LETTER: Here’s something to consider when you vote for president this year

I read Jack Wright’s Thursday letter to the editor regarding the many open executive and diplomatic positions in the Trump administration. I truly applaud his subject matter.

While Mr. Wright poses completely legitimate questions regarding budget savings that do need to be answered, he has missed the one big question that really needs not only answering but investigating. What is taking so long for Washington to confirm all the nominees for those empty positions? Are the powers that be in Washington simply incompetent at their jobs? Or is there another more nefarious reason for such a delay?

I don’t believe there has ever been an administration so handcuffed by the failure of Congress to fill much-needed positions.

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.

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.

The American people need to recognize that the November election could be to determine which vice presidential candidate may shortly become president.
