LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Farrakhan’s slander dangerous

We Whites hear constantly about how much of what we do or say is racist, either consciously or unconsciously. In his July 4 speech, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan warned people of color about a plan to kill billions of them by vaccination, and he named Anthony Fauci, and Bill and Melinda Gates as among those people behind it.

EDITORIAL: Forced apologies for ‘White privilege’ is un-American

Tops in the extremist strategy for transforming U.S. culture is the effort to convince the 63% of Americans born with a light complexion that they are guilty of the secular sin of "White privilege." Condemning a whole class of people based on their skin color, rather than their conduct, is the very definition of racism. For that reason, the undertaking is un-American and deserves to be discarded. Published September 9, 2020

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Keep schools open

Several years ago, I happened to mention to my doctor that my hay fever allergies were bothering me much less and I was happy about that. However, he told me that it was an indication my immune system was "closing down" as I got older. That was the first I ever heard of this problem for senior citizens. This is now obvious to all in the death statistics from the COVID-19 pandemic. Published September 9, 2020

EDITORIAL: The skinny on beating coronavirus

As the summer of pandemic fades toward fall, federal and state governments are still groping for the key to beating the killer coronavirus. Social distancing serves as the default recommendation, and a combination of mandatory and voluntary sequesters have forced millions of Americans to stay home. Published September 8, 2020

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Stop violent, anti-White thugs

The truth of what Black Lives Matter and Antifa actually represent has been conveniently hidden by these organized terrorists' sleight of hand. We are now witnessing what I firmly believe to be a nationwide assemblage of assorted thugs who are violent racists and Black supremacists. Published September 8, 2020

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Biden has much to account for

There was a stark contrast between this year's Democratic and Republican national conventions that should not be ignored. Listening to the Democrats all you heard was a diatribe of venom coming out of their mouths, showing their hatred for our president. They were like rats caught in a trap trying to gnaw their way out, thinking that if they did they would be free to infest the world with their diseases. Their presentation was all about gloom and doom, and how rotten everything is because of President Trump (which couldn't be further from the truth). Published September 8, 2020

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: More face time a plus

While most of the current Democratic leaders were not alive in 1948, the lessons from that year's presidential elections are not lost, considering the recent decision to increase the exposure of Joe Biden to the voting public. Although the parties were reversed in the 1948 example, Thomas Dewey, the Republican candidate, had a substantial majority predicted in the polls — and he chose to abstain from extensive electioneering. In contrast, President Truman went all-out, with numerous whistle stops during his campaign in an effort to win. Published September 8, 2020

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: ‘Limosine left’ hardly suffering

I beseech our hubristic overlords to act with a bit more tact and grace during these trying times. Ever since COVID-19 appeared on America's shores, a plethora of alarmists have taken to the airways to issue apocalyptic warnings. Published September 7, 2020

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Deterrence, not disarmament

While admiring the objectives and perseverance of Joseph Adam Ereli and James Grant in seeking common ground for contemporary arms control regimes, ("Proactive nuclear disarmament talks must begin now before its too lat," Web, Sept. 2), the writers seem to disregard some 50 years of international mistrust.

EDITORIAL: It’s time to turn off NPR

Earlier this summer, James Bennet, editorial page editor of The New York Times, resigned from his post after internal and public outcry over his decision to allow an op-ed by sitting U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton arguing for military intervention as a response to the recent riots. The paper's publisher, A.G. Sulzberger, noted that a "significant breakdown in our editing process" had occurred, adding that both he and Mr. Bennet "concluded that James would not be able to lead the team through the next leg of change that is required."

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Remove BLM lettering now

Judicial Watch filed suit against D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to paint its message "Because No One Is Above The Law" on one of the city's streets. So far, this request has been denied. That's no surprise. It almost goes without saying that Washington has more than its share of biased, stupid Democratic officials who have allowed activists to paint conspicuous, raw political messaging on 16th Street in the first place. Published September 6, 2020

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Ostrich is no mascot

Riots and the pandemic will both sputter out in time. I think the more crucial distinction between President Trump and Joe Biden is policy differences. Identity and grievance politics wrapped in a tight parcel of social justice and bound with the tinsel of intersectionality may suffice for Democratic true believers, but thoughtful voters of all stripes — those who stand apart from the mindless and numbing hoopla of professional political hucksters — desire serious discussions, for they can distinguish policy from persona. Published September 6, 2020

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: No leader is perfect

A committee has suggested that D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser have the names of the Founding Fathers removed from several buildings, streets and places in Washington due to the connection of those "historical namesakes" to slavery and oppression. Published September 6, 2020

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Pelosi’s ‘set-up’ defense malarky

I read with humor about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's arrogant disregard of San Francisco's COVID-19 rules and her absurd defense ("Nancy Pelosi says she was 'set up' by San Francisco salon," Web, Sept. 2). The third most powerful person in the U.S. screamed when caught that she was "set up." Huh. No one held a gun to her head or forced her in any way to break the rules by not wearing a mask and visiting a business supposedly "closed" by coronavirus-prevention rules. She broke them, and aided all those in the shop who were assisting her in doing it. Published September 6, 2020

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Athletes, no one asked you

I can't believe the National Basketball Association isn't aware that they are in the middle of a huge, self-inflicted public relations nightmare ("Trump says NBA turning into a 'political organization,'" Web, Aug. 27). As an NBA fan I was disappointed when they shut down in March. When I heard they were starting up again I was excited and looking forward to the restart. But what did I see that first two weeks before I turned them off? They forced a narrative on me and millions of other Americans that the majority of white Americans are racists. They painted the majority of law-enforcement officers as both corrupt and racist. Published September 3, 2020

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: U.S. weakening; enemies know it

With universal mail-in voting and additional weakening of our election laws, there is no way we will know who has won the presidential election the night of Election Day. There will be delays, challenges and lawsuits galore, and all of this could mean months of delay. Trump will be president for the roughly two months following Election Day. The political left will, of course, accuse him of "stealing" the election. If there is no declared winner by Jan. 20, 2021, Nancy Pelosi, as speaker of the House, will automatically become interim president. These events will lead to a constitutional crisis, be historically unprecedented and tear this country apart. Published September 3, 2020

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Left creates problems to ‘solve’

Notice the similarity in appearance and behavior between the Islamic State and antifa. A classic way to attain power is to create a non-issue and then 'solve' it. The Democrats have over-reached, accusing President Trump of the things they were doing during the Obama sdministration. It began with the "Russian collusion" claim that lead to a costly, bogus, two-year investigation. Then it was Trump inquiring about Joe Biden's Ukrainian quid pro quo, which they flipped into a presidential impeachment. After that it was conflating cases of COVID-19 with the mortality rate of the virus. All of this is total nonsense. Yet Trump continued to work quietly for the American people while keeping the elites, disguised as Democrats, at bay. Published September 3, 2020
