LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Anwar Sadat real hero of March 26

We recognize March 26 as the anniversary of peace between Egypt and Israel, and concurrently applaud former President Jimmy Carter's 2002 Nobel Peace Prize. Nevertheless, we should remember the truly worthy recipient was Egyptian President Anwar Sadat.

EDITORIAL: Justice Department wants to punish lawbreakers by ability to pay

The rule of law is meant to guide the administration of justice. But in an administration obsessed with race, not necessarily. The Obama Justice Department has instructed judges across the nation to lighten up on the poor, and especially poor minorities, or else. The lady with the blindfold and sword has tossed her blindfold aside and put the weight of her sword on the scale to favor those with the right connections.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Collectivism or individualism?

The "establishment hierarchies" of the Republican and Democratic parties are not the adversaries these parties would like us to believe. They are partners in a symbiotic, oligarchic relationship based on the egalitarian ideology of "social justice," redistribution of wealth and a world where the equality of outcomes supersedes equality of opportunity.

EDITORIAL: The testing of James Comey

A reputation for doing the right thing under pressure is hard to make and easy to break. James Comey, the director of the FBI, made his reputation as a man of unimpeachable integrity when he stood up to the administration that appointed him second in command to the attorney general, John Ashcroft, in the administration of George W. Bush.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Executive fashion missing in D.C.

I was honored to serve as President Ronald Reagan's suit-maker for many years. The position enabled me to get to know the wonderful First Lady Nancy Reagan. Mrs. Reagan brought high fashion to Washington and kept it here right up through the last minute of the Reagan administration.

EDITORIAL: Climate change facts vs. fantasy

It's not necessary to consult a compass to see that the sun is rising in the east, but other phenomena of the natural world don't fit as easily into the realm of "settled science." That includes the nature of the earth's changing climate, despite President Obama's insistence that is does.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Donald Trump, Ted Cruz should quit

The calls for Gov. John Kasich to leave the Republican presidential race are ridiculous ("John Kasich faces GOP calls to exit '16 race," Web, March, 23). The most recent polls indicate that while Donald Trump is blown out of the water by Hillary Clinton by more than 11 points and Sen. Ted Cruz loses by two points, Mr. Kasich actually beats Mrs. Clinton by more than six points. So Mr. Kasich is running 18 points stronger than Mr. Trump.

EDITORIAL: More radical Islamic outrage

Baseball requires brains as well as brawn, and the tango is erotic without vulgarity. The president of the United States, whoever he is, is entitled to indulge both. Only a churl would begrudge Democrat or Republican enjoying a season behind the third base line or a season on the dance floor with a beautiful woman in his arms. But everything has its rightful season.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Cruz knows how to combat terror

Sen. Ted Cruz's statement immediately after the Islamic State attacks in Brussels this week met the standard for mission guidance a U.S. president might give to the National Security Council. While Republican challenger Donald Trump fell back on old campaign rhetoric about waterboarding suspected terrorists, Mr. Cruz defined a clear vision for a long-overdue national security mission with his statement that "we need to kill terrorists and execute a coherent campaign to utterly destroy ISIS."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Terror attack in U.S. likely

Much of America lives in a bubble filled with self-denial and ignorance. Many believe there is no such thing as a terrorist threat; others are simply ignorant of the jihadi mindset. The media gets in a huff when a terrorist attack occurs but other than that, they don't say much about terrorism. Politicians are reticent about the subject nowadays. Yet the FBI investigates terrorist-related organizations and activities in all 50 states.

EDITORIAL: Julie Stewart deserves honors for her work

Nonprofit advocacy organizations spring up in Washington like mushrooms after a hard rain in early spring. Most of them profess to be working to build a better world, and some are. But few of them do very much of anything. They issue studies and statements that nobody reads, hold press conferences that few attend and raise money, sometimes a lot of money, to pay for studies, press conferences and the expense of raising more money. Many of the non-profits are staffed by men and women who are well motivated and well-meaning. Others are run by those who come to Washington to do good, and stay to do well.

EDITORIAL: Islamic State must be destroyed

Everyone but the president of the United States seems to understand that the civilized world is in an all-out struggle with the pure evil of radical Islam. The Islamic State, or ISIS or ISIL, is gaining ground and by consolidating the several radical Islamic terrorist groups around the world it has become a formidable foe.

Straightaway in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Apple debate: Freedom or safety?

There is a legal debate raging between Apple and the government. But there is also a moral debate that could be considered even more important, perhaps more long-lasting and more defining than the legal one: Is security more important than privacy and liberty?

EDITORIAL: Redeeming the American Dream

Everybody keeps up with the money in his pocket. Interest in economics, the dismal science of what keeps money in the nation's pocket, not so much. Trying to manage money while navigating an increasingly unstable economic landscape is challenging, so it's useful to remember the reason for having a little concentrated concern in the family. As family goes, so goes fortune.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Dangerous anti-Trump trend

There is a troublesome new trend going on in the anti-Donald-Trump protest community. Not only is MoveOn.org, which is backed by George Soros and led by Bill Ayres, participating in these rallies, but so are Black Lives Matter and activist Hispanic groups.

EDITORIAL: Donald Trump moves closer to GOP nomination

The strategy of the Republican elites, to resist Donald Trump for as long as they can and put off thinking about how to retreat gracefully for as long as they can, is still intact. But only barely. The strategists may be drawing their last healthy breaths. Donald won Arizona by 23 points this week, and all its delegates, raising his number of delegates won to 739. Ted Cruz has 465 and John Kasich, 143.

EDITORIAL: Robots displacing Americans from jobs

Job displacement is a nagging threat to the American worker as companies flee to locations overseas to save on labor, taxes and other costs. But more fearsome still is a competitor that rolls off another assembly line: the smart robot and its sidekick, the artificially intelligent computer.
