LETTER: Clark County judge denigrates police

District Court Judge Erika Ballou should be stripped of her status after she directed an inflammatory comment toward police officers wherein she denigrated them while promoting a racial agenda (“Police union tells judge to quit,” Friday Review-Journal). Are we, the people, to believe this judge will be fair and impartial? Will ethnicity be her criteria for judging cases?

Lady Justice has a blindfold on to assure all defendants are treated without bias. Judge Ballou has obviously stripped her blindfold off and, in my opinion, forfeited her position to judge the public. Kudos to the Metro police union for taking Judge Ballou to task for her unethical and inappropriate comments.

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.
