LETTER: President Joe Biden speaks with refreshing candor on Putin

I listened to the annual hour-long talks of President Harry Truman. As expected of a “buck stops here” president, not once did he apologize for approving the use of atomic bombs, his handling of the 1946 railroad strike, his attempted takeover of steel mills in 1952 or firing Gen. Douglas MacArthur during the Korean War.

Some are upset that President Joe Biden openly voiced his opinion about Vladimir Putin. However, as with President Truman, I found President Biden’s comments about Putin more refreshing and honest than our prior president, who stated that Putin should be trusted more than U.S. intelligence, called Putin a genius and was envious of the authoritarian powers Putin has in Russia.

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.
