Blatant fanaticism
I want to congratulate Isaac Schorr for his recent article on how Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens have tried to justify the rise of anti-Semitism (“Shameful Nods to Anti-Semitism,” PostOpinion, November 17).
I don’t think this should surprise anyone because Owens and Carlson have a history of making hateful comments.
For example, both have tried to justify Russian President Vladimir Putin’s genocidal war against Ukraine, and both have made excuses for the January 6 terrorists.
Additionally, Owens attempted to justify Derek Chauvin’s racist murder of George Floyd by pointing out Floyd’s criminal record, and Carlson once made a homophobic comment about Pete Buttigieg and her husband “breastfeeding” the twins they adopted. They are not conservatives, they are reactionaries.

medium rare
Politicians love to pay lip service to animal welfare, yet very few hold the position that would most help alleviate the suffering of our fellow human beings (“Italy becomes the first country in the world to ban meat grown in the laboratory”, November 19, 2015). 18).
That would be supporting increased public funding for cultured meat research. Cultured meat is obtained from livestock cells, without slaughter.
Although the protein is currently sold in a handful of restaurants, it is prohibitively expensive to produce on a large scale. Greater government support for the development of cellular agriculture will help rectify this situation.
Compassionate politicians, especially those working at the national level, should support efforts to abandon livestock farming.

Clean the swamp
Columnist extraordinaire James Bovard provided the most concise explanation of the rise of former President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement (“Then Follow the Money!”, Nov. 21).
Additionally, in the article, a former Hunter Biden associate is quoted as saying that Biden’s business dealings were “completely normal.”
Let that be the historical epitaph of the fetid swamp that will devour our nation next year.

Energy truths
The Public Service Commission has approved billions for projects without sufficiently examining the facts, which I believe would expose renewable energy as inefficient, technically flawed, and more expensive than conventional energy (“‘Electric heat’ mandates are another green road to the ruin of New York”, Editorial, November 19). There are billions of dollars at stake.
The governor is providing funding to developers, who will build these renewable energy projects with taxpayer money.
The legal and economic models of the St. Lawrence and Niagara energy projects need to be reviewed to maintain energy sanity in New York State.

freudian jokes
New York has elected some real beauties to Congress. Rep. Dan Goldman said former President Donald Trump needed to be “eliminated” (“Eliminate is not the best word,” Victor Nava, Nov. 21).
Was Goldman suggesting the assassination of a former president? This seemed to be so, but Goldman later said that he had used the wrong term.
What if what Goldman really meant was murder? Will he face consequences? Will the FBI investigate and check his phone records?
Freudian slips can be very revealing.
