LETTER: Cartoonist wants it both ways on Afghanistan

Although I admire the drawing ability of Michael Ramirez, I seldom agree with the content of his editorial cartoons. I particularly disagree with his Tuesday cartoon depicting President Joe Biden and a Taliban, with the quote, “Withdrawing U.S. troops based on an arbitrary deadline will strengthen the Taliban, embolden terrorists and undermine the elected government of Afghanistan.”

Mr. Ramirez must have forgotten that, before leaving office, Donald Trump set May 1 as an arbitrary deadline for removing troops from Afghanistan. It leaves me to ask, what deadline would Mr. Ramirez like to see set for removing the troops? And does he have a cartoon ready for it?

LETTER: Big government is a necessity

Don’t let the big corporations tell you your life would be better without big government regulation or laws. I have been there and done that.

LETTER: A legend passes

It’s with a very heavy heart that I received news that the greatest ball player of all time and an ambassador of the game has been brought up to the major leagues at the age of 93.

LETTER: The truth about McDonald’s and prices

Any hikes are closely connected to the increase of costs to run restaurants.
