Letter: Balentine parrots Tucker Carlson’s positions
Tucker Carlson has penned a one-act, one-person farcical play entitled “Did I really say that!”, starring John Balentine. SCENE ONE: Curtain rises and Balentine shouts to the audience (composed entirely of vaccinated citizens wearing masks): “… it’s appropriate … to honor laborers … , never take them for granted … they’re all essential” (“Labor Day […]
Letter: Pro-vaxxers should be more compassionate

Letter: Forecaster should stop aiding and abetting Balentine

Letter: It’s ‘un-American’ to discriminate against those who choose not to vaccinate
The column entitled “Those who refuse vaccine are un-American” (Through My Lens, Aug. 13) is written as a defamatory swipe at those who have a different opinion about the COVID jab. It is humorous how Abdi Nor Iftin describes his jab experience with such religious rapture, and he can’t understand why so many people are […]
Letter: ‘Vital service’ not based in fact is not useful
I enjoyed traveling the written road provided by Andrew Young (“Forum: Balentine provides a vital service to Forecaster readers,” July 30), until he came to a fork. To the left, Young stated: “… I find (Balentine’s) commentaries so consistently at odds with reality and facts that I sometimes wonder if (he) actually believes any of […]
