Hillary Clinton’s child-care scheme is more kids in federal preschool

Raising children has never been more challenging. Just ask the new mother who drops off her crying six-week-old infant at a child care center, drying her tears, because she can't afford to stay home with her baby.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Don’t make victims pay twice

As a Beirut-campaign combat veteran and Oklahoma City bombing rescue volunteer, I understand well the heavy emotional and financial toll that acts of terror take on victims and their loved ones.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Pre-election discourse just drivel

In these times, one might desire the national pre-election dialogue to focus on the wise defense of our nation, the marshalling of tax dollars to actually repair or rebuild our infrastructure, the strengthening of our borders and the overhauling of our education system, which is infested by teachers' unions and politically correct curricula.

Voter ID laws can restore confidence in election results

The Democrats, who imagine they have the franchise on ethics in politics, have argued for years that there's no such thing as voter fraud, and anyone who says that such wickedness exists is a racist in a small closet who ventures out from time to time to keep minority voters, i.e., blacks, from voting.

‘Values voters’ can determine next president

The 2016 presidential election season has not been kind to values voters. It's hard to imagine how America can recapture its place as "a shining city on hill" when most campaign coverage is about sex, lies and videotape. Values voters may be tempted to tune out in disgust and stay home on Election Day, but they have an obligation to weigh necessity against their wishes.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Syria, Russia the real threats to U.S.

We are not on the threshold of nuclear war with Russia because of a taped conversation Donald Trump had 11 years ago. Civilization itself is not under imminent threat because Mr. Trump pinched a beauty contestant on the behind in 1986. We face our current critical hour because a "former" Muslim named Barack Obama and a secretary of state with deep ties to the Muslim Brotherhood named Hillary Clinton orchestrated the so-called Arab Spring to overthrow the government of one Muslim nation after the other in order to create a caliphate of nations under the umbrella of the Brotherhood.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: We can’t afford another Democrat

Electing a Democrat to serve what would effectively be President Obama's third term would cause much worse things to come to pass than the funding of sanctuary cities and Planned Parenthood. And even if a Republican is elected president, a Democratic majority in the legislative branch will serve to undermine new policies.

EDITORIAL: Decision time at hand

The passionately courted undecided voter is beginning to wake up to the hard fact that soon he must make a choice. Will he stay home on election day, looking for the Prohibition or Vegetarian Party candidate, or swallow hard and choose between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Many — most, if the polls are right — will ultimately vote with far less enthusiasm than they ever expected to do. There's a widely held view among politicians that most of the citizens have a realistic view of human nature and vote "against" rather than "for," and if that's true this is the year that proves it.

EDITORIAL: The vast left-wing media consensus

The WikiLeaks disclosures, coming now on a daily basis, are such interesting reading that agents of the Clinton campaign are working overtime to divert attention from them, particularly the revelations in the emails of the campaign manager, John Podesta. Hillary insists that the hacking of his email account was sponsored, directed or financed by Vladimir Putin, who in this telling even rewrote them to reflect badly on both Mr. Podesta and Hillary. There's no evidence of Russian connivance, just speculation.

More ‘comprehensive reform’ for veterans

When he ran for president the first time, in 2008, Barack Obama appeared before the Veterans of Foreign Wars to assure them that he felt their pain (though probably not in the same places).

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: HSBC market prediction self-serving

I read that HSBC is predicting a major stock market calamity similar to the 1987 crash. Of course, a stock market crash would severely damage hundreds of millions of middle-class workers' retirement portfolios. If it were any other bank except the global criminal enterprise HSBC has become, I'm not sure whether I'd be fearful or dismissive of this analysis.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Hillary Clinton a career criminal

Recently released emails show that the Justice Department was in contact with the Hillary Clinton campaign, warning it about various aspects of the criminal investigation into Clinton. This means that the fix (as anyone whose been paying attention already knows) was in. The Democratic nominee for president is a criminal who is not in prison because Obama's Justice Department is totally corrupt.

Republican elites panic at Donald Trump shortcomings

There's nothing quite as sad as watching grown men racing for the tall grass in the face of difficulty and danger. The Republican elites panicked by the disclosure that Donald Trump said something gross -- even if not necessarily as gross as some of the things attributed to JFK and LBJ and Bill Clinton -- should remember what Donald Rumsfeld, who was then the secretary of Defense, said during the first Gulf War.

Hypocrisy and Hillary Clinton

If Hillary Clinton and hypocrisy are not exactly synonymous, they share the same web address. The WikiLeaks cache of emails containing excerpts of her paid speeches to private donors and organizations demonstrate that every time she opens her mouth, out comes cant.

Obama, Hillary Clinton’s sexy WikiLeak secrets

Hacking files of other people is not nice, and if the FBI finds out who's doing it the perps should be punished, even if they're Russians, and severely. But we're nevertheless learning some interesting things in the WikiLeaks disclosures. This sudden mania for disclosure of bad language and naughty behavior encourages others to contribute entertaining and embarrassing videos.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Different party, same outcome

I've decided not to vote for any incumbent Republican in the U.S. House or Senate. I urge other voters to do the same.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Donald Trump bets on Russian vote

Donald Trump's pro-Putin perspective on Syria puts him at odds with his own running mate and most every other politician observing Russian tactics ("After testy VP debate, Trump rebuffs claim he 'loves' Putin," Web, Oct. 5). Does the Donald know something the rest of the Western world doesn't?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Donald Trump still better than Hillary Clinton

Donald Trump is the one to vote for. Let him cast the first stone who have never had an inappropriate thought or made a lewd comment.

Yahoo cybersecurity snafu

Freedom, among other good things, is the right to be left in peace. But with privacy under assault, it's a right frequently and eagerly trampled. With many of their personal transactions conducted online, Americans are learning that their private business is being vacuumed up without their knowledge.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton both have truth aversion

We know that many politicians make promises they cannot keep and they typically use manipulative and ambiguous language to hide their true ideas and feelings. They hope the public will forget their false statements.
