Regarding your article in the Sun entitled “A house divided” (Sept. 14), it covered the outward visible things happening, but did not address the “why.” That is the effort of the ex-mayor, John Linn, to get back on the city government and to set things up to do so for the 2018 election. There is […]

Your anti-Trump tirade in your last column is unbelievable (“Warheads,” May 4). After eight years of that idiot, Obama, how can you complain about any president, especially an outstanding one like Trump? It just shows what little twits you tabloid publishers are. For we 80-something seniors, who have seen and heard all of the presidents […]

Anyone who disagrees with Adam Kahn (“A Muslim speaks,” April 27) of the Islamic Center of Santa Maria is irresponsible according to Adam Kahn. Only Muslims can tell the truth. Kahn shows his disrespect for our local Christians who criticize the Muslim story of peace and friendliness. His comment that thousands of Christians are becoming […]

The article in your last issue entitled “Meet a Muslim” (March 30) by Brenna Swanston presents a snippet of Islam totally out of context with the real world. It is a touchy-feely article that overlooks the real Islam. Islam means submission of the brain and body to a political philosophy, not a religion. Islam is […]

Editor’s note: This letter was sent to the Sun on Feb. 25 as an open letter to the Allan Hancock College board of trustees, President Gregory Pensa, and Superintendent Kevin Walthers regarding the college’s diversity resolution. Your resolution on Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2017, is a farce and based on “fake news” about a mysterious threat […]

This guy Carbajal does not represent the majority of the people in the 24th District. We support President Trump’s program to replace the dictatorship of Obamacare with free market medical insurance policies. And while he is at it, eliminate Medicare, another failed, stupid program by radical Democrat Lyndon Johnson. The radical Democrats like Carbajal are […]

In the short time he has been our 24th District representative, Salud Carbajal’s performance is disappointing. He is an Obamanite through and through by not supporting the rejection of the UN resolution on Israel. He wanted to amend the bill to eliminate Obamacare in the recent House budget plans to further support the Obamanite past […]

The displeasure of the faculty and students at UCSB, at the election of Donald Trump as our new U.S. president is well deserved by all of them. We seniors had to put up with their decisions to elect the Obamanation in the White House twice. So we started the Tea Party to protest—peacefully. In this […]

Renewable power claims are misleading. Wind power is only available when the wind is blowing, and solar power is only available when the sun is shining. And wave power when there are waves. In the meantime the California statewide power supply must be designed to handle all the power demanded all of the time. California […]

When I recently read that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was promoting the idea of protecting the “endangered” tiger salamander in a project of condemning 30,000 acres of producing land and at a cost of $46 million in Santa Barbara County, I didn’t know whether to be appalled or laugh. Who in their right […]
