LETTER: Celebrating Old Glory

I would like to thank the Review-Journal for publishing the commentary “A symbol of ideas, opportunities for the world” in honor of Flag Day. The day it was printed, I commented to a customer at the grocery store that I admired the American flag shirt he was wearing. He told me to look up the article, and I said I had already read it and was so moved by it that I was going to clip it and save it. He told me the author, R.J. Champion, was a friend of his.

Imagine my surprise when I received a call a few moments later from Mr. Champion thanking me for appreciating his article. What a serendipitous way to celebrate our flag and connect with a member of the Las Vegas community over our shared love of Old Glory.

I plan to use the article as a teaching reference every year for my daughter. Bravo to the Review-Journal for publishing Mr. Champion and to the author for writing such a poignant account of the beauty and truth about the American flag.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

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.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

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.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

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

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
