Armchair critics

Sun., Feb. 10, 2019

Note to your left-of-center columnist, Shawn Vestal, and City Council politicians: Stop hammering on immigration agents (and the mayor) until you’re willing to step into their shoes and follow federal policy to protect our borders. Maybe engage in a ride-along program instead of delivering your criticism from a safe office perch in the city.

Furthermore, climate problems are also a national issue to be solved by scientists, engineers, technologists and energy leaders lacking hidden political agendas, not Spokane politicos and an opinionated writer trying to bolster their resumes and aspirations.

If anyone thinks the “regressives” on the left are in the know, look the current chaos in Europe, in general, and France, in specific. Their pen borders and increased green taxes certainly haven’t enhanced living standards on that continent, have they?
