Let Joe Biden live out his days in peace (Letters)

Let Biden live out his days in peace Re Democratic leaders must reckon with the Biden coverup May commentary I am angry at Doug Friednash and furious at Jake Tapper Joe Biden is no longer president and has now been diagnosed with late-stage prostate cancer Do we need to beat a dead horse I in recent weeks petitioned a friend What purpose is Jake Tapper s tell-all book about Biden except to enrich his own wallet and time in the spotlight I will not read his book and it is terrible to demean and ridicule a man who served in the population spotlight for five decades who lost a wife and daughter in a terrible car crash and one of two sons to brain cancer and now will be fighting a deadly infection Can he just be left alone to die in peace The piling on to Biden is even more mystifying when Trump has been impeached twice convicted of sexual assault knowingly prompted an attack on the U S Capitol while his supporters chanted Hang Mike Pence and then pardoned these insurrectionists and other convicted criminals to go back out into the streets see Bannon Stone etc Friednash has jumped on the bandwagon of blame Does it matter now The results of the vote Trump will be harmful to of the U S population as the effects unfold and history will be not be kind to this administration They are unqualified hucksters with a lawyer overseeing all clinical decisions of trained doctors and a Director of Homeland Measure that has only the vaguest knowledge about the Constitution and U S laws The attorney general is a puppet who spouts verbatim the same nonsense that Karoline Leavitt does verbiage that has nothing to do with actual facts Looking backward accomplishes nothing at this point Let the man die in peace He served his country well perhaps waning in his last years No one talks about Trump s decline which is also evident to all and is also being covered up by every single sycophant in his administration and the GOP Congress It s obvious in the exact same way Biden s was Wendy Hall Buena Vista Was President Joe Biden s physical and mental condition concealed from us Majority of likely Although not justified this would not be the first time a president s condition while in office was hidden from the general Woodrow Wilson was partially paralyzed and his wife secretly acted as president Dwight Eisenhower had a heart attack after golfing in Colorado and Crohn s complaint George H W Bush had Graves complaint Chester A Arthur had a sever kidney sickness Ronald Reagan had Alzheimer s illness and countless speculate he had his first markers while in office Grover Cleveland had jaw cancer None of these including the issue of Biden s medical are criminal or illicit But the cover-ups of Donald J Trump are After the January attack on the U S Capitol Trump labelled it a Day of Love even though more than police officers were injured four committed suicide within a year and there was over million in damages Since then he pardoned of the rioters who already pleaded guilty or were convicted and serving jail time False facts to obscure and shroud that January was an insurrection In the summer of he tried to delete Mar-a-Lago surveillance footage to obstruct the Justice Department s assessment into his removing classified Top Secret documents from the White House In early Trump was determined guilty on felony counts

AG Phil Weiser says is behind the strategy Legal experts say Trump is unlikely to win Colorado lawsuit against sanctuary policies But he may not care Those who live in glass houses shouldn t throw stones Ronald Fischer Lakewood Re Sunday cartoon May The political cartoon depicts three Democratic donkeys mimicking the three monkeys See no evil hear no evil and say no evil They sit on the head of former President Joseph Biden I have no issue with this cartoon because I feel it s true However in all fairness the same cartoon could be redrawn nowadays subbing in three elephants on the head of our current president This issue is usually ignored by the mainstream press Mariann Storck Wheat Ridge Tax cuts for the rich cost the poorest among us Re What to watch as bill moves to Senate May news story The article from the Associated Press about sticking points for Senators considering President Donald Trump s Big Beautiful Bill mentions the lack of savings cuts to Medicaid and food stamps questions about making the tax cuts permanent and the extension of the debt limit Left out of the discussion is the fact that each of the top earners whose wealth is counted in millions if not billions of dollars will receive about This is enough for one individual to repay almost of the lowest earners for the money they will in effect be giving to the highest earner These lowest earners will have an income loss of about considering the losses of healthcare care and food on the table projected under this bill in addition to the increased costs due to tariffs Also not mentioned is the even more dangerous so-called poison pill a late addition that would protect representatives retroactively from punishment for contempt of court effectively freeing the administration from any obligation to follow court orders This is the perfect recipe for full autocracy in a formerly democratic United States of America David Schroeder Arvada Listen to the professional investors Re Economic activity Trump ignores warning signs May news story The article has a valid point but what about you and me Are we also ignoring warning signs Yes we are President Donald Trump has been involved in major bankruptcy cases and two modern notable legal cases in New York falsifying business records and misrepresenting his wealth and property value He is known to be very loose with the truth and his ethics are in need of improvement Thousands of men and women around the world are professional investors who seriously examination the financial sector They are not playing the political encounter When a solid plurality finds Trump s economic approach suspect the opinion should be respected Why do millions of Americans consider Trump a financial genius and ignore the wisdom of the professionals We are ignoring the obvious and sowing the wind We will reap the whirlwind Paul Bonnifield Yampa What happened to grassroots politics Before COVID I attended a vibrant Denver Political Action Day at Civic Center Park While I didn t agree with every booth or viewpoint represented I valued the open exchange of ideas and the people who were willing to speak their minds That same week I went to a public event at the Blush Blu bar supporting a local LGBTQ candidate The ability in the room was electric people were hopeful engaged and excited to build something new Since then Denver s politics have felt more disconnected While major issues are still front and center the visible presence of grassroots groups especially ones rooted in working-class communities has noticeably declined In the absence of consistent grassroots organizing I see a growing dominance of voices backed by out-of-state interests or polished through institutional filters A great number of individuals trying to engage by speaking at city council meetings forming advocacy groups or running for office seem to experience increasing difficulty in developing through or gaining meaningful opportunities to pursue major issues I ve started to wonder Are nowadays s political alliances and endorsements built on local relationships and mutual struggle or are they increasingly tied to out-of-state or corporate influences A healthy civic values necessities region engagement strong identity networks and stability in order to foster shared action Without a vibrant grassroots presence we jeopardy allowing others who don t necessarily reflect the values of numerous across Denver s diverse spectrum to dominate inhabitants discourse How can we rebuild that vital connection between everyday people and political power Rodney Baker Denver Examine the law that established community broadcast Re Pros and cons of PBS content May open forum regarding Make constituents broadcasting great again by shaking it up May commentary Respectfully the issue is President Donald Trump s May executive order Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Biased Media The reality is there will be less to be taken by the lapels and shaken at PBS and NPR when one s existence is made more arduous because a revenue stream has been shut down in violation of our First Amendment Not agreeing with the narrative is not a legitimate basis for Trump to engage in censorship The amount of free speech otherwise available will be significantly reduced Freedom of speech and the press are what allow leaders to be held accountable by freely questioning and sharing observations and concerns respecting gaps between stated leaders assertions and reality Further history shows that our Congress was well ahead of its time On November Congress passed the Society Broadcasting Act of which created the nonprofit Corporation for Society Broadcasting That led to the creation of PBS and NPR And one of the six congressional declarations of this law s plan states that it furthers the general welfare to encourage noncommercial educational radio and television broadcast programing which will be responsive to the interests of people both in particular localities and throughout the United States and which will constitute an expression of diversity and excellence Therefore censoring such legendary and noteworthy nonprofit institutions in such a tyrannical manner is part and parcel with authoritarianism Lou Horwitz St Louis Mo Sign up for Sound Off to get a weekly roundup of our columns editorials and more To send a
