LETTER: Trump puts democracy at risk

America’s democracy has always been defined by a key factor: the peaceful transition of power. When it was time for George Washington to step down and hand power over to John Adams, it was one of the first times world history that there was a peaceful transition.

America has been the greatest democracy in the world from the time of its creation, but that greatness is in jeopardy. After President Donald Trump’s un-American comments during a White House briefing that suggested he will not hand over power if he loses the election, Americans should be worried.

If we sit idly by and allow Mr. Trump to circumvent the results of the election, America will no longer be the greatest democracy the world has ever seen. If we allow Mr. Trump to steal this election, we will be an embarrassment to those who came before us and who built such a great country. If we want to Keep America Great, we must hold President Trump accountable.

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.

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.
