To the editor:

Yes, Jim Pietrangelo, you are correct. The former president was not found guilty of rape. But he was found guilty of defamation and battery in the form of sexual assault. In New York, the difference is whether penetration happened. If, Mr. Pietrangelo, someone sexually assaulted or raped your mother, wife or daughter, would it really make a difference to you? I know I would have the “knives out” wanting the perpetrator given the full extent of the law.

Donald Trump is now selling bibles. What a hypocrite!

It is pretty easy to dismiss the "90 federal and state" charges against former President Trump, because they are all politically motivated.

It is also easy because the two-tier system of justice is evident. I could go through the list and explain them, but Leftists have no desire to hear the truth and their opinion will never change.

And even if you accepted all of these as proof that Trump is a flawed candidate, we don't have any credible alternative. Trump and Biden have won their parties' nominations and we have a binary choice.

Republicans support Trump because overall he did an excellent job as president and is a far superior leader than Biden. Again, I could go through all the issues both foreign and domestic, but Leftists don't listen and don't care. They are going to stick to Sleepy, Corrupt Joe and those on the Right would be wise to stick with Trump. Our country cannot survive another four years of Biden-Harris and another eight years of Harris thereafter.

How about the double standard that allows the bidens to do far worse and walk away scott free.

Forget the selling off of America to china.

Forget aiding russia in its invasion of a democracy to further communism.

Forget the open border policy destroying our country.

And forget all the other treasonous acts that actually cause harm to American citizens

At least Trump was a man who stood up for America.

Because Jim has joined a cult, no facts penetrate the dear leaders' hypnosis of his minions.
