LETTER: Don’t go soft by abolishing capital punishment in Nevada

In the Feb. 25 Review Journal there was a short story about a liberal proposal to abolish capital punishment in Nevada. It seems the state cannot obtain the drugs necessary to carry out the punishment, and the bleeding heart liberals want to have death sentences commuted to life in prison without parole.

Why are we letting these murderers get off easy for their crimes? They certainly didn’t let their victims have it easy.

I suggest state lawmakers institute three choices for these murderers to chose from: firing squad, electric chair or hanging. No drugs required — problem solved. This way, these criminals will get the justice they deserve, and the victims’ families will get closure.

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.
