Disloyal athletes
Kudos to Rich Lowry for his column on the Winter Olympic athletes (“The Bonds That Bind,” PostOpinion, Feb. 25).
I used to be dissatisfied to look at American “athlebrities” communicate out so prominently in critiquing the United States from their short-term perches abroad.
For occasion, Hunter Hess was one of the more current in a long line of beforehand privileged residents to unhealthy mouth his homeland on the world stage. I used to be astounded that, given the reliance of the Olympic Games on correctly functioning immigration systems of all taking part nations, so many missed this obtrusive incongruity.
For Americans, becoming a member of the Olympic workforce is a privilege, not a proper, as is US citizenship.

Horror king’s TDS
I’ve been a fan of Stephen King for over 50 years — nevertheless, his Trump Derangement Syndrome has began to spoil his newest stuff as he insists on making a low-cost and simplistic political level over writing a stable story (“A Stephen King horror,” Feb. 25)
His newest post about President Trump was particularly unhappy. Saying Trump has by no means had a baby was odd enough, however the half about him not having achieved any “sweat labor” was particularly hypocritical. I could possibly be unsuitable right here, however I don’t bear in mind something about King ever working as a stevedore.
It’s very unhappy to see a hero disintegrate like this.

CUNY hate speech
Hunter College Professor Allyson Friedman’s racist remarks are inexcusable and must be condemned (“Hunter prof benched,” Feb. 27).
However, the place’s the outrage for the far worse hate speech in opposition to Israel and Jewish people that’s grow to be mainstream within the New York City faculty system, faculties and universities? Such speech has led to far worse outcomes than what was mentioned by Prof. Friedman.

Hope for Mexico
We are witnessing President Trump repairing the world, one nation at a time. The information that Mexico has lastly taken on one of its cartels is one thing so many US administrations have tried, however didn’t get achieved (“Killing Cartels,” Elaine Dezenski & Jonathan Earles, PostOpinion, Feb. 24).
Trump has been doing extraordinary issues throughout the globe. Throw a dart and likelihood is you’ll hit a deal already achieved, or within the making, that may regionally advance peace.
After his time period ends, we need Trump to take over the MTA — if he can deal with Mexican cartels, he may need a probability in straightening out the MTA.

Kash’s medal fête
I’m nonetheless laughing at FBI Director Kash Patel having fun with the gold medal win with all of the athletes (“Trocheck: Backlash over D.C. visit is ‘sad,’ ” Feb. 26)
He had a blast and a beer with the fellows. A die-hard hockey fan and participant himself, Patel seemed like one of the fellows. And right here I assumed all politicians have been boring!

Al Green ejected
So, for the second 12 months in a row, Rep. Al Green was ejected from the House during President Trump’s State of the Union tackle, this time for holding up a signal that mentioned “Black people aren’t apes” (“A night full of cheers & jeers,” Feb. 25).
Maybe he ought to ship that message to Gov. Hochul and Gov. Gavin Newsom.
