Trump’s censorshipreaches Jimmy Kimmel
Re: “ABC suspends Kimmel over his Kirk comments” (Web page A3, Sept. 18).
Suspending Jimmy Kimmel’s present is the most recent in authorities censorship.
After the cancelling of Stephen Colbert, Donald Trump celebrated and focused Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers. Two down, two to go. Then, Trump mentioned federal regulators ought to revoke broadcast licenses over late-night hosts who communicate negatively about him. This can be a direct assault on free speech and First Modification rights, and a main instance of Trump’s dictatorship ambitions and strategies.
Kimmel’s “offending” phrases, “many in MAGA land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk,” are confirmed by these actions.

Kimmel suspensionattacks free speech
Re: “ABC suspends Kimmel over his Kirk comments” (Web page A3, Sept. 18).
The suspension of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is nothing lower than an assault on free speech and an assault on our Structure. That is how censorship begins — silencing voices that dare to problem, mock or communicate reality to energy.
Brendan Carr, the chair of the Federal Communications Fee, who bears accountability for this shame, ought to resign instantly or be eliminated. If not, Congress should haul him in to testify and reply for this blatant assault on free speech.

What gained’t Trump’sloyalists sacrifice?
Re: “ABC suspends Kimmel over his Kirk comments” (Web page A3, Sept. 18).
Jimmy Kemmel was indefinitely suspended due to Donald Trump’s loyalists.
Trump, through his loyalists, is controlling the U.S. Division of Justice, firms, our well being division, and the judicial and legislative branches. He has and is eliminating the independence of those establishments and companies that have an effect on our lives and freedoms.
I’m questioning how a lot freedom Trump’s loyalists will proceed to sacrifice for him. Possibly I worded that improper; I’m questioning what they gained’t sacrifice for him.

Re: “Silicon Valley needs to address its role in Charlie Kirk’s killing” (Web page A6, Sept. 18).
So Charlie Kirk’s murderer spent a substantial amount of time on-line, as do nearly all of his era.
It was not his time on-line that gave him entry to a weapon able to reaching out to kill Mr. Kirk at over 150 yards, or the power to hit him with one shot. That was the accountability of these like his household who help the Supreme Court docket ruling that the primary clause of the Second Modification is successfully null and void.
That is the fruit of immediately’s political local weather of division, coupled with unfettered entry to firearms.

I additionally reported the state of affairs to a metropolis of San Jose worker who works on the senior heart adjoining to town park. Each metropolis staff appeared involved and informed me that they might report the matter to their supervisors.

Re: “Palestinians flee carnage” (Web page A1, Sept. 17).
Think about if we have been within the battle, getting bombed daily, having to maneuver all our belongings to a different place and our entire household risking getting killed. That is what’s occurring now, and there aren’t any peace negotiations in sight.
Benjamin Netanyahu is coming to the White Home once more. Hopefully, President Trump can persuade him to have a ceasefire to offer an opportunity for the remaining hostages to be launched.
Secretary of State Rubio must do extra, too, if attainable, to finish this battle and the fixed displacement of Palestinians.
