LETTER: So many worthy causes; so few availble funds

Every day on the TV I see representatives of worthy causes asking for donations. Entities such as St. Jude and Wounded Warriors ask for as little as $19 per month from kind individuals.

We are told that Bill Gates and his wife are very generous with donations and I am sure that there are other billionaire donors. But just look at all of the billions of dollars that have been spent and wasted by the government in the past eight years. This has put this country on the verge of bankruptcy with nearly $20 trillion of debt. And what did we get for it?

I suggest that a few million dollars of that money could have set up all of these worthy entities forever and avoided all of these paltry pleas. Just a suggestion.

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.
