LETTER: Biden elevates symbolism above real problems

It was almost comical watching as Joe Biden held a signing ceremony for passage of his anti-lynching legislation. I wonder if he actually believes a law criminalizing something that is already illegal is worth celebrating. With all the self-inflicted disasters he faces, his efforts would be better spent elsewhere.

There are still hundreds of Americans abandoned in Afghanistan. Lax border policies have weakened our security. Mr. Biden’s determination to “end fossil fuels” has restricted domestic oil production, reducing energy independence while causing energy prices to skyrocket. Reckless spending has caused out-of-control inflation. His authoritarian COVID restrictions worsened supply chain problems and damaged the education of a generation of children.

Yet Mr. Biden wastes his time on meaningless legislation. I can’t wait for the law making it illegal to burn witches at the stake. Of course, given the left’s inability to discern what a woman is, designing this law might be a task too daunting.

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.

LETTER: No need for an SOS on Social Security

The functional reality is that members of Congress need to keep Social Security alive or they will be voted out of office.
