LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Shore up U.S. infrastructure

It speaks volumes about our nation's misplaced priorities that we've spent $60 billion on Iraq's infrastructure reconstruction and $100 billion on Afghanistan's infrastructure reconstruction — more than what was spent on post-World-War-II reconstruction of Germany ($35 billion in today's dollars). Yet here in America we have no such a plan in place to rebuild our own infrastructure.

EDITORIAL: Eliminating fossil fuels would risk a descent into darkness

Inventiveness plus boldness equals progress. Liberal "activists" who want to revolutionize the nation's energy resources demonstrate political moxie, but if their campaign to substitute renewable sources for fossil fuels — oil and gas — succeeds it will take more than happy thoughts to keep the lights on.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Don’t let ‘Big Tech’ in

The promise of Big Tech was utopian, but the reality is dystopian ("Big Tech unites Democrats, Republicans behind anti-trust crackdown," Web, June 4). The utopian promise was of a world of friends and 'likes' but the dystopian reality is a world of censorship, mind control, Big-Brother-controlled searches, the sale of private information and rule by outraged mobs.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Trump gets results

With the threat of tariffs just days away, Mexico finally agreed to help stem the flow of illegal immigrants travelling through their country to get to our southern border. The results President Trump gets are amazing. He's been a superior leader compared to at least the past four presidents.

EDITORIAL: Japan might prevent a collision with the West

Dealing with misleading truisms is part of life, but so is refusing to accept what fate has supposedly decreed. It's a sad fact that the Islamic Republic of Iran has been crossways with the United States and the West for 40 years. But we're entitled to hope that the past is not a prologue to the future this time.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Biden, Trump both flip-floppers

There is not much in common between President Trump and Joe Biden, but one regrettable thread which renders them two peas in a pod is hypocrisy on the issue of abortion rights. Mr. Trump had formerly proclaimed himself "strongly pro-choice." He became "pro-life" for political gain, seeing it as the way to garner support from Republicans, and particularly from people of faith, and it worked. He has gone even further in seeking to make it more difficult for women here and in other countries to secure birth control. (I wonder what those who tout the president's current position on abortion think he would do if one of the women with whom he had affairs had an inconvenient pregnancy.)

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Stop coup attempts now

The left's false bravado in attacking President Trump from every possible perspective is both alarming and criminal. If I were to threaten the president, we can be sure that I would get a visit from the Secret Service and that the FBI would likely want a piece of me as well.

LETTER TO THR EDITOR: Trump right on tariffs

President Trump is right to try to impose a 5-percent tariff on Mexican goods.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Hold damaging left accountable

Joe Biden is running for president to feed his ego.

EDITORIAL: It’s still trial by jury, Nancy

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has updated the old adage, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." She says "if you can't impeach him, jail him."

EDITORIAL: The 6th of June, 1944

Not everyone gets to save the world. Before the colors of the Sixth of June 1944 fade into the mists of time, we remember after the passage of 75 years the uncommon sacrifice of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of America, of Britain and Canada.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: No apology necessary

My purpose in writing is neither to be political nor to condemn a church.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Clean house in Congress

The Democratic Party has gone totally nuts. They won't support better protection for our southern border, they won't support deportation of illegal aliens, and they propose to give citizenship to the illegals already here, which only entices more illegals to break through, same as it did the last time they offered the deal.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Democrats have had their chance

Impeach, impeach, impeach. Turn on the TV and it seems all the news channels are talking about it — but they never say exactly which "high crimes and misdemeanors" the president has committed

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Left killing own future voters

Instead of fighting so hard to prevent abortions, maybe Republicans should look at it from a different angle.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Real injustice

Let's look clearly at "obstruction of justice." What President Trump's partisan opponents did to him during and after the 2016 election campaign was gross injustice. If there was obstruction by Mr. Trump, it was not of justice but of injustice.

EDITORIAL: A caution for Tariff Man

President Trump is fond of tariffs, seeing them as both a means and an end.

June 3, 2019

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Real estate prepared him well

I laughed out loud when I read that Iran's foreign minister dismissed President Trump's olive branch for a peaceful resolution to the Iranian nuclear threat ("Iran will use 'whatever missiles it wants' to stop U.S. aggression, foreign minister warns," Web, June 2).

June 3, 2019

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Pro-life isn’t anti-woman

There's a clear trend at play when pro-life males debate pro-choice advocates: Many of the latter argue that men shouldn't be allowed to have an opinion on abortion, that it concerns only women.

EDITORIAL: Roy Moore troubles roil a race to replace Doug Jones

The Republicans really, really don't want Roy Moore to run again for the U.S. Senate. He might be the only politician in Alabama more unpopular than Doug Jones, the Democratic incumbent, but he could scramble a primary and might open a way for Mr. Jones to win another term. Republicans know they have to be careful in dealing with Roy Moore. Voters don't like it when outsiders meddle, even if they're friendly outsiders.
