Letters

Regarding “Bannon still on for one festival, out of another” (Review-Journal, September 5), the article stated that Steve Bannon’s invitation to speak at the New Yorker festival was withdrawn because of threats by Jim Carrey and other “elites” but was still on at a festival hosted by The Economist.

The Wayne Allyn Root commentary on the Nike Kaepernick issue (“Nike vs. In-N-Out: The Silent Majority has spoken,” Thursday Review-Journal) was very timely. The current “Hate America” movement is obviously gaining recognition — it now even includes Nike.

George Pucine’s letter in last Wednesday’s Review-Journal, “Escaping California,” left me puzzled. If he wanted to live in a conservative environment, why didn’t he move to Utah, Idaho or Texas? If liberal political renderings are totally unacceptable to him, he could have moved to a different country where liberal ideas are against the law, like Russia or North Korea. Our country is a mix of political ideals. Trying to run away from political atmospheres that you disagree with is fine but don’t bring your left-hating ideals to my state and then slam what I appreciate here.

Unfortunately, we see almost daily stories of missing children. I’ve suggested for 10 years a way to stop that immediately or, at least, be able to find those missing within minutes.

In reference to the September 4 question asked by Paul Ware of “who wants to live only 95 miles from the country’s nuclear waste dump?”:

I live in a small subdivision, one block long by three blocks, in a very nice neighborhood. I notice the school bus picks up kids at their door. Childhood obesity is a huge problem. Can’t the kids even walk to the entry of the subdivision? It appears this door-to-door service is very common.

I find it disgraceful how the Ferttitas flaunted their wealth on the wedding of Kelley Fertitta and Tyler Nemiro when they have not given their employees a raise in six years.

Not knowing Barry Perea of Las Vegas, but having a similar experience with Congresswoman Jacky Rosen allows me to empathize with him. I, too, contacted Rep. Rosen’s office and used the online system that requires much personal info.

John Stossel’s commentary of September 4 argues that there is web censorship of conservative articles. One example is that the first 10 pages of a search on climate skepticism were critical of climate change skepticism.

I am sick inside with a mixture of anger and sadness. Eight year old Levi Echenique was killed by a drunk driver. And I am sick with hurt. I am a pediatrician, and Levi was my patient.
