LETTER: Justice is not always served

Two Friday articles remind us that our “justice system” does not work well. It works better as an “injustice” system.

First, after the O.J. Simpson murder trial in the 1990s, jurors acknowledged that a guilty verdict was deserved but they made a decision based upon racial considerations. Then when O.J. tried to get his stolen possessions back in Las Vegas, he ended up in prison for years. This was not justice in either case.

Second, extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was initially rejected by Congress. The act was abused and illegally used in spying on Donald Trump and his campaign. It more than deserves rejection. Of course, this will not prevent the “intelligence community” from performing more illegal acts.

Climate change is an existential threat to mankind, animals and plants. Why doesn’t the Biden family lead the way?

LETTER: The Trump show trial

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.
