To the editor: I'll expand on one point made by Ron Isaac in his superb Aug. 29 column, "Big blue comeback, or thinning blue line?" that college credits don't equate with how well you can do a job. My father was a college dropout who went from...
To the editor: A quick Google search does not show the Second Amendment as simply pertaining to the militia ("The mass shooting merry-go-round,” Letters, The Chief, Sept. 5). While admittedly lacking details, the search reveals the Second...
To the editor: As dangerous as our anti-vax Secretary of Health and Human Services, RFK Jr, is to all Americans, especially young children, he is an interesting case for a psychiatric detective. Without medical evidence, he...
To the editor: The city has announced a new health plan for active city employees, pre-Medicare retirees and their dependents. A joint proposal from EmblemHealth and United Healthcare was selected, subject to ratification by the Municipal Labor...
To the editor: Thank you, Ben August, for your moral clarity (“Publisher’s note: On Gaza,” The Chief, Aug. 28). In this dark moment, working New Yorkers — alongside the journalists who keep us informed — must dust off our moral compass and chart...
To the editor: Another day, another mass shooting — literally. The senseless shooting in Minneapolis’ Annunciation Catholic Church on Aug. 27 was the 280th in the U.S. this year. Most mass shootings don’t receive the national attention this one...
To the editor: If the consequences of President Donald Trump's policies were not so serious, his statement that he might get to heaven if he brings peace to Ukraine would be laughable. As if God would forgive all his numerous evil...
To the editor: When will the ongoing genocide in Sudan finally come to an end? Amidst the ongoing debate regarding allegations of genocide in Gaza, another country where all sides in the United States appear to concur that a genocide is underway...
To the editor: Zohran Mamdani has certainly taken some positions that raise serious questions. But when Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says Mamdani has to appeal to a broader electorate, that can bring a response of "Look who's...
On a recent episode of his podcast, Mother of All Talk Shows (MOATS), George Galloway noted how few major celebrities have spoken against the genocide in Gaza. He’s right — and the silence is telling. For years, I’ve marveled at how selfish many of us are, especially those with leisure...
To the editor: There is a large segment of the NYC population — 71 percent — that wants to see the horse-carriage trade come to an end. We are not “extremists,” so enough with the name-calling. Although many people have experienced job...
To the editor: Besides transporting patients in ambulances, most New Yorkers don't see much of what the FDNY Emergency Medical Services does as a uniformed first responder service. That's because it's a medical trade and has its privacy...
To the editor: Zohran Mamdani, Bernie Sanders and Upton Sinclair have certain things in common. All three have described themselves democratic socialists, whom the Democratic Party establishment has historically not welcomed. One reason is that...
To the editor: It’s been suggested that Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris were weak candidates and poor campaigners. I don’t disagree. While not the best the Democrats could have offered, both were head-and–shoulders above the man who beat them —...
To the editor: I agree with a recent letter writer: Trump is prohibited from taxing exports and is usurping authority ("Pay to Play Presidency,” The Chief, Aug. 22). However ... A quick Google search reveals legal/ethics watchdogs are divided on...
In my opinion, there are only two agreements possible concerning the war between Russia and Ukraine: Russia agrees to pull out from the areas they occupy and Ukraine agrees not to seek NATO membership or Ukraine concedes the present occupied...
To the editor: In the Sunday Times’ opinion section, I stumbled upon an article that sparked a deep and thought-provoking contemplation. The article commemorated the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings that marked the end of World War...
To the editor: Reportedly, President Donald Trump contacted Andrew Cuomo to offer his support for the former governor in the upcoming NYC race for mayor. Trump has said publicly that Zorhan Mamdani’s election would be a disaster for the city and...
To the editor: Some are urging “a stop Mamdani” movement. While there are serious concerns about the mayoral candidate, the same can be said about Andrew Cuomo. As governor, Cuomo used the threat of layoffs to get poverty-salaried state workers to accept...
To the editor: Article II of the U.S. Constitution begins, “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.” Donald Trump apparently interprets Article II to read “The extortionist Power.” Trump has exercised...
To the editor: Allow me to respond to online comments about my letter, “Misplaced Missives,” from earlier this month (The Chief, Aug. 15). The New York Times in 2016 wrote about families not gathering for Thanksgiving or not discussing the...
To the editor: It would seem to be common sense that any country would have a postal service. Certainly a country that wastes so much money on "defense" that its military budget is close to $1 trillion could afford to subsidize something as...
To the editor: The Chief has commendably covered the Municipal Labor Committee and City’s attempt to lower healthcare costs by forcing retirees into a Medicare Advantage plan. The city has a second strategy — onerous copays imposed on retirees....
To the editor: Hamas’s attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and Israel’s nearly two-year conflict in Gaza since then have not only disrupted the region but also had global implications. In the United States, the rise in antisemitic incidents has...
To the editor: A recent letter writer did not respond to my argument on "offensive" team names and instead calls the subject matter "sad” ("The Real Distraction," The Chief, Aug. 8). His right, of course. Regarding Donald Trump's association...
