A location of cards can’t structure you from reality

Philadelphia: Anyone deliberation the suffering of Hurricanes Helene and Milton was an unusual clip to effort and people governmental points? Not truthful for erstwhile President Donald Trump and the MAGA cult. Their tapestry of lies astir FEMA’s effect to the storms was disgusting and a motion of desperation.

The erstwhile president has nary respect for the voters either, oregon for those who be his pep rallies. If helium did, helium would not service them a regular fare of lies. As a tax-dodger, helium has nary respect for the fund challenges of Americans; arsenic a draft-dodger, nary respect for the courageousness and sacrifices of our military. His deficiency of respect for the regularisation of law, our signifier of ideology and the Bill of Rights demeans america all, particularly women! He fills Truth Social with hatred for the conception of emotion thy neighbor, an important rule of each faiths.

Supporters judge helium has concern successes. He has none. He expects his run rally expenses to beryllium picked up by “sucker” taxpayers. His projected tariffs are definite catastrophe for the system and for the consumer. One run information is his committedness to bail retired billionaires. Those wishing to thrust the Trump tiger of deceit, fear, hate, revenge and speedy fixes indispensable beryllium prepared to beryllium devoured by it.

Every American should question authorities policy, but expect nary alteration from a convicted felon and pathological liar peddling fearfulness without facts! He has nary respect for voters, truthful they should instrumentality the favour connected Election Day. Michael J. Cummings

Racism connected display

Bronx: When Trump began his Make America Great Again campaign, I answered a Voicer to accidental that it was a telephone to marque America achromatic again. Perhaps present aft the Madison Square Garden rally, that Voicer yet got his existent answer. As for the Republican Party, each I tin accidental is shame connected you all! You person chosen a campaigner who volition destruct America and each we basal for. We are present truthful divided that adjacent Gorilla Glue can’t assistance us. Jose R. Roldan

American dictator

Staten Island: Donald Trump is the caller Hitler. Discrimination, racism and sexism are his policies. Is this what we privation for a president? Granted, we request change, but helium is not the 1 to marque them. He wants to beryllium lord and master, and that is not what the U.S.A. is about. We are astir choice, but with him we won’t person it. Please deliberation astir it earlier you propulsion the lever. Natalie Johnson

Insensitive invocation

Westbury, L.I.: Democrats are perpetually utilizing the sanction Hitler for governmental purposes. They usage that sanction truthful flippantly without reasoning astir the symptom it causes. It’s not conscionable a connection — it stands for the torture and decease of people, genocide and heavy pain. People utilizing the sanction Hitler should not beryllium president of the United States. Joyce Miller

Do not follow

Brooklyn: Win oregon suffer successful this election, I americium acrophobic that we are going to beryllium stuck with Trumpism. The GOP is going to effort and emulate Trump’s ways — lying, deriding immigrants, radical remarks, etc. JD Vance and Ron DeSantis person already exposed themselves arsenic his puppets. The 1 and lone happening I hold with Trump astir were his statements connected veterans being suckers and losers: Vance, a veteran, belongs successful that category, arsenic helium turned from calling his buddy “America’s Hitler” to his highness. Keep this successful caput arsenic you determine who to ballot for. The orangish antheral said helium would invoke a statesmanlike pardon for each those who raided the Capitol connected Jan. 6, making the decease of the policemen successful vain. As for the wives of men who accidental they’d alternatively ballot for Trump than a woman, present is the accidental to amusement that you person a caput of your own. Anthony Bruno

What’s truthful funny?

Whiting, N.J.: What is Kamala Harris laughing astir each the time? Every clip I spot her connected TV oregon successful the newspaper, she has her rima wide unfastened laughing astir something, who knows what? If she loses the election, volition she inactive beryllium laughing? She lone shows america that she is simply a laughing implicit idiot! John Robert Brandenburg

Blunders abroad

Manhattan: I hold with Voicer James Hyland that determination should person been a statesmanlike statement focusing connected overseas policy, but his investigation of some the Ukrainian and Iranian issues is astatine champion incomplete. Vladimir Putin would person preferred an America inactive bogged down successful Afghanistan, wasting billions per twelvemonth connected a corrupt and unpopular authorities that could not basal for 2 weeks aft 20 years of American support. His involvement successful Ukraine arose much than 2 decades agone and was driven acold much by Russian home concerns than thing Trump oregon President Biden mightiness person done. As for Iran, determination is nary statement implicit the intent and means of its theocratic regime, but a main restraint connected its worst means was the atomic statement Barack Obama enactment successful place. Trump thoughtlessly canceled that, resulting successful a acold graver menace to Israel today. He plays checkers portion Putin and Iran play chess. Michael Barnhart

Stronger than that

Auburndale: To Voicer Dom Mastropolo: A President Harris volition not authorities that she wants to effort being president for life, arsenic Trump said astir Xi Jinping. She volition not inquire aides to permission the country successful bid to talk privately with Putin and obsequiously cave successful beforehand of him, saying she doesn’t spot wherefore helium would effort to power our elections. And she decidedly volition not speech emotion letters with Kim Jong Un! Kamala is simply a pugnacious idiosyncratic who doesn’t respect and privation to emulate dictators. Cathi Venis

Stuck the landing

Staten Island: I don’t cognize what the large woody was astir SpaceX’s rocket re-landing successful its silo. Captain Video did it successful the 1950s without a silo. Thomas B. Tobiassen

Plant power

Brooklyn: To Voicer Joe Fontanelli: When plants origin problems, it is due to the fact that they were irrigated with oregon contaminated with runoff h2o from animals, specified arsenic chickens oregon dairy cows. Plants are a bully root of macromolecule per calorie. A serving of 100 calories of broccoli has 12 grams of protein, portion 100 grams of steak person lone six. John D. Blank

Wasted space

Brooklyn: Why discarded newsprint erstwhile nary 1 tin read, overmuch little capable in, the Saturday crossword astatine the extremity of the paper? Charlie O’Neill

Unrealistic alternatives

Manhattan: Since helium started his different progressive governmental career, Councilman Christopher Marte has had important enactment from the well-connected and politically almighty NIMBY supporters of the Elizabeth Street Garden, truthful it is nary astonishment that helium opposes lodging astatine that tract (“Save this plot & physique much housing,” op-ed, Oct. 28). His arguments are unoriginal and wrong. Although operation connected Haven Green lodging connected Elizabeth St. tin commencement wrong days, helium proposes 388 Hudson St., which would instrumentality galore years if it was ever built. The metropolis has ever projected that arsenic additional, not replacement, lodging on with Haven Green, the projected Elizabeth St. housing. The parking store astatine 2 Howard St. has besides been talked astir for 10 years with zero progress. Any different alternatives would beryllium starting from zero and instrumentality years, if not decades, to build. Alec Pruchnicki

Ticket usher

Staten Island: My Aunt Fay lived successful New York City. She was an avid Brooklyn Dodgers fan. “Gussie, you’re disconnected adjacent week. Here’s plentifulness of wealth if you’ll spell to Ebbets Field adjacent you, basal successful enactment and bargain a World Series summons for me.” As requested, ma drove there, parked, walked and soon recovered herself surrounded by people. Overwhelmed, she spotted an older pistillate going toward the stadium. She explained her concern and disorder to the woman, who said, “Come with me. I’m connected my mode to work. I’ll amusement you wherever to stand. You’ll beryllium archetypal successful enactment erstwhile I unfastened my summons booth!” Lynne Stone

Idle talk

Bronx: I wholly hold with Voicer Frank Rice. These in-dugout interviews are boring and useless. I judge the players are not funny successful giving them. Please stop. Get into the game. Ralph Canzone Sr.
