LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Showing ID the least voters can do
"Corporate leaders line up against voting laws" (Page 1, April 15) chronicles hundreds of our nation's large corporations conspiring against states' rights and ability to set voting laws as set forth in the U.S. Constitution. Published April 15, 2021
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: ‘Colorblindness’ won’t come from hatred
The negative impact of current journalism is unmistakable with the coverage of the Derek Chauvin/George Floyd affair. An absurd act of macabre and senseless violence committed by a demented individual against a frequent lawbreaker catapulted these nincompoops to national importance. Who knows how many imitators there will be? What an insult to the heroes in Arlington National Cemetery. Published April 14, 2021
EDITORIAL: Biden seeks a synchronized surrender of global competition
Misery loves company, and so does mediocrity. President Biden is on the scout for other nations willing to share some of the tax pain he plans to inflict upon the American economy. Published April 14, 2021
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: ‘Packing the court’ unconstitutional
Other than the leftists and their army, President Biden does not have support for his court-packing scheme. Furthermore, he does not have authority to do it. For the constitutionally challenged, which apparently includes Mr. Biden and his comrades, there are three equal branches of government. There are checks and balances on each of them to prevent domination by one or the other two. Published April 14, 2021
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Remembering Robinson
Today marks the 74th anniversary of Jackie Robinson playing his first Major League Baseball game for the Brooklyn Dodgers. It was a milestone for integrating the sport. It was a time when working- and middle-class men and women of all ages, classes, races and religions commingled in the stands, rooting for Robinson and his teammates, regardless of their ethnic origin, game after game.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Act not about women’s rights
People are climbing on board to champion the proposed Paycheck Fairness Act as a giant step for women, who make only 82 cents for every dollar earned by men. But that's not what this law is about. The Equal Pay Act addressed wage inequality in 1963 and the courts and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission have been investigating and litigating unequal pay claims since then. A testament to how effective the 1963 act has been is that there are only about 1,000 EEOC discriminatory pay claims made each year, of which about 22% are found valid. Published April 13, 2021
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: In left’s war, Virginia taxpayers lose
If their first joint appearance (debate is too generous a word) is any indication, Virginia's gubernatorial Democratic primary candidates are caught in their own self-righteous echo chamber, assuming no one else will notice or care ("McAuliffe takes jabs from fellow Democrats in debate," Web, April 6). Boasting of cosmetic diversity while enforcing lockstep uniformity on whatever left-wing fad emerges, they attempted to outdo each other. Death-penalty repeal, marijuana legalization, unlimited abortion and ex-felons voting are only the start. One candidate boasted of colluding with teachers' unions to keep schools closed, but it could have been any one of them. The party's pell-mell rush to undo the positive reforms of the past few decades, including a dramatic reduction in violent crime, is disheartening, to say the least. Published April 13, 2021
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Tlaib wrong on police comment
Rep. Rashida Tlaib made an erroneous and idiotic comment on Twitter following the shooting of a 20-year-old Black man by a police officer in Minnesota ("'Squad' member demands 'no more policing' after Daunte Wright death: 'It can't be reformed,'" Web, April 12). It seems the officer shot and killed the man, Daunte Wright, by mistake. She has been fired. It was reported that the officer meant to use a stun gun but instead had an actual gun.

EDITORIAL: Biden administration proposes $4 trillion for energy, infrastructure, industrial plan
The U.S. is acting as if money grows on trees. As if money is some sort of construct, not real, and infinite. Published April 13, 2021
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Biden projects need China backing
Thomas Jefferson, our third president, explained that infrastructure improvements could only be accomplished by the states. To change this, a Constitutional Convention would be needed because, as James Madison said, the enumerated powers given to the national government did not include the ability to build things such as roads and canals. Published April 12, 2021
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Get rid of McConnell now
Donald Trump is right: Mitch "Turtle Head" McConnell is a moron and has to go. The man who gave us Thad Cochran, shilled for the chamber of communists and got rich from the Chinese hates America as much as 'Speaker Polygrip' and 'Cryin' Chuck.' Published April 12, 2021
EDITORIAL: Biden worsens social tension while sanctioning self-defense
Attempting to stem a mounting surge of gun violence, President Biden has tightened firearms restrictions and urged Congress to take even more ambitious action. Published April 12, 2021
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Discrimination against whites is racism
In the past year I have watched our nation boil over with hatred and mistrust, and there has been one political party that has poured fuel on the flames: the Democratic Party. Published April 12, 2021
EDITORIAL: Biden punishes the ‘ordinary people’ that he claims to care about
The climate change provisions in President Biden's "Infrastructure" Plan will cost American households $1,400 each year. Published April 11, 2021
EDITORIAL: Mainstream media stokes fury that Trump supporters were cop killers
There's so little we know about what really happened on Jan. 6. Published April 11, 2021
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Change language in reporting
Since the Jan. 6 incursion into the U.S. Capitol, The Washington Times has repeatedly used inflammatory rhetoric to characterize the event. Calling the criminality "an insurrection," writing that "the riot left five people dead," describing the event as a "deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol," etc., was not in keeping with the facts known at the time of printing, but did serve to paint a consistent (and false) narrative. Published April 11, 2021
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Whites not inherently racist
I was brought up Roman Catholic. I was baptized as an infant to be absolved of original sin. What sin I had perpetrated, I could never completely understand. Later in life, it was vaguely explained to me. I accepted it and was grateful for being forgiven. Published April 11, 2021
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Non-White-farmer stimulus not justified
President Biden's COVID-19 stimulus package excludes White farmers from $5 billion in debt relief offered to non-White farmers ("Biden stimulus earmark for only non-White farmers blasted as racism," Page I, April 1). Published April 11, 2021
EDITORIAL: Pot is growing like a weed
There is a time in life when human beings have a chance to feel as if they can conquer the world and reach for the stars. Published April 8, 2021
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Why not ban cars, too?
There has been a recent rash of people using their cars to attack, hurt and kill innocent civilians. Where is the outrage? Why aren't the gun-control advocates going after our cars? Anyone can own or rent one and no background checks are required. Anti-gun activists should be filing legal action against the big three car makers and all of the imports as well.
