Letter: Trump undermines America
Our beautiful and hallowed U.S. Capitol has been attacked twice in history. The first attack was during the War of 1812 by the British and the second was Jan. 6, 2021, at the direction of Donald Trump. Examining who else, besides Donald, would thoroughly enjoy watching the U.S. Capitol brutally attacked, one would have to conclude Trump’s close friends Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un would most likely top the list. |
Letter: Choose good over evil
The USA will shortly express its choice between someone who has lofty standards in terms of conduct, work ethics, etc., and one who has spent their entire life lying, cheating and taking advantage of others. This is almost literally a choice between good and evil. Hopefully, the right choice will be made. The upsetting thing is that it appears to be a close contest with so many in this country apparently perfectly fine with someone who has been very obvious they will corrupt everything they touch. |
Letter: Support Erickson for utilities
I wholeheartedly endorse Sherry Erickson for public utility district commissioner. I have known Sherry and worked closely with her for many years. She is an intelligent, dedicated individual who brings her unique perspective to any task or problem. I have observed her in a variety of situations, even in very stressful moments, Sherry is always level-headed. She is kind, caring, organized and a great leader. I am confident that she will be a great addition to the Clark Public Utilities commission. |
Letter: Mind your own business
I’m writing this in response to David Wright’s letter (“There should be no confusion,” Our Readers’ Views, Oct. 17). I agree; there should be no confusion. Anyone who has read the Bible can’t honestly claim that the Bible is a moral guide. The Bible describes God as a baby killer and mass murderer. That doesn’t seem like moral behavior. |
Letter: Trump is poor leader
How long have you known Donald Trump? If you examined Trump prior to 2015, it is unlikely that you support him today. Few people who encountered Trump had respect for him. |
