Letters To The Editor

Donald Trump is one of the most dangerous people who may soon destroy the world. He is a zero collector: His greatest obsession is to add zeros to his bottom line. To him, nothing else matters. He is part of a group of delusional billionaires that will ship American factories overseas, expand coal mining and […]

To the Santa Ynez Union Valley High School Theater Group, Jeff McKinnon, and the cast of To See The Stars, thank you so much for one of the most incredible evenings of high school theater we have ever enjoyed. Your production was well staged, and the performance of the actors, as demonstrated in their concentrated […]

On Dec. 6, the Santa Barbara County Elections Office certified all election results in the county. I am happy to report that Measure H2016 passed with 57.29 percent of the vote. With 41,572 votes cast, 23,818 voted yes.  On behalf of the Yes on Measure H2016 Bond Committee, I want to thank the community for […]

I can’t believe the businesses and the whiners that are complaining about PG&E shutting down “their” nuclear power plant—Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant! Some of these complainers are the ones that did NOT support nuclear power in this area, and did not want Diablo to start up! These are now some of the same folks […]

So, the police issued a fake press release, saying they turned over two low-level criminals (the police actually used those exact words), to immigration officials, supposedly for deportation, to mislead some gang members who wanted retribution against them. After thinking about this for a while, something occurred to me. I would assume, that these guys […]

Eighteen years ago, I was honored and humbled to be elected as your member of Congress. After spending my career as a nurse and in our public schools, I never expected to serve in Congress—but I was eager to answer the call to public service on behalf of our community. Like my husband, Walter, before […]

The article by Don Casebolt (“Religious roots,” Nov. 17) is one by an extreme leftest and anti-Christian. His hate for religion is too obvious. He attacks them all. But for the worst is the Muslim followers who believe in an ideology like Scientology. You can pick and chose passages in the Bible and then give […]

This would be my interview if I were a news reporter on the street with the high school and college resisters of Trump as our new president: 1. Have you ever held a full-time job?  2. Have you bought or owned a home?  3. What taxes have you paid other than sales tax? 4. How […]

The OMG We Are All in This Together art show at GALA Center Gallery, 1060 Palm, San Luis Obispo, has been held over until Jan. 21, the day after inauguration of the president-elect. This art show is quite popular, with more than 200 people coming through the gallery on Nov. 4, during the last Art […]

Donald Trump’s victory in being elected as the president of the United States, came as a surprise, given what we know about him. I’m not too surprised, when you consider the fickle mindset of many American voters. They hear the political rhetoric, but their mindset fails to intelligently consider its impact on their lives.  Donald […]

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 […]

Supervisor Salud Carbajal made this apt observation at the close of the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors’ review of the proposed winery ordinance after 65 wine industry speakers passionately and emotionally objected to the ordinance. Only two spoke in favor of the ordinance and neither were from the wine industry.  Supervisor Carbajal also correctly […]
