police arrived. There was no blackout because Pacific Gas and Electric was ...
