Editor:

I recently witnessed Liz Mathis ad against Congresswoman Hinson; claiming Ms. Hinson favored "no abortions" under any circumstances. I am not writing to defend the Congresswoman's stand on this matter; she is fully capable of defending herself, but I find this ad to be disingenuous! One killing is a tragedy two is outrageous. This election is not about "prochoice" - abortion - it is about - inflation, immigration, national security, the danger of nuclear war, Putin's war, the war on Oil, wokism, Critical Race theory, etc. I am pro-life, I make no apology for that stance. Life is bestowed by our creator only man can take it away. What the abortion pro-crowd needs to admit is that this procedure Kills a human unborn baby. This it NO more NO less.

Note: I was able to see a debate where the Dem (Ohio maybe) criticize the Republican on abortion rules. Seems a 10 yr. old was raped and pregnant and theoretically no abortion was available - in that state. The Republican retorted that the girl was raped by an illegal alien. Thus closed border no illegal no rape no pregnancy. This is on Biden - period.

Justify that if you can.

Regards,

John Stiegelmeyer

GB October 16, 2022, 3:26 am Absolutely John.
RB October 17, 2022, 1:27 pm I’m pro choice. The decision to have an abortion is between a woman and her doctor. Been that way for 50 years! Most religions recognize the developing embryo as part of a woman’s body and life begins with the first breath. So now Biden is responsible for a 10-year olds pregnancy? Good Lord.

I’m still waiting for your take on the most criminal, corrupt president in history. Your silence indicates you approve of his criminal behavior. Come on John! You write so many letters surely a paragraph could be devoted to your hero Trump! lol
JS October 17, 2022, 3:18 pm Biden:
You missed the point again. Why is the border open?
Why do we have some many illegal aliens in our midst? Why do we have criminal behavior from many of these illegals? Again that girl would not be pregnant if that illegal rapist were in his country of origin. We have 2,000,000 illegals in country since the first of the year. Whose fault is that. Government' first job is security that is the President's responsibility. He has failed.

NG October 17, 2022, 4:14 pm John, what this election is about is different from one person to the next. I am not "Pro abortion" but I am pro choice. It is none of your business or the governments business if a woman needs an abortion. Men find it so easy to try to control women and do not even give the woman a second thought. All you care about is the unborn baby. There is another life to consider so maybe you should try thinking about her. Where is the father in this situation? How is the woman's health and will the baby have a chance at a normal life? Was the woman {or child} raped. What if the woman is not religious, why does she have to follow your beliefs? What if she is living in an abusive home? When was the last time you and all the rest of the men had a right taken away from you? I can't remembering that happening, ever. It wasn't that long ago when we heard "My body my choice" when it comes to getting vaccinated against Covid. But it appears you think women don't get that same choice.

You have a lot of nerve blaming President Biden for the 10 year old rape victim when we just went through 4 years of the most corrupt president and you have not condemned him for anything.

Hinson's bill bans all abortions nationwide with no exceptions for rape, incest or to save the life of the mother.” But like many republicans she is walking that back to make herself look better. They know many women and men do not agree with that stance so they want to change it for now and add those exceptions. But rest assured if the win back the house and senate they will go back to their previous stance. Most of Washington republicans are liars just like trump. They will say whatever is expected at the moment and then change later.

Yes, there was a 10-year-old girl raped in Ohio and then she had to go to Indiana to get an abortion. At first republicans said it was a fake story but then had to come to grips with the fact that it was true. So now they are dwelling on the fact that it was an immigrant. Is it easier for you John to focus on the immigrant so you don't have to think of what this young child had to go through. He has been arrested so he will be dealt with but what about all the other children out there who are raped or are living in a family with incest? They can't all be swept under the rug.

TF October 17, 2022, 6:24 pm Hi John,

I'm wondering what you mean by "wokism". I'm sure we can all agree that even though we've come a long way that we can all point out instances of racism still occurring in the United States, correct?
JS October 17, 2022, 9:17 pm Gould:
What do you not understand that if this rapist where not allowed to cross our border that girl would not have been raped --- no rape no pregnancy --- no need for a medical abortion.
close the border --- this rape and abortion is on Biden. Get it! Obviously you don't. The majority of our federal prisoners are illegals --- get it? As I have stated many times the first job of the executive is security. Biden has failed!!!! All previous administration may have tried but none have been able to stop the flow. Pres. Trump tried with the wall and that would have stopped the flow to a manageable trickle, but the left stopped that in their tracks. Ms. Gould get real. I make a sentence -- you write a book that makes no sense. Pregnancy does not occur with out carnal knowledge. Right? The male has to insert and ejaculate. Biology. So pregnancy can not occur without the other. Right?
Regards,
GB October 17, 2022, 11:51 pm Again Norma blames Trump. Totally ignore the fact Biden has an open border either because he is ignorant or incompetent, the results are the same. Inflation is out of control because of over spending by Congress and the Whitehouse on programs that do nothing for the country except increase our debt and create a generation of lazy entitled individuals. Biden is compromised by China through the shady business deals the Biden crime family has had with foreign governments for years and yet somehow Norma blames Trump? You either have to be blind or so ignorant you need counseling to keep blaming Trump and Republicans. This current mess belongs to Biden and the Democratic Socialists in Washington.
Norma, just because you "wish" to call Trump corrupt, does not make it so.. Nothing is more corrupt than the current leadership this country is under. If you actually was informed on current events, you would learn that the whole Russian collusion the Democrats pushed on Trump for his entire term was a false narrative made up by an FBI informant where false statements were made to obtain warrants to spy on the Trump campaign. This informant is currently on trial.
NG October 18, 2022, 4:56 pm John, please have enough respect for me to call me Norma, not Gould.

Republicans always yell about "Open Borders" but we do not have open borders. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/desantis-abbott-using-open-border-myth-to-justify-moving-migrants-rcna48844

Every time there is a bill that will give money for more border security republicans vote against it. I think they want things to remain as they are so they can complain. They think it will make them look better in November. They are doing everything they can to make sure President Biden fails. What happened to putting our country and its people first above party?

You are part of the problem John. Ultimately, 458 miles of new border fencing was paid for by taxpayers at a cost of $11bn and there was evidence as early as 2019 that smugglers were sawing through the boundary with $100 power tools.

You don't need to talk down to me and treat me like an idiot. You are not superior to anyone else so get off your high horse. I understand exactly what you are saying but I believe you are wrong. Read the link I enclosed. Here is another link. https://www.cato.org/blog/bidens-border-policy-not-open-borders

You think trump's wall was the answer but you are wrong. Trump's border wall along the US-Mexico border has been breached more than 3,000 times, government maintenance records show. Border security “requires a variety of resources and efforts, infrastructure, technology, and personnel”, much of which was not funded when Trump’s wall was constructed.

Here is another link to educate you.

The one thing I have come to realize about republicans is "They accuse others of what they themselves are doing."

Norma Gould

NG October 18, 2022, 6:15 pm Gerald, we do not have open borders. Read the links I posted to John. They explain a lot.

I don't "wish to call trump corrupt." I was stating a fact. If you watched the hearings you would know that. If you didn't watch the hearings you are afraid to face the truth. You would rather watch Fox and let them lie to you.

"You either have to be blind or so ignorant you need counseling" to keep blaming President Biden for what republicans are doing. Republicans are the ones making it harder to vote, taking women's healthcare rights away, believing trumps lies and still being part of his cult, voting against what the people of this country want.

trump was raised by a man who taught him to never apologize, never admit you are wrong, take credit for good things regardless if you actually did them or not, never take the blame for something gone wrong. That is exactly who trump is and republicans in Washington are doing the same thing.

How many republicans came out against trump right after the insurrection and then later changed their rhetoric to say it was not an insurrection, just a regular tourist day. Republicans are liars who want to destroy President Biden and in the process if this country loses its democracy they don't care. Power is what they want and with putting certain people in the state positions they will try to win in Nov and in 2024. Their goal is complete republican control for ever and then our democracy is will be gone.

You always defend everything republicans do so is that what you want for this country. You want them to have the ability to steal every election and just throw peoples votes out so they win, because that is what the republicans in Washington want.

TF October 18, 2022, 7:42 pm Hi John,

I'm wondering what you mean by "wokism". I'm sure we can all agree that even though we've come a long way that we can all point out instances of racism still occurring in the United States, correct?
NG October 18, 2022, 9:42 pm Gerald, too bad so sad but the trial you mentioned is over with a not guilty verdict. John Durham failed twice. One of the jurors from the first trial said the time was not well spent. Durham was trying really hard to please trump but it didn't work.

But you go ahead and keep loving your republicans and their conspiracy theories. When they come to take our social security do you suppose they will let you keep yours because you voted for them? I don't think so.

They want to raise the eligibility for social security and Medicare to make it harder for people to retire and survive. They also want to cut benefits. They want to say no to the American people by putting politics and the republican party over people.

They are supposed to be working for we the people but they are working for their party and power over the people.

You need to listen to something other than Fox so you know what is going on in this country. You are very ill informed.

Norma Gould
GB October 19, 2022, 7:17 am Norma,
Had you actually been informed and followed the trial, you would have learned their informant was found not guilty. There was no dismissal of the testimony or evidence that the Russian collusion was a FALSE narrative made up to spy on the Trump campaign. Those facts were well established during the probe and testimony at trial. You missed the point again.
Again, wishing for something to be true or so that it fits into your anti-American ideology as John pointed out does not make it a reality. Maybe it does for you but not for the majority of everyone else.
The January 6th hearings you speak of are far from being held at the same legal standards any court at any level would be required to meet. Everyone can agree January 6th should never have happened.
No one has condoned it. Pelosi even turned down the offer to bring in the National Guard to secure the Capital. Just because you want Trump to be connected to it does not make it a fact. As John said, it's old news. Then to ignore the riots organized and pushed by the radical BLM is ridiculous. There were billions of dollars in damage, lives lost and businesses burned that had nothing to do with anything. A lot of these were small family-owned businesses that will never be back.
It is not only delusional for you to have this endless anti-American, anti-men and anti-Republican rambling, but it is also redundant and irresponsible. Yet, we still live in a country where free speech is a right. You do not need to agree.
GB October 19, 2022, 8:29 am Todd Frank, I am just curious why you brought racism into the conversation? I have not read anything here with regards to that. Where is that coming from?
DL October 19, 2022, 1:11 pm Bates, Why do people like you always get bent out of shape when someone brings up something that hasn't been in the conversation previously? Can you only focus on one thing at a time, or per day? The fact that racism hadn't been mentioned previously, doesn't take away the fact that it's one of the largest, problematic issues in our country.
GB October 19, 2022, 8:07 pm Lindsey, of course you and liberals like you would drag race into a conversation. It's all you have. I have said this before and I will say it again, when a person brings race into a conversation it is usually that person who is racist.
NG October 20, 2022, 3:09 am Gerald, yes I said he was found not guilty. Both of the men Durham tried to prosecute were found not guilty.

Why don't you read what Darrin wrote about the Russian interference in our election.

I AM NOT ANTI-AMERICAN. How dare you repeat that kind of trash. You are disgusting.

PELOSI DID NOT TURN DOWN HAVING THE NATIONAL GUARD COME ON 1/6 AND TRUMP DID NOT PUT OUT A REQUEST FOR 10,000 OR 20,000 NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS TO SHOW UP EITHER. Like I said before you are VERY ill informed.

It is not only delusional for you to have this endless anti-American, and anti-Democratic rambling, but it is also redundant and irresponsible. Yet, we still live in a country where free speech is a right. You do not need to agree.

It is getting harder to have a conversation with both you and John. You insist on name calling and lots of slander. You are both acting like children. Grow up and act like responsible people. We should be able to have a conversation without all the garbage.
SJW October 25, 2022, 3:41 pm Get your fracts right Mr. Stiegelmeyer.The 10 year old was raped by a relative, not an illegal alien. Republicans hear what they want to hear. If you don't want an abortion don't get one. It is a woman's choice and apparently you are not a woman. People like you care about the Preborn but not preschoolers. As soon as they are born, whether the mother dies or not, Republicans are more than happy to drop them on their heads. Bitch about welfare mothers, cut school funding, etc. This race is, in part, about abortion rights. Republicans stole three Supreme Court seats in four years and set back women's rights 50 years. How can you sleep at night?
