Obama’s ‘Promised Land’

To the Editor:

The insurrection directed by Donald Trump against the U.S. Capitol has prompted me to begin Barack Obama’s recent memoir, “The Promised Land.”

I look forward to reading of a time when America had a decent, intelligent and honorable president worthy of the respect and admiration of its citizens.

That is my plan for getting through the remaining days of this nightmare presidency. What’s yours?

No one watching the storming of the Capital could miss the “Jesus Saves” sign bobbing up and down as windows were smashed and police…

STAMMEL: Conspiracy Fantasies Must Come To An End

LETTER from ANDREW D. STAMMEL Conspiracy Fantasies Must Come To An End To the Editor: Millions of Americans watched in horror as partisan domestic terrorists stormed the U.S. Capitol last week to prevent the lawful election of Joe Biden. I join in the anger and disgust at the destruction of public property and the desecration of the hallowed citadel of democracy.

But I also angrily denounce the ongoing incitement by the President and allies in the Republican Party as well as their tepid or non-existent denunciations of…
