Ivanka Trump for president?

The Tuesday letter “Ivanka in 2024!” claims that one of President Donald Trump’s children should run for the Oval Office in 2024. In the past 30 years of this great republic, we’ve had two dynasties in the office of the presidency for 20 of those years. In the 2016 elections, one from each (Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton) ran. The GOP squashed one. But the other became the party’s nominee. She lost to a political novice despite being touted as the most qualified candidate ever to run.

Perhaps the Founding Fathers were right when they broke the chains of monarchal rule 243 years ago for reasons that we now understand.

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.
