Trump administration’s tough talk at the U.N. is long overdue

President Donald Trump has told the members of the United Nations exactly what right-thinking Americans have been advocating for more than 50 years.

The United States has sent more than $2 trillion to foreign countries since the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe after the end of World War II. But America’s generosity, eagerly received by many foreign governments, has been squandered in large measure. Many undeserving nations openly criticize our country and oppose our efforts to promote peace throughout the world. It is time for us to end being the major financial supporter of the United Nations and being disrespected by the member countries that do not deserve our hardworking taxpayers’ money.

President Trump realizes that our country is being played the fool all over the world. He may finally be the man who gets America out of the United Nations and gets the United Nations out of America.

LETTER: The carbon-spewing Biden family

Climate change is an existential threat to mankind, animals and plants. Why doesn’t the Biden family lead the way?

LETTER: The Trump show trial

Remember, Martin Luther King, Mahatma Ghandi and Sir Thomas More — all innocent men — were also declared to be guilty.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.
