Kudos to Elizabeth City City Councilmen Darius Horton and Johnnie Walton on insisting upon an audit prior to the arrival of our new city manager.

Is there truth anymore? I just finished reading a column by a local columnist entitled, “Hoping Trump goes the way of McCarthy, Nixon.”

I wanted to pass on a little perspective that was recently shared with me. In no way is this meant to imply that the number of people who have already died from COVID-19 isn’t staggering or that the number of deaths that may be ahead of us isn’t unthinkable.

Tom Campbell's column in the Oct. 2 edition of The Daily Advance on term limits for officeholders got me to thinking about what I think of the subject of term limits for all public officials — local, state and federal.

I’m really sorry that I did not write this. I saw it online. I love it.

Why does Donald Trump refuse to concede the election to President-elect Joe Biden?

As I ponder Donald Trump’s loss I think back to why he was elected in the first place. The electorate was fed up with the Obama administration and wanted anyone who was not a career politician to be president and Trump was the only person running in the 2016 primaries that fit that bill.

The story about the Habit Building in Edenton being sold brings back a ton of memories.

Veterans Day, established on Nov. 11, 1919, marks the end of World War I. That war, World War II, the Korean Conflict, the Vietnam War, the war against terrorism — all were fought with blood and treasure to pay for our democracy.

Our America has faced and conquered four existential crises in over 240 years.

This letter was going to be a commentary on President Donald Trump’s supposed takeover of control of the pandemic himself and eliminating the doctors, but I decided on something more to the heart.

Thomas Jefferson said, "Fix reason firmly in her seat, and to her tribunal, call every fact, every opinion...."

In response to a letter published in your Oct. 2 edition titled, “Let employees follow precedent, raise own pay,” I’ll say that on the surface, it sounds like a good idea, especially to the employees.

On Tuesday, the remaining voters will go to the polls and decide who we want as our elected leaders.

I find that during election years my beliefs are always in conflict.

In his poem, "If," Rudyard Kipling lists, perhaps, 15 to 20, standards for measuring a man. If you meet these standards, Kipling says, you'll be a man." Let's change "man" to "a thoughtful, mature adult."

A certain letter-writer to your newspaper apparently would have us believe that anyone who refuses to worship President Trump is an enemy of the state who deserves to be thrown to the lions.
