LETTER: Here’s something to consider when you vote for president this year

The recent letter to the editor defending MAGA types never gets around to what most people think of as MAGA. Most people understand the term to refer to those who slavishly stand with the defeated president. They accept his idea that the opposing political party is without honor, anti-America even.

I don’t think you can defend the present GOP without discussing the dangerous ideas fueling a large portion of its base. No sliding around it. It’s there.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way
Martha Olson Las Vegas

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy
Bruce A. Kesselman Las Vegas

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

The functional reality is that members of Congress need to keep Social Security alive or they will be voted out of office.
