To the editor: I learn with dismay that Monday’s column by Doyle McManus can be his final weekly piece for The Occasions. With out sounding like a personality from “Distress,” I’ve been an enormous fan of his for years. Know that he has knowledgeable, impressed and provoked a lot soul-searching on this and plenty of different households.

To the editor: The article supposes that public disapproval and misery on the disruption brought on by Elon Musk’s actions will finally end in destructive penalties for President Trump within the midterm elections (“Trump is cheering Elon Musk now, but if anything goes wrong it will be the president’s problem,” March 3).
The important thing to that assumption is that Trump cares in regards to the public. In my view, all of his actions to form every section of the federal government to be as subservient because the Republican Senate and Congress will result in an inevitable try to ascertain himself as president-king for all times.

To the editor: Doyle McManus — presumably a beneficiary of the first Modification — in fact defends a liberal European political neighborhood intent on inflexible elimination of any speech opposing their views (“Column: Trump says he wants to end Russia’s war on Ukraine. But he’s acting like Putin’s wingman,” Feb. 24). He additionally apparently helps an enormously costly struggle that has no discernible ending and cares much less about hundreds of Ukrainians and, actually, Russians, dying each day. Lastly, it’s the very politicians that McManus has lengthy endorsed who put the USA within the place we face.

To the editor: Whereas many Individuals are shocked by President Trump’s assertion that Ukraine began the struggle with Russia, possibly the chief of the free world is on to one thing. Maybe we must always ship inspectors to Ukraine. To not search for yellow cake uranium — you possibly can solely do that after — however as an alternative to seek for an enormous magnetic gadget that one way or the other pulled all these Russian tanks and artillery into Ukraine.

To the editor: Like so many others, Doyle McManus omits the truth that NATO — like all alliances — is a two-way road. When the U.S. invaded Iraq in response to 9/11, troops from the UK and different NATO international locations supported us. By no means thoughts the fabricated pretense for the invasion; our allies caught by us.

To the editor: McManus didn’t tackle that just about all Republican senators have sat silently on the sidelines — completely subservient to Trump as he abandons rules that America has held pricey for over 75 years. These senators needs to be demanding that their counterparts within the Home impeach Trump for placing our nation’s safety in danger, however don’t rely on it. They’re pushed extra by concern of Trump than concern over hazard to our nation and to our allies.

To the editor: Nobody needs to be shocked by Trump’s transfer to barter with one social gathering and never getting something in return. He has a historical past of doing that. In Israel, he moved the embassy, left the Palestinians out and acquired nothing. In Afghanistan, he overlooked the central authorities and once more, nothing in return. Now Russia is in, Ukraine is out.

To the editor: The U.S. is much from “turning its again on Ukraine.” We’re in search of a constructive finish to the struggle, whereas persevering with to help Ukraine militarily. This, regardless of all of our president’s heckling.
With all due respect, McManus seems sufficiently old to recollect our 1973 exit from South Vietnam. That was abandonment — utter, plain and easy. I served two years in that struggle.

To the editor: We love you, Doyle, and we are going to miss you. We are going to miss you together with the standard Sunday Opinion part. The Chandlers should be so proud to see The Occasions return to its roots as a Republican Social gathering mouthpiece.
