Crude oil tankers described as bombs (“Oil tankers are bombs on wheels!” March 28): I’ll let someone else point out the flammability difference between crude oil and gasoline, because my head already hurts from trying to comprehend how someone doesn’t notice how gasoline gets to gas stations. People drive cars and trucks, using up to […]

Readers under 45 years old should not continue! You would not understand the information presented here. We have seen the first worldwide demonstration of indoctrination. Students walked out of classes to protest inaction on climate change. College students are free to demonstrate and miss class time. It’s their dime. However, students as young as 13 […]

Sometimes you just have to agree with the accusations that the immigration problems we face are our own fault. In fact the whole damn bunch of us should be sued for providing an “attractive nuisance.” It’s not the fault of the people who drag children to our borders with the hope of falsifying asylum claims […]

During the recent government shutdown, the shortest on record, our national parks have become pigsties. Without government employees picking up after visitors’ refuse, the parks look like downtown LA or San Francisco. Solution: Hand out trash bags so people can cart out what they bring in. In fact, weigh each visitor and their tote bags […]

The “settled science” of the ’70s predicted a coming Ice Age. Of course the lazy press went with the sensational without examination. Time magazine used the same cover with a penguin perched on an iceberg to sell the coming ice age in 1977 and then global warming in 2007. I guess they got a three-for […]

Back in the “olden days,” when your TV started acting up and a couple of good thumps didn’t fix it, you would take off the back cover and pull out the “tubes” (if I’ve lost you, find an old person and ask them, “What is a tube?”). The next step was to go to the […]

I found the review of Michael Moore’s new film (“Thumping Trump,” Sept. 27) very informative and well balanced. I remember Moore from his ’80s film on General Motors. He’s made a lucrative career attacking a free market system. I’m glad that he has focused on our dysfunctional political climate. Politically we are juxtaposed between freedom […]

I must take issue with remarks from the Canary in the Jan. 18 edition of the Sun (“Take it seriously”). I don’t understand how someone who obviously voted for a community organizer with only a little under three years’ experience in politics and campaigned with the vague “hope and change” slogan, has any room to […]

Yes, ITN-squared: “It’s The New Normal.” I love these guys! The “Great California Drought,” ITN2. Had nothing to do with the abandonment of Gov. Pat Brown’s plans for a growing California with more reservoirs and infrastructure programs. Nooo! Global warming is the villain. Historic forest fires destroying homes, closing freeways and rail lines, shutting down […]

I’ve been a reader of the Sun for a number of years. Early on after reading your column I more or less dismissed it over the years. However, one column accusing President Trump of treason got my attention (“Where there’s smoke,” July 13). I intended to respond at the time but then didn’t. Before I […]

Electricity and electronics have always fascinated me. The how and why TV and radio worked started me on the course of my career and hobbies. However, I never really thought I understood a subject unless I could clearly explain it to someone else. In the same manner, climate change, more specifically global warming, piqued my […]

I missed National Library week. It was back in April. Back in April, it wasn’t really important. You know, it’s just about books available to everyone for free. One of our early founders, as it were, came up with the idea. Years later Andrew Carnegie, an immigrant from Scotland, who became a rich capitalist, made […]
