LETTER: Manchin didn’t kill Build Back Better

I find it rather comical that the Democrats keep saying one person, Sen. Joe Manchin, held up passage of the Build Back Better legislation. Actually it was 51 senators — possibly 52, if you add Arizona Democrat Kyrsten Sinema to the mix. If the Democrats could have persuaded a few from the GOP to vote yes, they would not have even needed Sens. Manchin or Sinema to get on board.

Also, from what I have seen on the news, about 70 percent of the American people are not in favor of this legislation. Let’s bury this boondoggle and move on to more important things, such as rampant inflation and crime.

Remember, Martin Luther King, Mahatma Ghandi and Sir Thomas More — all innocent men — were also declared to be guilty.

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.
