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.

I’ve known smart people with kids and the dumbest with kids, and it’s just dumb and small-minded to think the way J.D. does.

Comparing apples to oranges

Dear Editor,

Just like Donald J. Trump, my Father’s brother was clipped in the ear by a Japanese sniper during WWII. Miracles are all around us with the known and unknown, and some make good with those miracles and some don’t, and Trump didn’t. He said his brush with death made him a changed man.

He said he was going to play nice and reunite the country. But instead, he went right back to his hate rhetoric and divisiveness. Just another promise of his that hit the dust.

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.

Be careful what you chuckle over

We hear so many numbers that we forget how large single digits can be —especially when followed by a percent sign. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has left the 2024 presidential race, but his polling numbers could still cause havoc on Election Day. Those votes could be channeled to Donald Trump. If you weren’t voting for Kennedy anyway, his recent “Bear-in-central-park” story might register as nothing more than a chuckle. If you’re a Trump supporter, Kennedy’s exit is likely good news, but future rogue third-party hopefuls remain capable of complicating both Democratic and Republican plans. If Harris-Walz wins in November but struggles
