I have no problem with the way in which individual players on professional football teams choose to make a statement, political or otherwise. I have a problem with their timing. They are at work from the moment they walk into the stadium until the game is over, or they leave the stadium. If I ever tried to make a big political statement at work I would be counseled or fired immediately. Not televising the national anthem at the beginning of the game takes away the platform the team members exploit to demonstrate their cause.
Shares Recently Peter Doocy of Fox News asked Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, about his failure to support the president’s agenda — the agenda the voters sent both President Trump and Mr. McCain to Washington to fulfill. Mr. McCain called the question stupid, seemingly implying that Mr. Doocy was stupid. Actually, neither the question nor Mr. Doocy is stupid. A lot of Americans would have liked to hear an honest answer from the senator rather than a nasty retort.
Shares Sen. John McCain’s recent tirade makes it apparent that he is part of the old Republican establishment that supports a new world order and globalization (“Trump issues warning to McCain after senator’s tough speech on ‘spurious nationalism,’” Web, Oct. 17). This new order has nearly resulted in the collapse of America, as witnessed by our involvement of one war after another, our open borders, unfair trade, economic bankruptcy, loss of jobs and low wages.
Shares The Times notes correctly that President Trump’s administration is dismantling great chunks of the Obama regulatory regime of executive orders and bureaucratic dictates, some unconstitutional (“Trump dismantles Obama’s ‘imperial’ presidency, rescinds dubious orders,” Web, Oct. 16). This is a great start, yet it’s just the prelude to a far more ambitious effort to roll back the administrative state.
Shares A pro-gun woman has been forced by the anti-gun political left to uproot her family and move due to threats of violence owing to her views on the Second Amendment (“Dana Loesch is the latest victim of the lunatic left,” Web, Oct. 16). The questions come so fast and furious that there is scarcely time to begin, but let’s, shall we?

In his column "Meltdown all-too-familiar for Washington fans" (Web, Oct. 13) Thom Loverro ponders where the Washington Nationals' playoff loss last Thursday to the Chicago Cubs will rank "among the D.C. Sports Hall of Failures. It's hard to judge one over the other."
Shares Fred Eckert's review of Charles J. Sykes' book, "How The Right Lost Its Mind" ("Conservatism betrayed," web, Oct. 9), stresses that Republicans abandoned their conservative "principles" and "truth" for "a new tribalism that valued neither." I'd say the Democrats did the same. And both parties have ignored the fundamental principles that our Declaration of Independence highlighted as "self-evident" truths 240 years ago.
Shares As it rejiggers Obamacare, the Trump administration has visited anew the idea that employers opposed to contraception for recreational sex as a matter of religious belief should not be forced to pay for it. Until Obamacare was forced upon an unwelcoming public by a strict party-line vote, men and the women we dated took it upon ourselves to provide the prerequisites for such recreation, including contraception.
Shares I enjoyed reading Judge Andrew P. Napolitano's recent op-ed on the NFL and protected speech ("Taking a knee and protected speech," Web, Oct. 11). I agree with the old Beatrice Evelyn Hall quote, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." However, I feel that the taking of a knee is really just egotistical grandstanding by players who make far more money than the average citizen of any skin color.

I want to thank Vice President Pence for walking out on the NFL and their overpaid traitors. I'm also grateful for President Donald Trump and his game-changing leadership of America-first values, processes, improvements and benefits. It was the Soros-Clinton-Democratic-National-Committee operatives who approached the NFL Players' Union in the first place — and ultimately Colin Kaepernick and his copy-cat resistors — are solely responsible for this mess.

The Las Vegas massacre was a terrible man-made atrocity, with 58 innocents dead. It led the Democrats to scream about gun control without giving the affected victims and their love ones the opportunity to heal. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California was among the most vocal, along with the loser of the 2016 presidential election.

As expected from the radical left, in the face of the tragic mass killings in Las Vegas the words of comfort to the grieving are rushed through to get to the usual political message about guns and the gun lobby. Forgive me, but I would like to offer another view on the subject of taking away our gun rights in order to stop senseless killing.
