LETTER: Las Vegas could take a tip from Portland regarding federal buildings

I think Las Vegas (and unincorporated Clark County) should take a cue from Portland and kick out all federal agents protecting federal buildings. Then, when the buildings are burned to the ground, we will demand federal funds to rebuild them.

The nice thing about this plan is that it works on a four-year cycle. Burn it down before an election. If you get the result you want, let it be rebuilt. Burn it down again when the next election comes around just to remind everyone you mean business. Repeat. This keeps a steady stream of revenue coming into Las Vegas through the construction of the same building. And we haven’t even touched on the ancillary benefits of yelling and screaming.

Sorry, Las Vegas, we are doing it wrong.

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.

A lot of us walk or jog in the summer nights when it cools down. The juice vendor was a wonderful break before starting the return half of our exercise. Alas, never more.
