Dear Editor:

 In his column two weeks ago, Moshe Hill offered a novel defense of prominent Republicans, such as Gov. DeSantis, who failed to condemn former President Trump’s meeting with anti-Semites, arguing that they were just avoiding follow-up questions from the media. And then, last week, he defended Marjorie Taylor Greene’s much criticized comments about January 6 by saying they needed to be understood as a joke in the face of media criticism of her. I understand that Mr. Hill views the “mainstream” media as a boogeyman (and maybe, as a hyper-partisan member of the conservative media, he has a unique insight into that), but continually using them as a convenient excuse for all types of questionable behavior seems like a copout.

Dear Editor:

 Admit it. One of your peccadillos (okay, they’re mine) is to try to guess how much your future or present in-law (father, mother, brother, son, daughter, etc.) earns. Cha-ching, cha-ching! Well, New York City to the rescue! Most companies in New York City have to include salary ranges in job postings. Thanks to this rule, we can now save an inordinate amount of time guessing what someone makes.

Dear Editor:

 Last week, I wrote a letter addressing some of the many lies our government officials have told us. Included in those lies was the well-documented fib about the COVID-19 vaccine’s ineffectiveness in preventing infection or stopping transmission. While much ink has been spilled over why our government told this giant whopper of a lie, it’s worth taking a look back at some of our thought leaders’ responses to this lie, both before and after the truth was revealed.

Dear Editor:

 When it came to his post-election analysis, Mr. Kadinsky had a hyper-partisan take that was not based in facts - sort of like his pre-election candidate piece. He says people voted for candidates, not party, but the results show many people just voted for Democrats without any regard for the candidate. But he also has some false statements as well.

Dear Editor:

 I’m glad to see that my friend Rabbi Schonfeld has finally realized the danger Trump poses to the Republican Party and the country.
