This is a comment regarding presidential behavior. Namely, the removal of cancelling machines from the post office.
Finally. He is going to be brought to justice. Our criminal ex-president is now going to have to face the music for all of the crimes he has committed against America. From now on I guess he and his devoted followers will be wearing hats that no longer say, 'Make America Great Again,' but 'M…
We are now at the edge of a toppled country. How can the blind lead the blind? The era of Trumpism has polluted our nation and made its followers more dangerous and rabid.
Citizens of Oregon, we have a golden opportunity. Betsy Johnson has decided that the political left and right are leaning too far in opposite directions. She has resigned from the Senate and is running for governor as an Independent. She plans to take the middle road and do what is best for …
I have lived in many varied places in “the Land of the Free,” the last of those being in one of the most beautiful environs on earth — Douglas County, Oregon. To me, Douglas County is special not only for its environmental beauty but even more so for the caring nature of its residents.
Watching the campaign ads for Alek Skarlatos makes me very concerned because he has no experience in government.
I am an old, proud veteran, and decided to go to the Douglas County Fair, which I had not done in decades.
It’s obvious now that Trump has tried to steal top secret government documents. He defied a subpoena months ago leaving the FBI/ DOJ no other choice but to go get it. Especially when, God forbid, it could involve nuclear secrets. It’s a serious felony with potential jail time.
Because of Salem's denial-of-funds threat, an LBGTQ indoctrination is now present in every Oregon public school grade level. While lessons are merged with legitimate objectives, a pervasive inculcation of activist thinking emerges loud and clear over a 684-page plan.
In reference to R.A. Woldt's letter (The News-Review, Aug. 11) to use veterinarians to educate people about dogs.
Well, the Democrats have crossed the line The raid on Donald Trumps' house is the most outlandish abuse of power by federal agencies I've seen in my life Using federal agencies to stop a political opponent is what this is all about. And it's wrong.
In 1996, a bipartisan group of senators led by Oregon’s own Ron Wyden worked to write the “26 words that created the internet.” Section 230 codified First Amendment protections for tech platforms, empowering them to moderate harmful content like hate speech or misinformation.
For those who have dogs and walk them, I am surprised that the veterinarians of the area do not publish advice in this newspaper regarding safety guidelines for walking/exercising dogs when the temperatures start to climb.
A recent letter to The News-Review's Public Forum asserted "Evangelical Christian Extremism (ECT) is the United States' version of ISIS. The degree of Evangelical solicitation of the GOP is a threat to our country's religious freedoms."
I recently read something on the web that struck home, perhaps it may strike home with you: "A vote is not a Valentine, your not confessing your love for the candidate. It's a chess move for the world you want to live in".
Tina Kotek believes that everyone should have the right to live somewhere in security, peace, and dignity. She has been a leader advocating for solving homelessness by accessing services, to working for affordable housing and increasing home ownership. She also helped during the pandemic and…
William Duckett in his Letter to the Editor on Thursday (The News-Review), asks “Why are we still conducting hearings on Jan. 6?” He then asks his own one-sided questions, but the answers are still pretty easy. The Committee Hearings continue because every one of them uncovers new informatio…
I was going to write a letter rebutting some of the things about President Trump I've read in recent letters, but after thinking about it I decided to keep it short and sweet.
A recent editorial was asking why the Jan 6 hearings are lasting so long. Perhaps it is because many of the people requested to testify refuse or ignore to testify.
The climate and tax bill that has passed the Senate and is assured passage by the House has in it, among other things: The most substantial investment in history to counter the warming of the planet, a more equitable tax code, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, reducing the federal def…

Thank you to the City of Sutherlin, Wayne Ellsworth, Umpqua Heart and the other supporters for their work at Hastings Village.
I am greatly concerned about my country. So many citizens have split up into so many different views and have likewise joined into groups that agree in ideas. It seems as if many are following purely social media that agrees with their views. Problem is that the individual authors of groups …
Quoting from Dana Milbank: “Against that quarter-century of ruin, what we are living through today is just a continuation of the GOP’s direction for the past 30 years: the appeals to white nationalism, the sabotage of the functions of government, the routine embrace of disinformation, stokin…
Please help raise awareness of veterans’ health care
Our Douglas County Fair is just around the corner. No question, fair time is fun time. It will also be an important opportunity for you to help make a better Oregon. How?
If the title had not already been taken, you could label the Jan. 6 Committee "The Never Ending Story." Why is it lasting so long and why is it so limited in its scope?
My cell phone rang. “I am ok,” my husband Kyle reassured me in an unsteady voice. Why wouldn’t he be ok? Three hours earlier he had texted that clearing the Pacific Crest Trail was going great! Because Roseburg temperatures were in the upper 90s, the Oregon Equestrian Club trail clearing vol…
Community-oriented newspapers protect our democracy
With a heavy heart I write my concerns about the country’s current collision with violence and fascism. I’ve been thinking a lot about this. Never before have I personally felt a potential danger by simply expressing my opinion in public. Many thanked me for my last letter to the editor. Whe…
I would like to comment on the Douglas County Commissioners decision not to pursue paving Roscoe Road in Green.
The prayer Jesus Christ made for every person in this world then and now.
Evangelical Christian Extremism (ECT) is the United States' version of ISIS. The degree of Evangelical solicitation of the GOP is a threat to our countries religious freedoms. The conservative Supreme Court justices portraying themselves as interpreters of the original definition of the Bill…
The Supreme Court recently ruled that the Second Amendment protects a person's right to carry guns because it was recognized as "fundamental," "natural" when the amendment was ratified. Like the First, the Second Amendment does not grant liberty; it restrains government interference, as does…
To the gentleman in line with his son at Walmart who struck up a conversation with my 92 year old neighbor and then paid for her purchase — thank you!
Thank you to Donovan Brink, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and The News-Review for reminding everyone floating the North Umpqua River that the water is cold, and can be a dangerous shock to anyone without a life jacket (“Hot and cold consequences” The News-Review, July 22). The story sa…
