  • To French President Macron: I have been a fan of the French since the first time I saw Brigitte Bardot and tasted French wine. Of course, Americans are grateful for the financial and moral support your country gave our country during our Revolutionary War.

    If there has been a decline in American-French relations in recent years, France can redeem its reputation: When Donald Trump visits you for Bastille Day celebrations, you keep him there.

    HARRY N. TURK,

    MIAMI

    Note from KBJ: Is that the best you can do, Harry?

  • Here is a video of Scott Adams talking to Tucker Carlson. To this day, I don't know what the "Russians" did in the 2016 election. I keep hearing that they "hacked" the election, that they "interfered" in the election, that they "intervened" in or "undermined" our democracy, and that they "attacked" us. What does that mean? What exactly did they do (or try to do)? And who is "they"? The Russian government? Russian individuals? Russian sympathizers?

    If all "they" did is emit propaganda (i.e., disinformation), then what's the story? Every government, including ours, emits propaganda every day, not only to influence people's votes, but to influence policy. I sincerely hope that most Americans agree with me that there is nothing here except intense frustration (and rage) by leftists that their chosen candidate, Hillary Clinton, lost the election. Their objective is to prevent President Trump from governing. Talk about undermining our democracy!

    Let me end with this: The Internet is a wild and woolly place, populated by thugs, misfits, creeps, and idiots. Nobody will ever control what is said, and by whom, on the Internet. Nobody. Ever. The genie is out of the bottle. Leftists need to realize that even if Russian propaganda influenced people's votes, via "fake news," there is nothing to do about it. It is a fact of life. So either learn to live with propaganda or start emitting propaganda of your own.

  • The light-hearted lead in the anti-California vandalism story ("'Go back to California!' graffiti on car, house stuns new arrivals, highlights old tensions in Portland," July 2) was uncalled for. The house and car of two new residents of Portland were badly damaged. That is not time for joking references to the "terrifying bogeyman" or the "beast that steals jobs" that some people perceive a Californian to be.

    The writer also refers to one of the victim's "long blond locks and easygoing manner of the stereotypical Californian." Yes, out of more than 39 million Californians, that is how we all see a Californian. Maybe in a 1980s sitcom.

    Some background about the history of anti-Californian bias might come well down into the story, but not in the fourth paragraph, as it did in what should be a news story, not a ha-ha feature.
