Raider mania out of control among local politicians

This Oakland Raiders thing seems to be out of control. Not with the people in Las Vegas, but with the elected officials.

It’s sad to see elected officials going overboard for a football team. Not sure what they’re doing, but they have no problem spending someone else’s money with no thought in mind to what the end result will be.

Can you imagine leaving Las Vegas on a Sunday — and at the same time some football fans are headed to a game?

What were they thinking locating this stadium near Interstate 15 and Russell Road?

I have to really blame myself and the residents of Southern Nevada for electing these people. It is our fault. Just look at the 9 percent turnout in the last municipal election. We have people who have no idea what they are doing, and this Raider fiasco is proof their knowledge of Las Vegas seems very limited.

Have fun on Raider football Sundays. Watching traffic live on football Sundays will be better then the games.

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.
