EDITORIAL: Canada resists pressure from China to cave on support for Iran sanctions
Despite enormous contrary pressure, including the taking of Canadian hostages in China, Canada is demonstrating once more reason why it is regarded as one of America's most reliable allies. Published March 10, 2019
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Mourning senseless murders
The case of Christopher Watts captured worldwide attention ("Colorado man discloses details about killing wife, daughters," Web, March 7). Social media has buzzed with discussion groups. The horrific and sudden obliteration of these innocent victims at the hands of their husband and father was unfathomable. Published March 10, 2019
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Climate change cause not settled
The mainstream media, and now conservative media, too, have adopted the term "climate change deniers" or "doubters" for any scientists who have data that does not support all levels of the contention that global warming or climate change is "real, dire and man-made." The mainstream media is proficient in coining names for things to give a negative connotation to anyone not accepting of their preferred spin on an issue. Published March 10, 2019
EDITORIAL: Crisis on the border
There are reasonable objections to President Donald Trump's declaration of a national emergency to use military appropriations to build a barrier on the U.S.-Mexican border. Published March 7, 2019
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: California right to shun fur
As someone who lives in California and is thrilled that state lawmakers are taking steps to ban fur, foie gras and other cruelly produced items, I'd like to respond to "California considers banning fur" (Web, March 4). Published March 7, 2019
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: We must reduce flaring now
As a Texan who believes fossil-fuel use causes climate change, I find Ryan Sitton's March 4 op-ed misleading ("A nightmare for the American dream, and a tyrant's expensive fantasy," Web). Published March 7, 2019
EDITORIAL: Keeping collusion hope alive
Sometimes the defeated deserve pity, but sometimes only retaliation satisfies. Published March 6, 2019
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Left’s witch hunts outrageous
Now eight congressional committees are beginning the interrogation of more than 80 American citizens for the purpose of finding some criminal violation to pin on President Trump so they can either impeach him or force his resignation. Published March 6, 2019
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Democrats bent on destruction
A non-partisan U.S. customs official has claimed that 76,103 "asylum seekers," primarily from Guatemala, illegally crossed our borders in the month of February. Published March 6, 2019
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Insulin just a cash cow
What happens when the demand for a product goes down, or the manufacturer thinks that it will go down in the near future? The price drops ("Drugmaker Eli Lilly announces half-priced generic of its insulin product Humalog," Web, March 4). The good news/bad news story about insulin is that it was and is a lifesaver for Type 1 diabetics, but a lifelong, chronic, disease-causing option for Type 2 diabetics. Published March 5, 2019
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Left must love Pence
Since they would have President Trump impeached tomorrow, the Democrats must love Vice President Mike Pence. After all, Mr. Pence would come into office the moment Mr. Trump was impeached. There would not be another election installing Hillary Clinton or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the Oval Office. Apparently this is news to some. Published March 5, 2019
EDITORIAL: The ISIS bride is entitled to come home and face the consequences of her actions
We've seen unsavory brides in our time, Evita Peron, Imelda Marcos, Eva Braun and the bride of Frankenstein among them. Now comes a new and unfortunate addition to the annals of marital misfortune, "the "ISIS Brides" of the Middle East. Published March 5, 2019
EDITORIAL: States can a lot by attracting immigrants living illegally in the U.S. to pad the census
We've been told by Democrats presuming to know all about such things that open borders comprise a matter of high morality. What they don't say is that open borders are actually a matter of political power and money. As the 2020 census approaches, states are preparing to beat the bushes to turn up every last resident because the official tally will determine their number of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, which translates into the size of each state's piece of the national funding pie. Unless the U.S. Supreme Court intervenes, the difference between getting more and less could be determined by noncitizens, including illegal immigrants. Published March 4, 2019
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Stop ballot harvesting
It appears House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to revisit the voting rights bill, on which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that requiring states to seek permission to change their voting laws was out of date. Whats's more interesting is the new studies showing that voter ID laws do not suppress voters from voting. It is not that difficult to obtain a photo ID from a department of motor vehicles. I did it for my wife. Published March 4, 2019
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Mueller on fool’s errand
Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into the president is irrelevant because it's based on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) Court Steele dossier. It was bought with Clinton Foundation money. Published March 4, 2019
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Get rid of Omar now
Surely it is time Minessota Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was thrown out of the Democratic Party ("Ilhan Omar repeats anti-Semitic trop against Jewish congresswoman," Web, March 3). At a minimum, she should be relieved of her position on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Published March 4, 2019
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Effects of lefty state migration
In "'The four states of the apocalypse'" (Web, Feb. 24), Stephen Moore deftly chronicles the mismanagement of the governments of five states hemorrhaging residents, especially rich residents, but he fails to note the not-so-great flip side. Yes, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Arizona and Georgia had the biggest net gains in state-to-state migration, but to what end, besides increasing their tax base? Published March 3, 2019
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Democrats’ Stalinist homage
Imagine my complete and utter joy when I heard the most well-known conservative radio host in America use the correct word to describe the Democrats in the House: "Stalinist." Published March 3, 2019
EDITORIAL: We need a festival to save Britain and celebrate the Special Relationship
The petty internal squabbles and wars of the Europeans were once thought below the concern of Englishmen, our stuffy cousins across the waters. But members of both Conservative and Labor parties are fighting fiercely among themselves now over the wisdom — indeed, the propriety — of leaving the European Union. Published March 3, 2019
EDITORIAL: Disappointment in Hanoi
The Hanoi summit was supposed to have been where, building on the goodwill (and not much else) of their meeting in Singapore eight months earlier, real progress would be made toward eliminating North Korea's nuclear-weapons program, and in return, granting sanctions relief. In the event, the Hanoi summit was the ultimate nothingburger. Published February 28, 2019
