Opinion
Before there was American Eagle, there was Lee
It seems that my eyeballs are on the permanent eye roll setting. The latest was the attempt to make the American Eagle brand into some sort of branch of the Nazis. I'll be honest, when anyone now labels anyone a "Nazi," I yawn. Unfortunately, the connotation of what a real Nazi is has been diluted with the schoolyard name-calling that has been going on. Letter to the Editor: Salute to our City Workers
Dear Editor,Recently I've had the opportunity to get involved with some of our city departments. --A few weeks ago I had a question about mosquito spraying and when I called Chris at city hall he not only gave me the phone number of the person I needed to talk to but he called me back the next day to follow up. --The guys in the street department have made it possible to sit on our deck now that they are spraying for mosquitos twice a week.
Hot Takes: Democrats Campaign, Diddy Did it, Photoshop, BACON, Investigations
In weeding through the news every week, there are tidbits that I scan and have nowhere to put the crazy bits of information. Usually, there are some (what I think) funny or sarcastic responses that roll around in my head. When that happens, I feel like Chandler in the episode of Friends, where he makes a bet that he won't make one sarcastic response for a day. Letter to the Editor: Thank you to the Fair Board
Dear Editor, Kudos to the Benton County Fair Board on a successful 2025 fair. Being on a volunteer fair board can not be an easy job. Everyone has opinions on what needs to be be done, without knowing all the facts. It appears the board listened to public input and acted on it. The midway was at least twice the size of last year's with many new rides.
The Swampiest Swamp is a Swampin'
There have been so many articles written about the unfairness dished out on women from behind this computer. Starting with allowing boys to participate in girls' sports, sometimes injuring them with concussions, broken eye sockets, busted mouths etc. And women, for the most part, are silent. I ask why, but I know why, the same reason I said nothing.
Letter to the Editor: One Big Beautiful Bill
Dear Editor,No Democrat voted for the latest bill before Congress. Why? We need an explanation from Democrats on this forum. Try to refrain from talking points and fake news! Why was this bill so deployable? Certain items that need to be fixed will be. What say you? Stay away from Jefferies’ rant, which meant nothing. Let's read your thoughts if you dare.
Letter to the Editor: Taxes
Dear Editor,It is a given, when taxes are reduced, revenue increases. This happened with Kennedy, Reagan, and Trump. Reducing the increases in Medicare spending is not a cut , but only a misdirection by Democrats. They are quite good at the big lie. Congress must control spending--that takes courage they do not have.
Letter to the Editor: "Iran Deserves It"
Dear Editor, Years ago, when I was on active duty, it was rumored that our military had many contingency plans. Dealing with any imaginable situation. One rumored, one dealt with action against Great Britain. This attack plan has been in the works for many years, with numerous presidents as commander-in-chief. It took President Trump to give the execution order.

Barbara Ann
The first time I became aware of the song “Barbara Ann” was probably in 1990. Thanks to the golden microphone in the EIB Network and talent in on loan from God. Rush Limbaugh with half his brain tied behind his back (just to make it fair) used this song to signal updates on the Gulf War. The parody came out changing the words to “Bomb, bomb Iran.
Letter to the Editor: CCP Aircraft
Dear Editor,Chinese Communist Party Aircraft…why have they landed in Iran? To cart away high grade uranium or something more sinister? What is the answer? Fordow must be destroyed! The hierarchy of Iran eliminated.Regards, John Stiegelmeyer
