Rep. Cresent Hardy argues in his commentary that we should listen to our ally Israel and reject the deal hammered out with Iran concerning their cessation of developing nuclear arms (“Simply put, if Iran and Hamas win, US ally Israel loses,” Monday Review-Journal). Rep. Hardy states that Israel is qualified to make the judgment because, geographically, it sits quite close to Iran.
The Bureau of Land Management roundup of wild horses in Cold Creek is quite horrific (“BLM horse roundup has fast start out of gate,” Sept. 1 Review-Journal). The roundup reveals adequate evidence to fire a few administrators and mandate a total change in the federal mission dealing with wild horses and burros.
I’m a die-hard UNLV football fan. It’s part of a Southerner’s DNA to support local college sports. We arrived in Las Vegas in 1968 and watched the Rebels play under the lights at a downtown high school football field. I’ve been attending games ever since, most of that time as a scholarship donor sitting midfield, lowest section on the west side of Sam Boyd Stadium.

Ray Murphy complained in his letter to the editor that the “Clark County Commission has just picked our pockets” (“More Cops tax,” Sept. 7 Review-Journal). Mr. Murphy writes that he has lived here since 2002, and he complains of sheriffs constantly asking for money for more officers.
It’s time for Republicans in Congress to finally admit that it is just possible that the president actually did something right, this once.
Could the Review-Journal please stop with the bogeyman propaganda?
The latest story on Rep. Joe Heck is typical (“Heck announces opposition to Iran nuclear deal,” Sept. 3 Review-Journal). When running for office, Rep. Heck runs as a conservative. When his vote means nothing, he votes conservative, such as by “repealing” Obamacare.
On Labor Day, let’s do more than attend a barbecue and lament the end of summer. Let’s talk about and commemorate the importance of hard work year-round and how our contributions to the economy make America work. Let’s recognize all of the men and women who are working for a better life, just as our forefathers did centuries ago.
