LETTER: More to the fentanyl issue

There were two things blatantly missing from Victor Joecks’ Wednesday commentary, “The ‘Pawn Stars’ tragedy and border security.”

First, the overwhelming majority of fentanyl comes into the United States via regulated border crossings, not via illegal entry. Even the free-market Cato Institute reports that fact. So while the borders are certainly porous, it had no bearing on Adam Harrison’s death.

Second, Mr. Joecks makes no mention of personal responsibility when one is involved in consuming dangerous drugs.

LETTER: A Trump miracle?

Victor Joecks’ assertion that God specifically intervened for Donald Trump (he actually called it a miracle) but allowed Corey Comperatore to be killed is absurd blasphemy and a perversion of scripture.

LETTER: Shame is powerful tool

At least half a dozen people should have resigned already over the recent Trump assassination attempt. Or they should have been fired in disgrace and dishonor.

LETTER: Another Biden success story

So glad to hear that our military considers this huge taxpayer-funded boondoggle such a success.
