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

When the United States entered World War I, it gave an emotional lift to France and England, while discouraging the war weary German army. I hope this latest military aid package just approved by Congress will provide a similar lift for Ukraine and NATO, while discouraging the Russian army and leading Putin to end the war. It happened in World War I with the German army, and it could conceivably occur again with the Russians, who need to know that victory cannot occur if the Allies stay united.

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.

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.
