LETTER: The GOP and Donald Trump

The Republican Party has become untethered to reality and has lost all legitimacy. After congressional leaders made the unwise decision to not participate in the Jan. 6 committee, they are facing the “drip by drip” revelations without a means of countering the damning information other than to persecute those of their party who still have honor and integrity and are trying to find out what happened and who was responsible for this horrendous attack on our democracy.

Having made a deal with the devil, GOP leaders have striven to ignore essential truth, which is that former President Donald Trump is a traitor to our country, and all those who continue to support an individual who publicly admits that he was trying to overturn a fair election are fellow travelers who should be removed immediately in the next election.

Only then can sanity again prevail and the country move forward with a legitimate two-party system based on opposing rational philosophical differences.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
