To the editor: What Booker did is past extraordinary. It’s a exhibiting of braveness, integrity and management that has been sorely missing from our elected leaders. He’s talking reality to energy, standing as much as a bully, and reminding the American individuals that’s us who finally maintain the ability to find out our authorities. He has requested America to assist him take again our nation from a delusional demagogue, and now it’s as much as us to reply. Thanks, Sen.

To the editor: It’s about time segregationist Thurmond’s file is erased. For all his rants in opposition to President Trump and Republican insurance policies up to now, Booker supplied no options. Akin to the Democrats’ failed 2024 presidential marketing campaign technique, it was “cease Trump” with no competing usable insurance policies. How will Booker trim the federal price range deficit by a trillion {dollars}? Or is he saying, “Enterprise as typical. Let our kids and grandchildren pay for the nation going bankrupt”? For all his phrases, the picture I see is Don Quixote tilting at windmills. Booker supplied a lot of criticism, however nothing constructive.
