A recent letter writer blames Republicans for potentially pushing our country into default. He claims that they demand drastic spending.
I see that as a rather ludicrous statement, as it comes on the heels of the Inflation Reduction Act, which packed millions in dubious spending. The Democrats also wasted millions on the so-called Russian election interference conspiracy. That has been proven to be false.
Biden has given in to the radical left and continues to spend, spend, spend. And, of course, everything that has gone wrong with this country in the last two-and-a-half years, the big guy blames on Maga Republicans. Someone please point him towards a mirror and tell him to look into it. He will get a glimpse of a man who is ruining this country.

I’m delighted to see you have added another humor writer.
I laughed out loud at the Containing China column (online, May 2023), which begins with “The Athenian general and historian Thucydides—whose experiences led to the Peloponnesian war between a strong Sparta and a rising Athens—”
Thus making Thucydides a sole figure of unimaginable power and bringing about war between two powerful city-states, a classical precursor to our own George Soros, who managed to convince an entire WORLD of a fake virus, chuckling and twirling his moustaches.
I grinned at “China cares nothing about human rights, which has mass appeal to pariah nations who avoid dealing with Western economies due to ideological differences on the value of every human life.”
Because starving people do often refuse the hand that feeds them unless it meets with their ethical ideals of not having ethical ideals.
I love the satiric SAT-type sentences:
Read the paragraph, then answer the questions: “Underestimating these capabilities and those of our regional allies—given its ambitions for Taiwan—would unleash a decisive tactical advantage we possess across the Pacific designed to confuse, delay, draw and terminate any offensive action”
What is the author saying here?
What is the subject, the verb, the, well, anything?
How does this underestimating “unleash a tactical advantage,” and by whom?
And exactly WHAT is designed to confuse, delay, draw and terminate anything, but the poor befluxed readers?
Please, my sides are aching.
Thank you for the pleasure,

Mr. Henderson claims the Russian election interference conspiracy has been proven to be false. That is not true. Multiple investigations by US intelligence and the Republican led US Senate (which published a written report, easily found by searching "senate confirm Russian interference 2016 election") concluded just the opposite:
"The [Senate] committee spent more than three years...investigating Russia's interference...in the 2016 election. They reviewed more than a million documents, documents that were provided by U.S. spy agencies as well as documents that were provided by witnesses. They also interviewed witnesses - hundreds of them, including a lot of familiar names - Donald Trump Jr., former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort but also former Obama administration officials.
[T]he committee concludes that Russia conducted a sophisticated and aggressive campaign to influence the U.S. election to help Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton and that folks on Team Trump were more than happy to accept help from the Russians. But what's really important about that conclusion is that it is a bipartisan one. It is endorsed by both Democrats and Republicans."
