Berkeley gives toolittle safety at occasion
Re: “UC Berkeley in Fed crosshairs” (Web page A1, Nov. 12).
Relating to the protest at UC Berkeley exterior a TPUSA occasion, why is there no more safety on the college to forestall violence at protests? Why is freedom of speech at UC on just one aspect of politics? If I had been a pupil and didn’t like an occasion, I might simply keep residence.
I really feel that universities ought to do a greater job of presenting all sides of a problem.

Federal brokers’ actionscloaked in thriller
Re: “Federal agents conduct visits” (Web page B1, Nov. 9).
Apparently, it’s unknown particularly what company the brokers represented, nor what questions they had been asking. It’s not identified what number of there truly had been. These door-to-door interviews occurred in Fremont. The mayor appeared to not know these “knock and talk” visits had been happening earlier than the morning they began.

The actual fact is, Trump wantsEpstein recordsdata hidden
Re: “New links to Epstein continue to roil Trump” (Web page A1, Nov. 13).
Our president is so tied to Jeffrey Epstein which you can’t say one with out the opposite.
Donald Trump continues to disclaim there’s a relationship, however Trump’s historical past says in any other case. He insults girls, has been adjudicated of sexual assault, bragged about grabbing girls by their woman components, walked into pageant dressing rooms whereas girls had been undressed, is accused of dishonest on his wives, paid off a number of girls to cover his affairs and has participated in Epstein’s events.
Did the president have relations with underage women at Epstein’s? It certain matches his profile, doesn’t it? Now you perceive why Trump is so adamant about hiding the information. And no, Kellyanne Conway, there are not any alternate information.

Opposing Trump isDemocrats’ one coverage
Re: “Democrats were on a roll. Why stop now?” (Web page A7, Nov. 12).
I agree with New York Instances columnist Ezra Klein. Though Democrats have few constructive concepts of their very own, exemplified by the unhappy and pathetic efficiency of the Biden administration, they need to be complimented for his or her consistency of coverage.
Previous to Donald Trump being elected the primary time, Democratic coverage was, “Oppose Trump No Matter What The Issue (OTNMWTI).” After he was elected the second time, the coverage was: OTNMWTI. Now, after practically a yr of serving as president, coverage continues: OTNMWTI. And for the rest of his time period, Democratic coverage is prone to be: OTNMWTI.
A few of us, not essentially Republican, contemplate Democratic coverage persistently silly and short-sighted. And with Zohran Mamdami heading up New York Metropolis, it’s probably Democratic (Socialist) coverage will change and be even worse, particularly for the center class and under.

Northern California’s kelp forest protection has decreased by 95%. Kelp forests are a key a part of Californian id, and it might be heartbreaking to lose this facet of nature.
Once I was in elementary faculty, we realized about native geography, and my class did a venture about kelp forests. Every pupil did a venture a few completely different animal, from fish to sea otters, and we made a collective classroom show concerning the numerous ecosystem as a complete. Since then, our kelp forests have been decimated, starting with a 2014 ocean warming occasion.

Santos commutationcomes as no shock
Re: “Santos’ release frustrates ex-colleagues, constituents” (Web page A14, Oct. 19).
I discover the outrage over George Santos’ jail sentence commutation fairly fascinating, with some calling it an assault on the rule of regulation.
Have individuals forgotten Donald Trump’s pardoning of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists who attacked, injured and maimed Capitol Law enforcement officials? He known as them patriots, and it gained’t be in any respect shocking in the event that they find yourself receiving reparations for his or her time spent in jail. That’s an assault on the rule of regulation.
