The United States should offer help to put out the fires in the Amazon Rainforest. It has been on fire for three weeks with no media coverage. The Amazonas are integral to our environment. This is about saving the Earth.
In response to the article ("Palm trees would get protections under ordinance," The Daily News, Aug. 12): I'm so glad Galveston is finally seeing the beauty of the palms on Galveston Island.
I wonder if anybody remembers what happened to Texas Bus Lines, which ran from Galveston to Houston. It would travel up state Highway 6 to Alvin and down state Highway 35 to Houston.
I just read David Stanowski's guest column ("Reynolds v. Sims is why socialists dominate Texas," The Daily News, Aug. 22) and had a little trouble understanding what he was saying.
In response to the article ("DA, Neely attorneys talking mental health help deal," The Daily News, Aug. 15): No doubt Donald Neely's recent arrest is cause for concern.
In response to the letter by Michael Sartor ("Banning the sale of firearms won't stop violence," The Daily News, Aug. 15): He makes a valid point. In addition, even if gun sales are banned, what do you do about the 300 million firearms already privately owned in this country?
I’m responding to the article regarding Galveston leaders asking the infamous question if the residents can get along with the tourist that come to the city throughout the year, which is mainly during the summer ("More meetings planned to hash out interlocal agreement," The Daily News, Aug. 14).
In response to the article ("Proposal meant to put port's back to the wall, Yarbrough says," The Daily News, July 26): The fight is to get control of money generated by the cruise industry. Both contestants are representing Galveston and hold titles as “public servants” — effectively. The wi…
The rhetoric of the current president is aimed at the people most likely to vote for him. They're mainly the anti-abortion people, the fanatical gun people, and the neo-Confederates and other far right wing groups. This is where his votes come from.
When I saw the picture of the two officers transporting the black prisoner down the streets of Galveston with the rope tied to him, I thought I had somehow been transported back in time to the mid '60s when sights like this were often observed. I can't imagine how something as atrocious as t…
Frustrated and feeling helpless about people being held at our border with Mexico? Wish you could help those being detained?
How could any person with an ounce of intelligence honestly believe banning the sale of firearms will end mass shootings?
In response to the letter by Gaylon Ray ("We need to go back to being a Christian nation," The Daily News, Aug. 9): I understand his point of view. However, the values of "Love your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind;" and "Love your neighbor as yourself" are not exclu…
Like millions, I watched horror overtake El Paso and Dayton. I felt sick, sad and overwhelmed — again. Like millions, I prayed for everyone touched by this evil.
President Trump accurately pointed out America’s most dangerous city, Baltimore, is infested with rats and Democrats. He left out the rest of that story. All great American cities run by Democrats are having the same problems. High crime, high taxes, failed and more expensive schools, failed…
Thinking more with your heart is so simple. Try following where your heart takes you. Kindness goes a long ways. We all feel so much better when we do good for others.
I have no faith in Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz to do the right thing. Their failure as public servants will not stop me from doing my duty as a citizen.
Obviously, the image displayed in the newspaper of the two mounted policemen leading a man with a rope is "bad optics.” Their actions and poor judgement are inexcusable.
I've visited Texas several times, notably for a friend's wedding in Galveston in the early 1990s in October. I wondered at the time why those in my party were the only ones in the water. Later I learned that the water was considered too cold at that time of the year except for those of us fr…
Congratulations Galveston Police Department for being voted the most racist town in America. I guess you must love that title, as you've showed the rest of the country how racist you truly are.
