THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Can Cheney defend her position?

The Washington Times should consider inviting Rep. Liz Cheney to a series of televised debates regarding the 2020 general election. Opponents could include Dinesh D'Souza and the "True The Vote" team: Peter Navarro, Seth Keshel, David Bossie, David Clements, Two Red Pills, etc. Ms. Cheney should be allowed to bring one or two "experts" to any debate.

After midterms, FBI will get overhaul

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is absolutely correct ("Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis decries 'weaponization' of federal agencies after Mar-a-Lago raid," Web, Aug. 9). The FBI is practicing partisan politics. Democrats have been trying to take former President Donald Trump down since day one when he was elected in 2016. Not only is it their central focus, it's become a national obsession.

The facts clear Trump on Jan. 6

Rep. Liz Cheney is a hypocrite. She continues to demean and punish former President Donald Trump. The Jan. 6 "hearings" leadership knows these facts to be true but chooses to hide them from the public.

Under Hamas, there’s no free press

Clifford May has done a tremendous service by highlighting how Hamas manipulates the press ("Reporters in Gaza have never been free," Web, Aug. 16). But it is worth noting that the Gaza-based terrorist group isn't alone in its efforts to shape media coverage.

FBI was doing its job

Rudy Giuliani said recently breaking into the home of a former president is a "political act." Those defending the current administration answer that it is a warranted judicial act, not a party attack.

JFK would be appalled

Do those of us who remember President John F. Kennedy ever wonder what happened to his style of Democrat?

The Clintons are behind it all

Conservative pundits and GOP leaders seem to have a permanent pronoun and political narrative problem. It's not "they" or the "radical Democrats" who are ruining our country for their own political payback. It's the Clintons, stupid.

CDC has lost people’s trust

People were fired from their jobs, prevented from participating in everyday-life activities and denied medical care -- all for failure to show proof that they received an mRNA shot they didn't want, as required by a mandate euphemistically referred to as "CDC guidance." So much for "My body, my choice."

The new Democratic Party playbook

In "Bear hunting in Mar-a-Lago" (Web, Aug. 9), Charles Hurt writes, "If you are going to shoot a grizzly bear, you better kill it."

Justice Department fishing expedition

In his robotic, sanctimonious, no-questions-taken press conference last weekend, Attorney Gen. Merrick Garland said the Justice Department had no alternative to its unannounced, dawn-to-moonlight raid on Mar-a-Lago ("Attorney general's attempts to defend Trump raid fail to quiet GOP attacks," Web, Aug. 14). The urgency, he implied, was too great for any alternative, such as issuing a subpoena or working with the Trump staff.

Lack of morals, parenting causes violence

There is a terrible trend spreading across the U.S., modeled recently by a young woman from Baltimore County, Maryland, who is accused of shooting a firefighter in the face with a BB gun (and trying to run over another firefighter).

FBI double standard at play

"Justice Department moves to unseal Trump search warrant; Garland personally approved search" (Web, Aug. 11) stands in sharp contrast to the FBI's allowing Hillary Clinton to bleach and destroy electronic devices. Furthermore, the FBI allowed Mrs. Clinton to have her lawyers delete 33,000 emails from her private unsecured server, a move that resulted in the deletion of at least five classified and 147 work-related emails later recovered from other sources.

Citizens have right to make own guns

Recently Baltimore sued "ghost gun" kit maker Polymer80 for selling to private citizens. In a constitutional republic, only those privileges specifically allowed to public servants can be performed, while all else is absolutely denied.

Left is making Trump a martyr

Democrats are so desperate to prevent former President Donald Trump from running for reelection in 2024 that they are willing to use literally any means available to them -- including the Justice Department -- to prevent it ("Raid at Mar-a-Lago spurs suspicions about a mole in Trumpworld," Web, Aug. 11). In the meantime, criminal wrongdoing by Hunter and Joe Biden and Hillary and Bill Clinton go uninvestigated and unprosecuted.

Aim ire at Biden, not Abbott

New York City Mayor Eric Adams' complaint against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for busing migrants here is misplaced ("Texas starts busing illegal immigrants directly to New York," Web, Aug. 5). Mr. Adams' beef should be with President Biden for allowing these immigrants to come to the U.S. in the first place.

Tainted law enforcement the real danger

I consider former President Donald Trump a danger to American democracy, but the more proximate danger is a federal law-enforcement edifice run amok ("America's dark age of guilty until proven innocent," Web, Aug 11).

‘Win at any cost’ will backfire

What happened to "It's the way you play the game that really counts"? Maybe it was never that way. It could be that winning was always the only thing that mattered. But we used to at least pay lip service to the high-minded rules of decorum.

RINOs show true colors after raid

With the Mar-a-Lago raid, the Marxist "Obamunists" are sending a message that they are untouchable ("FBI puts credibility on line with Trump raid," Web, Aug. 9). Period. FBI Director Christopher Wray was arrogant and unapologetic in testimony before the Senate -- and he then used a government plane to fly off to his vacation spot. That was icing on the cake.

Democrats like to pass legislation blindly

President Biden said this week that the so-called Inflation Reduction Act funds "everything from health care to God knows what else." This reminds me of what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said about the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. She said, "We have to pass the bill, so that you can find out what is in it." So much for transparency in government when it comes to Mr. Biden, Mrs. Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer.

Treatment of Trump should alarm all

I've heard it said that we all have three different careers during our working years. My second one was as a special agent for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Throughout the nearly 14 years I served in that capacity, it never once crossed my mind that the heads of the FBI or the CIA might be criminally corrupt. I never would have believed differences of opinion might lead to extralegal activity by the very people responsible for enforcing our laws. Boy was I wrong.
