Dean Heller steps up to the plate on health care

As a lifelong Democrat who is very anti-Trump, I have to pay a compliment to Sen. Dean Heller. He seems to have finally drawn a line in the sand when it comes to health care and Yucca Mountain. Please stick to your guns, senator, and do not let Mitch McConnell and his band of ultra-right Teapublicans run roughshod over the best interests of the American people.

Trumpcare would take away health care for more than 23 million people. I don’t know if Sen. Heller has daughters, but I have three of them. The loss of Planned Parenthood funding would be a major blow to women all over this country. Do these largely white men in the House and Senate recall when back alley abortions were the status quo?

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

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