Left owes us and Trump more than money
Kudos to former President Donald Trump, who, unlike former President George W. Bush, is suing his political tormentors for creating the false "Russia collusion" narrative that forced him to accrue unnecessary legal bills to the tune of $24 million ("Trump sues Clinton for false claims on Russia," Page 1, March 25).

Equip Ukraine for continued defense
Current opinions on the war in the Ukraine appear to fall within two camps: those who seem paralyzed by the greatest existential threat to Europe since World War II and are prepared to stand by and let Ukraine take the brunt of Russian President Vladimir Putin's fury, and those who see Ukraine as the tip of the spear in the effort to stop Mr. Putin's naked aggression.

Harris, the embarrassing choice
The first official decision a presidential candidate makes is whom to chose as his vice presidential running mate. George H.W. Bush and John McCain had many questions to answer when they filled their tickets, but the booby prize goes to President Biden ("Kamala Harris' staffers can't quit their jobs fast enough," Web, March 23).

Why no ‘interpretation’ questions?
I have been following the Ketanji Brown Jackson nomination hearings. Is it not astounding that one of the most important lines of questioning is suspiciously absent? That line is, how does one legitimately determine when an act violates a provision of our federal Constitution or its constitutionally delegated powers? Published March 24, 2022
Open borders to Ukrainian refugees
As a Ukrainian American, I am angry that more has not been done to help the more than 3.5 million Ukrainian refugees. Why aren't these people being allowed to immigrate to America and claim asylum from this horrific war? Published March 24, 2022
Where are the Asian, Hispanic justices?
The recent nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court has been accompanied by the wish, expressed by President Biden and others, that the Supreme Court should "look like America." Nobody has articulated precisely what that would look like, but if what Mr. Biden wants is a Supreme Court that proportionately represents the racial and ethnic makeup of the U.S. population, then nominating Judge Jackson is not going to get him any nearer that goal.

Unleash ingenuity of private sector
The intent of the recent Fed interest-rate hike is to increase borrowing costs as a means of reducing investment in, and economic expansion throughout, the private sector. And According to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, more rate hikes are in the offing. Those in today's Fed opine that in order to bring inflation under control, economic growth rates must be diminished. Published March 23, 2022
Take a page from Ukraine and resist
President Biden warned during his 2016 campaign that if former President Donald Trump were reelected, he would "forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation, who we are, and I cannot stand by and watch this happen" ("Biden's vacant White House," Web, March 21).

GOP must not vote for Jackson
President Biden has nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, a devious political move that could potentially damage our nation for years to come. Judge Jackson is an unqualified Trump hater, a Biden lover and radical who has a "soft-on-crime" portfolio. Published March 22, 2022
We want truth on biolabs, Hunter Biden
When it comes to the war in Ukraine, most Americans want to help out. They also want to know about the blackmail President Biden is famous for bragging about when a top Ukrainian prosecutor was investigating his son, Hunter Biden, and ol' Joe said he would stop the flow of American-taxpayer money to Ukraine if the man wasn't fired.

Are we ready for another war?
Could Ukraine become another Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan for the U.S.? Should we send armed forces to fight the Russians? Published March 22, 2022
Make oil companies utility companies?
The high gas prices should make Americans ask the fundamental question: What is the difference between what a public, nonprofit utility company provides and what a private, for-profit oil company provides? After all, they both sell energy to people. Published March 21, 2022
In U.S. school, mediocrity reigns
The Cherry Creek school district in Colorado has announced it will be doing away with valedictorian class awards as it joins others around the country more interested in student "feelings" than academic accomplishments. This decision is nothing more than another push to remove all expectations, standards and requirements from public schools. Published March 21, 2022
Why are we pitting women against men?
American higher education, arts, entertainment programming and business advertising have a common goal these days: to make women into men and men into women. Published March 21, 2022
“MAGA” once belonged to New Deal
It seems the slogan "Make America Great Again," while having inspired millions of Americans, is being degraded by media to signify something sinister. In fact, however, it recalls America's heyday, which was brought about by the Democratic Party's New Deal. Published March 18, 2022
More trouble looms
There are deadly pathogenic bioweapons research laboratories in Ukraine, the funding of which the U.S. is secretly involved. A month ago, this information was considered conspiracy theory. Now the truth is out. Published March 18, 2022
Silence on truckers?
We are anxiously awaiting news of the trucker convoy, but there seems to be a media blackout -- or, God forbid, censorship of this very important subject. Published March 18, 2022
Downhill since day one
In Greek mythology, everything King Midas touched turned to gold. We are now witnessing what can be called the Biden touch, where everything President Biden touches turns to dross. Unfortunately, rather than a myth, it is all too real. Former President Obama's reported remark that one should never underestimate Mr. Biden's ability to mess things up has become abundantly prescient. Published March 17, 2022
Finger pointing won’t boost confidence
Recently President Biden and his administration declared that high gas prices were the fault of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Unfortunately, this is not the first time they have denied that their policies were contributing to this issue and others. Published March 17, 2022
Act now in Ukraine before it’s too late
The conflict in Ukraine highlights our current lack of leadership and the negative consequences that can result. We can argue all day long about the Trump presidency, none of this would be happening if Donald Trump were still in office. Published March 17, 2022
