Walz the fraud

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has no shame — he previously called allegations of fraud “white supremacy,” but now he claims that he was behind the efforts to root out fraud (“JD trashes Walz boast,” April 30).

On X he said, “If you commit fraud in Minnesota you’re going to get caught. We catch criminals when state and federal agencies share information.” The second part of that statement is laughable.

Walz’s term as governor is ending soon, but not soon enough.

Obama’s latest lies

Former President Barack Obama used to be able to spin with the best. Now his ill-informed divisive pontificating on the issues of the day are on display for the masses (“O’s latest in a legacy of lies,” Isaac Schorr, April 29).

The would-be assassins’ intentions as to why he wanted to take President Trump out at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner were well known, yet Obama would spin it otherwise. One has to ask: why?

Voter setbacks

The Supreme Court on Wednesday reversed hard-won progress under the Voting Rights Act (“Ruling’s a big win for GOP,” April 30).

But this is not the time to be demoralized. We can mobilize around reform and, where necessary, constitutional amendments for fairer government.

Only then can we feel the benefits of a balanced Supreme Court, a truly representative Congress and an election system free from the distorting power of extreme corporate and partisan manipulation.

‘Rich’ tax inanity

Mayor Mamdani complains that loopholes let the rich keep their money (“Zo asks to push budget deadline,” April 28).

It’s as if he thinks the money belongs to him, and the rich are being tricky by keeping it. The money belongs to the taxpayer who earned it.

The government is only supposed to take a portion for the common good. Unfortunately, billions more are spent and constantly requested.

First, the city needs to drop the ugly envy approach, then very seriously look at cuts in spending before the sweet mayor drives the rich out of town. Ghost towns do not rake in taxes.

Canal St. gripes

Your article about illegal vendors on Canal Street was appreciated (“Knockoffs are baaag!” April 27).

I and many other business owners in the area are frustrated beyond words at this destruction of our community.

Enabling this illegal phenomenon destroys the businesses and jobs of legitimate businesses that cannot operate on Canal Street. Those businesses employ people, pay them legal wages, pay the city sales tax and are complying with laws.

Canal Street has historically been an economically vital, culturally diverse avenue. Today, it is just a haven for crime with vacant stores.

Fauci’s fault

Why is the Justice Department bothering to indict a Fauci-flunky named David Morens (“ ‘Lying’ Anthony charges deadline,” April 29)?

Dr. Anthony Fauci is the one who needs to be brought to justice. He and teachers-union chief Randi Weingarten did more harm to our children during COVID than anyone else.
