Letter: This is not diplomacy

What happened in the White House Friday was a disgrace to our nation. We should be ashamed of our  President and Vice President, two bullies humiliating and demeaning a true leader who's worked tirelessly to save his country and  democracy from a Russian dictator.

Letter: Will we survive the next four years?

Americans’ current state of anger will force someone, to take action to alleviate the hurt.  People are feeling left out with no control over their future. They have a leader on a revenge tour.  Many of these people follow his lead and vent through social media, use hate speech, and in some cases, they physically harm others.

Letter: Why money for this, but not for that?

Just a bunch of wondering.  1. Tanny Badwin and Mark Pocan talks about woman's health, yet they voted against the Riey Laken and Men in women's sports.  Furthermore, they see no problem with men using women's locker rooms.
