LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Trump does more for minorities than left
It escapes me to try to understand two major factors in this election. One is why social media giants and others who became billionaires are now doing everything they can to defeat the one person in this presidential race striving to keep America the land of opportunity. Why do people like Mark Zuckenberg, Bill Gates and Mike Bloomberg — who became so wealthy under our capitalist system — use their wealth and position to undermine our great system?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Who’s most likely to steal guns?
Color me confused. Some stores are removing the guns they sell so the weapons won't get stolen ("Walmart removes guns, ammunition on display at U.S. stores," Web, Oct. 29). Published November 1, 2020
We endorse Donald J. Trump for reelection
Four years ago, Donald J. Trump presented himself to the American people as a brash, vulgar, gold-plated reality star seeking a political career in which he promised to bounce the entrenched Washington political set off the ropes of a pro wrestling ring and pound them into the canvas.

EDITORIAL: Big Tech’s bad actors
The yearning for free expression is a thoroughly human aspiration and, unfortunately, so is the desire to control it. Big Tech is up to its prying eyeballs in both -- opening new channels for expression it likes and squelching those it doesn't. Published October 29, 2020
EDITORIAL: Virginia drifting westward, and no one seems willing to stop it
In the horse-race of woke, racialized politics, there are a few clear front-runners. Portland is in a good spot after 100-plus days of rioting. Seattle remains a strong contender after its showing in the CHOP. And, of course, the whole state of California — a perennial favorite — is always a safe bet. The odds are slim that Virginia, an often decently run state, beats out this strong group, but with woke all-stars like Sen. L. Louise Lucas, Portsmouth Democrat, in the General Assembly, they should get a good look. Published October 28, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: DC leaf-service cuts harm seniors
How much will the D.C. government save by ordering us 70- and and 80-year-old retirees to use meager Social Security income to buy paper bags to use with our walkers while we perform needed leaf sweeping and bagging? And who will carry these heavy bags from the street to the curb? Published October 28, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Trump a modern JFK
The good news: Voters this year have a chance to elect a presidential candidate who represents the best traditions of the once-proud Democratic Party. The shocking news, at least for some, is that it's not Joe Biden. Not even close. Published October 28, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: When Big Brother turns on you
Former Labor Department secretary Robert Reich tweeted recently: "When this nightmare is over, we need a Truth & Reconciliation Commission. It would erase Trump's lies, comfort those who have been harmed by his hatefulness, and name every official, politician, executive, and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe."

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Lying with ease
What I don't understand about politicians in general and Joe Biden in particular is how effortlessly easy it is for them to look straight into a TV camera and lie with a straight face. Published October 27, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: The choice is clear
In less than one week, Americans will make a choice between two presidential candidates who couldn't be more starkly different ("Donald Trump for reelection," Editorial, Oct. 26). One supports an 'America-first' agenda to fortify our borders and stop illegal immigration; to stop bleeding American jobs, as well as technology and money to China (by addressing the massive trade deficit with this communist nation); and to maintain law and order. As a bonus, this candidate hasn't started any bogus, illegal and expensive foreign wars during his term in office, unlike many of his predecessors. Published October 27, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: We know Joe
Presidential candidate Joe Biden said in closing at the last debate, "You know who I am." And now many of us certainly do. Published October 27, 2020
EDITORIAL: The coronavirus fight has resulted in collateral victims
Restrictions on normal human activities have undoubtedly saved American lives that otherwise would have been lost to the deadly coronavirus. The all-hands-on-deck approach to fight the pandemic can be quantified in terms of the trillions of dollars spent, but there been other costs as well. Lives claimed as collateral damage in the battle have been given only secondary consideration. It's time to ponder whether it makes sense to rob Peter of life in order to save Paul.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Who would survive Biden presidency?
So Joe Biden plans to grant citizenship to more than "11 million undocumented people" if elected — as though the Reagan amnesty legislation hadn't already make the United States a target for more illegal entries, resulting in a doubling of the illegal-alien population in the country. Published October 26, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Trump record speaks for itself
It should be obvious by now that the remaining Obama supporters in the Justice Department, CIA, FBI, State Department, Pentagon and U.S. armed forces are still using their positions to have President Trump defeated in the 2020 election. Their stonewalling on releasing emails and documents has been effective in keeping the public uninformed on critical issues. Published October 26, 2020
EDITORIAL: Donald Trump for reelection
Four years ago, Donald J. Trump presented himself to the American people as a brash, vulgar, gold-plated reality star seeking a political career in which he promised to bounce the entrenched Washington political set off the ropes of a pro wrestling ring and pound them into the canvas. It all seemed so self-serving and absurd. Published October 26, 2020
EDITORIAL: Voting early nullifies late debates
Americans admire decisive action, but there aren't many handed out for going off half-cocked. Tens of millions of Americans tuned in Thursday night to watch Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden match wits in their final showdown before the 2020 election but, counterintuitively, it may not much matter. That's because tens of millions more have already pulled the trigger and made their selection for president. For all but those facing real health fears or schedule conflicts, the rush to vote early is a choice to vote ill-informed. Published October 25, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Biden belongs behind bars
During the last presidential debate, the real Joe Biden came out and showed what a pathological liar he is. Througout the event, when challenged he shook his head from side to side and denied what most of the public has seen in the news. Published October 25, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Left, right must come together
Demented Democrats, anyone? The woods are full of them. The more common one is the basement dweller, as seen on television debating Donald Trump. This particular specimen is a great metaphor for how deep and dark Democrats are taking the world. Published October 25, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Biden corruption the tip of the iceberg
I struggle to believe that anyone needs to watch a debate on television before making a decision on which presidential candidate to vote for. Debates on television are media events aimed at raising ratings. Published October 25, 2020
EDITORIAL: Confronting political censorship
Some disasters arrive with the suddenness of an avalanche with no time to react, while others are preceded by a flashing early-warning sign. Americans are shocked by blatant censorship of news relevant to the impending 2020 presidential election, but they shouldn't be. Unsavory political bias has been a growing phenomenon in the electronic public square. With millions of votes already cast, efforts to release the subversive grip on free speech are too little, too late. Published October 22, 2020
