So now that COVID-19 seems to have disappeared from the mainstream consciousness, just a few questions:

Why didn’t the virus wipe out the homeless population? Why did COVID basically avoid Africa? Why is it that most of the people who tested positive were asymptomatic? Why did lockdowns do nothing to stop the spread? Why were football stadiums filled with maskless people but schoolchildren were wearing masks?

Why weren’t the violent protests of 2020 considered to be super-spreader events? Why do the boxes that masks come in say that they do not stop viruses, but we were told to wear them to stop the virus? Why did more people die of COVID after we had the vaccine than before?

Just asking for a friend.

LETTER: Sonia Sotomayor, retirement and race
Joseph Craig Kanab, Utah

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon
Kent Davidson Las Vegas

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.
