Guilty of what, exactly?
I found "Trump a 'flight risk' if criminal charges filed: 'He's got money, he's got property'" (Web, Jan. 13) to be in poor taste. Published January 14, 2021

Nation not Congress'
The ruling elite of Washington are now boasting, if not warning, that they have full control of all three branches of our government. Published January 14, 2021
National Guard at Capitol pure theater
it is being reported that there are more U.S. soldiers garrisoning Washington than there are in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. This would strongly suggest that all these troops have been deployed not for the purposes of national defense, but for political stage management. Published January 14, 2021
Why Sen. Joe Manchin should switch parties
If, as he insists, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia opposes his fellow Democrats' far-left agenda, there would be no more effective way of doing that than for him to switch parties and become a Republican. Published January 14, 2021
Pitfalls of moral certitude
When you believe that your political position is the only moral one, conventional rules of decorum may be sidestepped. Published January 13, 2021
Trump a modern-day Teddy Roosevelt
Donald J. Trump is the Theodore Roosevelt of our time. Published January 13, 2021
Big Tech blocks can't last
With titanic left-wing organizations such as Google, Amazon, Facebook and Twitter exercising their monopolistic power to stifle conservative debate in the U.S., I see huge opportunity for conservatives who seek to express and promote conservative views. Published January 13, 2021
Impeachment: What democracy doesn't look like
Yes, it was an attempt to alter the American political order using means other than an election by the people. Published January 13, 2021
The endangered free thinker: Social media's Trump cancellation is spreading
Philosophers have long debated whether humanity's discovery of the means to split the atom might have sown the seeds of its own destruction. Published January 12, 2021
Who's to blame for incitement?
If for five long years a dog is abused, it is understand when said dog finally decides to fight back, biting its abuser. Well, the Democrats conspired and abused President Trump and his 75 million supporters year after year until the masses rose up and protested in Washington. Those scant few who committed crimes at the Capitol last week didn't act or speak on behalf of the law-abiding people who protested. Published January 12, 2021
Accept it: Israel not going anywhere
Are we still ruminating about Israel building homes in areas that will be part of Israel if and when the Palestinian Authority decides to make peace ("Israel announces new settlements, risking Biden's anger," Web, Jan. 11)? Published January 12, 2021
Who is Biden to talk 'racism'?
"Black conservatives push back as Biden, Democrats allege racism in Capitol police response" (Web, Jan. 11) demonstrates two major issues. First is the short-term memory problems of Joe Biden and second is the continuation of a long-standing use by the Democrats of racism as a deflection. Published January 12, 2021
Biden's COVID-19 strategy: hope
So President-elect Biden is going to use all of the available COVID-19 vaccines to provide initial shots to twice as many people -- and hope there is sufficient supply available for the necessary second shots ("Biden will not hold back COVID-19 vaccine doses, will maximize supply as manufacturing catches up," Web, Jan. 8).

Hold oath takers accountable
The first clause of the oath of office for every employee and elected official of the United States reads, "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." The oath's second clause reads, in part, "I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same," meaning that the oath taker "will bear true faith and allegiance to the" Constitution. The presidential oath is different. Published January 11, 2021
Second impeachment try is nonsense
Unfortunately Democrats are attempting another baseless attempt to impeach President Donald Trump. This a political and personal hit job based on the hatred of the president by the Democrats and liberal media. The main contention -- that Mr. Trump incited last week's riot on the Capitol -- has no merit and would not survive in a court of law. Published January 11, 2021
Paroxysms on the Potomac: Democrats dominate with hypocrisy
Washington is in an uproar. Nothing like the current fireworks has lit up the Washington skyline since the last time congressional Democrats attempted to boot Donald Trump from the presidency. After four years of slinging mud at the Trump White House, including a previous impeachment only a year ago, Democrats claim their nemesis is too disreputable to remain in office for one more week. Hypocrisy is seldom so rank. Published January 11, 2021
Violence OK in leftist protests?
There has been a great deal of sententious cant denouncing President Trump for his "incitement" of the break-in at the U.S. Capitol building last week. Much of the quivering moral outrage is just so much two-faced humbug. Published January 10, 2021
Keep promises of healing, Mr. Biden
Every president-elect promises that on Day One in the Oval Office untold effort will be made to reach across the aisle, play nice and jointly pave the road to prosperity for all Americans. Published January 10, 2021
Capitol unrest set us all back
What happened last week at the Capitol was both tragic and predictable. There was no program planned that allowed participants to positively channel their emotions, enthusiasm and anger. Published January 10, 2021
Mainstream media suddenly aghast
The lawlessness perpetrated at the U.S. Capitol last week should be strongly condemned; it was reprehensible. Equally reprehensible, however, is the newly discovered righteousness of the Democrats and their obsequious myrmidons in the "lamestream" media and Big Tech. Published January 10, 2021
