THE WASHINGTON TIMES

EDITORIAL: Honoring sacrifice at Shanksville

President Trump's vision for replacing the holes in the ground left when the World Trade Center towers fell on Sept. 11, 2001, was to build them back stronger, straight, and one floor taller.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Left’s Trump attacks will continue

Bob Woodward's anti-Trump book, "Fear: Trump in the White House," hit the media spotlight just 60 days prior to the midterm congressional elections. Mr. Woodward's publisher is Simon & Schuster, an affiliate subsidiary of CBS Corp. and its news division, which vilifies and selectively reports on the president. In this context, there is no coincidence to be found in the timing of the Woodward book release.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: ‘Anonymous’ may not be far away

The recent anonymous New York Times op-ed highlighting serious problems with President Trump and allegedly written by a senior official in the Trump administration is not an unexpected development in the recent news cycle.

September 12, 2018

EDITORIAL: Paranoia on the Potomac

Suspicion as deep and wide as the Potomac River is flowing through the corridors of power in Washington. Set loose by hardened opponents of President Trump with charge and countercharge about suspected collusion with Russians bent on cooking an American election, it threatens to swamp the swamp, if that's possible, and drown us all in endless acrimony.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Identify ‘Anonymous’ now

President Trump has called the anonymous op-ed recently published by The New York Times a security risk. Many TV talking heads have mocked this comment, but the president is right. The piece by a "senior government member of the Trump administration" shows the member's disregard for the oath he took to be faithful to the U.S. Constitution, which designates the president chief executive. This individual's cavalier attitude toward this obligation makes it imperative that the U.S. attorney general find out who he is, where he works and what clearances he holds. If he holds a top-secret clearance and has access to classified information, that information could be at risk in the event he takes a similar attitude toward his obligation to protect it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Anonymous op-ed traitorous

Many Democrats and folks in the mainstream media are gleeful about the gutless, anonymous New York Times op-ed boasting about "protecting the nation" from the president, who was elected to carry out the will of his voters.

EDITORIAL: Trump and his media tormentors thrive trading insult and injury

If Donald Trump has the kryptonite powers of Superman that both his friends and enemies think he has (and who are we to say he doesn't?), kryptonite power #1 is his ability to absorb limitless drama and energy from an attack and send it back at his attacker in bursts of invective from both mouth and thumbs.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Trump will overcome

Now that the Mueller investigation is fizzling to a conclusion, the left is shifting its focus to the 25th Amendment by addressing the supposed incapacity of the president to deal with his office. The New York Times' anonymous op-ed writer from the Trump White House and Bob Woodward's book "Fear: Trump in the White House" are the most recent attempts by a desperate left-wing media to trash President Trump and remove him from the office to which he was elected by the will of the people. But these ludicrous attempts to get to President Trump will all fail because in the end he has done nothing wrong, he is sound of mind and he has led this nation to one of its great eras in a very short amount of time.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Consequences for inaction

Americans, wake up. Your employees are failing you. That's right — you employ your senators and state representatives. And yet I sometimes wonder if you even know their names.

September 10, 2018

EDITORIAL: Cash in their pockets may push satisfied voters to lean right

Summer isn't what it used to be. Almost nothing is. But with the dying of the happiest season we return refreshed to the demands of job, family and community. Labor Day has come and gone and Americans are stepping back into the harness of duty. The advent of autumn kicks off the midterm election season, and with that comes forecasts, if not actual answers to how the national mood will determine success for Republican and Democrat.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Abortion condemns

In Roe v. Wade the Supreme Court made an immoral procedure legal — but it cannot make that procedure moral. Nor can anyone rightly say that abortion isn't murder, since Jesus in the Didache taught His followers that abortion is murder and the way of death for anyone involved in supporting it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Remember lives lost later, too

Tomorrow the bell at Ground Zero will once again toll and the roll call of the 2,996 human beings murdered in Osama bin Laden's heinous attack on Spet. 11, 2001, will once again be read. Their names are etched in the perpetuity of stone. When will America begin tolling a bell, reading the litany of names, and on what wall or monument will we put that ever-growing, longer list of the thousands who continue to die as a result of bin Laden's attacks?

September 9, 2018

EDITORIAL: The New York Times abets nothing less than an attempted coup

For more than a year, President Trump raged at "the deep state" which he believed was arrayed against him, a cabal of highly placed men and women within the federal government, many of them holdover remnants of the Obama administration, working to destroy him and his agenda by any means necessary.

September 6, 2018

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: McCain was no saint

Let's provide an accurate portrayal of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain — the good, the bad and the ugly, and not create a myth. Yes, he was a war hero, tortured beyond belief; he became a senator, but he had faults, including adultery, accepting questionable donations/gifts (see the Keating scandal), advocating war and having an explosive personality.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Say no to more Kerry

The good news about John Kerry is that he is no longer secretary of State ("John Kerry says Trump 'doesn't know what he's talking about' on Iran deal," Web, Sept. 2). The bad news is that he has again become involved in politics, supporting what many consider to be his poorest decisions while in office.

EDITORIAL: Nike’s $4 billion fumble

Americans love villains, or at least love to hate them. Darth Vader beating up on dashing Luke Skywalker and Lord Voldemort scaring the innocent young Harry Potter are the stuff of tales that affirm the triumph of good over evil. When the script is flipped and the anti-hero prevails, audiences boo, hiss and jeer. So, too, there's hissing at Nike's attempt to transform Colin Kaepernick, the league's bad boy, into Sergeant York. Americans aren't buying it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Youth need ‘social intervention’

As a youth counselor, I agree with the Rev. Jasper Williams Jr. ("Aretha Franklin funeral eulogy slammed; pastor stands firm," Web, Sept. 2). Maybe he could have selected another time to say what he did, but his words are true. I urge anybody that disagrees with him to visit a juvenile court and see the lack of male presence among represented parental support. Or how about on any given late night in any inner-city neighborhood? You can see a large number or youth wandering the streets. Why is this, and where are their parents?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Confirmation protests childish

The pathetic, embarrassing behavior of the Democrats and their outlandish, unhinged minions who screamed their heads off at the conformation hearing to make Judge Brett Kavanaugh a Supreme Court justice crossed the line of common decency and decorum ("Kavanaugh withstands Democrats' coordinated attack: 'I am a pro-law judge,'" Web, Sept. 4).

September 5, 2018

EDITORIAL: Brett Kavanaugh sits for questions, and Democrats produce only a lot of noise

The Democrats, notably including the editors of The New York Times, have decided that the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings are but a charade, and they're right for once. But they're right, alas, for the wrong reasons.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Government won’t fix factories

What Stephen Moore and his fellow economists — most of whom have never worked on or managed a factory production line — don't understand is that filling empty U.S. factories with idled U.S. factory workers will raise prices for products made in the United States ("The threat of tariffs may work," Web, Sept. 2).
