To the editor: In saying that former President Trump's criminal trial in New York hardly warrants a "meh," UCLA law professor Richard L. Hasen sounds like a sportscaster before any sporting event, touting one team over the other. He opines on how the event will play out and the fan reactions to the perceived outcome. Everybody has an opinion about Trump's criminal trial related to his pre-2016 election payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, but no one can say for sure what will occur and how...
Tulsi Gabbard is the smartest and bravest potential vice presidential candidate in America right now, in my opinion, because she speaks the truth.
Former President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social on April 19: “We are under political attack from Biden’s D.C. thugs, working closely with the D.A.’s office, in order to help re-elect Crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in history.”
To the editor: Our voting choices may be "bleak" for some who feel the candidates do not fully represent or excite them. But what is more bleak is voter apathy, especially now in our current state of political upheaval? ("Biden and Trump’s main challenge? The apathetic voters who could decide the election," April 4) The ship of state is on fire, and we have people refusing to be part of the bucket brigade. Lives are at stake. But they don't like the captain, they complain that there are no fire...
The WCMC has expanded screening tools to include escalating risk assessment related to strangulation and stalking.
To the editor: The letter writer who defended evangelical Christians' support of former President Trump was at least partially correct — God does accomplish great things through imperfect people. However, his reference to the biblical story of King David doesn't support the notion that God was pleased with how he did things. For the most part, the kings of Israel were such a bad bunch that they led their people into idolatry and ultimately into utter destruction. In the case of David, unlike our...
NY Post readers discuss jurors selected for Donald’s Trump criminal trial involving alleged hush money payments.
To the editor: In a remarkable moment of clarity, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) seemed to realize his choice was between dooming GOP control of the House in the 2024 elections by maintaining legislative paralysis, or dooming Donald Trump's candidacy by resolving the issues on which Trump has claimed the big problems can't be solved until he is back in office. ("The House passes billions in aid for Ukraine and Israel after months of struggle," April 20) Johnson did this with a courageous and...
To the editor: It's absurd for columnist Jonah Goldberg to dismiss the U.S. critics of additional military aid to Israel as lacking determination. ("For Israel and Ukraine alike, U.S. support is proving unreliable and inadequate," Opinion, April 16) Israel in a calculated manner decided to strike an Iranian diplomatic site in Syria. Israel absolutely knew that Iran would be forced to retaliate. Without even providing foreknowledge of the attack to the U.S., which is helping foot the bill for...
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...
“[Donald Trump] thinks he’s being persecuted, but he’s simply being held to account for his alleged actions, as every other citizen of this country would be.”
So now it’s begun — round one of a probably endless stream of Donald Trump show-and-tells. Except, probably a lot of showing and little telling.
