Laptop Wakeup Call
On March 16, the New York Times published an article which admitted that the Hunter Biden laptop revelations were real. Let this sink in. I’m not talking about the salacious trash about Hunter Biden’s perversions. The emails referring to corrupt deals with foreign governments from which Joe Biden benefited are significant, but not the real killer.
Where have Liberals gone?
The Alameda Unified School District (AUSD) Board missed a chance to do something bold for our kids. I’ve attended meetings for several months and met some members.

RNC Affirms Social Issues on Party Platform
The Republican National Committee (GOP) at its February 2022 meeting in Salt Lake City, made clear that Republicans remain firmly in support of traditional, family values.

Regarding “American Fascism on the Rise” (Insight, Jan. 2): I would say that extremism on the right and left is on the march. Both my parents remember Nazism and fascism really well. They heard the bombs falling and saw the destruction. They also were aware of concentration camps as a Jewish family lived in my grandparents’ house.
I grew up about five hours from the East German border. I had the opportunity to visit the Soviet Union in 1976. I saw little children marching in goose step just like in Nazi Germany. I also saw the Berlin Wall that prevented people from leaving the “workers' paradise.”
So, I believe in this Republic. I also believe in a multiparty system. Democrats have the White House, Senate and House. This is one-party rule.
Public safety is often equated with “law and order” and fascism is implied. This is wrong. I used to be able to travel around the Bay Area safely. I now cannot do so alone due to a disability.
