Rowan congressmen stand with Trump …

No Sen. Thom Tillis, the real issues are concerned with the general welfare of the most valuable asset our nation possesses, its people.

Securing the border, rebuilding a well-established military and cutting taxes should not be the top priorities.

— Reginald Brown

Democrats already the have 218 votes needed to impech.

Do it now.

Trump is a crook. Anybody that can’t admit that is a liar.

— William Moffitt

Push the impeachment through already so this can go to a Senate trial. Then, lawyers from both sides can subpoena anyone and everyone who has anything or claimed to know something. Then, put them under oath and really turn this thing into a circus.

Salisbury candidates discuss race relations, economy

We are grateful to the candidates and citizens in attendance. We hope and pray people will get to know the views of the candidates, register and vote.

Letter: As times change, activities   for kids do, too

I agree. We need more positive things for kids to do like we did back in the day. That was real fun.

— Chris Null

Cal Thomas: Climate activist doesn’t know it all at age 16

In the 1960s I heard about an ice age. A couple decades later, it was global warming.

When we didn’t get glaciers in our backyard and our crops didn’t burn, the “eco-warriors” changed their warnings to climate change in order to cover all their bases.

I-85 work will close exit 79 Monday night

Why do our roads not last? This road is relatively new.

Does our infrastructure just become planned to fail?

— Mark Lyerly

Leonard Pitts Jr.: Rambling, pathetic Trump …

Although I do not agree with one of your assumptions, there is something to be said by your analogy.

Captain Queeg in your insane evaluation is supposed to be President Trump. Queeg was was found guilty by the original hearing, which is supposed to be Congress.

However in your haste to characterize your caricature of Trump, you forget that Captain Queeg was found innocent.

— Peter Degen

Blotter: Salisbury man charged with trafficking opioids

The disgusting “kiddie tickler” bond is lower that the opioid trafficker. That’s crazy.

Adam Sotak: House Bill 655 could be good compromise …

This is great news for the working poor and for rural hospital systems in N.C. It’s good to see this compromise bill has support from both GOP and Democrats in the state legislature.

— Doug Sokolowski

Ask Us: ‘Fame’ vandalism investigation …

Are there any leads on who is responsible for the distribution of propaganda promiting a white supremacist terrorist organization in our community about the same time as these vandalism incidents?

It seems to me that is a far greater threat to the residents here than a little paint on a Jim Crow monument.

— Mike-o Martelli

The monument needs to stay where it is at. It was put there for a purpose and has not offended anyone until now. The younger generation does not know the real meaning to any of the monuents.

— Ann Faggart McIntyre

… Where rock icon plays, Salisbury physician is sure …

I remember Eric Clapton from the early days of Cream and my 4 track player and Disraeli Gears. I still play songs off the album on my Stratocaster.

— Steve Berry

I am also a Clapton superfan. I don’t have money to do the things he has, but I have seen him eight times and have most of his music. He is phenomenal.

— Carol Smith

450 to be laid off at Daimler’s Cleveland plant

Trucking companies are begging for drivers. This is your chance to see the U.S.A. on someone else’s dime and get paid for it as well.

— Nancy and Jim Sargent

I’m mad, and I’m not getting laid off, yet.

— Brian Bowler

In first update, United Way hits 20% of campaign goal

I am proud of the Corriher-Lipe Middle School staff.

They work hard each day to reach goals but even more so when they see a need, especially a need to help others.

It truly helps when Mrs. April Williamson leads the staff. She motivates the staff in a very engaging and positive manner to always do their best.

— Paula Marko Sloop

Connor will be honored at Oct. 12 …

Darrell continues to spread his talents on multiple instruments, playing the early country artists songs. He gives freely back to our community.

I can’t think of any musician more deserving of accolades than him. He has become a local treasure.

— Patrick Colleen Carman

I love all types of music — classical, gospel, rock and roll, pop and country — Darrell is a fantastic musician.

— Carolyn Cauble Brown
