“The list of Trump’s offenses is long. He panders to racists and prevents sensible immigration reform in a nation built on immigrant labor and intellect. He tweets conspiracy theories. He’s cavalier about COVID-19 and has led poorly through the pandemic. He seeks to dismantle the Affordable Care act without proposing a replacement. He denies climate change.”

While I’m certainly not surprised that the Spokesman-Review (10/25/20) editorial would come out in favor of Trump for president, I’m nevertheless extremely disappointed.

I am deeply disappointed that The Spokesman-Review endorsed Trump for president. That is my political opinion.

Sunday's editorial endorsing Trump was not just disappointing, it was incomprehensible, considering "the long list of Trump offenses", plus the ones not listed - his habitual lying, his refusal to confront Putin about bounties on American soldiers and general sucking up to despots while alienating allies.

I have not been to a Catholic church since the pandemic began, so my wife and I decided to go St Francis Xavier Parish on Oct. 17 at 4 p.m. The readings were on Matthew 22:21: "Jesus said "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's." I know that "Caesar" represented the government during those times so it's like saying "give to government what belongs to government" - a clear separation of church and state.

I have known Dave Wilson for 30 years in a personal and professional capacity, both of which inspire me to speak out in support of his run for the House seat in the 5th Congressional District.
