You don't need a reason to own a gun.
As a Vietnam-era veteran, it was interesting to read about the telephone town hall meeting with Cathy McMorris-Rodgers last Thursday regarding VA patient complaints with the new Cerner electronic health records system.
Did you know the COVID-19 vaccines are free? It's true. Whether you have insurance or not, no one pays to get the shot(s).
We can have clean energy that doesn’t rely on carbon-emitting fossil fuels, windmills that kill birds or dangerous nuclear energy.
It appears that when the "real river data" contradicts the agenda at hand, the proper thing to do is quit collecting the offending data and also make the offending historical data previously collected unavailable to the general public.
For those who voted for Joe Biden, this is what you voted for. You were warned by President Trump that this would happen. As I write this letter, this information has not appeared in the U-B. Apparently the U-B editors do not care either. Fortunately, we have Fox News and One America News reporting it.
The way it's shaping up, this may become the driest (and, for me, the most boring skyscape) April on record. A quick look at the regional and global wind directions will show a jet stream that's all messed up! Interesting times.
I am proud to endorse Kathy Mulkerin as candidate for Walla Walla Public School Board director, position 1.
Yes, we do have a housing shortage, but there are many better alternatives to putting a bunch of houses in a location that has proven to be unpopular and dangerous to our children who walk and ride to school on that narrow road. It was and still is a very bad idea that will endanger our children's safety.
One letter writer describes a “sporting” rifle on a table being an inert object. But what is the sport? Is it a bolt action rifle picked up for hunting game? Or is it an AR-15 made to kill as many people as quickly as possible with minimal reloading?
So far, voting against the proposed limits on open carry are our Republican public servants ─ Sen. Perry Dozier, Rep. Mark Klicker and Rep. Skyler Rude. Our representatives must protect civilized behavior. Tell them immediately you expect them to vote "yes" to no weapons in public places.

Problems with this specific Urban Growth Area are many and go back 30 years when it was identified as a UGA under different zoning requirements that were never intended for high-density developments.
Can I add my voice to Steve Singleton's letter of March 31?
The U-B finds a way to cover local news fairly and typically strikes a balance in reporting national and international news. But it feels like the editorial page relentlessly pushes a “progressive” ideology.
I wrote a letter to the Union-Bulletin saying that in 1951 Senator Joe McCarthy called my party the Democrat Party. He also said at …
A modern sporting rifle sitting on your kitchen table is an inert object, incapable of causing harm. It only becomes potentially dangerous (as with any other gun, knife or club) when you, or another person, walks into the room.
If we don’t solve the problem of global warming, none of the rest of them are going to make any difference. Yes, doing something about it is going to have a disproportionate effect on citizens of limited financial means. So does practically everything else.

It is again time to recognize those who work behind the scenes in public safety and serve as the first “first responders” in our Valley.
On March 18, the U-B ran an extensive front-page report regarding the importance of preserving manufactured housing parks as a form …
Recently, several letter writers to this newspaper have bemoaned the fact that the U-B reduced its word count limit for letters to t…
We, as a community, need to create a public U-Pick apple orchard that anyone and everyone is welcome to at any time — for free!
The Editorial Page has been corrupted by Facebook.
Despite the understandable outrage, over the recent mass shootings, we need to keep a few things in perspective. First, millions of …
My opinion material comes from James Morrow. I think we can all agree that the world has become a more dangerous place since Joe Bid…
Regarding the parklets downtown, I only have one concern. There are a few places where the sidewalk is narrowed due to existing outd…
I enjoyed the U-B throughout the 1950s and was even a 1956 carrier of the month. Graduating from Wa-Hi in 1959, I joined the Marines…
