LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: End of the Kennedy era

The loss by Joe Kennedy III in the Democratic senatorial primary marks the end of the Kennedy dynasty in the Bay State ("Ed Markey fends off challenger Joe Kennedy in Massachusetts Senate primary," Web, Sept. 1). It is for the best.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Air conventions in full

The TV stations and cable networks should commit to carrying the primetime portions of both the Republican and Democratic national conventions without interruptions or commentary. The convention is the one opportunity, every four years, for each party to explain its positions, goals and views to the American people. The parties choose their speakers and videos carefully to get their messages across. When networks choose to air some portions of a convention but not others, they are in essence injecting their own views of what they think is important and what Americans should see.

EDITORIAL: Race-baiters are reframing American history with falsehood

Above the din of protests surging across 2020 America echoes the conviction that systemic racism is everywhere, and peace won't prevail until it is finally expunged. The notion that racism is ingrained in our culture has become the dogma of this era, not only among angry Blacks, but also young Whites attempting to authenticate their "wokeness" by joining them in the streets. It is a myth, though, untethered from fact.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Invoke Insurrection Act now

The insurrection now going on in America should prompt the president to invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy it in cities where Black Lives Matter, antifa and other similarly aligned organizations are embarking on a violent campaign to destroy infrastructure, private property and free speech.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: ‘Unsafe’? More like unprofitable

What has been amply demonstrated by the past six months of reactions to hydroxychloroquine from the research community, the medical profession, and Anthony Fauci? That you cannot trust a word out of any of these people's mouths ("Hydroxychloroquine 'very safe,' says Dr. Scott Atlas; blasts 'garbage' medical studies," Web, Aug. 29).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Defunding, looting keep poor down

Is it reasonable to believe that one may break the law, then verbally and physically abuse the person attempting their arrest -- and yet be totally innocent of resulting outcomes? Is it reasonable to believe the person involved in criminal behavior has no responsibility to peacefully submit to authority? Certainly not. This foolish attitude has gained considerable currency in our society, but such "thinking" urges the poor and ill-informed to follow a downward path — a path of self-destructive, criminal behavior.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Absentee voting not the problem

In his op-ed, "'Sell the Postal Service!'" (Web, Aug. 26) Andrew Napolitano writes, "President Trump — who has voted by mail since changing his lawful residence from New York City to Palm Beach, Florida, last year — has been arguing persistently that voting by mail is inherently corrupt and untrustworthy." This sentence is disingenuous since, if Mr. Napolitano knows what President Trump is arguing regarding mail-in votes, he also also knows that Mr. Trump's absentee voting, which the president supports for all voters, is not the problematic issue.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Democrats, not Trump, polarizing

I am done with hearing political pundits reflexively characterizing the Trump presidency as "polarizing," oblivious of the far greater destructive polarization of identity politics — a political strategy the president instinctively rejects but which liberal Democrats, including Barack Obama and Joe Biden, fully embrace.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Mountain out of a molehill?

It is tempting to call out Illinois politician Jeanne Ives' remarks regarding Rep. Sean Casten's joking comment about "fragile masculinity" as a case of the pot calling the kettle black ("Rep. Sean Casten: 'Small genitals' not 'sufficient reason to own a gun,'" Web, Aug. 28). Ms. Ives' tirade suggested that Mr. Casten's joke reflected on his character and ability to represent voters. But during her losing primary race for governor, Ms. Ives referred to same-sex marriage as a "completely disordered relationship" and said the LGBTQ community was trying to "weasel their way into acceptability." During the same race she ran a bigoted and offensive TV attack ad that featured actors portraying stereotypes of a transgendered woman, an anti-facist protester, a member of the Chicago Teachers Union and a Women's March activist.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: RNC a show of triumph

The 2020 Republican National Convention was a stunning and flawless production unmatched in history. It was a paean of unprecedented achievement by President Trump, evidenced by an endless parade of impassioned and grateful patriots from every aspect of American life, each presenting their unique perspective. The grand finale of ingenious fireworks and the Italian baritone on the balcony were the icing on the cake.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Despite rough seas, U.S. still great

Americans are living through some true trials and tribulations, but the bottom line is this: When you cut through all the incredible ups and downs of this historical year — the novel coronavirus, the shutdowns, the protests, the looting and all the current national division — there is still no better place in the world to live than the United States of America.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Borders matter — sometimes

Antifa rioters and looters destroying the cities of Portland, Oregon, and Kenosha, Wisconsin, have claimed that the recent shootings there are being stirred up by 'out-of-state actors,' and they are trying to get the courts to charge counter-protesters with cross-state crimes.

EDITORIAL: Voters may be facing a point of no return

As the 2020 presidential campaign between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden gets underway in earnest, Americans have an opportunity to step up and decide for themselves what really matters.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: What science?

On Jan. 24 of this year, infectious-disease expert Anthony Fauci said that banning travelers from China was "not a good idea at this time." On Feb. 19 he said, "Now, in the United States, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to wear a mask." On March 9 he said, "If you are a healthy young person, there is no reason" not to go on a cruise ship.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Black votes matter to left

Cheryl K. Chumley's "Democrats should free Blacks from the chains of "Uncle Tom" (Web, Aug. 27) is right on target. Black lives matter to Democrats because Democrats want Black people's votes. Democrats also need Black people to support the abortion business. Why? Abortions performed on Black women account for one-third of total abortions. Without that third, the business would collapse and the Democrats would lose a pillar of their party.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Buying votes the left’s way

Thank you for Stephen Dinan's article on the illegal-immigrant mother whom the Democrats claimed President Trump has abused with cruelty through his deportation policies ("Illegal immigrant highlighted at DNC deported by Clinton, flagged by Obama administration," Web, Aug. 19). The truth is that this woman was deported several times — during the Clinton and Obama administrations.
