State shouldn’t power
bidirectional EVs
Re: “State ought to require EVs to energy houses, companies” (Web page A6, June 14).
Now that state Sen. Nancy Skinner and the politicians in Sacramento have given us in regards to the highest costs within the nation for insufficient and unreliable electrical energy, she needs to jack up the worth of EVs to make up for the state’s crummy electrical system.
She fails to say the massive value to switch constructing wiring to do that, and that an EV can’t energy an entire home with out draining the EV. This may solely make sense for a tiny handful of comparatively rich individuals.
Reasonably than politicians dictating how you can construct EVs, let EV producers determine if there’s sufficient demand to warrant bidirectional charging on each automobile and if not, then those that need it could pay for the choice.
And the reply to Skinner’s flimsy excuses for our unreliable grid is to repair the grid, not power individuals to pay for one thing they don’t want and can by no means use.

Convicted rioter reveals
grip Trump nonetheless has
Re: “Man who shocked officer will get 12 years in jail” (Web page A4, June 22).
Daniel Rodriguez, a rioter who shocked Washington, D.C., police officer Michael Fanone within the neck with a Taser in the course of the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, was sentenced to 12 years and seven months for conspiracy, assault with a lethal weapon and obstruction of an official continuing. As he exited the courtroom, Rodriguez shouted “Trump received.” He’s one more unhappy instance of a chump for Trump who finally ends up beneath the bus whereas Donald Trump continues to be at giant.
I can simply see the marketing campaign hats if Trump manages to run once more: “Chump for Trump 2024.”

Hunter Biden didn’t
get ‘sweetheart deal’
Kevin McCarthy is asking Hunter Biden’s decision to his authorized issues a “sweetheart” deal. McCarthy believes Hunter is getting particular therapy as a result of he’s the president’s son. Nonetheless, there’s a distinction between his deal and the authorized pounding that Trump is taking. Hunter admitted wrongdoing and agreed to a deal to remain out of jail. Trump has not and can’t admit he has carried out something mistaken, so has nothing to apologize for. Trump needs to be thought of the sufferer, to get sympathy — and donations.
Trump has been charged with many severe crimes due to his personal greed and insatiable want for energy. He believes he has carried out no mistaken; that he can’t be mistaken. Trump clearly doesn’t know the distinction between proper and mistaken. This can be a harmful stance for somebody who needs to regulate the nation.

Let jury have say earlier than
speak of Trump pardon
Re: “The most effective transfer for Biden could be giving Donald Trump pardon” (Web page 12, June 18).
Marc Thiessen’s case that Donald Trump must be pardoned to heal the nation is like making a case to interrupt the dam to forestall flooding downstream.
Trump is the best divider this nation has ever recognized. He was instrumental within the Jan. 6 rebel. He assaults the judges and the judicial system nonstop and nearly each day. He’s inciting violence in his talks with none hesitation. He might have returned the paperwork he saved illegally, and the case would have closed with none concern. As an alternative, he used his pulpit to combat the system and declare innocence when he’s completely responsible.
Now it’s time to pay the penalty if a jury agrees. Mr. Thiessen has cleverly used all of the Republican speaking factors. Allow us to depart it to the jury to determine first earlier than making a case to pardon him.

DeSaulnier should signal
on to invoice concentrating on TB
We actually respect our Congressman, Mark DeSaulnier. He should be one of many busiest and most devoted of all our representatives, usually internet hosting one or two city halls per week right here in Contra Costa County.
He’s very approachable to requests from us as constituents, particularly in terms of serving to individuals in want.
Personally, I’m all for international poverty points in addition to native ones, and, he has, up to now, supported each home and international poverty points once they come up in Congress.
That’s the reason I’m questioning if there’s a purpose why he has not signed onto the Finish TB Now Act, H.R.1776, which was launched within the present Congress final March, though a few of us right here who’re very on this concern have personally gone to his workplace with the request that he accomplish that.
