Letters to the Editor for Aug. 11

‘Never befores’I read the Trump statement after the Mar-a-Lago FBI raid. Trump whimpered that this has never happened to a president of the United States before, to gain sympathy for his supposed persecution. He forgot to note the other “never befores” we have been subject to during his reign.

Pickrell admits that global warming is a global problem. With China, India and Russia building ever more coal-fired power plants, anything we do here in America to reduce our carbon footprint will make no difference whatsoever in the years and decades to come. On July 28, the Star reported a Senate breakthrough to address inflation, health-care, energy and climate. The Inflation Reduction Act is completely paid for ensuring that the largest corporations and the wealthiest pay their fair share and will reduce the deficit by $300 billion.

The CIA did not kill JFK. The moon landing was real. Bill Clinton did not have Vince Foster murdered. Sept. 11 was not an inside job. Hillary Clinton did not conspire to kill Americans in Benghazi. Obama was born in Hawaii. “Q” was a minor Star Trek character. A good guy with a gun rarely stops a bad guy with a gun. Conversion therapy doesn’t work. Outlawing abortion will result in needless deaths. Trump lost the popular vote twice and the electoral vote once.

Donald Trump only said one true thing in his entire political career: the system is rigged. It is rigged, riven with the kind of corruption only money can buy. We can thank our Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling for the farce our “democracy” has become. I see our Legislature has decided that we need protection from catalytic converter thieves and have passed legislation requiring anyone who buys a converter privately to report the purchase to the Department of Public Safety. While the theft of my converter would certainly be a nuisance, it is the private gun sales that our elected officials should be more concerned about. A converter in the hands of a criminal is one thing.
