A recent article about the Santa Maria City Council meeting where protesters were questioning why the city didn’t do more to counter ICE activities (“Santa Maria delays hearing ‘to ensure safety’ of City Council,” Oct. 15) highlighted the ignorance of some of these groups. The Constitution places immigration enforcement under the federal government, not the […]

Empty promises, brownouts herald darker days looming for our state’s power grid
So our governor asks us not to use electricity between 5 and 9 p.m. due to overburdening the electric grid. There will be rolling brownouts throughout the state. Let’s see, 5 to 9 p.m. just happens to be when most people are home, living normal lives in their houses, apartments, condos, campers, tents, or whatever. […]

The blame-Trump game
Is anyone else as sick of hearing “racist” as much as I am? If you disagree with me, then I’m a racist. If you say something I don’t like, then you are a racist. Everyone’s a racist. Give me a break. I am especially tired of people labeling Trump a racist because he wants to […]

Dear Adam Schiff and all Democrats
Sir, on more than one occasion you stated you had proof the president had colluded with the Russians to win the 2016 election. Either you have the proof or you lied. Which is it? Show us the proof. You shift with the wind looking for any case you might manufacture against him. What have you […]

Her latest fabrication is that Border Patrol agents […]

Dems have no class
Hear about the GOP senators’ personal information posted on the internet? Did you read the posts were traced back to a computer in Rep. Maxine Waters’ (D-Los Angeles) offices? Let’s judge this as Democrats and treat her like Judge Kavanaugh. She denies any involvement or knowledge. Should we believe her? Not if we use Democrats’ […]

Track the Democrats
What is wrong with Donald Trump? Can you believe he wants to register Muslims and survey mosques? Just because every terrorist who has caused carnage and destruction since and including the 9-11 attacks has been a Muslim, why would any rational person want to keep track of them? Further why would we want to close […]

I’d rather be in sheep’s clothing than be an ignorant sheep
Santa Maria
Ignorance demands rebuttal, and in this case, I must challenge Roy Berger (“No-tax groups are really un-American,” May 13). Because I or others like me are against taxes does not make us racists. What was the original Tea Party about, Roy? Taxes, not race. When you can’t argue your side with facts, Roy, and must […]
