LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Come together across divides

The abject causes of our immense national divide are coming into focus. Decades ago, the idea of a government policy that advocated shifting our wealth, manufacturing and technology to countries with philosophically diametric dispositions would have been a subject for the House Un-American Activities Committee. The "winners" in these institutionalized, supply-side, subversive policies who own and control almost all the media and most of both major political parties are doing everything in their power to maintain this program, which offers unregulated advantages to foreign manufacturers -- against our national interests.

EDITORIAL: Democrats work to dilute the strength of legitimate ballots

Some things are simple and exact, like a chemical formula or the multiplication tables. Equally simple by logic: Everyone who votes should be eligible to vote, and before receiving a ballot should be able to prove it. Voting-rights activists find dark motives in the elementary desire for clean elections, and are eager to cry voter suppression. With the approach of crucial midterms, Americans have every right to make sure their votes still matter when relaxed rules make eligibility irrelevant. Published October 30, 2018

EDITORIAL: A weekend from hell

The unspeakable anger after an unspeakable act, like the synagogue massacre in Pittsburgh and the attempted pipe-bombing assault on senior Democrats, including a former president, always follows as if a ritual. It's now drearily familiar. Published October 29, 2018

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: And then they came for me

Anti-Semitism flourishes on both the far right and the far left ("Pittsburgh mourns with Jewish community, says 'hatred will never win out,'" Web, Oct. 28). On the right are the neo-Nazis and their European-style traditional racism. They are small in number and are mostly inconsequential today. Published October 29, 2018

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Make Taiwan Interpol member

Interpol's 87th General Assembly is scheduled to be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre in the United Arab Emirates from Nov. 16 to Nov. 21. Published October 29, 2018

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Why FAA let to lag in security?

State motor-vehicle departments have become the means for millions to acquire Real ID cards in lieu of passports, military IDs or other federally approved documents, so that they may board commercial airliners for travel within the U.S. Compliance is required by October 2020. Published October 28, 2018

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Why vote for lying left?

While Barack Obama was president I watched the feckless Republican Party get beaten into submission by the Democrats for eight long years. Published October 28, 2018

EDITORIAL: The working press

Almost from the founding of the republic, there has been a vibrant competition between the government and the media for expressing government policy and governing strategy. Published October 28, 2018

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Americans aren’t anti-immigrant

As has been in the news, millions of illegal aliens are invading our country. It is apparent that liberals, particularly Democrats, are for "open borders" for those who wish to come and amnesty for those already here. Published October 25, 2018

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Democrats the violent ones

Never ceasing to miss an opportunity to monopolize a crisis, Democrats were quick to blame President Trump for the intercepted pipe bombs that targeted the likes of former President Obama and the Clinton family. Published October 25, 2018

EDITORIAL: The fading blue wave

Elections rarely live up to the hype. Reporters and pundits in hot pursuit of clickbait had barely begun recovering from the 2016 election before they began confidently predicting a comeuppance for Donald Trump in the midterm congressional elections. Published October 25, 2018

EDITORIAL: This isn’t what the world thought Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman promised

The murder of Jamal Khashoggi encapsulates the crisis which has overtaken 1.5 billion Muslims, 22 percent of world population, their religion and their scattered and widespread civilization. Published October 24, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Hypocritical left

Talk about flip-flopping politicians. In 2005, Sen. Barack Obama pontificated that undocumented illegal aliens just can't pour into the United States at will. Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada once convulsed against the concept of chain migration and Hillary Clinton notably advocated a "border barrier" to stop these inflows. Even Sen. Chuck Schumer got into this foray by publicly positioning himself against undocumented aliens entering the United States. Published October 24, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Obama moves led to Trump

Recently former President Barack Obama campaigned in Nevada, praising his administration for many accomplishments — but failing to mention his most serious scandal, which was the promise he made to Vladimir Putin to unilaterally disarm the United States. While Russia continued to invade its neighbors, upgrade its nuclear arms and missiles, patrol with nuclear submarines off our shores and in adjacent seas, establish military bases in Latin America, fly nuclear-armed bombers close to our bases and disrespect the United States in every way, Mr. Obama continued to want to eliminate all American nuclear arms. Published October 24, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: No more ‘divided’ than usual

The refrain that America is more divided than ever is both unsubstantiated and dangerous. Many in the media and some politicians have put forward this proposition (likely in the hopes of tarnishing President Trump), but they have not provided any evidence. Published October 23, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Left will take anyone

With the Democrats' strong support for illegal immigration, I can only assume they have re-written Emma Lazarus' poem to read as follows: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free, your spies, saboteurs, terrorists, criminal gangs, drug dealers, fugitives from justice, people with contagious diseases, Muslims with their Shariah law, etc. We welcome the good, the bad, and the ugly — as long as they agree to vote for Democrats to replace the voters missing because of abortion."

EDITORIAL: Obamacare waivers could unlock laboratories of innovation

No one is guaranteed a tomorrow, but expectations run pretty high for happy days in the here and now. Americans consider first-rate health care a right tucked somewhere in the Constitution, between baseball and free hot dogs. The lengthy struggle over the proper role of government in facilitating access to modern medicine — including the grinding Obamacare tug-of-war — has reached an exhausting stalemate. With voters soon to pass judgment on the well-being of the nation, legislators at every level would be advised to get on with devising a health care system that Americans can live with. The key could be loosening the bureaucratic rules and enabling states to do what they were meant to do. Published October 23, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: End illegal border crossing

Stop the hand-wringing and nonsense rhetoric and take the necessary actions to permanently end the uncontrolled, Democrat-inspired illegal immigration, with its financial harm and loss of innocent lives ("Caravan grows to 14,000 people: Report," Web, Oct. 22). Published October 22, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Citizenship not universal right

The United States is walking on egg shells. Since 1965 our immigration laws have been strangling our nation. The entire demographic of our country has been poisoned by chain migration and the importation of Democratic voters. If this does not stop, as President Trump has been exhorting the country to do, the entire culture of this country will be altered irreversibly. Published October 22, 2018

EDITORIAL: Kamala Harris as tax-cutter is a costume that won’t fool anyone

It's fun to dress up on Halloween and pretend to be someone else. This year, one Washington lawmaker seems set on donning the unlikely costume of President Trump: Kamala Harris. The junior senator from California is masking the fashion of her socialism-infatuated Democratic Party and calling for a lighter tax burden for America's middle class. Politics has always been about serving the needs and wants of constituents, but a Trumpian proposal from a dyed-in-the-wool liberal will fool no one. Published October 22, 2018
