LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Constitution not to be toyed with
Andrew P. Napolitano's "U.S. Constitution shredded by dangerous elected officials" (Web, May 6) is outstanding. In his past few columns, Mr. Napolitano has regained his lucid defense of conservative values in articulating the textual essence that the Constitution says what it means and means what it says. Published May 7, 2020
EDITORIAL: Anti-Trump agents should face genuine judgment
Virus has compromised the FBI and Department of Justice. And like the rest of America, the law enforcement agencies are bedeviled by COVID-19 as well. It's a plague of dirty justice. Published May 6, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Most federal workers not ‘swamp’
The vast majority of federal government workers are members of the civil service, not members of the "swamp." They display no political bias as they fulfill the duties assigned to them. Their mission is to support the American people and implement the laws of the land. Published May 6, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Re-evaluate cash-sucker programs
President Reagan once said that the closest thing to eternal life is a federal program. Unfortunately, once it's started it is rarely evaluated, and unexpected results may be causing more damage than could ever have been anticipated. Two examples are the federal highway construction programs and the welfare programs. Published May 6, 2020
EDITORIAL: A coronavirus test of inventiveness
Forget the age-old precept that there is nothing new under the sun. The coronavirus couldn't have startled humankind more than the sudden arrival of aliens from space. Published May 5, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Blue states must stop cash grab
America is reeling. We are in the midst of both a public-health and an economic emergency. But that hasn't halted the greed of blue-state politicians. Published May 5, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Freedom for safety a bad trade
"Have a nice day" has changed to "Stay safe." Everything these days is "for your safety" and "to keep you safe." But some things are more important than safety, such as freedom. The American Revolution and world wars I and II were not at all "safe," but they were necessary. More than 50 million died worldwide as a result. Published May 5, 2020
EDITORIAL: NCAA makes an unjust system a little fairer
The biggest news to hit the sports world in decades was announced last week by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA): Student athletes will soon be free to earn money from endorsements. Published May 4, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Judge Judy for president
Some of our elected officials' predictions and pronouncements regarding the COVID-19 pandemic have been shown to be false, others overstated. The hospital ship Comfort was mostly vacant; the temporary beds in the Javits Center were not needed; and the reports on the scarcity of ventilators, masks and protective gear created an undue atmosphere of anxiety and unease. Published May 4, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Law-abiding citizens’ right to work
Governors must not treat adults with constitutional rights like children with privileges. This means constitutional rights may not simply be revoked the way a parent revokes their children's privileges. Published May 4, 2020
EDITORIAL: China should pay for its contagion
Whether the disease escaped from a lab or a meat market, there is little doubt it was a product of China, and that authorities were negligent in alerting world health officials until it was too late to halt its spread. Published May 3, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Anti-guns is anti-U.S.
John R. Lott Jr.'s "Using the COVID-19 pandemic to justify a gun ban" (Web, April 27) demonstrates that the real motive animating the anti-gun lobby is eradicating legal firearm ownership. Published May 3, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Biden not of sound mind
So Joe Biden has finally come forward to deny former Senate staffer Tara Reade's sexual-assault allegations against him ("Joe Biden denies allegation of sexual assault: 'This never happened,'" Web, May 1). It's probably fair to say Mr. Biden doesn't remember whether it happened or not. That doesn't make an investigation any less important, and it certainly doesn't make the charge any less serious. Published May 3, 2020
EDITORIAL:How to save the Postal Service
The U.S. Postal Service has been sick for a long time. The coronavirus has put it on the critical list at the same time we're more dependent on it, especially for packages with essential supplies, medicine and even food because of the self-quarantine imposed on most all of us. What to do? Published April 30, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Kudos to Constitution upholders
The COVID-19 pandemic hysteria is changing nearly every institution in society at a rapid pace, not the least of which is law enforcement. Under the current flurry of executive orders suggesting (and in some cases mandating) social distancing, law-enforcement officers have been reduced to middle-school hall monitors ("In COVID-19 America, freedom is a privilege subject to government permission slips," Web, April 29). Published April 30, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Biden would ruin U.S.
Some fear the results of the pandemic will usher Joseph Biden right into the White House. Wouldn't he and former Georgia Rep. Stacey Abrams make a great team? Published April 30, 2020
EDITORIAL: Reckless policies expose seniors to COVID-19 death
Thanks to unwise policies crafted by public officials, thousands of seniors have lost their lives when forced into close proximity with infected cohabitants. Published April 29, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: China’s government must pay
The regime in China will not be able to escape the bundles of angry lawsuits and claims, including asset confiscations, that will continue to emerge following the release of the deadly coronavirus. Published April 29, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Ensure future sufficient supplies
The one enormous elephant in the room is fact that despite president after president, Anthony Fauci and others alerting our nation of an impending viral pandemic, our elected officials on Capitol Hill did not prepare us for COVID-19 at all. The fault lies with both political parties. Published April 29, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Bring law-dodging Dems to justice
If House Speaker Pelosi, Sen. Schumer and the despicable Rep. Schiff were working for a company in the private sector and had pulled the rotten acts they've pulled on the American people and our president, they would have been fired long ago. If they were in the military and had colluded to undermine an operation during combat, putting people's lives in danger, more than likely they would have been shot or thrown in jail and tried for treason.
