LETTER: 4th of July in Las Vegas … and here come the illegal fireworks

Another Fourth of July in Vegas. Never have I lived anywhere that fireworks were in such abundance in the illegal form. We now have a website on which to register a complaint, and yet I see no decrease in the numbers. If every person who was illegally using them were actually fined, Clark County’s financial problem’s would be solved.

Whose house has to burn down or whose pet has to have a heart attack and die before something is done? Every year — for my sanity and the sanity of my service dog — I want to go away for the whole week leading up to the Fourth, but I’m afraid I’ll come home to a burned-down house.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

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.
