LETTER: Looking back at 2020

In response to Dave Barry’s year in review on Sunday (“Nonstop awfulness”): I think the pictures should have been of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer with Donald Trump off to the side, Bible in one hand and his Maga hat in the other.

Alternative universe: Donald Trump is president. The Democratic leadership decides to work with the president to make America great. With the two sides working together, America and the world have a fantastic economy. Then the unthinkable happens: China is struck by a pandemic. The Chinese immediately close down all travel in and out of country. This stops the spread, saving the world’s economy.The United States and all nations work to save the Chinese from this terrible disease. Within months the Chinese are saved and the world is is at peace. President Trump’s dream of making America great is accomplished, so he decides not to run for a second term and go back to running his family businesses. The next election Vice President Mike Pence becomes the next president and chooses a Democrat to be vice president. They continue to work together for the good of all Americans.

Then I woke up.

THE LATEST
LETTER: Jacky Rosen, drug prices and inflation

I don’t believe she has malicious intentions, but at the very least she’s been thoughtless when considering the ramifications of how the overwhelming majority of her votes affect the very people who elected her.

LETTER: Fair share?

Politicians use “the rich” to divert attention from their reckless spending.

LETTER: Donald Trump not fit to be president

His loyalty is to himself and himself alone. He has neither the energy nor the ability to make complex decisions.

LETTER: Henderson City Council and all its pet projects

I do not question the importance of supporting the fire department. But I do question the importance and priority of projects the City Council regularly spends tax dollars on.

LETTER: Has Kamala Harris ever run a business?

Don’t just vote for someone you would invite to dinner. Vote for someone you would want to run your business.

LETTER: Nevada’s shoddy education system

Those thinking about moving here will be thinking how they are going to educate their children. Many will change their minds and look at other options.

LETTER: Does Jacky Rosen favor abortion up until birth?

Since her attack ads, which may or may not be true, on her Republican opponent, Sam Brown, are mainly about his stance on abortion, she should be able to articulate her stance.
