To the editor: Your article on why citizens do not credit President Biden for improving the economy missed the most obvious explanation. More than half of us make less than the average U.S. income, but all of us pay almost 20% more in prices and sales taxes than we did before Biden's presidency. And those wage gains the article mentioned come with higher income tax rates that take away part of the gain. As for post-pandemic job creation, no, Biden didn't do that. We got our jobs back because the...
To the editor: I completely disagree with Lorraine Ali's opinion that not televising the hush money and 2016 election interference trial of the former president is a disservice to the public. The primary goal of a criminal trial is to determine the facts and dispense justice, not entertain the masses. All those interested in staying informed about the daily trial proceedings in New York can watch the news coverage or read about it. As someone who worked in the superior courts of California for...
To the editor: In addition to the reforms discussed in your April 12 editorial about L.A. City Hall's corruption problem, I've got one more. Mayor Karen Bass, whose election I supported as a donor and volunteer, should henceforth refuse to endorse any City Council member who is under an ethics investigation. This spring, she endorsed Distric 12 incumbent John Lee, despite the fact that he faces 10 ethics charges in the case that sent his predecessor and former boss Mitchell Englander to prison....
In response to editorial on ceasefire I read today’s paper while visiting my in-laws in Lowell and your recent editorial called for a permanent Gaza ceasefire, did not include hostage release. First, Hamas repeatedly declared its intention to carry out multiple Oct 7ths and called for Oct 13th as a day to kill Jews a […]
Half of the Palestinian students at Stanford University were born in the United States (“DEI is not what Jefferson hoped for when he wrote ‘all men are created equal,’” web, April 26).
The Data Editors introduce “Embark,” the Daily’s special print issue on admissions, and reflect on the transition to college and Stanford’s role in our lives.
The Abraham Accords -- signed by Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Israel and Bahrain in 2020 -- were gaining traction.
The Democratic Party leadership wants more funding to hire more Border Patrol agents so they can process and allow more immigrants into our country -- and then distribute those people throughout the United States.
MAD, MAD WORLD It’s not only dismaying, but baffling to see modern day fascism continuing to fill our streets with hate and evil. 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.
Flipped Eclipse? I think the time-lapse picture of the eclipse on the cover of the April 10 issue is flipped. We watched from Montpelier, and the shadow wedge entered from the bottom and traveled up the sun. After totality, there was a sudden wedge of bright white light at the bottom that looked like the sun was shining a spotlight on us. It was not the golden sunlight; it was brilliant white and produced sharp-edged shadows. At the end, there was not the wedge we started with; rather, it looked...
