• Letters to the Editor: The climate situation is bad but not hopeless. We must fight for change

    To the editor: The Times' editorial board issues yet another dire warning about the health of our planet. Record-breaking heat due to fossil fuel emissions shows we are headed in the wrong direction. These grim facts might leave readers discouraged and hopeless. While there is damage that we may not be able to fix, it's not too late to heal our Earth. Indeed, we have seen other seemingly hopeless situations change. My grandmothers couldn't vote when they came of age. There were racial covenants...

  • Letters to the Editor: Latinos have Jewish allies in the fight for a Gaza cease-fire

    To the editor: It is distressing that columnist Gustavo Arellano equates the entire Jewish community with the right-wing lobby group American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, and therefore claims there is a schism between the Jewish community and Latinos, many of whom oppose Israel's assault on the Gaza Strip. Many Jews throughout the United States, and certainly in Los Angeles, are working tirelessly to end the genocide and allow Palestine to, at long last, be free. Jewish Voice for...

  • Letters to the Editor: Help a neighbor

    In response to editorial on ceasefire I read today’s paper while visiting my in-laws in Lowell and your recent editorial called for a permanent Gaza ceasefire, did not include hostage release. First, Hamas repeatedly declared its intention to carry out multiple Oct 7ths and called for Oct 13th as a day to kill Jews a […]

    Slow and steady global growth

    The International Monetary Fund reported today that the global economy has shown “remarkable resilience” and that growth is expected to hold steady at 3.2% this year. But that’s low by historical standards. Plus, why there’s weaker demand for Treasurys, how restaurant chains scout locations and why Warner Bros. is shelving “Coyote vs. Acme.” Beep beep!

  • Letter to the editor: Colleges' useful idiots

    The Abraham Accords -- signed by Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Israel and Bahrain in 2020 -- were gaining traction.

  • Letter to the editor: Nothing 'controlled' about the border

    The Democratic Party leadership wants more funding to hire more Border Patrol agents so they can process and allow more immigrants into our country -- and then distribute those people throughout the United States.

  • Warming temperatures with some rain chances this week

    HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) -- A shift in the weather pattern is coming our way. Above the surface, the trough or dip in the jet stream that led to the cooler air filtering into the region will shift northeast. A ridge of high pressure will build in from the west helping to filter in warm air []

  • Letters to the Editor, April 22, 2024

    MAD, MAD WORLD It’s not only dismaying, but baffling to see modern day fascism continuing to fill our streets with hate and evil. Professional, genocide-chanting social justice martyrs are gladly professing their support for terrorists who murder, rape and torture. It is beyond comprehension that people today can knowingly and deliberately choose to side with […]

  • Letter to the editor: "Squad" are racist traitors

    I was reading an article last week about members of the "Squad" demanding that anti-Jewish protesters be released and allowed to resume their terrorist-supporting activities -- and I have to say, this just shows that these members of Congress hate Jews.

  • Letter to the editor: Trump-Gabbard 2024

    Tulsi Gabbard is the smartest and bravest potential vice presidential candidate in America right now, in my opinion, because she speaks the truth.

  • Very warm day Thursday, chance of storms

    There will be some clouds around in the morning as well as the threat of fog. Watch for reduced visibility in areas of dense fog. Temperatures on Thursday will be soaring into the mid-80s in the afternoon with a light south wind. Data continues to show the chance of some pop-up showers or storms by []

  • Letters to the Editor (4/17/24)

    Flipped Eclipse? I think the time-lapse picture of the eclipse on the cover of the April 10 issue is flipped. We watched from Montpelier, and the shadow wedge entered from the bottom and traveled up the sun. After totality, there was a sudden wedge of bright white light at the bottom that looked like the sun was shining a spotlight on us. It was not the golden sunlight; it was brilliant white and produced sharp-edged shadows. At the end, there was not the wedge we started with; rather, it looked...
