LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Hold cheaters accountable

I really hope that every member of Congress and all the state legislatures realize just how important the 2020 presidential election was and continues to be. The level of voter fraud in this election cannot be ignored, and only Congress and the state legislatures can fix the cheating and bring us back from the brink of civil war. As things look right now, these corrupt politicians are going to try to bury the evidence — or just ignore it and hope there will be no consequences.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Iran’s sanction-free path forward

It is now obvious that Iran has decided to go ahead with its enriched-uranium program, a critical step in its nuclear-bomb program ("Iran says it begins 20% uranium enrichment amid U.S. tensions," Web, Jan. 4). This decision was probably taken to force a concession from the incoming Biden administration for a renewal of the flawed nuclear agreement that gave Iran a lifting of sanctions and a path to the nuclear bomb, coupled with a continuation of its long-range-missile technology. With this tactic, Iran will have the best of all worlds, as sanctions against it are lifted and its current military programs can continue.

EDITORIAL: Blue Dog Democrats are confused, scared and all but neutered

There are not many Blue Dog Democrats, that old redoubt of moderate liberals, left these days. As our colleague David Sherfinski reported last week, this once influential voting bloc has been diminished to about two dozen members. Like strangers in a foreign land, these days they appear out of step with party aims, and relegate their "serious" actions to letter writing and, we imagine, various forms of hand wringing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Courts should have heard fraud cases

Justice has long been said to be blind. After the bogus 2020 presidential election the saying should be changed to "Justice is deaf, dumb, blind and dead." To put it into perspective, the vast majority of TV news outlets and newspapers have been saying there is no evidence of fraud in the election.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Candace Owens for governor

The last time a Republican won a gubernatorial race in Connecticut was 2002. The winner was a woman named Jodi Rell, and she was the first female governor from the Republican Party to win that state, as well as the second female governor in Connecticut's history.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Thank you, Bill Gertz

On Monday, The Washington Times carried a short article by Dave Boyer reporting that President Trump awarded Republican Rep. Devin Nunes the Medal of Freedom ("Medal of Freedom goes to Rep. Nunes for 'courageous' efforts to stop 'plot' against Trump," Web, Jan. 4). The medal is well-deserved.

EDITORIAL: Challenging the electoral count is only the beginning

Energy seeks an outlet, and political energy is no different. Throngs of thousands rallied on tarmacs across the nation -- sometimes steamy, other times frigid.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Biden presidency would be senile disaster

On Dec. 31, Fox News' Lou Dobbs had senile Joe Biden referring to his vice presidential pick as President-elect Kamala. Ms. Harris herself refers to her own presidency. Is this a Freudian slip or just evidence of Sleepy Joe's confusion?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Americans must take back freedom

Life will never get back to normal unless the people make it happen. This disgusting slogan, "It's for your safety," is the very term our fascist governors, other corrupt politicians and lying doctors use day in and out. Are we going to cower every time a new virus breaks out? Are you going to live in fear or freedom? Fight these people who have lost their constitutional ways; make their lives miserable as they have made yours miserable. Show up on the streets outside their homes in protest. No longer will we adhere to business restrictions in the name of a virus with a 97% recovery rate. It's way past time to reopen this nation. Only you can make it happen.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Evidence of election fraud is substantial

In the seventh paragraph of "In-betweenland: As 2020 slips away, an American snapshot" (Web, Dec. 28) Ted Anthony writes that President Trump "persists in his evidence-free insistence that he won the election." I am appalled by this Associated Press writer's irresponsible conclusion.

EDITORIAL: Josh Hawley is after big game

A lot of people are quite upset at Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley's announced decision to object during the Electoral College certification process this coming Jan. 6. It's, to be clear, a symbolic move, and will result only in two hours of debate in both chambers. At the end of the debates — the subject of which will be whether or not to count Pennsylvania's (and possibly other states') votes — Congress will still have to respect the Electoral College decision.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Why do politicians get vaccine first?

Rep. Jennifer Wexton, Virginia Democrat, tweeted last month that she received the first of two doses of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine. Oh, Congresswoman Wexton, thank you for getting it, and for encouraging us plebes to get it, too — when, as you said, it 'becomes available' to us. Obviously, you made sure it was available to you first.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Fraudulence in politics is out in open

Don't count on a $2,000 stimulus check in the mail. The leadership on both sides of the political aisle have placed anti-partisan obsession before the American people.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: ‘Rights’ are to own body, not baby’s

On. Dec. 29 Massachusetts state Sen. Harriette Chandler said, "Beginning today, pregnant people who once faced near-insurmountable barriers accessing abortion care can now seize the right to control their own bodies" ("Mass. Legislature overrides veto, expands access to abortion," Web, Dec. 29). Ms. Chandler is a sponsor of the ROE Act, a bill that legalized abortion through all nine months of pregnancy and passed over the governor's veto.

EDITORIAL: Home-grown cultural despots attempt to cancel the Western canon

As Meghan Cox Gurdon, a children's books columnist at The Wall Street Journal, recently reported, Lawrence High School, a public secondary school in Massachusetts, successfully pulled the poet Homer from the curriculum. As ninth-grade teacher Heather Levine put it, "Hahaha — very proud to say we got the Odyssey removed from the curriculum this year."

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Too early for optimism on China

"2020 has been a horrible year, but America did not fall apart" (Web, Dec. 30) was a masterful indication of an experienced historian condensing recent events into an essay that future historians will be able to draw upon when reviewing the year 2020.

December 31, 2020

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: New abortion law abhorrent

Massachusetts law now enshrines a right to abortion and lowers from 18 to 16 the age at which patients may undergo abortions without parental consent ("Massachusetts expands late-term abortion access with override of Charlie Baker's veto," Web, Dec. 29). The law now allows abortions after 24 weeks gestation in cases of fatal fetal abnormalities, and to "preserve the patient's physical or mental health."

EDITORIAL: Eric Swalwell’s relationship with a spy can’t be ignored

Earlier this month, before Congress went on Christmas break, the capital was abuzz about California Rep. Eric Swalwell's relationship with a representative of a foreign power whose interests don't exactly coincide these days with the United States.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Elderly, care staff need vaccine

From the earliest days of planning for the development of a COVID-19 vaccination, those working in our nation's congregate-care settings for seniors — including assisted-living communities — were prioritized to receive it. Rightfully so; the population these workers serve has been universally identified as being among the most vulnerable to the virus.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Celebrities should help unemployed

The more that charities continue to reach out to us from our own TV screens, the more I wonder why those celebrities begging Americans for money don't just pull their own cash to help the many unemployed. Then the unemployed could pay it forward and give aid to the charities. And both the celebrities and the unemployed could get a tax break.
