Did Putin anticipate coverage decline?

One of the things that has worried me in the past few months is the reduced coverage the news media have been giving to the war in Ukraine. These days, even when there is coverage, it seems to take a backseat to other stories, such as inflation, the Jan. 6 committee, increasing gun violence, growing divisions within the Democratic and Republican parties, and speculation about the outcome of the 2022 elections.

De-radicalize state universities

It's time to take control of our public universities back from the leftists. This will first be possible with the public universities in conservative states. Even there, 'lefties' dominate -- but this can be changed.

New low bar for Medal of Freedom

In 1963 then-President John F. Kennedy established the Presidential Medal of Freedom to recognize individuals who had made "an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors" ("Biden to award gun control activist Gabby Giffords, Trump critic Khizr Khan with Medal of Freedom," Web, July 1).

Jan. 6 committee a Soviet-style sham

I am an outspoken supporter of Jan. 6, 2021. I was not a supporter at the time of the events (although I will say I enjoyed seeing a bit of open rebellion against the corrupt elitists who think they hold power over this nation's people). What changed my mind was the cold-blooded murder of the unarmed veteran Ashli Babbitt by Capitol police and the treatment of those who became political prisoners afterward. Those individuals still languish in prison for doing nothing more than walking through the nation's Capitol building.

Family, upbringing key in violent behavior

Most children, raised in loving, nurturing environments in which they are valued grow up to become well-adjusted, productive adults. They contribute to the general health and welfare of the family, neighborhood and community. Some rise to national and even international prominence for invention, critical thinking, character and courage.

Sexuality’s not a choice — but life is?

Since 1973 the physical union of a male and female that begins the existence of a growing life is viewed not among the honored wonders of nature but as a choice. Meanwhile, the physical union of two males or two females -- neither of which that can produce life -- is to be viewed not as a choice but as an honored wonder of nature.

Path forward for Trump, GOP

I hope the Democrats' latest unethical political farce (the Jan. 6 sitcom) to discredit Donald Trump succeeds in keeping the former president from running again ("Lenin's show trials and the Jan. 6 committee," Web, July 6). The president who fought like a wolverine for flyover America is polarizing. He can't overcome the radical left's stacked deck of seditious media bias (the suppression of Biden family corruption), physical election fraud (ballot harvesting and votes cast without ID) and a weaponized Department of Justice.

Griner may now regret kneeling

I don't feel one bit sorry for WNBA star Brittney Griner ("Biden tells Griner's wife he's working to get her home," Web, July 6). After kneeling and protesting the national anthem, Ms. Griner suddenly has a newfound love for her country and would like President Biden to help her to return to the United States. Poor baby.

Fire lawless prosecutors now

After reading "Democratic AGs, Soros-backed prosecutors vow to defy abortion laws," I'm embarrassed to think that while other countries admire our legal system, our own law-enforcement officers are busy undermining it.

Biden sends oil to China

In the late 1970s, as an employee of Parsons Corporation, I was responsible for playing a role in the management of the construction of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in Texas and Louisiana ("Biden sends 5 million barrels of U.S. oil to Europe, Asia despite soaring gas prices," Web, July 6). The Energy Department policy regarding the SPR was that it was there for national security crises, not for regular withdrawal and usage.

‘Abortion pill’ could be deadly

"Doctors fight Biden's abortion pill push" (Page 1, July 7) delineates a frightening argument by the Biden administration, which wishes to make a "chemical abortion medication" available to pregnant women by mail "without an in-person clinic visit."

Biden-made misery

Some people thrive on misery and pain and want everyone else to be like them. They intimidate, manipulate and lie to destroy normalcy, trying to convince us that this is how life should be. As an independent voter, I have watched the outspoken Democrats try every trick in the book to convince us that chaos and suffering are normal.

Return current supply-side ‘lemon’

From outstanding world leadership to wealth and power during and after World War II, the U.S. has declined and now has levels of unprecedented debt. Current inequity and polarized division are reminiscent of our Civil War era.

Better screening, less divisiveness

There was a tragic mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois -- and the immediate reaction from many legislators was to blame gun manufacturers and demand stricter gun laws. Well, the latter does not work, as proven by the high murder rates in cities with strict gun laws. There are two issues that need to be addressed, investigated and improved upon if a solution to these shootings is to be achieved.

Pass USICA, COMPETES now

The Biden administration and Congress seem to be overlooking a crucial fact: 50% of global semiconductor chips are made in Taiwan. The largest, most technically advanced and innovative chip manufacturer in the world is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Limited. Taiwan is not part of China and never has been. If China captures the island, the U.S. economy will be under major threat due to semiconductor shortages.

Illegality by law enforcement ruins us

I read with great alarm "90 U.S. prosecutors vow to ignore abortion laws" (Page 1, July 5). Sanctioned resistance to the rule of law by officials whose duty it is to uphold that law began when local law enforcement refused to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, resulting in sanctuary cities. This scofflaw behavior led to lawlessness on our southern border and eventually to refusals to prosecute many general crimes across the country, notably in large cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago.

Lawfully armed citizens stop shooters

The latest mass shooting shows the insanity of far-left Democratic policies that disarm peaceful people while emboldening the crazies and criminal lawlessness in our country ("Highland Park mayor says the U.S. should reexamine its gun laws, values," Web, July 5).

July 5, 2022

Democratic ‘leadership’ laughable

The globalists have declared that gas and all other pricing in the U.S. will continue to rise daily as long as Russians fight in Ukraine or the economy totally tanks, whichever comes first.

Conservatives’ slanderers go unpunished

From what I am reading, it seems no one in former President Trump's Secret Service detail agrees with former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson's recent hearsay testimony ("Megyn Kelly: 'First-year law student' could discredit Cassidy Hutchinson testimony," Web, June 30). For the life of me I cannot figure out why the Jan. 6 committee even called her as a witness. If Congress wanted anybody to testify, it should have been the Secret Service agents Ms. Hutchinson was supposedly quoting. The only logical reason to have called her would have been to try to prove the agents were lying -- after they had testified.

Zelenko saved thousands

The legacy of New York physician Vladimir Zelenko, who passed away last week at the age of 49, will be that he saved the lives of more than 7,000 COVID-19 patients with his hydroxychloroquine protocol. Of this number, only three died.
