“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.

Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation must hold health insurance companies accountable for leaving Americans with kidney failure behind.

For the first time since 2007, there are more registered Republican voters than Democrats in Bucks County, the county’s Republican Committee recently announced.

Ah! The political noise and chatter that precede the November elections are already growing to a bothersome level and will only get worse as time goes on.

Running along Creamery Road in New Hope, I couldn’t help but notice a kaleidoscope of different campaign signs that lined my route: Trump, Biden, Fitzpatrick, Ehasz — all names peculiarly positioned above the election year 2024.

People read the Herald for stories they can’t get anywhere else, not for news they can get virtually everywhere else. That’s why you won’t find coverage of the assassination attempt on our news pages this week.

The Republican platform has been approved and paints a picture of what the next four years look like if Donald Trump wins.

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?

Frankly, when judging someone who is essentially applying for the job of President of the United States, is a debate an accurate measure?
