To the editor: I worked in Los Angeles as an attorney for 30 years, mostly downtown in the Stanley Mosk Courthouse. Sometime during that period, that court decided to use tape recorders instead of court reporters at hearings. ("No transcript, no appeal: California courts face 'crisis' over lack of records," April 12) Visualizing blank or garbled recordings being the only evidence of what transpired at a hearing, I was nervous.

One of the less-discussed aspects of candidate forums as they ramp up in the weeks before an election is that candidates get to meet all the others in the race and hear – sometimes for the first time -- just how aligned their views are (or are not).

Professional, genocide-chanting social justice martyrs are gladly professing their support for terrorists who murder, rape and torture. It is beyond comprehension that people today can knowingly and deliberately choose to side with […]
I was reading an article last week about members of the "Squad" demanding that anti-Jewish protesters be released and allowed to resume their terrorist-supporting activities -- and I have to say, this just shows that these members of Congress hate Jews.
Tulsi Gabbard is the smartest and bravest potential vice presidential candidate in America right now, in my opinion, because she speaks the truth.
