The Problem: Victor Davis Hanson’s column on why different world powers have misplaced confidence within the US.

Victor Davis Hanson offered a transparent, succinct, 10-point listing on the demise of the US’ world standing through the Biden administration, and the way it led to the latest intelligence leak that has everybody shaking their heads in disbelief (“Why they don’t concern us,” PostOpinion, April 15).

We’re shedding floor every day on this planet enviornment, and our authorities doesn’t appear to understand the enormity of this.

America is now not regarded upon for steering and management. We’re embroiled in petty name-calling and partisan division that simply erodes any constructive targets we might have.

I hope our leaders take heed of Hanson’s article and proper our ship earlier than it’s too late. China is ready.

Many due to Hanson for his fact-based reporting on the challenges dealing with America.

There may be definitely Biden-caused chaos in every single place you look.

His impaired cognitive situation plus his doubtless compromised positions with Russia, China, Ukraine, Iran, and so forth. will proceed to feed the chaos Hanson so precisely described.

Why do the Dems, the GOP and unbiased leaders of Congress do little or nothing to cease the Biden-fed chaos?

Hanson listed 10 the reason why our enemies now not concern us. I’m going to listing only one: The person who occupies the White Home is totally ineffective — really, worse than ineffective. He’s harmful.

He was permitted to cover in his basement by the media throughout his marketing campaign for the presidency. That allowed him to cover his rising senility and his lack of any plans and insurance policies for coping with the Russians and the Chinese language. The implications are big and rising, as Hanson factors out.

As our weak and confused president goes to Eire, China threatens us with destruction, expands the navy stress on Taiwan and assaults our greenback because the world’s forex.

The despots have taken the measure of Biden they usually now not concern him.

Hanson is aware of historical past, and his cogent cataloguing of how this completely feckless administration has in simply two quick years turned the US right into a paper tiger must be heeded by each voter on this nation.

Abraham Lincoln’s concern — that we might solely destroy ourselves from inside — sadly appears to be coming to fruition.

The Problem: Steve Cuozzo’s column on the impact of legalized weed on New York Metropolis employees.

It takes a streetwise New Yorker like Steve Cuozzo to level out the slow-motion catastrophe legalized pot has confirmed to be in New York Metropolis (“The baked apple,” April 17).

Whereas the standard of retail service in New York Metropolis has been reducing lately, the introduction of legalized pot has brought on unprecedented injury to the functioning of companies in Manhattan.

The sullen, incompetent, no-eye-contact “service” one receives at retail shops is now at an appalling degree.

One solely has to stroll by “development websites” in Manhattan to see employees puffing away on weed to appreciate how harmful this unreported situation is.

Gerard Rosenthal

Manhattan

Thanks for being courageous sufficient to write down the reality about what pot does to folks, a metropolis and society usually.

I’m 71 years previous and have been strongly anti- marijuana since I used to be 17.

Pot’s legalization is merely giving in to a nasty factor and making a living off of it.
