In response to attack on police and abortion

Dear Editor: In response to Megan Brown letter of August 26.I‚ve read others letters you have written to paper and they all have same thing conman; you are unhappy with the City of Sallisaw and the police force and how cruel it is. I have a thought for you; leave, maybe California or any where there are more like-minded folks; and don‚t let the gate hit you in the butt on your way out. Now I just ignored you because I had written you off as someone who probably was displeased with our Christian Lord and savor Jesus. But when you started calling our men and women on the police force; who do the dirty and dangerous work that not many are capable of or would want to do Cowards; I had to tell you what a thankless person you are.

I will leave you with a bit of warning or knowledge. Read if you will (Matthew 18:6–10) and I would hope that you read and believe (I Corinthians 15: 1-4—Romans 10:9) this I give to you with the hope that you read and heed; and believe then you will have more peace and happiness if you will just believe it. And know this the greatest regret in hell will be the thought “I didn‚t have to be here.” I tried to put as much Christian love in this as I could.

To Donna Fuller; thou shall not kill or murder; you know “Who” said that without me telling you. (Genesis 6-7) you condemned our senator who voted against sending a baby to another state that allowed murdering babies which we don‚t; thank God. Then you put him down for saying a 13-year-old can consent to sex. You think that a 13-year-old does not know right from wrong in this day. He didn‚t say that it was right. But look at what the schools are doing with our children and you have no comment on that.

You just spin all the Liberal dogma communist crap of concern of babies that no one will want or they will be poor or no one wants them. Comparing taking a vaccine is not the same thing a carrying a baby. You quote states of how many wants abortion, don‚t make it right with GOD. Amen.

(From the Sept. 29, 1944, issue of the Sequoyah County Times) –Announcement was made Monday by Bill Wiley that he had sold the Sallisaw Sale Barn to Noah Sparks. Sparks stated that he would continue to hold the regular Saturday sale and would operate the barn through the week as a trading barn if there is sufficient patronage to justify its daily operation.

—George Sallee who is sponsoring a barn dance Saturday night at the Community Building in Sallisaw announced today that the starting time for the dance had been changed from 9 p.m. to 8 p.m. and that the closing time from 1 a.m. Sunday morning to 12 a.m. Saturday night.

Sallee stated that the Oklahoma Cowboys who are

Sovereignty, strength and success Dear Editor, The bible teaches us to not be unequally yoked together: it asks the question, “How can two walk together except they be agreed?” also except the Lord build the house the men labor in vain: and a house divided cannot stand.

We the people dislike powers that do not answer to us and were not empowered by us. We the people do not want our sovereignty surrendered to the UN, or NATO. We despise appointed powers that wield their authority to arrest and act as judge and jury without taking their information to Congress or some Federal Judges for a warrant. How can these organizations rule over us as they deem necessary? Just to name a few, IRS, FBI, OSHA, OPEC, BLM, EPA, UN, NATO, CFR and DOJ.

I‚m not saying they are worthless but I am saying they have too much power over us; let them investigate and take their findings to our elected officials for permission to exercise further action because our elected officials must answer to us, we the people. If we understand the simple fact that we must be a sovereign Nation to survive, then why are we making contracts with other Nations like Russia, China and Iran. They are not concerned about our welfare, but our destruction: therefore we must always be self supporting: when we trade with them it must be fair and we must not rely entirely on them for our necessities like oil, food, medicine and technology.

If we must deny ourselves in order to be in agreement with others, we place ourselves at their mercy, which is idiotic. We should never allow a foreign country to buy land, business or corporations within the USA. When we allow our military, morals and economy to become weak, we are automatically vulnerable to other nations. We will experience the same troubles that Ukraine is experiencing right now, if we the people do not demand that our elected officials put our house in order and stay sovereign, strong and self supporting.

There is only way for this nation to survive: Quit walking and talking against God, bible, church and God‚s people and join in with loud praises promoting Jesus Christ, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. When ungodly people try to force their ungodly lifestyle into the indoctrination of school children and accuse righteous people of trying to cram our religion down their throat, it is a tactic from the Devil. Righteousness needs to be taught, also unrighteousness needs to be taught while we still know the difference.
