A recently released U.N. report warns of another alarming impact worsened by the climate crisis — the extinction of an estimated million species. As disturbing as that prediction is, based on public reaction it appears that the implications are either being misunderstood or recklessly ignored.

Why is it important to take care of our mental health? Whether an illness affects your heart, your leg or your brain, there should be no distinction. All areas of mental health should be treated with the same attention and care.

The Mueller Report finds no basis for collusion and there will be no indictments for obstruction, so let’s move on. Impeachment is warranted by rule of law but is not relevant to anyone concerned with health care, wages, climate change, human rights, infrastructure, education, or immigration…

Nearly all American families have stories like my Uncle Charlie’s, who died in France in 1944. Although he was given the Silver Star, I never met him, as I was 6 months old when he was killed. I wish I had known him, as those who did later told me he was a great guy.

Progressives, Walter Johnsons and Debbie and Dickie Downers of our country tell us to look to Norway, Sweden, and Finland as examples of how wonderful life is under socialism for the people of those countries. So I did.

The May 21 opening of beautiful Oceanview Beach Park on Jekyll Island was a further demonstration that Jekyll is becoming a model of handicap accessibility.

There are people who ask me — What is so bad about the Islands Planning Commission? They have never attended a meeting.

Referencing Kyle Wingfield’s column on dropping letter grading in schools in the state of Georgia: There have been many states that did and went back to the A-F grading later. Perhaps we should ask those folks, why, before we spend a lot of money doing something that is right out of a George…

I’ve come to realize that while a majority on St. Simons Island are upset about the uncontrollably dense development which is going on here, most are directing their frustration at the Board of Commissioners (BOC) and staff in the hope that they will change their 40-year-old ways and do some…

As a junior at Glynn Academy, I have firsthand experience with the issues that students face. The major issue is campus security. The campus itself is completely open to the outside, with runners passing through grounds on many occasions. Students are not allowed to leave or return to the ca…

Regarding the recent traffic snarls on the F.J. Torras Causeway, there is one thing that Glynn County drivers need to learn and it’s called the “zipper merge.” Traffic experts now agree that the best way to handle a lane closure is to do a “late merge.”

Who did the planning for the new crosswalk on Frederica Road?

The GOP and Trump keep trying to scare Americans about immigrants, and sadly some people keep taking the bait. Using the fear of ‘others’ is a tried and true political ploy, something the GOP relies heavily on.

As captain of the Tall Ship Lynx, we were recently in your beautiful Golden Isles. I must tell you of the wonderful reception your community put forward to us.

In response to Mr. Hudson’s letter published on May 9, I like to provide some facts to clarify the record and help us all learn how to reduce the stupidity and viciousness of our ourselves and all humanity.

Thankfully, I’m now observing the actions of the left-wing politicians and media with some amusement. It sure beats the alternative.

I just finished reading the editorial in the Brunswick News titled “Help us honor local soldiers killed in Vietnam.” It is very admirable The Brunswick News would take up this endeavor to find pictures of these brave men who lost their lives in a foreign land, in what was then an unpopular w…

In the near future one million plants and animals will become extinct due to loss of habitat and environment changes. More people than ever are living in fear and have food insecurity. People are fleeing poor and violent countries in hopes of finding a secure place to live. More than a milli…

We are soon to be 18 years in Afghanistan. That’s a trillion dollars and 2,300 American funerals with 20,000 wounded, which we will need to care for over decades. What was that for? And Iraq, who benefited from that?

The letter to the editor by Felton Hudson in the Thursday May 9 issue of The Brunswick News is truly a classic, and I am framing it and hanging it in my living room. Any real American should do the same.

I read with interest the article on the Family Promise Program, and I hope it can return. I say return because Glynn County had a Family Promise program in the 2000s. I was a volunteer. I’m not sure who was in charged or how many churches were involved, but I helped with families at First Pr…

Between the years 1933 and 1945, Germany created almost 20,000 concentration camps —mostly for work collections. We are familiar with those which involved the Jewish Solution — places like Dachau, Buchenwald, Treblinka or Auschwitz etc. These places of horror housed not only Jews, but many o…

We applaud your editorial, “Support efforts to preserve Brunswick’s past.”

Many people in general, many of your readers, and most of your columnists engage in identity politics and denunciations or promotion of “-isms” to the point of disfunction. Disfunction, because these terms mean different things to different people.

Sanders and AOC are “Democratic Socialists.”

Again our little island is paralyzed with traffic as these incredibly brave individuals hang off a helicopter doing god knows what. Two weeks ago, it took two hours to move around the island because Mother Nature tipped a truck over blocking three lanes of traffic on the causeway.

I have just returned from the Coastal Georgia honor flight to Washington D.C., and while the memories are still vivid, I want to highlight some unexpected benefits we, the veterans received. Prior to the flight, the veterans attended a luncheon introducing us to our well-trained volunteer gu…

Some folks say other folks are trying to scare good folks about socialism, its effects and consequences. Nope. Other folks are speaking about socialism based on history, facts, truth, and personal experience. Something some folks prefer not happen and particularly don’t want good folks who t…

I would like to bring a very important meeting to the attention of your readers , especially those who live on St. Simons Island.
