LETTER: The Democrats and impeachment

With many Democrats announcing their intent to remove President Donald Trump months prior to his actually taking office, it’s mostly a foregone conclusion that they’ll soon get their wish, drafting formal articles of impeachment and holding a likely partisan vote just in time to nicely wrap and put a bow on their Christmas gift to the president.

Unfortunately for Democrats, the circus sideshow led by ringmaster Adam Schiff has not resulted in greater public support for impeachment, especially in battleground states. Actually removing Mr. Trump from office was always a long shot, and it is even less likely now, according to polls. Speaker Nancy Pelosi didn’t help their cause much by professing a distrust in allowing voters to determine the country’s future in the 2020 election.

With many pundits on all sides of the spectrum being somewhat critical of the Democrat field of candidates, many actually believe Mr. Trump could win a second term despite all his faults. Should that happen, I expect Mr. Trump will accomplish something historic: He’ll become the only president to be impeached twice.

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.
