A recent Letter to the Editor criticizing the Republican platform (“GOP platform is full of fantasy,” July 18) used a tactic sometimes referred to as a “presumptive close.
My compliments to the Tinicum Chairperson Eleanor Breslin on her opposing comments about colored lighting proposed for the Frenchtown Bridge (“Tinicum officials: Uhlerstown-Frenchtown Bridge work will slow EMS response,” Aug. 1). A carnival indeed.
Independent voters, beware of “Pink Slime” partisan fake news organizations masquerading as legitimate local news. These sites are taking advantage of the closings of local newspapers. (All the more reason to keep the Herald going.)
On Durham Road north of Durham, on Durham Road farther north, on Route 212 west of Route 611 and on Ballek Road west of Steely Hill, the roadblocks were not the result of hungry ash borers (“Frequent Upper Bucks power outages blamed on emerald ash borer,” July 18).
We are in the midst of the most unusual national election in many of our lifetimes.
“White” was the most disgusting show I have ever seen at Langhorne Players and my wife and I have been coming for 15 years (“‘White’ the latest Langhorne Players show to tackle a tough topic,” July 18).

President Joseph R. Biden’s speech from the Oval Office on July 24 can easily be described as a love letter to the American people.

At the recent presidential debate, virtually every question posed to Donald Trump, regardless of topic, resulted in an over-the-top rant about illegal immigration.
The Republican platform has been approved and paints a picture of what the next four years look like if Donald Trump wins.
In the pursuit of truth, words are important. Good law is practical and objective. Bad law pits good people against one another. When the great American melting pot is stirred, consensus is formed.
Sought-out guidance and prayerful decision by our pastor should be a feeling of assurance, not anger. It was an oppressive challenge to Father Gurkin, in his obligation to lead the congregation.
I realize you try to present a balanced view, but how about adopting this idea? Given that, as we all know, the country is presently divided roughly 50/50 in terms of political views and support, why don’t you adopt a policy of publishing one letter representing each side whenever one or the other comes in?
A guest opinion writer lost me when he claimed, in last week’s Herald, that inflation was 9% when President Biden was inaugurated (“Biden controls neither inflation nor oil prices” July 4).
Donald Trump, leader of the MAGA Party (the Republican Party was hijacked long ago), was given another pass at the debate.
The presidential debate on Thursday night frightens me. I will vote for the Democratic nominee.
