Violence, mayhem for votes
Stories like "Sex offenders surge into U.S. amid wave of illegal immigration" (Web, May 17) are becoming routine along the southern border Published June 24, 2021
Tighter laws won’t end gun crime
As a practical person concerned with results, and as an American appalled by the brutalization of our society, I strongly second President Biden's call for more than prayerful handwringing ("Biden crime prevention strategy to focus on guns, hiring more cops," Web, June 23). Published June 24, 2021
No CRT in military
As a retired combat veteran, I am repulsed at fake leaders such as Gen. Mark Milley ("'Adverse effect': Pentagon leaders wary of Senate's push to overhaul military justice system," Web, June 22). Published June 24, 2021
Ending the opioid scourge
With President Biden and Vice President Harris now scheduled to travel to the U.S. southern border to see the problems that exist down there for themselves, perhaps the nation's attention can be refocused on the scourge of illegal opioids. Published June 24, 2021
‘Infernal Revenue Service’: Biden’s IRS rebuffs Christian activism
The Biden IRS has taken the task beyond dirty to despicable, though, by deploying its frightening authority against a Christian nonprofit organization. Published June 23, 2021
All White’ is all right for left
When it comes to Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse's family membership at Bailey's Beach Club, we must be charitable to the good senator before chastising him. Published June 23, 2021
Wait till the tables turn
"Tracing Adam Schiff's Subpoena hypocrisy" (Web, June 21) stunned me. Courts have concluded that Congress can secretly subpoena any citizen with no limits. Published June 23, 2021
Once-great ‘Ivies’ no longer educate
Kelly Sadler cites R.R. Reno's June 8 assessment in the Wall Street Journal as the reason "woke" universities are spitting out unhirable individuals ("Woke universities produce unhirable graduates," Web, June 18). Published June 23, 2021
Immigrants still lack health care
The June 17 article "'Obamacare' survives: Supreme Court dismisses big challenge" (Web) appropriately draws attention to the 33.2 million Americans who as of 2019 did not have adequate health-care coverage. Published June 23, 2021
Board actions not within purview
Under the Constitution, all public bodies consisting of public servants sit for the citizens who attend public meetings. Published June 23, 2021
Biden’s many blunders
As an independent voter, I believe that the Democrats have turned politics into raw sewage that stinks to high heaven. Watching President Biden's continuous blunders and missteps should tell everyone to be very weary of our downfall as a society. Published June 23, 2021
Biden’s solar folly: Administration must rethink its climate change agenda
President Joe Biden's goal to make the U.S. electric grid carbon-free by 2035, will require the U.S. to diversify its domestic energy sources, including a heavy reliance on solar power. Published June 23, 2021
Looking past Geneva’s nuclear talks
The United States and Russia ably demonstrated both by reaffirming their commitment to nuclear treaty talks in Geneva last week. Published June 21, 2021
Bring commandments back
There are laws and policies now on the books that suggest people should do whatever they wish. To make such "free choice" possible, there has been some trashing of God's Ten Commandments, morality, tradition, true marriage, solid family structure necessary for a civilized society and more. And there is considerable division and hatred, too. Published June 21, 2021
JFK would be for GOP
If John F. Kennedy were alive today, it is extremely unlikely that he would vote for the Democratic Party he once represented as president. Published June 21, 2021
The ‘woke’ frat of endless hazing
Think of the woke/Black Lives Matter/critical race theory/Marxist movement as initiation day at a fraternity. Make it past initiation and you're part of the group. One catch: Initiation never ends. Definitions keep changing until the 'fratnernity' consumes itself. It's a type of Ponzi scheme, one of which Bernie Madoff would be proud. Published June 21, 2021
The Biden-Harris immigration policy is failing as intended
The Biden immigration policy is appalling on its face, but looks can be deceiving. Despite the record surge of illegal entries wracking the U.S. southern border states during President Biden's still-fresh tenure, apparent failure appears intentional. Americans shouldn't fall for the ruse. Published June 20, 2021
More racism won’t solve anything
This country is a sucker for racial-tensions crises. It seems to me that every decade some person or group attempts to create a crisis based on our country's racial tensions -- and how easily we fall for the trap! Published June 20, 2021
13th Amendment slavery’s true end
While Gen. Gordon Granger's arrival with Union troops in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, to enforce President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in the last of the Confederate states was certainly important to the 200,000-plus slaves his presence freed, it did not end slavery in the United States ("Biden signs Juneteenth bill, creating first new federal holiday in decades," Web, June 17).The Emancipation Proclamation did not free slaves in the slave-holding states that remained loyal to the Union: Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. While Missouri, Maryland and West Virginia had taken action to end slavery by June 19, 1865, slavery remained legal in Kentucky -- and ironically, in President Biden's home state of Delaware -- until the ratification of the 13th Amendment on Dec. 6, 1865.

Focus on real infrastructure danger
The news is replete with the trillion-dollar infrastructure Bill that has very little to do with "infrastructure" and a lot to do with what can only be called pork ("New GOP support for infrastructure deal ups pressure on fragile Democratic unity," Web, June 17). Like the COVID-19 relief bill, this measure will end up having little to do with what the name implies, but it does follow the liberal mantra of "There ain't no end to doin' good when you're spendin' somebody else's money."
