If only we could vote Phil Keith off writing his ridiculous column.
Mr. Keith insults Republicans and Conservatives by claiming to be one of us [“Too Close For Comfort,” Mostly Right, December 3]. He hasn’t any credentials to argue otherwise in spite of his self-promoting, which, by the way, makes him appear more like The Donald than he’d like to admit.
In admitting that an enormous turnout of 70 million voters supported the reelection of Trump, he inadvertently acknowledges that his fringe “Never Trump” vote amounted to a mere fraction of votes cast. By extension, his opinion on the Republican Party is irrelevant and insults those of us who actually know what we are talking about.
“Mostly Wrong” would be a more accurate title for your column, Mr. Keith, and, as you know, of course, I am “Mostly Right.”

Our NeighborsThere was a post that appeared on Facebook from 27east describing the anti-ICE demonstration in Westhampton Beach on Friday, November 14. Scrolling through the comments, I was horrified to see the worst of human nature in print. The video showed...
Owed Full TruthCongressman Nick LaLota’s latest newsletter suggests that either he thinks we, his constituents, are ignorant, or that he, our representative, is willfully ignoring and misrepresenting the public facts. First, contrary to his statement that he supports “expos[ing] the full [Epstein]...
Who's To Blame?It is Ed Surgan [“Warped View,” Letters, November 20] who seems to have the warped view. He lays the blame for the level of illegal immigration in our country squarely with the Democrats, but there has not been a successfully...
