Letter from Waldo Johnston

We Must Make America Better

I have been dismayed by the opinions you continue to receive and publish that, in my view, are invariably rants against Trump and his administration that are windy, flawed, irrelevant, and self-serving. I question the purpose they serve.

My entries are designed to be creative and light-hearted so that people will read them. But as you know, each one raises a serious issue which I believe our country needs to address. The one I have enclosed below lacks the usual banter because it is so important. How on earth can we consider returning to pre-Holocaust days when our youth are so antisemitic? What has happened? Are the colleges to blame for swapping education for indoctrination? Are their parents at fault for funding their tuitions?

Whatever the cause, this behavior must be stopped immediately! Coincidentally, I am writing this a day after the murders of two young Israeli staffers in Washington D.C. Is there a connection?

In the meantime, thanks for allowing me to conduct my civic duty by trying to make America better.

It’s tragic that godless Hamas
Are killing Israelis en mass.
But when college kids make excuses
For these ghastly abuses,
They should be banned to remote Alcatraz.
