LETTERS: The United States can’t do it alone

The big issue in the Democratic Party has to do with climate change. All the candidates agree that it is caused by humans and that the United States must spend trillions of dollars to combat it or, within a decade or so, the world as we know it will end.

Yet all the so-called experts point out that if we do everything that is proposed, the temperature will stay much the same, maybe a degree cooler. No one is asking the Democrat candidates what they would do to force China and India — the two biggest pollution contributors — to help us “save our planet.”

Let’s face it. If you believe the planet will die if the United States doesn’t take these drastic steps, then we better start forcing China and India to stop all their pollution. No one in the media seems to want to ask the candidates that question.

LETTER: Sonia Sotomayor, retirement and race

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

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.
