Letter: Vancouver should vote by district

June 14, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Letter: Proud of our Class of 2024

Letter: We can choose to be sensible

June 13, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Returning from Ukraine again days ago, I had ample time to think, largely about human irrationality. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine made absolutely no sense. Russia’s continuing sadistic brutality, in its war on innocent Ukrainian civilians, makes absolutely no sense. Read story

June 12, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

This morning I dropped my kiddo off at school. There is clearly a sign stating one should not turn left between 8 and 9 a.m. Six cars in front of me were attempting to turn left at 8:30 a.m. Read story

When God gave His Commandments and laws to His chosen people, the Israelites, God told them, as recorded in Leviticus 20:2: “Whoever . . . gives any of his descendants to Molech (a false god), he shall surely be put to death.” That was one of the ways that the… Read story
