LETTER: Congress funds the Israeli Iron Dome system

It was heartening and uplifting to see the unity in the House of Representatives as the delegates from both sides of the aisle came together last week to support the funding for Israel’s Iron Dome.

The Iron Dome is completely defensive and is meant to help protect men, women and children from the rockets deliberately aimed at them. These rockets are fired from Hamas in the Gaza Strip and from Hezbollah in Lebanon. The lack of morality in these actions is clear. Kudos to both Democrats and Republicans who came together to repudiate these repulsive aggressions.

THE LATEST
LETTER: Sonia Sotomayor, retirement and race

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.
