They\u2019re the best of us.\u201d And that he\u2019s \u201calways believed that we have a sacred obligation to equip those we send to war and care for those and their families when they come home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This proves that Biden is disingenuous and lies. He says one thing and quietly does something else that spits in the face of our veterans.<\/p>\n<p>Where are our senators and representatives (other than Rep.

I do not. Our schools do not need to tackle every <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> issue. There was a time when that was a parent\u2019s job, but now it seems the expectation is for schools to engage in topics that were once reserved for the family dinner table.<\/p>\n<p>If parents want to teach their 6-year-old about transgender issues, that is absolutely their right, and no one is trying to s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> that away from the parent. But it is also a parent\u2019s right to want to shield their children from those topics, and it doesn\u2019t make them hateful bigots to insist that we pump the brakes just for a few years before delving into such heavy topics.<\/p>\n<p><em>Michael Kavanagh<\/em><br \/><em>Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Climate reality<br \/><\/strong>Surprisingly, I agree with John Kerry\u2019s comments about the mass migration due to the lack of capacity to produce food (\u201cTone-deaf words on refugees,\u201d March 10).<\/p>\n<p>Our rationale is at odds. If the United States and other countries don\u2019t learn to use fossil fuels in conjunction with \u201cgreener\u201d energy sources until those sources can sustain life and farming, then there will be mass migration, starvation and climate deaths due to cold and extreme heat.<\/p>\n<p>The world is nowhere near ready to go electric.
