LETTER: The Jan. 6 committee versus summer urban uprisings

I read with interest Victor Davis Hanson’s June 19 commentary, “What the Jan. 6 committee might have been.” Mr. Hanson lists a number of demonstrations that occurred throughout 2021. I point out that the House voted on May 19, 2021, to approve legislation to establish an independent commission to investigate the violent insurrection on Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol, with 35 Republicans breaking with their party to support the bill.

What Mr. Hanson did not do is refute anything the committee presented in the hearing to date.

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

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

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.
