LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Hungary important U.S. ally

Ambassador April H. Foley's cogent op-ed ("Orban in Washington," Web, May 12) sets forth with great clarity why positive re-engagement by the United States in Central and Eastern Europe — most recently manifested by President Trump's invitation of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to the White House this week — is welcome.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Warren ensuring own loss

Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is one of a multitude of Democrats hungering for Oval Office gold and, unlike many of the horde of wannabees who remain anonymous, is loud, proud and unbowed even when wrong ("Warren's anti-Fox sneer the kiss of campaign death," Web, May 14). She was wrong when proclaiming her ethnicity to be Native American (a claim the Cheyenne Nation ridiculed), has been woefully misguided in her economic pronouncements, and now falls flat when scorning an appearance on Fox News. I guess she can assert consistency as a virtue, but when one's campaign is consistently wrong, it tends, as Nobel-Prize-winner Bob Dylan sang, to sink like a stone.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Stop China in its tracks

China dreams of the day it dominates the U.S. Its predicted year for such domination is 2049, exactly 100 years from its Communist Revolution in 1949. Thus, the current trade negotiations carry with them much more than either the American public or the world knows. By using the leverage of a strong economy here in the United States — which President Trump has brought about through his policies —America can do much more than win the trade war. We can break the chains of any domination expected by the Communist Chinese and the evil world order they would institute.

EDITORIAL: Maybe Trump wants to use tariffs to ‘reindustrialize’ the United States

Donald Trump campaigned in 2016 on a platform with two main planks. He promised to secure the nation's southern border and preserve the United States as a sovereign power, one with the unquestioned right to determine who enters and who doesn't. That is still a work in progress, with no help from Democrats and some establishment Republicans and their allies in big business.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Dems distracting from crucial work

Perhaps now even the anti-Trump Republicans can see the stress and problems the partisan divide has caused and continues to cause domestically and internationally. There is no question that the rogue leaders of the CIA, FBI and Department of Justice were out to prevent Donald J. Trump's election success — and then, after he won anyway, remove him from office. They must be held accountable.

EDITORIAL: What Hillary Clinton, other Democrats can learn from baseball

Politics is a lot like baseball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. The difference is that if you lose, "there's no crying in baseball," as Tom Hanks reminded his ladies of the diamond in the movie "A League of Their Own." In baseball, you're supposed to hitch up your pants and move on to the next town, the next day and the next game. In politics you're allowed a few tears, and the Democrats know how to turn on the waterworks.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Masculinity saved lives

Forget the false narratives of toxic masculinity, #MeToo, campus sexual assault, intersectionality hierarchies and all the others of the over-the-edge, feminist/progressive ideologues. Let us instead return to the reality of the Greatest Generation and all the contributions that boys and men have made to Western civilization and contemporary society ("Teen who charged attackers was lone death in school shooting," Web, May 8). Celebrate boys, men, fathers and traditional masculinity.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: ‘Greentopia’ is human-free

The "Greens" dream of a zero-emissions world without coal, oil or natural gas. They need to think about they're wishing for.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Look closer at Tlaib et al.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Michigan Democrat, was sworn into Congress on her personal Koran. "My swearing in on the [Koran] is about me showing that the American people are made up of diverse backgrounds and we all have love of justice and freedom," Ms. Tlaib told the Detroit Free Press. "My faith has centered me. The prophet Mohammed was always talking about freedom and justice."

EDITORIAL: Iran’s hostility seems implacable, but a tiny flame of reconciliation burns in Korea

The two most obstreperous children in the "family" of nations are at it again, rattling sabers as if in unison. Iran's furtive provocations in the Persian Gulf are roiling the Middle East and North Korea's resumption of missile testing is once more putting Asia on edge. America's responses are distinctly different, because the Islamic state's hostility is uniformly implacable, and the flame of reconciliation still flickers within the Hermit Kingdom. Where there's light, there's hope.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Left might’ve still lost

In her column "We've got the horse right here" (Web, May 8), Suzanne Fields notes, as many have noted before her, that the Democrats are still angry Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 presidential election because the Electoral College (and not the popular vote, which she won) determined the winner.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Shut down terrorist schools

The mind-boggling video showing children in a Philadelphia Muslim school engaged in outright murderous, terrorist statements and chants as part of a supposed "performance" should prompt the Department of Justice and the FBI to act swiftly to shut it and similar schools down ("Muslim American Society says 'disturbing' video of children wasn't vetted," Web, May 5).

May 8, 2019

EDITORIAL: No cheating on friends

A president who talks and acts tough on trade has been a long time coming. Donald Trump made getting fair dealing on trade a major plank in his campaign platform and has followed through. China can't say it wasn't warned about the imposition this week of additional tariffs on selected goods coming into the United States.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Don’t like it? You wrote it

When any citizen files their tax forms, they are subject to IRS scrutiny that can lead to fines and/or criminal charges.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Something smells at the Fed

Stephen Moore makes a common but serious mistake when he calls the Federal Reserve a "powerful agency of government."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Barr smear last-gasp move

The Democrats in their infinite hatred for President Trump reminds me of an old story where a dog chases a bus until he catches it. Once that happened, the question posed was, Now that he caught it, what is he going to do with it?

EDITORIAL: Here come the driverless cars

America's lengthy love affair with the automobile is about to be put to the test. Self-driving cars, or as the techno-geeks call them, "highly autonomous vehicles," are revving up to take over the road, and sooner rather than later.

EDITORIAL: Democrats try to intimidate William Barr into breaking the law

Rep. Jerry Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, wants the attorney general, William Barr, to break the law. That's a curious, if not bizarre wish from a distinguished member of Congress. But Mr. Nadler and the Democrats, who are in a frenzy to salvage something from the collusion investigation they expected to deliver Donald Trump's head on a pike, have demanded the attorney general hand over an unredacted copy of the Mueller Report. That's against the law.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Cure this ‘disease’

Having once been a Democrat, I have started to delve into why that party has slipped into political deviance. I read somewhere that being a Democrat is akin to having a disease with physical and mental ramifications. It is "transmitted" through exposure to CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post and The New York Times. If you haven't been "vaccinated" against fake news, you're in danger. Scientists ought to identify it as "Psychogullibilitis" and work diligently for a cure, before the disease becomes an epidemic by the 2020 elections.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Go milk-less this Mother’s Day

Mother's Day, on May 12, celebrates the cherished bond between mother and child. But mother cows, very icons of motherhood, never get to see their own babies.
