LETTER: California’s raging lunancy

Again this morning I was greeted with a strong acrid smell in the house accompanied by restricted breathing and watery vision. After weeks, I was finally able to identify and label the phenomenon: It is the smell of California Democrats mixed with the odor of the colluding liberal eco-cabal and a whiff of the negligent Democrat ruling bureaucracy.

This stew of incompetence over decades has spawned these tragic, epic California infernos so large that their smoke pollution is detected across America and spanned the Atlantic to Europe. This California Democrat governmental hegemonic incompetence has produced a whole series of similarly spectacular “successes,” such as water shortages. Building reservoirs is bad? More and broader power outages are part of the Democrat vision for the middle class. A few other Democrat benefits include sky-high taxes, unaffordable housing, Big Brother regulations, high homelessness, high crime, sanctuary cities, bountiful goodies for the undocumented but none for thee, the highest debt in the nation, etc.

The ruling Democrat politicians and bureaucrats offer some “mea culpas” and expect a pay raise next year.

We in Nevada are in the first stages of a similar Democrat hegemony. Conventional wisdom says Nevada Democrats soon follow California Democrats. What could go wrong? I implore Nevada voters to think long and hard before they vote to ensconce the Democrat mindset, leadership and operatives in local, state and federal positions. I suggest we look to the West to see what following our California Democrat cousins would portend for our future.

All this mismanagement has resulted in the national debt rising at a very alarming rate.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
