Kash Patel FBI, Letters – Latest News
Kash on the money
I agree with Miranda Devine that Kash Patel’s promise to finish the FBI’s weaponization is an monumental problem — one that can not be achieved with out addressing the wrongs completed to whistleblowers and eradicating these chargeable for the abuses (“A new eye on politicized FBI,” March 17).
For too long, the FBI has operated as a rogue entity within our authorities. It sacrificed its integrity by permitting itself for use as a political instrument of the Biden administration.
The FBI should redirect its focus to preventing organized crime, worldwide terrorism, and counter-espionage. But first, Patel should clean home. Never again ought to the FBI operate because the Gestapo of a corrupt administration.

Tesla complications
The marketing campaign of vandalism towards Tesla automobiles have to be one of probably the most pointless and self-defeating in leftist historical past (“Dem Silence = Violence,” Karol Markowicz, March 20).
If you might be a liberal progressive who despises President Trump and needs to punish his supporters whereas additionally claiming to care about inexperienced insurance policies and the surroundings, how does setting electric automobiles on fire help your trigger?
If you actually needed to problem consumerism, you might break the capitalist cycle by merely refusing to buy these automobiles. Instead, by destroying them, you might be solely making certain that more are constructed and offered — feeding the very system you declare to oppose.
The Tesla burnings reveal the hypocrisy of the left. They aren’t pushed by precept, however by an habit to destruction.

Climate warnings
Lee Zeldin, Trump’s hand-picked head of the Environmental Protection Agency, has made it clear that the company’s precedence is no longer defending Americans from air pollution (“EPA rescinds fuelish regs,” March 13).
Instead, its new mission is to intestine rules in order that polluting industries can rake in more income. Zeldin even desires to get rid of the scientific discovering that greenhouse-gas emissions from fossil fuels endanger human health.
But what concerning the rising floods and wildfires pushed by international warming which are already costing lives? Do these not depend?

Puny pardons
To call former President Joe Biden’s so-called “pardons” preemptive is a misnomer (“ ‘Addled’ autopen,” March 15).
The Constitution permits for presidential pardons however doesn’t grant the president the facility to excuse crimes earlier than they’ve even been prosecuted. Trump is pursuing the fallacious argument. These so-called “pardons” aren’t invalid as a result of of a signature — they’re invalid as a result of they lack legal legitimacy.

Measles outbreak
The latest measles outbreak in Texas, now approaching 300 instances, is trigger for concern, as are Gov. Hochul’s warnings concerning the 350 instances reported in Ontario, Canada (“Measles hits 294 in Tex., NM,” March 18).
Given Canada’s accessibility as an entry level into the United States, the place are the epidemiologists monitoring the geographic origins and reservoirs of these illnesses?
If these outbreaks of measles keep worsening, reinstating Title 42 to completely close the borders to international vacationers may develop into a obligatory public-health measure.
