The pot calling the kettle black

Dear Editor,

I am the parent of six and with 12 grandkids. I will be the first to say it matters neither way if someone has children or not. It’s just not a kitchen table topic for more Americans.

But it is for J.D. Vance. He obsesses about procreating like a mother-in-law craving a grandbaby. It’s just weird. He’s been name-calling women like a bully on a playground. “Childless cat ladies,” and accusing those without children to be less capable in leadership positions.

Dear Editor,

Wake up, America

Dear Editor,

Hamas executed seven hostages because they knew Israel’s IDF was coming to rescue them. Shooting someone in the back of the head at close range is an execution. Why then are people all over the world blaming Israel for everything?

It is Israel’s fault because Hamas will not negotiate a peace. Why would Hamas negotiate a peace when the whole world is backing them on their massacre of the Jews/Israelis on October 7 as well as blaming the Jews/Israelis for being massacred.
