LETTER: Oh to be among the hoi polloi

While the rest of us are eating beans and cornbread due to high inflation, the White House put out the menu for French president Emmanuel Macron when he arrives for a state dinner (Thursday Review-Journal). This includes Maine lobster poached in butter, beef with shallot marmalade and an American cheese trio. Dessert will be orange chiffon cake, roasted pears and creme fraiche ice cream. Everything from the menu to the entertainment to the table settings and other touches were designed by the White House and first lady Jill Biden. Isn’t that just wonderful?

While the rest of us can barely put food on the table, these people have no problem throwing lavish parties at taxpayer expense. Oh, to be one of the elites.

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.
