The author of the letter to the editor in your June 26th edition was right on — all lives matter. Also, if persons sought by law enforcement would comply with police’s request, they would not be shot. When you point any kind of weapon at the police they will have to respond to save their own lives.

Conservatives accept that problems are just a part of life. More accurately, they accept that other people's problems are just a part of life. Their own problems are of course a sign that some evil conspiracy or another is at work.

I'm writing in response to two recent stories: "ECSU eyes building skybridge first," and "Edenton eyes system for detecting gunshots," both published in your July 16 edition.

Americans get riled up when they hear the word “mandate,” as in “mask mandate” and “ vaccination mandate.”

I have a question to all elected officials in Elizabeth City:

At this point in the Biden presidency, America is firmly divided into two groups. One that is completely embarrassed by Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris and one pretending that they aren’t. The fact that Biden has the authority to launch missiles when he can barely read off a telepromp…

After reading a writer’s letter to the editor titled “Womble’s claim of danger to deputies not shown,” I was reminded of a recent conversation I had with a young man pertaining to that very subject. I agreed with the letter writer.

The first time I voted for a president it was for Dwight D. Eisenhower, a Republican. My dad had a fit over my violation the rule of the Solid South — to always vote Democratic.

Many unused oil wells and mines are unplugged or uncapped and are causing much air pollution. The Biden administration has a plan to plug or cap, as needed, at a cost that will be paid by citizens in general.

I was interested to read Staff Writer Paul Nielsen’s story, “Council OKs $15 hourly wage for all full-time workers” in Thursday’s edition. I wonder how many readers understood that, aside from a few city workers, the wage increase will affect almost no one in Elizabeth City?

In response to your July 10 story about the new electric vehicle charging station at the McDonald’s at Tanglewood, what a great idea. It will be very handy for travelers who are always trying to make good time by being able to make one stop and “kill 3 birds with one stone”: eat lunch, use t…

The Big Lie spewing out of Donald Trump’s mouth is destroying Trump’s moral/spiritual nature — if he ever had one.

The mural on Colonial Avenue is divisive. This was evidenced by the tire marks on the mural and the arrest of someone for vandalizing it. Although a single individual was arrested the view that the mural is divisive is the opinion of many residents of Elizabeth City.

The Chinese Communist Party has been buying silver by the truck load for a number of years. In so doing, it was presumed that the motive was to replace the American dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Now, the International Monetary Fund has a plan to flood the world’s economy with as mu…

Elizabeth City City Council member Johnnie Walton said during a recent city council meeting that the city has enough elementary schools, raising the question: Why do we need someone to start another one at Christ Episcopal Church?

I have read and accepted that many people in the Roman Empire thought that the followers of Jesus were cultists and cannibals who ate flesh and drank blood. They probably thought Jesus’ stories were just as ridiculous as some on the left now think that stories of Clintons and others drinking…
