Sound Off for June 11, 2016

Object lesson

The Mike Hubbard House is a perfect example of what money and power can do. Beware of Donald Trump.

No comparison

Yes, Hillary Clinton received $250,000 for speeches. Yes, Donald Duck made millions from Trump U scamming people to max out credit cards, home equity loans and retirement accounts. Yes, there is a difference.

Dependable

Give the L-E an “A” for consistency. Every time the print gets smaller the price gets larger.

Not how it works

People demanding $15 an hour to flip hamburgers don’t understand economics or business practices.

Pariah state

The day after the election of Donald Trump the U.S. will be seen as a rogue superpower with a madman at the helm.

No hero to me

Ali was a draft-dodging coward who sold his country out. American hero? Hardly. From a Vietnam vet's viewpoint.

Want a mulligan?

Oil train details, spills oil, fire emits heavy black smoke, hundreds evacuated, freeway closed. Environmentalists complain about oil transported by trains. They should've mentioned it to Obama before he killed Keystone.

It’s about law

Civilized nations have common sense laws governing immigration, including yearly limits and disqualification of criminals. Hillary hates those laws, while Trump simply wants to enforce the rule of law.
