Rep. Susie Lee’s Shutdown to End All Shutdowns Act too little to late

So Rep. Susie Lee is proud that she and her “freshman colleagues,” all Democrats, introduced the Shutdown to End All Shutdowns Act (Monday Review-Journal).

Am I the only one who gets the irony? The shutdown occurred only because Rep. Lee and her fellow Democrats, especially Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, refused to do what they were elected to do — govern and legislate. If they had properly legislated before the shutdown and had the guts to challenge Speaker Pelosi, this attempt at “legislating” afterward would never have come about. How about it, Rep. Lee? Time to “get things done” — your words — at the southern border. Fund the wall.

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.
