No-win Witkoff
Despite the undeniable fact that I’m and at all times might be an avid Trump supporter, I discover myself agreeing with Douglas Murray’s unfavorable opinion of Steve Witkoff ’s weak diplomatic abilities (“Foreign policy failure,” PostOpinion, April 30).
He could also be a excellent real-estate negotiator, however coping with murderous villains who’ve no regard for how many of their residents are killed so as to obtain their objectives is clearly past his pay grade.
In real estate, there’s the revenue motive that Witkoff understands and has experience in, however diplomacy is a completely different ballgame — one by which he’s not succesful of taking part in.
I can’t help questioning why Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the one Cabinet member who obtained the vote of each Senate Democrat during affirmation as a result of of his demonstrated integrity, means and expertise, is just not put in charge of these high-profile negotiations. He has ample expertise coping with these nefarious characters and can know how to negotiate with them.

RIP, Horowitz
After being raised by diehard communist dad and mom, David Horowitz took up the mantle of radicalism, edited Ramparts (a radical magazine that was rooted in communism) and befriended Huey Newton, founder of the Black Panther Party in the Nineteen Seventies (“Conservative commentator dead at 86,” April 30).
Horowitz grew disenchanted with the radical motion and based Heterodoxy, a month-to-month journal combating the folly of the radical left’s political correctness. The objective of Horowitz’s Heterodoxy was to awaken conservatives to how vicious the political left is.
The conservative motion simply misplaced a heavyweight. R.I.P., David Horowitz.

Don’s olive department
Kudos to President Trump for inviting Gov. Gretchen Whitmer onstage to communicate during his speech to the Michigan National Guard (“C’mon up here, Gretch,” April 30).
This exhibits that Republicans and Democrats can work collectively as a result of there are more common-ground points than the excessive wings of both occasion need to admit.
Maybe Congress can take a lesson from this and begin working collectively on behalf of the American people.

Media ‘mistake’
In his White House Correspondents’ Association dinner speech, Axios correspondent Alex Thompson mentioned that “we, myself included, missed a lot of this story” relating to President Joe Biden’s decline (“Fake Remorse,” Glenn Harlan Reynolds, PostOpinion, April 29).
He additional states: “We should have done better.” This was no error. It was not a mistake. It was an intentional miss.
They knew what they have been doing beginning earlier than the 2020 election. The solely remorse of these journalists is that they couldn’t keep this hoax going by Election Day 2024.

Cost of youngsters
President Trump’s current concept to present a $5,000 bonus to dad and mom who’ve a child is method out of contact (“Don’s family values,” April 23).
The price of diapers and daycare is way, a lot than $5,000. The price of clothes and medical care will drive {couples} to restrict how many infants they’ve. The price of a faculty schooling is fast approaching $400,000 per little one.
The $5,000 bonus is not going to even see a couple previous the first 12 months of a child’s life.
