It’s rational to privation to flight impending chaos

Manhattan: To Voicer Peter Altschuler: It is not astonishing that galore connected the losing broadside of this predetermination are experiencing a traumatized fight-or-flight reaction. Respect for escaped code is connected the wane with the “Snow White” histrion Rachel Zegler societal media mean-mobbed by the right, forced to publically apologize for her understandably affectional absorption to the predetermination results. Consider antisemite Candace Owens calling for her to beryllium locked successful a “padded cell” for what the nonrecreational provocateur labeled a “psychotic” telephone to unit erstwhile it was a simple, though emotional, look of dismay astatine the electoral choices of her chap Americans.

My aged person precocious near for the U.K. She thought a alteration of scenery mightiness instrumentality the sting retired of the devastating disappointment she felt successful our country. Probably a bully idea, “getting retired of Dodge,” I quipped. Dodge City, Kan., successful the 1870s was a notoriously unsafe and unstable spot known for attracting lawless and rambunctious men. It was a dark, chaotic and wicked spot wherever storied bid officers Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson struggled to support order. It became a refrain connected the classical tv bid “Gunsmoke,” wherever those connected the outs were warned to “get retired of Dodge.”

A fewer days into the rogues assemblage of furniture picks of the incoming administration, a Wild West zeitgeist emerges: clime deniers successful complaint of the EPA, accused intersexual assaulters successful complaint of instrumentality enforcement, anti-vaxxers astatine the helm of wellness administration, and Ukraine-invasion apologists moving borderline security. These anti-democratic moves, on with the volition to mandate them without Senate vetting, are a frontal battle connected the institutions that person evolved to support the peace. Willa Bernstein

Who?

Ewing, N.J.: I person been a Daily News scholar since 1975 and saw the nonfiction and photos astir celebrities leaving the state due to the fact that of Donald Trump’s predetermination triumph successful Sunday’s insubstantial (” ‘Have to get out!’ aft Don’s win,” Nov. 24). And my caput tells me, “Who cares?” These radical are of small interest to galore Americans and I didn’t adjacent cognize immoderate of them. I don’t spot the relevance of including them successful the paper. Richard Switzer

B-list prospects

Scarsdale, N.Y.: Now that Matt Gaetz has resigned from Congress and fixed up connected being U.S. lawyer general, I deliberation we tin each hold that helium is acceptable for a spot connected “Dancing with the Stars.” Harvey Wielstein

It lone gets worse

Orange, Conn.: With the existent continued dysfunction of the 2nd coming of Trump’s presidency, it is painfully evident that arsenic Yogi Berra erstwhile said, “It’s déjà vu each implicit again.” With the bizarre attempts to capable his furniture positions, damaged goods similar RFK Jr., Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem and galore different potentials volition destruct sensible, liable functioning of the imaginable departments. Throw successful MAGA sycophants similar Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tommy Tuberville and the remainder of the disposable Republican clowns and what we present person is simply a vessel of fools! And the skipper is Trump. When volition this ever stop? Wasn’t his archetypal word capable to springiness america a model into this adjacent one? Be forewarned: The worst is yet to come. Fred Portoff

Soulless requirement

White Plains, N.Y.: Whenever I applied for a imaginable job, I ever work the occupation description. If I met astir of the requirements, I applied for the position. If I didn’t person immoderate of the qualifications, I didn’t. Perhaps AI should vet resumes of furniture candidates. If their resumes bash not see applicable experience, their names would not beryllium forwarded to the Senate. Oh, I forgot, loyalty to the president is the lone qualification. Never mind. Randi Bernstein Feigenbaum

Backlash

Brooklyn: Re “Amsterdam attacks connected Jews a dire sign” (op-ed, Nov. 23): Rochel Leah Bernstein is either a astute idiosyncratic oregon a naif successful the woods. I presume the former. She claims she is “sick with grief implicit what happened successful Amsterdam” and says that the concern has been “astonishingly downplayed” by that city’s mayor. Well, she is easy astonished. Her words are consecutive retired of the Zionist playbook, successful which the longtime aggressors play make-believe dumb arsenic to wherefore atrocious things are happening to them. She should glimpse astatine the deplorable grounds of godawful acts that Zionists person inflicted connected Palestinians. But she needn’t interest excessively overmuch due to the fact that erstwhile Trump takes power, helium volition springiness the genocidal Benjamin Netanyahu everything helium wants, which volition effect successful monolithic taste cleansing of Palestinians. Nick Smith

Clueless move

Point Pleasant, N.J.: What happened to Jacqueline E. Mathews’ TV crossword puzzle? The caller writer (Ricky Cruz) is horrible! The clues marque small oregon nary sense, not to notation that immoderate person thing to bash with TV. Why does the Daily News ever person to hole what ain’t broken? Bring backmost Jacqueline! Gene Speroni

Better before

Ridgefield Park, N.J.: I wholly hold with Voicer Jan Subelka’s letter. The TV Crossword puzzle is 1 of my favourite regular activities and looked guardant to my Daily News to unbend and bask my crossword. But the puzzles from Ricky Cruz are horrible. The clues are sayings and person thing to bash with TV oregon movies. Please bring backmost Mathews’ work. Carmen Rivera

The agelong game

Manhattan: Three generations of my household person rooted for the Yankees for much than a century. Voicer John E. Deichmeister mistakenly describes their World Series decision arsenic “choking.” Actually, they performed predictably against their American League rivals and matched their regular-season deficiency of occurrence against the National League team. The Yankees deed and pitched marginally amended than the Dodgers, but they lacked the over-performance that the second got from Freddie Freeman, a reasonably emblematic effect for MLB successful a abbreviated series. Especially with escaped agency, shot dynasties tin lone beryllium measured by consistency implicit 162 games, during which squad extent wins out. It’s amended for the athletics but frustrating astatine the extremity for the instrumentality cheering for the “best” team. Michele P. Brown

Overtime abuse

Brooklyn: The MTA crying poorness erstwhile employees are stealing overtime is simply a laugh. Close down the fraud. The NYPD lieutenant earning much than $400,000 should person raised alarms. A crab subsister is expected to chopped backmost connected enactment hours physically for aesculapian reasons, and she’s expanding her hours. The different officers making hundreds of thousands of dollars successful overtime sounds similar padding the books. In galore cases, the brag successful complaint of okaying the overtime is bribed by employees for more. Employees instrumentality other breaks, enactment productivity slows down, they rotate leaving aboriginal and person coworkers motion oregon punch each other’s clip out. People should beryllium fired successful these cases. Where is the accountability? Don Adler

Associated needs

Manhattan: I judge that radical of each income levels should beryllium capable to unrecorded successful New York, but the City of Yes does not code the further services that mightiness beryllium needed, specified arsenic schools and playgrounds, if this programme is passed. Increased aesculapian services volition astir apt besides beryllium needed, truthful the metropolis should not let immoderate infirmary closings, specified arsenic what Mount Sinai is trying to bash with Beth Israel. There volition probably  beryllium an summation successful the request for nationalist proscription and determination volition beryllium much postulation connected the streets. None of this is being discussed by politicians, who should beryllium talking astir wherever the wealth for these services volition travel from. If much services are not provided, New York mightiness go the City of Disaster. Marcia Goldstein

Homogeneous audience

Manhattan: I wrote to this leafage implicit the Independence Day vacation successful July. I went with my person to spot the philharmonic “The Outsiders.” I shared my reflection that I counted less than 5 non-white radical successful the audience. On Saturday, I went with my sister, her girl and her grandson to spot “The Book of Mormon.” Again, I recovered that a immense bulk of the assemblage was white. I find this precise interesting, and a spot perplexing and surprising. By the way, some shows are great! Charles Adrian O’Connor
