Impeachment inquiry: Justified or revenge?
Re: “Republicans in House approve impeachment inquiry vs. Biden,” Dec. 14 news story
Influence peddling? You bet. Listen to the whistleblowers. Why does the media continue to protect Hunter and Joe? Whistleblowers shined a light on the different treatment of individuals. Someone should tell Hunter that his father may not be “financially” connected to a company to be a part of that business. There is a shifting story from the DOJ and Biden’s attorney.
Let’s face it. As a senator, vice president and president, the Big Guy has peddled his influence for the benefit of his whole family for years. China? Ukraine? Russia?
If any of this scandal involved the Trumps, you’d better believe that the media would sharpen their claws and gnash their teeth and leap on it like flies on a trash heap. Oh wait, they did that when a false charge was brought against Trump on the Russia hoax.
Forty-eight percent of the public support an impeachment inquiry into Biden, according to a recent poll.

Instead of doing the work of governing, the Republicans in Congress are initiating an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden. They have nothing on which to base this action. This is all about groveling to Donald Trump because he wants revenge for the two impeachments (there should have been three) while he was president. The crucial difference is that Trump was guilty of impeachable offenses and should have been removed from office. The Republicans, who controlled the Senate, were afraid of Trump, so they ignored the evidence and acquitted him.
This action is not only unjustified, but it will waste time in Congress at a time when we don’t have an approved budget for this fiscal year. There are plenty of crucial issues for Congress to address, including the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, the climate crisis, and the U.S./Mexico border. Instead, Congress will waste countless hours pontificating about what a terrible president Joe Biden is without any evidence that he’s committed impeachable crimes.

Is UN doing enough in Mideast?
Uniting peoples and nations is the United Nations‘ charge. That goal is ever less evident today. Stop dithering.

Nuggets language fouling out
Re: “Jokic: ‘Sometimes what I said is not even a technical’,” Dec. 14 sports story
Much has been made of Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic being ejected in the first half of a game earlier this week against the Chicago Bulls. Jokic admitted that what he called the official was over the line but was often accepted by other officials. Many seem to think that it should have simply resulted in Jokic’s first technical call, which does not result in an ejection.
Personally, I think what Jokic said is not acceptable and should consistently, throughout the league, result in an ejection or, at the very least, a technical. However, I also think that in the Nugget’s victory parade last spring, it was very inappropriate for Coach Mike Malone using foul language in an atmosphere with many kids present. Malone still owes the city of Denver an apology.
