Letters to the editor for Aug. 6
Kari Lake – a cautionary taleFormer mainstream media TV news reporter Kari Lake’s astonishing reinvention of herself as an avid Trumpian candidate for governor of Arizona — gushing lies, conspiracy theories and scorn for “fake news” as profusely as the master himself — is, not surprisingly, the subject of much political commentary. One pundit referred to her courting of Trump’s endorsement as choosing to “ride the tiger.”Who smiled as she rode on a tiger.
I also question the media’s use of her situation as being “illegally detained.” Last I heard she was “arrested” for narcotics, not detained from a basketball game. Of course, the Russian judicial system is different than ours, but we really cannot argue against every practice that they have in place. When she inevitably gets out, soon I hope, I trust that her belief in this nation is improved. We all agree we are flawed but still the best we know of.
There is no basis found in the Constitution for this new “test,” created to remove rights from Americans that were recognized long ago. Reading the Constitution under this new “test” is a frozen and literal reading, making the Constitution a dead document, and not the living document that our evolving country needs. Ruling that a person begins life immediately upon conception is truly a Catholic belief, long held by the Catholic Church, and it is contrary to many other religions.
And you wonder why the majority of our population are dismayed, disgusted, and want a change. This mess cannot be blamed on Trump, although the Democrats are using him as their potential lifeline, but the rope is nearly severed.Recession under BidenThe Bureau of Economic Analysis revealed that the gross domestic product contracted by .09% in the second quarter. This follows a 1.6% negative GDP growth report for the first quarter and technically meets the definition of a recession.
