Mayoral nonsense
Maybe it takes the sensibilities of an average citizen to guide mayors (“THIS isn’t a mob?!” Aug. 5).
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson should worry less about the wording (“mob” versus “disorderly people”) and more about instituting appropriate criminal penalties fo🐻r these types of behaviors.
It’s also t🦩ime for Mayor Adams to revoke New York City’s sanctuary status and get a grip on the number ofܫ individuals who have flooded the city.
Can we see some sensible and rational actions to take our citi🌺es b𒈔ack?

Left’s threat
Victor Davis Hanson has eloquently presented the most complete, compelling, and frightening analysis of the left’s determination to radically alter the United States into a one-party state with the government exercising massive control over everything (“🥃10 insidious ways the left has ܫseized and warped the US,” Aug. 8).
Perhaps the most insidious of all of ꦡthe outlined categories is the media, which enables the government to impose its vast array of beliefs.
The expansion of wokism has already found its ꦬway into such areas as the arts, medicine, sports, religion, and education at its earl⭕iest levels.
It will be particularly challenging to put a hal🧜t to this tsunami.
As a very old (90) Am🥂erican, I have conflicting hopes an🍎d worries about the future.
Will I live to see any changes?
What will my children 🌃and grandchildren have to experience?

Protest pest
In a way, I feel sorry for the parents of rich kid Theodore Weintraub, who paid people to protest a bar that wouldn’t serve him, even though they created this monster themselves (“Sore Boozer,” Aug. 4).
This is only the beginning. Not only can’t this spoiled brat accept rejection, but he also used the memory of t☂he Holocaust (among other despicable acts) as a weapon to get his own way and fu♑el his ego.
Parents, get this kid to therapy quickly.
May💝🌞be he’ll be able to turn his thinking around, giving him a chance at a sane life.

No-impeach Mitch
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, in saying that Republicans should not impeach President Biden, is making an early judgment before all the facts are in (“Mitch: Don’t impeach Joe,” Aug. 9).
McConnell should have said that we❀ need to let the facts come out to decide if there is enough to impeach.
Why rule out impeachment?
Typical 🌞doormat McConnell just wants us all t🥂o get along and be friendly to each other.
The problem is that the Democrats and t෴he press don’t play by this approach.
The 🥂old saying of “lead, follow or get out the way” is not appropriate for McConnell: Lead or꧂ get out of the way.

Pepper-spray perp
This story is especially reprehensible (“Woman seen in wild🐻 video brutally attacking taco vendor arrested, fired from job,” Aug. 10).
I was truly sickened by the alleged conduct of🍸 this vile woman.
She represents everything th🌱at’𝓡s wrong with our society.
If her beh🐈avior was truly unprovoked, she’s a vi💖olent thief and a despicable vandal.
She demonstrates zero respec🤪t for the r𒉰ule of law and shows inexplicable contempt for an honest small business owner.
If convicted, she needs to be jailed for the absolute maxi🌱mum term a꧒llowable by law.
She makes an extraordinarily compelling argument for zero-tolerance law enforcem𝓰ent.
