LETTER: Putin and peace

I want to thank the 30-plus members of the Democrat Party boycotting Donald Trump’s inauguration.

First and foremost, you are freeing up seats that can be used by our disabled veterans who fought for your right to boycott.

These veterans deserve those seats; you poster children for term limits do not.

In addition, no one is going to miss you. You have proven your irrelevancy to your constituents and our country, and the inauguration will proceed without you. Americans have long memories and attitudes such as yours are going to matter in the midterms, to your party’s detriment.

You are the reason the Democrat Party is imploding like a nuclear reactor. All you people are doing is providing the fuel.

Frankly I’m looking forward to the wiener roast we can have afterwards. The best part? You Democrats have even provided the marshmallows.

Trump just freed one of the world’s biggest, convicted narco-terrorists. How utterly shameful.

The United States should go to the top of the hill and ask Russia to pull out its troops, return all land (plus Crimea) it invaded while killing innocent people and make reparations for the destruction it brought to Ukraine.

LETTER: The loss of the penny

I suggest that the change from every sales tax transaction ending with one, two, three or four cents — those pennies that we will not see — be delegated to go toward our national debt.
