LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Climate change not fact
Last week I listened to French President Emmanuel Macron's eloquent speech to a joint session of Congress, and it reminded me that we need what Mr. Macron called "free choice and rational decisions" with regard to climate change. Published April 30, 2018
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Dinner outcome no surprise
This year's White House Correspondents Dinner, beginning with the moderator, was the culmination of all that has been wrong with the event these past several years ("Trump calls for White House Correspondents Dinner to be scrapped," Web, April 29). Just look at the people whose careers it has "launched." This will only continue. Published April 30, 2018
EDITORIAL: Billionaire Tom Steyer blows a fortune attempting to impeach Donald Trump
Sometimes "the filthy rich" among us do great and good things with their money. More than a few American towns and cities have libraries today because Andrew Carnegie, a steel baron of an earlier age, dedicated his wealth to getting them started. Many of Henry Ford's millions were dedicated to improving education, though some of those millions wound up in dubious places. Rockefeller millions and Walton millions have done much to enrich schools, museums and art galleries. Published April 30, 2018

EDITORIAL: Kim Jong-un changes his tune
When Donald Trump sits down with Kim Jong-un sometime this spring he will do so against the backdrop of Kim's surprising love-in with President Moon Jae-in last week at Panmunjom, when the two leaders hugged, held hands and all but planted kisses on each other to make up for decades of mutual hostility on the Korean peninsula.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Bank board needs balance
President Trump's announcement signaling his intention to nominate Kansas banking commissioner Michelle "Miki" Bowman to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors was a step in the right direction. Published April 29, 2018
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Reinstate teaching about West
Although I have never been to Reed College, decades ago I attended another formerly excellent liberal arts school, Antioch College ("After protests, Oregon college revises curriculum to include more diverse texts," Web, Feb. 6). The truly outstanding liberal arts education I received at Antioch — including a course on critical thinking — leads to this letter. Published April 29, 2018
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Jesus would support SNAP
In Jesus' ministry of caring for the poor he did not expect the masses to earn what was shared. Published April 26, 2018
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Clinton broke finance law
Federal Election Commission (FEC) records indicate that the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign illegally laundered $84 million. Yet mainstream media took no notice. Published April 26, 2018
EDITORIAL: The Democratic headache/heartache cure
Never throw anything away. You never know what might return to high fashion. Published April 26, 2018
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Government won’t protect you
The reaction of the Democrats and the left-wing media to the Parkland, Florida, shooting is to disarm America. How predictably backward. Published April 25, 2018
EDITORIAL: To a real nuclear deal
Human events sometimes seem to spill across the globe without rhyme or reason, but occasionally events converge in harmonic fashion, revealing a stunning opportunity. Published April 25, 2018
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Trump nominees not improving
A wise individual learns from his or her mistakes, yet blunder after blunder in the selection of nominees seems to have taught President Trump nothing. Published April 25, 2018
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: FDR underused quotas
An official of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum claims that "deep anti-Semitism" among the American public in the 1930s was to blame for the fact that America's immigration quotas were never filled, even as hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees were fleeing Nazi Germany ("U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum opens exhibition on American response to Nazism," Web, April 22). Published April 24, 2018
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Tillman death still in vain
Last weekend marked the 14th anniversary of the friendly fire killing of Cpl. Pat Tillman, a football hero and man of honor who gave up millions of dollars in potential earnings to serve his country. Published April 24, 2018
EDITORIAL: France remembers
Donald Trump's romance with Emmanuel Macron continued to blossom Tuesday when they planted a tree together on the White House lawn. The French president brought the sapling, a cutting from the European Sessile oak, with him from Paris. Published April 24, 2018
EDITORIAL: A key vote for Mike Pompeo moves his nomination to Senate
Abad novelist couldn't make this up: American politicians who pretended to sing only from the hymnbook of peace now want to spoil the best opportunity in three generations to pacify the warmongers of North Korea, and turn back the tide of nuclear proliferation which threatens us all. Their fuzzy rationale is that the mover of the promising breakthrough is Donald Trump, and the imperative of his enemies to destroy his presidency must come first. Seldom have political differences become so untethered from the reality of the common good. Published April 23, 2018
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Confirm Pompeo
That Mike Pompeo may have a problem being confirmed as secretary of State is another example of the usual obstruction by Democrats and the persistent nonsense exhibited by some Republicans. Published April 23, 2018
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Improve NATO forces now
President Trump has asked Europe's allies to pay their fair share of defense costs, and started efforts to rebuild Europe's military readiness as NATO is standing up, lethal military aid is going to Ukraine and U.S. energy is going to Europe as an alternative to Gazprom. Published April 23, 2018
EDITORIAL: There’s evidence that Trump can strike the mortal blow to the inflation tax
There's new interest in indexing the capital gains tax to account for inflation. This is something good for everyone that conservatives have been pushing for years. The White House is working now to determine whether the president has the legal authority to make this change in tax policy by his own hand. There's evidence that he can. Published April 22, 2018
