LETTER: Dina Titus takes predictable shot at Donald Trump’s immigration policy

Being forever true to her uber-liberal core, Rep. Dina Titus did what she does best. She takes a swipe at Donald Trump’s immigration order by making sweeping generalizations about the numbers and ethnicity of our visitors and the money they spend in our casinos (Tuesday letter to the Review-Journal).

Rep. Titus’s “harrowing look” at Mr. Trump’s order would have us believe that it will severely impact the numbers of our international visitors which, by her count, was about 8.6 million last year.

Seriously, how many of those 8.6 million international visitors would actually have been affected by the order? How many refugees are applying for a wine-and-dine pass to come to Las Vegas for a little drinking and gambling, despite the fact that Islam strictly forbids drinking and gambling?

I searched and searched and nowhere did I find the Rep. Titus’s letter from 2010 criticizing Barack Obama’s six-month ban on Iraqi refugees.

Could it be because Mr. Obama is a member of her party and there truly was no impact on Nevada’s economy?

Rep. Titus should take a stand and stop the fearmongering on behalf of the Democrats over this temporary order. Unfortunately, I fear this is but a snapshot as to what we can expect to come from her office as she responds publicly to each and every step Mr. Trump makes during his presidency.

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.
