Has Ro Khanna no disgrace? Sen. Dianne Feinstein is affected by a comparatively widespread sickness, that being shingles. He desires her to resign.
Khanna used ageism to take a congressional seat from Mike Honda after Congress-shopping throughout many districts. And now he’s utilizing anger over reproductive rights to strain Feinstein to resign, simply because she has a brief medical situation that impacts many. Who greater than Feinstein has fought for reproductive rights?
I’m embarrassed that this man represents me in Congress and I think about myself a liberal Democrat. Disgrace on him.

Placing Easter op-ed
in paper is fearless
Re: “To present Easter its full due, first confront actuality of demise” (Web page A6, April 7).
Thanks for printing Dr. Tyler Johnson’s considerate and shifting article on the that means of each Easter and demise. Far too many publications are afraid to the touch something that offers with everlasting points and the historic details documenting the resurrection of Christ.
The reality is that in confronting the fact of demise we see that this life is in the end ineffective and meaningless — because the useless physique Dr. Johnson describes — except there may be the equal fact of the life-giving energy of the resurrection accessible to all.
I do my greatest to assist and respect my fellow man as a result of I consider he’s a helpful and everlasting being. That’s what provides every of us price. If we see one another merely as random clumps of developed protoplasm, it’s onerous to care about anybody’s welfare, and that may be a pathetic and hopeless outlook certainly.

Easter op-ed flies
in face of science
Re: “To present Easter its full due, first confront actuality of demise” (Web page A6, April 7).
I write a few full lack of editorial oversight that allowed the above-referenced commentary to be printed in The Mercury Information. It was written by a professor of drugs at Stanford, who presumably has taken physiology programs. He explains what occurs at demise, with the rapid mobile breakdown and the atoms of the physique instantly starting to decay.
After which he continues: “This occurred, too, to Jesus,” After which “Mary … confronted the unimaginable: an actual, entire, regal Jesus-standing … healed and aglow in heavenly splendor. Not useless, not moldering, not coming aside. Alleluia. Alive once more.” The top.
How can such a infantile non secular screed and claptrap be permitted within the pages of Silicon Valley’s main newspaper; and worse underneath the signature of an individual skilled in medical science and working towards at a prestigious medical college?
