EDITORIAL: Democrats strain to harden the U.S. Capitol

Fear is the bitter fruit of the 2020 presidential election. It drove Donald Trump's supporters, afraid of losing their country, to march on the U.S. Capitol "peacefully and patriotically," until rioters hijacked their gathering. Just as the Jan. 6 violence was un-American, so is the ongoing attempt by disturbed Democrats to harden "the people's house."

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: A year on, violence continues

As George Floyd's family visited the White House this week, at the same moment in Minneapolis -- and at the exact location of Floyd's tragic death -- there was a brazen gun shootout. The irony is that Floyd's death was supposed to have stopped the violence. Yet it instead let to demands for defunding the police, which have resulted in this current surge in violence.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: ‘Natural’ origin the conspiracy

The COVID-19 lab-origin hypothesis has been discussed by molecular biologists and other scientists for more than a year ("COVID-19 origin dissent 'suppressed' by intelligence community, House GOP report finds," Web, May 24). The binding properties and structure of the spike protein has been regarded as unlikely to have come from natural evolution. It has a strategically placed cleavage cite which enhances its infectivity. In fact, the the conspiracy theory has always been the natural-evolution ploy, not the lab-synthesis theory. To date no original virus host or intermediate host has been found to support natural evolution.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Patriots will prevail

This year, like a perfect storm, all of the factors for voter fraud were brought together to elect a senile old man to the presidency and an outright communist to the vice presidency.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Chamber a champion of free enterprise

The Times' editorial "Appeasing the crocodiles: The Chamber of Commerce learns a costly lesson" (Web, May 23) seems grounded in the mistaken notion that the U.S. Chamber is a partisan political organization. Our mission is to make our country the best place for business owners to create jobs, grow the economy and improve Americans' lives. Period.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Biden stabs Israel in the back

Israel is one of the United States' best allies. Yet the Obama and now Biden administrations (and John Kerry) have attempted to stab them in the back in the United Nations. They interfere with their election and side with terrorist organizations against them.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: True moderates needed

Our country needs to have more political moderates and centrists than we do now. I think we were better off in the 1960s, when about 20%-30% of us considered ourselves to be "in the middle of the road." Today this figure has gone down to about 10%-15%.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Left’s ‘truths’ incompatible with facts

As the Biden administration plots to propagandize our children, a la "1984" and the Ministry of Truth ("Mayorkas targets kids in bid to tackle dangerous 'disinformation,'" Web, May 23), parents can only wonder what today's truth might be versus yesterday's, as seen through the administration's prism.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Don’t penalize chaplain

In an era where moral absolutes are deemed a vintage of a bygone era, no one seems to know the difference between right and wrong. What America's military chaplains embraced for generations — the Judeo-Christian ethic — is now verboten ("Army chaplain appeals 'career-ending' reprimand over transgender troop rules," Web, May 17).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Israel is defending itself

Hamas is a terrorist organization whose avowed goal is to give the Holocaust a sequel by annihilating the Jewish state. It is firing thousands of rockets at Israeli cities, forcing three-quarters of Israel's population to flee several times daily into bomb shelters with only seconds' warning. These attacks have killed a dozen Israeli civilians, including a 5-year-old Jewish Israeli boy, Ido Avigal, and a 16-year-old Arab-Israeli girl, Nadine Awad. No country could tolerate this. And yet, the world overwhelmingly supports Hamas. How is this possible?

EDITORIAL: The Chamber of Commerce learns a costly lesson

In a January 1940 address broadcast by the BBC, British Prime Minister-to-be Winston Churchill said of countries that were remaining neutral nearly five months after Germany invaded Poland, setting off World War II: "Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last."

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Fix Guantanamo problem

The U.S. has long held a wolf by the ears at Gitmo. We can't keep the prisoners there indefinitely without trial, and yet we can't let them go. We fear that they will seek revenge upon release or else be used for propaganda purposes by the enemy. No one wants to be the president who releases the guy who reemerges later as a threat.
