Over the past few weeks, I have read Vic Corey’s list of voting irregularities which, of course, he would know since he buys into all the conspiracy theories. I have read Perry Ennis’ rewriting of history in his comparison of Trump to Washington crossing the Delaware and his begging God to i…

Setting the stage
The COVID virus is out of control in Pitt county. Our hospital is being overwhelmed. It won’t be long before they run out of ICU beds and ventilators.

You published an innuendo-filled diatribe on Dec. 31 (Public Forum: “Murphy showed showed true colors, again”) that contained only accusations and false narratives without one fact being offered. The day mere accusations become proof of guilt, our rule of law, or our standard to denigrate or…

A false dichotomy exists in politics, Democrat or Republican. They are one in the same. Both parties support property rights restrictions, bodily autonomy restrictions, restrictions on how to spend your own money, they deem people “essential” or “non-essential.”

In “’Trickle-down economics’ more like a river” (The Daily Reflector, Dec. 30), John Hood claims that Democrats and progressives are, “as an empirical matter,” mistaken when they reject supply-side economics. To the contrary, plenty of empirical data challenges the effectiveness of corporate…

2020 was a year like no other. It included numerous events that impacted everyone, many negatively, but I want to remind everyone that the news was not all bad in Greenville. Residents can take pride in the important role Greenville continues to play in eastern North Carolina and beyond.

Current events make obvious the arrival of a new American political party, one not reliant on values held by old-line Republicans and Democrats. Let’s tentatively name this new alliance the “Nationalist Peoples’ Party” (“Nappy”). Nappy perceives the old parties’ ideals to be nuisances that i…

Trump promised to “keep America safe.” Well, think of Russia’s cyber-attack approved by Trump, COVID deaths, Trump promoting armed gangs, overturning environmental regulation, health care, Mexico border wall, separating (Nazi style) children and parents, pardoning hardened criminals, his obe…

As one of many criticizing Dr. Greg Murphy’s participation in the Amicus brief filed in Texas, I found his argument (The Daily Reflector. Dec. 20) that the brief was about restoring faith in the electoral process rather than kowtowing to Trump disingenuous.

In this world of division, the spiritual message I get from Christ’s teachings is one of unity. We are one in Christ. Merry Christmas:

I would like to thank Rep. Greg Murphy for his explanation of why he signed the amicus brief to the Supreme Court in the Texas Attorney General’s attempt to inject itself into the business of other states. However, it falls short of exonerating his poor judgment.

The June 18, 2020, cover of “Time” was spot on: Standing before a large mirror is President Trump, dressed in a dark suit. His reflected image reveals his heart’s desire: King Trump in full regal attire — crown, robe and haughty expression.
About U.S. Rep. Greg Murphy’s Dec. 20-21 op-ed, “Brief intended to restore faith, not overturn election,” you could, if you wish, read the Texas lawsuit and related documents for yourself. Go to www.supremecourt.gov and do a “docket search” for case “No. 220155”.

Every day as I take my granddaughter to school at Wintergreen Primary, I am grateful for the things that are done to keep the students safe. Traffic is directed, temperatures are taken, questions asked and answered, car doors opened, and students are guided safely to the sidewalk.

In a world of constant change, Alice Keene, immediately after her ECU graduation, made a lifelong commitment to helping provide opportunities for health and wellness in our community. Accolades arrived regularly as her efforts on our behalf saw success after success.

Not only did Greg Murphy sign on to support Trump in subverting a legitimate election, as Roman Bilan has shown here (Public Forum, Dec. 15), in so doing he tried to keep in power a science denying president whose refusal to follow the advice of experts in infectious diseases left our nation…
