Letter To the editor,

     All the world knows who is leading that assault: Donald Trump. Why then isn’t the President, or Democrats, or liberal and progressive opinion writers calling Trump and his high-ranking followers’ traitors? Not just “fascists” and “autocrats” but traitors. Aren’t the Trumpists committing treason by actively subverting constitutional democracy, the very fabric of our political system?

      In a rare pushback against the radioactive pollution industry, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission — well known as a rubber stamp for the nuclear lobby — has flatly rejected an attempt to further weaken the agency’s radiation exposure regulations.

     Suddenly there’s major concern across the country — from the mainstream media to every rock-ribbed Republican — for the rights of Afghan women and girls to be able to work, to go to school.

 “LOST CAUSE LOSER”

     President Biden’s Agenda is comprehensive, and it is built around American Families and improving communities. Many American leaders are confused with the massive and monumental amount of work needed to start this Agenda, but a can do attitude can change the course of America and its history.

Reparations for the Slave Owners’ Descendants?

      Now that the Taliban have the upper hand, it’s in America’s best interest to acquiesce and make a generous offer of a bounty for safe passage for airlifting remaining Afghans and all-American citizens out of Afghanistan. The bounties paid should be funds belonging to Afghanistan currently held in accounts frozen in Europe and the U.S. Hopefully, the Taliban may be open to such an agreement to avoid more unnecessary blood shed as well as further destruction to their homeland. Beside the offer of a BOUNTY, the U.S. should offer other diplomatic incentives and humanitarian assistance.

     An estimated 3.5 million renters face the likelihood of eviction over the next two months – despite the availability of $46 billion in emergency rental assistance (ERA) allocated by Congress. The crux of this looming crisis is the uneven local response to providing authorized assistance to both renters and landlords. And the approaching September 30 deadline for first round funding, against the approaching September 30 deadline for first-round funding leaves dwindling days for corrective actions.
