Can Youngkin end Va. GOP’s dry spell?

The Washington Post's editorial page--which hasn't endorsed a Republican for governor of Virginia since it began endorsing candidates in 1976--seems to find glee in noting that no GOP nominee for statewide office in Virginia has won election since 2009. Published June 17, 2021

Oust Omar now

Why is Rep. Ilhan Omar in our Congress ("Republicans propose censure of Ilhan Omar and 'The Squad' for anti-Israel, anti-U.S. rhetoric," Web, June 14)? She and her ilk are not only racists but anti-American on top of it. Published June 17, 2021

Much to celebrate in Jerusalem

Israelis, not "ultranationalists," hold parades every year to celebrate the 1967 reunification of Jerusalem after 16 years of illegal Jordanian occupation ("Palestinian balloons, Israeli strikes test peace," World, A9, June 17). Published June 17, 2021

Biden team rhetoric helps our enemies

Two months prior to the recent start of the G-7 summit in Cornwall, England, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, President Biden's hand-picked ambassador to the United Nations, made disparaging remarks to the National Action Network about her country ("Biden U.N. ambassador blasts U.S., rips 'White supremacy' within 'founding documents and principles,' Web, April 14).

No politicians worthy of Founders’ ideal

Today our politicians are crowing loudly about 55% of targeted Americans being partially vaccinated, and maybe 45% being fully vaccinated, as if these numbers are the equivalent of summiting Everest. Published June 16, 2021

Keep more fish in the oceans

This Sunday is Father's Day. While most of the country might be celebrating with baseball and burgers, I'm taking a decidedly different approach: I'm going "fishing." But not the kind of fishing you're thinking of. Published June 16, 2021

As a nation we are inclusive

After much reflection, I have hit upon a perfect way to prove that the U.S. is a racist country. Published June 16, 2021

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Actually, we’re not all bigots

Black Africans were rounded up by other Black Africans and Arab Muslims and transported under poor conditions to the United States by Europeans, then sold as slaves. Over hundreds of years many people suffered the horrible effects of slavery. Today we hear that all Whites are guilty and there is systemic racism in our society. Published June 15, 2021

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Left quickly destroying our costly freedom

Millions of voters are fed up to the hilt with the lack of government representation. We are told by our Representatives, both federal and state, that if we're dissatisfied we should vote them out. Well, we tried and the result was a fraudulent election the pundits say we must accept because our Constitution doesn't provide the means to overturn it. Published June 15, 2021

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: The ‘woke’ want only destruction

I have enjoyed exploring and looking at many of Europe's old buildings, gardens, art and statues. I have also learned, through the continent's deliberate preservation of the terrible landmarks of the Holocaust, how humankind must never again allow such hatred to take root. Yes, having lived in Luxembourg and Germany I have seen much of it. Yet I've seen also that Europe takes pride in its various cultures, even with the scars of two world wars on its lands.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Who’s really in charge?

There is a lot of talk about election fraud and questions about whether President Biden is our legitimate president. As the results of the election audits start to come in those questions will become more and more important and peoples' anger levels will rise. Published June 14, 2021

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Adding insult to injury

I'm reading that at the tail end of a pandemic and in the midst of a severe border surge, President Biden's Department of Homeland Security has formally announced plans to reallocate $2.2 billion of funding for the construction of the border wall on the U.S. Mexico border ("DHS 'legally required' to spend Trump's border wall money, officials say," Web, June 11).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: ‘Liberty, justice’ leave some behind

Former Wisconisn Gov. Scott Walker's interpretation of the meaning of Flag Day misses the essence of our Pledge of Allegiance, which each of us has taken hundreds of times ("Reaffirming a devotion to freedom this Flag Day," Web, June 10). In my view it is a pledge to the idealism inherent in that for which the the flag stands: "the republic," "one nation", "under God" and "indivisible" and "with liberty and justice for all." Unfortunately, since its creation, "We the People" have never kept the last phrase of that pledge. And today we are increasingly divided -- forming a less perfect union. Published June 13, 2021

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Just one humankind

I just have one comment to make regarding racism as it pertains to the Jewish people: In my opinion, it is racist to infer or even boldly state that Jews are somehow different from the other people in our world. Published June 13, 2021

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Kudos to Father Altman

A Catholic priest has been asked to step down "due to his anti-lockdown rhetoric and criticism of the Democratic Party," according to The Washington Times ("James Altman, Catholic priest who blasted Dems, lockdowns asked to resign: 'They want my head,'" Web, May 23). But in the case of Father James Altman of St. James Catholic Church in La Crosse, Wisconsin, his only "crime" is speaking the truth in "a culture that celebrates deception and sin."
