LETTER: How protesters at the women’s march in Washington, D.C. actually voted?

One of our great freedoms and one of our great responsibilities as citizens of our great nation is to vote. From what I’ve read, in November only half of those eligible bothered to exercise this unique and special opportunity.

After viewing the recent women’s march on television, I have to wonder, how many of these protesters actually voted. I would be willing to bet the ranch that many did not bother to vote.

I wonder who would be the occupant of the White House today had a larger number of people bothered to vote.

To all of those out there still moaning and groaning over the election results: If you did not bother to vote, perhaps the following will sink in. First, elections have consequences. And second, your vote does count.

Remember, Martin Luther King, Mahatma Ghandi and Sir Thomas More — all innocent men — were also declared to be guilty.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.
