LETTER: Review-Journal stories highlight winners and losers

The two front-page stories in your Saturday edition were a perfect example of the contrast between winners and losers.

First was the uplifting story of the North Las Vegas police officer and his wife, and their commitment to providing better lives for the children who experienced the terrible tragedy of having their father murdered, apparently by their mother. The compassion and concern officer Nick Quintana and his wife have demonstrated by their actions show a level of basic goodness and absolute unselfish motivation not often seen in today’s angry society. In my eyes, they truly can be counted among those whose personal values we see as examples of winners.

Then of course, came the second story, “AG candidate in feud with former ally.” The disgusting example of how political ambition can turn some people into self-centered, self-important, self-promoting, back-stabbing, double-dealing, narcissistic, power hungry “climbers.” For these people, the primary and perhaps only motivation in life consists of, “What’s in for me?” And in my eyes, they truly can be counted among those whose personal values we see as examples of losers.

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.
