What a riveting picture on the front page of Wednesday’s Review-Journal. Kudos to photographer Bizu Tesfaye, who captured an absolutely incredible moment. You can see and viscerally feel the emotion of the people personally affected by a horrendous stabbing incident on the Strip. You can experience their pain. The miracle here is that these stricken souls are not seeking revenge but offering forgiveness. God bless them all. This photo deserves a Pulitzer.

Edward Vodek may think it is a good idea to turn the Eastside Cannery into some sort of shelter (Oct. 31 letter), but he probably doesn’t live close by.

As usual, Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford is jumping on the bandwagon with other democratic AGs, this time suing Donald Trump and the federal government over SNAP benefit payouts.

Donald Trump and Chuck Schumer, please open up our government. It’s no longer a matter of who is going to win. It’s a matter of the people and country losing.

In her Oct. 26 op-ed, Sen. Jacky Rosen claims to be fighting for everyday Americans, but she doesn’t address the root causes of why the Democrats refuse to vote to reopen the government.
