Not sure state will do what’s needed
To the Editor:
I do not share Mr. McLeod's optimism that the the legislature "...will do what is needed for our region ...." (Volume 26, Issue 28).
Knowing the difference: fact versus opinion
To the Editor:
A few weeks ago Smoky Mountain News Editor Scott McLeod wrote an interesting article spelling out the differences between folks who choose to read or listen to media sources that provide facts and those who get their news from media that primarily give opinions. There’s nothing wrong with opinions if they are backed up by facts. Otherwise, they’re just noise.
Israeli visit is pure hypocrisy
To the Editor:
A recent edition of a local paper described the visit of an Israeli envoy to bring relief supplies to our area after Helene.

Maybe Trump’s win was about policy
To the Editor:
The liberal media, including TV personalities and “journalists,” were really shocked over the Trump victory. “Oh, the humanity!!” It is almost comical to see the culture elites who believe that they are endowed with wisdom and understanding to be totally dumbfounded, particularly when they tell us how we should think.
Hats off to Mountain Research Station
To the Editor:

We must put planet over profit
To the Editor:

Misinformation is the ‘Poison Apple’
To the Editor:
Listening to Trump’s string of falsehoods and misrepresentations reminds me not of what a strong and vibrant nation we live in, but how the Party of Trump has adopted a pattern of relying on fairytale fantasy about their platform and agenda.
Democrats are a danger to democracy
To the Editor:
There has been a lot said about democracy being on the ballot, but it’s mostly Democrat gasbaggery. The Democratic Party is the main threat to democracy because they are obviously afraid of it in action.
Trump is not a president for all
To the Editor:
Donald Trump promised at the NRA convention to roll back gun control measures enacted under Biden and to fire the head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Say no to a second Trump term
To the Editor:
This letter is in response to LeRoy E. Cossette’s letter stating how bad a Harris presidency would be for the United States, dangerous even, since he (incorrectly) states she is a Marxist socialist.
