Our weekly round-up of letters published in the Arizona Daily Star.
The essay by a Fellow of the Heritage Foundation praises Frederick Douglas in his fight for emancipation yet does not mention repair or restoration of what was taken from such heroes initially or kept from them after emancipation. The writer represents “We’re all equal now, what else do you want? The law can’t be used now to give you an ’advantage’ over everybody else.
Many Republican officials are wrongly stating Hunter Biden was treated leniently, when in fact his prosecution for delayed payment of taxes contrasts sharply with the fact that others, most prominently Roger Stone, an ally of the former MAGA president, never even faced criminal charges for similar conduct. The false statements on Hunter’s application for a gun also would not prompt criminal prosecution absent evidence of violent behavior.
“I alone can fix it”; I am your warrior”; I am your justice”; “I am your retribution”; “I am the only one that can save this nation”. So saith Trump. There is no “I” in USA, just “us”. Only “We the People” with our individual talents, our unique insights, and our many efforts can fix the “it”. Only the laws we have created together can ensure justice. And only we can stop the retribution, cruelty, hate and violence that leads to endless cycles of civil strife and revenge.
U.S. Attorney Weiss announced that after five years of supposedly investigating Hunter Biden, he will plea guilty via a federal"Information" to two misdemeanor counts of tax evasion and enter Pre-Trial Diversion for a felony count of lying on a ATF form 4473 when purchasing a firearm. What a sweetheart deal! Biden will likely avoid doing any prison time. This deal was done via an Information, not from an Indictment, as I do not believe a Federal Grand Jury was ever empaneled by Weiss.
We must elect leaders who believe in teamwork, generosity, diverse skills, careful study, truth, kindness, and gentle humor. You will know them by those they credit and thank. They will be saying, “Together we can …”Re: the June 19 article “On Juneteenth, consider why Douglass was great American.” The former uses court-approved plea deals — the latter requires court trials for verdicts. Sentencing reflects the level of cooperation — not politics.I appreciate having the Citizen Election Questionnaire in the paper. Two comments by Ross Kaplowitch are concerning. First, individuals should not be making decisions regarding a communicable disease.
