EDITORIAL: Democratic convention reinvention

Political party conventions, like the incoming tide, bring a surge of energy that has dissipated since the last quadrennial gathering. With crowds of loyalists, balloons, confetti and, most of all, the rock-star-like ascendance of the party's chosen champion, the confab launches the presidential campaign season designed to capture the White House. It's gone like a shattered dream, though, in the year of the coronavirus. Democrats have settled for a virtual convention, with all the sensation of a texted birthday wish.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: UAE, Israel ties a good start

While the acceptance by the United Arab Emirates of diplomatic relations with Israel is not the final deal hoped for by the U.S. and President Trump, it is a welcome beginning ("Telephone calls between UAE, Israel ring for the first time," Web, Aug. 16). Although many may believe that the driving force behind the UAE's refusal thus far to engage with Israel has been fear of an aggressive, terrorist-supporting Iran, a telling reason could be final disillusionment with the Palestinian Authority.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Use Israeli spray on ‘protesters’

The Seattle terrorists used high-intensity lasers to damage the eyesight of federal officers. In other situations, bricks, rocks and frozen water bottles have severely injured police officers. So much for peaceful protest. The old tried-and-true riot control tools of batons, tear gas and rubber bullets appear to be ineffectual against brigands hell-bent on chaos, violence and looting. The answer: Israeli skunk spray.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: To left, only some racism is wrong

Recently, one of our Democratic representatives was on TV speaking out against some racism in southern Maryland. And rightly so. My complaint with the representative is they are not also appearing on TV to make sure people know that the racism of Black Lives Matter is just as wrong ("Embers of racism, with Obama's help, turned into an inferno," Web, Juy 25).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: U.S. ‘disaster’ status overstated

"Virus surge makes U.S. weak link in global rebound" (Web, Aug. 11) conrains several "myths" regarding the U.S. response to the virus surge. The major error is in not realizing that the massive testing program in this country, combined with the contract tracing (both of which are good from a public-health standpoint) are bad from a public-relations standpoint.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: No outrage over murder of child

I was sickened by the news of the death of 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant, who was executed in cold blood with a rifle shot directly against his head by a career felon who lived next door to him in Wilson, North Carolina ("5-year-old shot to death in North Carolina; suspect sought," Web, Aug. 10). This was clearly another racist attack against a white child, unable to protect themselves. It makes the George Floyd tragedy pale by comparison. Where is the media coverage? Absent, of course, because this boy's death does not further the "narrative" that systemic racism is a one-way street. This is disgusting and there should be a national outrage. Death sentences should be applied when appropriate and carried out on the courthouse steps immediately following the trial. If that were done, crimes like this would be nonexistent.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Vote for Biden is vote for Clintons

It is now perfectly clear that Joe Biden and the Clinton-staffed Sen. Kamala Harris camp will make the perfect Democratic ticket. Together they would pardon deep-state kingpins Bill and Hillary Clinton next year, and allow the Clintons' "Foundation" to use the White House as their backroom fundraising office and self-pardoning parlor going forward.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: President Harris, anyone?

An alarming thought occurred to me when I heard that Sen. Kamala Harris was Joe Biden's pick for vice president. Various polls have shown that people don't believe Mr. Biden will make it through his first term. Perhaps this means the Democrats and Mr. Biden came up with a new game plan to get a far-left cretin like Ms. Harris to take over the presidency. If Mr. Biden suddenly resigns due to health problems, we get President Harris.

EDITORIAL: Efforts to close the wage gap are working

As the nation weathers a summer of social turmoil, a tool for erasing the economic component of racial disparity is already making a difference. The growing practice of refraining from using salary history in hiring decisions is helping to close the wage gap.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Don’t let radicals take over

I am a naturalized citizen, having come to this country in 1951. I love the United States of America and revere its national anthem and its flag. I believe that all people should be treated equally and that all lives matter. However, I cannot understand how anyone who has bothered to look up the origin and beliefs of the Black Lives Matter organization can support it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Truth can’t be torn down

Truth is not determined by a majority vote, the feelings of ignorant people, the media, angry mobs, cloistered professors, weak and corrupt politicians, the rich and powerful, or military victory. God determines -- and is -- truth. And following God, former Vice President John C. Calhoun taught that liberty is how God rewards goodness and intelligence.
