LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Justice should be blind
I ask the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation the following: Why should I follow the law? My entire life I've done what's right, obeyed the law and paid my taxes. But why should I have to do any of that if people like Andrew McCabe, James Comey, John Brennan and Lisa Page get to walk? Published October 15, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Vote for Trump, not just GOP
Some people vote for the party and not the person. In this election, however, we need to vote for both. The belief is that the Republican Party gave us Israeli peace agreements with Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, and the relocation of America's embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. But prior to President Trump, the Republican Party gave us none of this. And the fact is that America's extraordinary economic successes before COVID-19 were largely achieved by Mr. Trump.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Left terrified of Barrett
During the hearings to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump's nominee for our highest court, the Democrats revealed much. They were accusatory, trying to link Barrett to unproven conspiracy theories. They are good at accusations that later are proven to be false. Published October 15, 2020
EDITORIAL: Amy Coney Barrett shares the new face of American jurisprudence
It's possible that if Donald J. Trump were not president, COVID-19 not such an intensifying factor and the Democratic Party less deranged, Amy Coney Barrett would not be a controversial U.S. Supreme Court nominee. Indeed, in a healthier America, her profile would attract bipartisan praise. Published October 14, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: 2020 another Clinton power grab
It's no wonder patriotic Americans no longer trust our corrupt, Perkins-Coie-dominated government in Washington. Not only is Hillary "Benghazi" Clinton auditioning to get her greedy hands on the entire U.S. defense budget (as Biden-Harris' crooked secretary of defense), the entire Obama-era, deep-state cabal — led 100% by Bill and Hillary Clinton is getting off scot-free.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Ignorant youth schools’ fault
Attorney General William Barr's recent piece was instructive and important ("William Barr: Founders gambled on virtue prevailing over passions," Web, Oct. 13). In it, Mr. Barr points out the likelihood of doubts about the prospects of our citizens having the moral discipline and virtue necessary for our free institutions to survive. A quote attributed to John Philpot Curran is as follows: "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." I believe a lack of vigilance over the years by our citizens and elected officials is a chief reason for doubts about those prospects today. Published October 14, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Hirono owes Barrett, U.S. apology
On Tuesday I watched Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono question Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett on TV. Hirono asked Judge Barrett two disgusting questions. First, whether Judge Barrett had ever sexually assaulted anyone; second, whether she had ever entered into a settlement for sexual assaulting someone. These questions were asked without any basis to support them. Judge Barrett denied them, not unexpectedly. Published October 14, 2020
EDITORIAL: A Biden win portends a nuclear deal do-over
For the better part of a year, Americans have narrowed their focus to the immediate task of saving themselves from the scourge of the deadly coronavirus. The threat of disease is still potent, but the approach of a quadrennial presidential election necessitates a wider scope of awareness. From afar, an angry Iran continues to glare westward. As millions of U.S. voters sit with pen in hand to fill out their mail-in ballots, they should ponder whether they could be also signing off on a renewed Iranian quest for nuclear arms.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Why continued U.S.-Saudi relations?
Daniel N. Hoffman's piece, "Don't believe Putin's lies in Navalny poisoning" (Web, Oct. 8), repeats a lot of waffle and one-sided stories from international agencies about Russia. But what really got me was Mr. Hoffman's driving comment at the top of the op-ed: "The U.S. and its allies must not sacrifice principle to do business with a brutal regime" (meaning Russia). To enlighten Mr. Hoffman, the U.S. has sacrificed many principles on the altar of business. Published October 13, 2020
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Nobody’s perfect
I am an admirer of many of Donald Trump's policies (but not always of the man). I recently received an email containing this mock news release: "President Donald Trump has COVID-19. Our thoughts and prayers are with the virus at this difficult time." It brought to mind Abraham Lincoln's famous quote: "It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: ‘Fundamental’ change would ruin U.S.
It's been said before going into other elections: "This is the most critical election in our lifetime." What if this time it's true? Published October 13, 2020
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Biden, Harris lost debates
The mainstream media will never give a Republican presidential or vice-presidential candidate a win in any debate, even when it's clear that they've won. Anyway, President Trump "lost" all three debates against Hillary Clinton, according to the mainstream media. Published October 12, 2020
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Answer court-packing question
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' refusal to answer the question of whether, if elected, Biden would attempt to pack the Supreme Court providesthe answer: yes. Published October 12, 2020
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Constitution not the problem
I used to think that a few new amendments to the Constitution might be a way to rein in the government. But now I see the futility of that approach. The Constitution we have now is nearly perfect; there is no point in changing it. The problem is that the Constitution has proven to be about as effective at limiting the powers of government as gun laws are at keeping guns from criminals. For the same reason, too: Criminals don't care about the law. Published October 12, 2020
EDITORIAL: ‘Pro-Life Evangelicals’ for Biden?
"Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden"? Really? Latin has a word for that: "non sequitur." Published October 12, 2020
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Goebbels comment indefensible
Even more striking than Joe Biden's comparison of President Trump to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels was that after it, two Jewish leaders, Abraham Foxman and Deborah Lipstadt, supported his statement ("Biden: Trump 'sort of like Goebbels,' 'more Castro than Churchill,'" Web, Sept. 28). One should be disappointed and surprised that these two authorities on the Holocaust have chosen to compare that atrocity to the workings of the Trump administration. Published October 11, 2020
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Don’t vote ignorantly
It's election time again, and with it comes the call to action: "Voting is your civic duty!" Americans are bombarded with messages practically shaming them for even considering staying home on Election Day. Ironically, these messages indirectly thwart the very change the activists behind them presumably seek. Published October 11, 2020
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Biden a symbol of waste, fraud
We are in a bad place, politically speaking. President Trump is the army of one because he is not a politician. As a result, he is willing to do what it takes to get immediate results and politicians can't deal with it. But the presidency is no different from any government job. The private sector expects to see results, while the government kicks the can down the road. The government's mantra should be, "Anything worth doing is worth doing tomorrow." This is the root of Trump hatred. The president makes them all look bad, Published October 11, 2020
EDITORIAL: Risky judgment of Barrett’s Catholicism
U.S. Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett boasts solid-gold credentials: tops in her class at Notre Dame, a clerkship with Justice Antonin Scalia, black-robed experience on the federal bench and a heart for the human condition earned while mothering seven children. Published October 11, 2020
EDITORIAL: Harris leaves little debate over where Biden would steer America
Mike Pence and Kamala Harris are divided by more than just plexiglass. Their views on America's leadership, on display during the sole vice presidential debate Wednesday night, are miles apart. In essence, they represent a choice between the current constitutional republic and a descent into socialism. Published October 8, 2020
