The Jan. 17 letter, “Donald Trump is fearless and that’s a good thing,” stated that Social Security, prescription drugs, Medicare, Amtrak and post offices are going broke; our schools broken, borders wide open, health care a disaster.

These things did not happen during Obama’s term. Our government has fought over these issues for many, long years before Obama. Usually, if a company is going broke, it’s because of poor management. If we continue to have people bashing one party or another, we can never resolve our issues and that seems to be the format of Republicans vs. Democrats these days.

Let’s concentrate on what is in the best interest for this country, because this kind of bantering and pointing a finger to party individuals doesn’t work. Really, it takes two to tango so why do we condemn the other when our elected officials do a better job? I, for one, am very concerned about the politics of this country right now.

    Letter: We ought to be specific about immigrant groups
    Your coverage of President Trump’s State of the Union address included a quote from Kamala Harris: “Trump just said immigrants have caused the loss of innocent lives.” He did not say that. The article then quotes Ever Leon, a “Dreamer” in Mountain View: “That’s not a good way to portray immigrants, that immigrants who come here are bad people or...

    Letter: Khrushchev vow to take U.S. ‘from within’ was prescient
    Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev once said, “We will take you from within without firing a shot.” The Russians talk about having a cyber war capacity that could do more damage to the U.S. than a nuclear bomb. They showed during this last election that they can, indeed, affect our elections and more. Trump’s No. 1 job is to protect the...
