Strip convicted employees of benefits

Members of Congress are looking into FCI Dublin, a federal women's prison in California where inmates claim they have been sexually abused by the male staff. Thus far four employees, including the former warden and the former chaplain, have been arrested.

Russians must rise up and remove Putin

How one evil and brutal person in this world can cause the damage and devastation that Russian President Vladimir Putin has wrought in Ukraine in a world that is supposed to be civilized is a shock to me.

Americans must unite like Ukrainians

When Abraham Lincoln faced off against Stephen Douglas in their first debate on Aug. 21, 1858, Lincoln said, "Before proceeding, let me say I think I have no prejudice against the Southern people. They are just what we would be in their situation. If slavery did not now exist among them, they would not now introduce it. If it did now exist amongst us, we would not instantly give it up."

U.S. vowed to protect Ukraine

The U.S., Britain and Russia (yes, Russia!) were the signatories to the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which called for Ukraine to hand over the third-largest supply of nukes to Russia in return for the U.S., Britain and Russia agreeing to protect Ukraine from future invasion.

Delusional Biden has blood on hands

President Biden's State of the Union was based on delusional rhetoric. He has blood on his hands for giving Vladimir Putin the green light to invade Ukraine, which stems from running out of Afghanistan like a coward.

Fix ‘main event,’ don’t hype ‘side shows’

Black History Month was a missed opportunity to focus on the efforts of groups and individuals capable of redirecting the current social narratives that are crippling our culture. It reminds me of the '70s R&B song "Side Show" and how easily we are distracted from doing what is necessary.

Ukraine a country of possibility

Despite Ukraine's dark history of antisemitism, going back centuries to Cossack pogroms and the collaboration of some anti-Soviet nationalists with Nazis during World War II, after President Zelenskyy's election in 2019 the country became the only one outside Israel to have both a president and a prime minister who are Jewish.

Home-school families are taxpayers, too

The teachers unions should have absolutely no say in the policies and practices of our public schools, which are funded by parents and other taxpayers ("Maryland home-schoolers fight bill that would 'gather information' on them," Web, Feb. 21). And even though home-schoolers do not use public schools' teachers or administrators, their families still pay the full taxes to support them.

Putin wants Ukraine at all costs

Unlike Adolf Hitler, who sought to eradicate existing populations for resettlement by the Aryan race, Vladimir Putin seeks to enslave existing populations to drain surrounding economies and natural resources in a virtual restoration of czarist serfdom. Ukraine, the "breadbasket of Europe," formerly provided 25% of the entire agricultural production of the former Soviet Union.

U.S., NATO should move into western Ukraine

Since the Russians are essentially occupying eastern Ukraine and attacking Kyiv from the north, east and south, maybe NATO military forces, with U.S. support, should move into western Ukraine to prevent Russia from completely overrunning it. Air cover would have to be provided for the ground forces.

Look where climate zealotry got us

I first started questioning "man-made climate change" when zealots claimed it was settled science ("Environmental jihadists spark invasion of Ukraine," Web, Feb. 28). No science is settled. To get the facts behind climate change, I recommend Steven E. Koonin's book, "Unsettled."

Russian people must depose Putin now

Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine is proving much more deadly for Russia than its 10-year war in Afghanistan. While fighting in Afghanistan, the Soviet Union lost over 50,000 soldiers. The Ukrainian representative to the United Nations revealed that approximately 5,000 Russian soldiers had died in the first five days of the attack on Ukraine.

NATO our last hope in Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin is an apex predator. He is a pupil of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin's tactics, if not a pupil of Stalin's full ideology. As Stalin assassinated his rivals, most notably Leon Trotsky in 1940, so has Putin done with some of his opponents. As Stalin brought the show trial to Moscow, Putin has followed suit.

How far we’ve fallen

Much is made of former President Donald Trump's tweets, outspokenness, comportment and dietary habits. Mr. Trump had goals when he was in office, and despite many obstacles in his way he achieved most of them in just four years.

Trump would have been tough on Putin

Fewer than 14 months ago we had a U.S. president who would have kicked Russian leader Vladimir Putin's behind. Now we are in a mess on so many fronts that not even a newspaper editorial has space to list all of them.

Congress a spineless drain on taxpayers

That POTUS 46 is a fraud, a pathological liar, a socio/psychopath and a closeted Communist traitor, and should have been abundantly clear on his first day in office. Yet Congress has been silent on this and much, much more, for decades.

U.S. weakness was invitation to China

It could not have been scripted or set up any better: The now-closer-allied Russia and China are making moves against the United States, Ukraine, Taiwan and beyond. The goal? World dominance.

Biden could have prevented war

There are a few inconvenient facts of history. First, America has participated in a 100-year, repetitive pattern of investing heavily in communist/autocratic countries when they sweet-talk us, and pulling back a little when they invade other countries or kill their own people.

February 25, 2022

How can we justify war?

It is terrible that the human race can even imagine war. The thought of mass killing and the mutilation of men, women and children and the destruction of the work and creativity of good people should be inconceivable.

Neither Trudeau nor Biden can be trusted

I noticed that Sir Justin the Brave quietly rescinded the "emergency" and is now "unfreezing" accounts, his sock-puppet finance minister at his side ("Justin Trudeau revokes emergency powers after Canada blockades end," Web, Feb. 23). Gee, do you think there might have been a run on the Canuck banks?
