AOC’s possible 2028 run and more: Letters – Latest News
Good luck, AOC
It’s fairly a selection whether or not Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez runs for president or Senate (“AO-wait-and-see,” Sept. 21).
She has confused economists John Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman, obfuscates Hamas terrorists with protesters and was baffled by a query in regards to the protection of Taiwan on the Munich Security Conference.
Otherwise, she appears to give attention to prancing round with Sen. Bernie “Three Homes” Sanders and the odious Hasan Piker.
I want her properly together with her post-2028 profession . . . within the non-public sector. It will probably function a profitable lecture circuit, a best-selling guide and seasons of Met Galas the place she will be able to bash Israel’s proper to exist whereas “abhorring” antisemitism.

Mugged by actuality
Rich Lowry quotes a well-known line as: “A neo-conservative is a liberal mugged by reality”; that’s unsuitable (“Ideology Before Kids,” PostOpinion, Sept. 22).
“Mugged by reality” is foolish.
The actual saying is, “A conservative is a liberal that just got mugged” — meant actually.

Absentee dad and mom
Why does The Post persistently lambast academics for the low studying and math scores of our youngsters (“Power Players,” Ken Girardin, PostOpinion, Sept. 21)?
Why is firing academics and selling constitution faculties the one resolution? Why by no means talk about absentee dad and mom who fail to oversee their youngsters or help them with homework?
What The Post additional fails to level out is that constitution faculties cherry-pick the best college students, and that the persistent absence of college students is an challenge that employees can’t control.
Volumes of analysis have truly proven that folks are more important in youngsters’ educational development than academics. Where are the dad and mom?

More immigration
Now that we’ve practically halted immigration, the United States goes down the drain (“Don-backed GOPer rips him on immigs,” Sept. 19).
Immigrants based hundreds of US corporations and youngsters of immigrants head hundreds more; the United States will see its world place decline with out more immigration.
Current dangerous immigration practices should stop. The best and brightest around the globe (who admire America) know who they’re and should be vetted and introduced in legally.

Save the chickens
Over 200 chickens have been present in horrendous situations — many of them lifeless — after a Kaporos ritual that left the streets of Brooklyn stained with blood, feces, urine and different elements of lifeless birds (“B’klyn chicken horror discovery,” Sept. 20).
What’s more unbelievable is that people nonetheless take part on this dark-age ceremony that leaves lifeless chickens on the streets — and that New York City permits it.

Cheer for Alonso
It’s going too far to criticize any Mets fan for cheering on Pete Alonso after his three hundredth home run (“Care bear,” Sept. 15).
It was his homecoming. The Mets wouldn’t give Alonso the five-year contract which I feel he was properly value, and the Orioles did.
The Mets operations employees disrespected him with that short contract, but he continues to behave professionally. And it’s not like he joined the despised division rivals Braves or Phillies.
