LETTER: Yes, Jan. 6 was not a “peaceful” protest

In response to Richard Strickland’s Tuesday letter to the editor (“Eyes shut”), yes, the events that took place in our nation’s capital on Jan. 6 were much, much more than a mostly peaceful protest marred by a few bad apples. That being said, the George Floyd riots which occurred throughout our great nation during the summer of 2020 caused much more death and destruction. Jan. 6 pales in comparison to a city — Portland — under siege for more than 90 days. Yet no condemnation or outrage from the Democratic Party or Mr. Strickland over what occurred then.

I suggest Mr. Strickland and the entire Democratic Party open their eyes up as well and deal with reality.

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.

LETTER: Up, up and away

I contend that the gas produced by the City Council is worse than anything the common folk could ever think of.

LETTER: Jurors have an easy job in Hunter Biden case

The evidence is crystal clear, compelling and truthful — and there are self-incriminating comments made by Hunter himself. It is a slam dunk.

LETTER: On the Oakland A’s

What are we wasting our money on? There are myriad and better places here to use the money we will save.

LETTER: Desalination, yes

But, the only new pipelines needed would be from the desalination plants to the reservoirs or canals.
