LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Socialism’s a breeze with money

When someone with a net worth of $60 million talks about being a socialist, our first question should be, "When will she give away the all that money?" ("Cynthia Nixon: I'm a democratic socialist," Web, July 11) Published July 11, 2018

EDITORIAL: Dissenters to the Kavanaugh appointment take a dive into madness

Six Catholics, three Jews, three women, five conservatives and four liberals. Not a Protestant, man or woman, anywhere in sight. Indeed, the U.S. Supreme Court might count more true-blue Roman Catholics than the College of Cardinals in Rome. Diversity, thy name is John Roberts. Published July 10, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Left would’ve opposed any pick

Elections have consequences. One of the main reasons people voted for Donald Trump was the change he was likely to make to the Supreme Court. Many conservative Americans cringe at the thought of a Hillary Clinton-picked, liberal-packed Supreme Court. Now mainstream-media pundits are losing their minds over Trump nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Call convention of states

President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, is raising the political ire of the left — and by left, I mean anyone to the left of common sense. Kabuki theater is on full display inside the Beltway. Published July 10, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Worst anti-Semites are leftists

Recent events have shown the disrespect of the radical left (specifically supporters of Bernie Sanders and Democratic Socialism) for not only religions in general, but Judaism specifically. Published July 9, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: More free trade agreements

In his op-ed "Facing the facts about trade and immigration" (Web, July 4) Peter Morici unfortunately obfuscates rather than elucidates economic theory. He claims that past trade deals have created the large U.S. trade deficit, but the opposite is true. Published July 9, 2018

EDITORIAL: Theresa May forgot who won the referendum on leaving Europe

Perhaps it's no longer a matter of if, but of when, and under what circumstances, Theresa May's career as prime minster comes to a humiliating end in Britain. The resignations of David Davis, the cabinet minister overseeing Brexit, and Foreign Minister Boris Johnson, within a day of one another have seen to that. The only remaining question is, now what? Published July 9, 2018

EDITORIAL: Religious intolerance on the left

George Washington, who saw at first hand the limitations of surmise, conjecture and theory, nailed it. "Reason and experience," he said, "both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle." Published July 8, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Immigrants can’t save scheme

There is no doubt that immigrants, legal or otherwise, contribute to the economy, but the notion that they will somehow bail out the social insurance programs is whimsical ("How legal immigrants contribute to the economy," Web, July 1). The only way you will obtain a net positive effect on Social Security, for example, is for all immigrants to be in the upper 1 percent of wage earners working 80 hours per week their entire lives, and upon retirement at age 65, for them to promptly die. Note that illegal immigrants paying in but collecting no benefits are an even better bet. Published July 8, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Resist China’s bullying

In "Upping ante, Trump threatens new tariffs on Chinese imports" (Web, June 18) U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo describes China as a "predatory economic government" that's "long overdue in being tackled." Published July 8, 2018

EDITORIAL: Trump administration withdraws ‘guidance’ on how to discriminate

More than a decade ago Chief Justice John Roberts suggested a foolproof formula for eliminating racial discrimination, a goal that nearly everyone says he wants. "The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race," he said, "is to stop discriminating on the basis of race." Mr. Justice Roberts and his opinion in the case of Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1 did not actually do anything to eliminate "affirmative action," but nibbled at the edges of it, requiring anything done to ensure racial diversity be "narrowly tailored." Published July 5, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Offer solution to separation

President Trump should consider using AmeriCorps workers on the border with Mexico to facilitate the care and treatment of children separated from their families. AmeriCorps has more than 75,000 Americans engaged in intensive public service at 21,600 sites that include non-profits, schools, public agencies and community- and faith-based groups across the country.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Hope for court’s future

Justice Kennedy will be replaced by a solid conservative judge. Memo to Democrats: Read it, know it, live it. Published July 5, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Talk to your teen about drinking

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently reported that underage drinking among high-school students has dropped to a new historic low, declining 41 percent since the survey began in 1991. Additionally, the percent of teens who reported driving when they had been drinking or riding with a driver who had been drinking also continues to decline. Published July 4, 2018

EDITORIAL: Harley-Davidson stirs Trump’s ire on leaving for Asia

Close your eyes and imagine you're astride a Harley-Davidson. There's an American flag emblazoned on the gas tank between your hips, an engine eager to thunder under you, and that man astride a Harley hog at your side looks like he could be Donald Trump. No easy riders here. Published July 4, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Raise academy standards

According to an op-ed by Pat Buchanan, starting around 2009 the U.S. Naval Academy lowered its enrollment standards for incoming freshmen so that the Navy could increase its racial diversity. Published July 4, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Counterfeit news

People in America, including our president, are laboring under the misconception that the mainstream media is producing "fake news," when the reality is that it is cranking out counterfeit news created to destabilize our duly elected administration. "Counterfeit" more accurately describes this product, as it is being intentionally crafted to appear genuine and is deliberately meant to deceive the consumer as real media to be consumed and exchanged in the information marketplace. Published July 3, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Left’s abortion fear-mongering

We are hearing a cacophony of left-leaning commentators and Democrats making outlandish predictions regarding President Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court ("Trump says he probably won't question Supreme Court candidates on abortion," Web, July 1). For example, Sen. Kristen Gillibrand of New York said women will be arrested for having an abortion if the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision decriminalizing abortion is overturned.
