The left’s quietness about Iran: Letters
Problem: Leftists should stay quiet about the fatal protests in Iran. With everyday citizens taking to the streets in Venezuela calling for change, I can’t help but wonder—where are the “No Kings” rally participants? Shouldn’t this be a moment of celebration for them? (“Protesters’ lives are in danger,” January 15). Not too long ago, I […]
Au pair gives testimony in Virginia murder trial, shares love letters in court
Emotional Testimony in Virginia Murder Trial A man accused of involvement in the murders of his wife and another man was the focus of a tense courtroom scene in Virginia. On Wednesday, Juliana Perez Magalhães, the nanny involved in the case, read emotional letters she had written from prison. In her letters, she expressed love […]
Criticism of ICE by Democrats: Letters
Problem: The heated rhetoric surrounding the murder of Renee Nicole Good by ICE agents in Minneapolis. What happened in Minneapolis is, frankly, tragic. The woman, perhaps, should have listened to the officers, exited her vehicle, and left the car behind. Her actions, I think, inadvertently placed everyone in harm’s way. While some Democrats cry murder, […]
Trump’s influence on Venezuelan oil: Letters
Issue: President Trump Controls Venezuelan Oil Sales Following Nicolás Maduro’s Arrest It’s true—Nicolás Maduro’s arrest revolves around oil. This situation aims to recover billions in assets taken by Hugo Chávez and Maduro from American companies. It also has implications for lowering global oil prices. When prices increase, as they do, it can fund Russia’s military […]
The late-night issue and additional topics: Letters
late night suicide Since President Trump emerged on the political scene, late-night comedians seem to have strayed from their original goal of just making us laugh (“A Year Too Long Is Wrong,” Kirsten Fleming, December 30). What they often call “humor” comes off more like a daily lecture on moral superiority. It’s kind of like, […]
Fake day-care scam: Letters
Issue: An investigation into the Minnesota day care and welfare fraud scandal. There’s no way to convince any sensible American that Governor Tim Walz wasn’t aware of these issues (“Waltz ‘turned a blind eye’ to allegations,” Dec. 30). I think Mr. Walz should be removed and held accountable. Also, Rep. Ilhan Omar and others involved […]
Trump’s effort for peace between Russia and Ukraine: Letters
President Trump’s Peace Efforts in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict The United States’ approach to establishing peace in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war can seem like a skewed form of diplomacy, where Russia benefits while Ukraine suffers. This perspective exposes the flaws in current policies, which appear to stem from a mix of naïveté and bias, allowing Russia’s […]
New York requires Elise Stefanik and others: Letters
Come back, Elise It’s unfortunate that Councilor Elise Stefanik chose not to run for mayor. She likely would have come out on top (“She’s Steff’ out” Dec. 20). Elise, please return and stay involved in politics. You represent New York’s future. You’re a strong advocate for people’s rights, and New York truly needs you. Mo […]
The reason Jayden is unable to use capital letters
What’s the deal with people who type everything in lowercase? You’ve seen it, right? Everything typed seems to blend together: it could be a text, a social media post, or even a comment. Regardless, it’s all in lowercase. “If you see ‘LOL,’ you’re likely dealing with a Boomer or Gen X person.” This style is […]

Alaska Challenges Insurers Over Climate-Related Policies Alaska’s state officials issued warning letters to four main insurance firms on Monday, expressing concerns that their climate-focused policies disadvantage energy projects and may breach state insurance and consumer protection laws.
