TikTok tyranny
Rikki Schlott is true on the mark once more in her revealing and certainly horrifying description of the evils perpetuated in opposition to our youth by China’s TikTok (“Alternative facts,” PostScript, Feb. 26).
This scenario raises the query: Will we be defeated from inside by exterior forces that may very well be curtailed? Don’t American dad and mom care about their youngsters? Who’s in cost?

Inspiring Scott
What an impressive, straight-forward, heartfelt piece on selecting religion, accountability and patriotism over anger, resentment and pity (“Proof the Left Is Wrong About America,” Tim Scott, PostOpinion, March 1).
Sen. Scott’s non secular basis got here from his household, which is so vital for the event of any younger individual.
Sadly, such help is simply too typically lacking for a lot of youngsters, particularly these coming from damaged houses. When instances are robust, it’s simple guilty others, nevertheless it by no means solves issues.
One must take accountability by admitting an issue exists, establishing a plan of motion to beat the issue after which fulfilling the plan, which might take time and quite a lot of onerous work.
Scott is so proper that we’re the land of alternative, as confirmed by all of the people who find themselves determined to maneuver to the United States.
Opportunity ensures nothing, nevertheless it affords the possibility for folks to make one thing of themselves by means of onerous work and self-discipline. Scott is an distinctive instance.

Japan’s evil deeds
Regarding Abrar Omeish’s feedback that the battle of Iwo Jima “set a document of what human evil is able to,” she ignored Japan’s huge atrocities.
These embody the shock assault on Pearl Harbor and assaults throughout World War II in opposition to China (within the Rape of Nanking), Indonesia, Indo-China, the Philippines and different international locations of their quest for world domination (“Official’s prattle of Iwo Jima,” Feb. 27).
She ignores the truth that Iwo Jima was the one battle of the Marines within the Pacific by which the Marines sustained extra casualties than the Japanese.
As a wounded Marine fight infantryman who served as an 18-year-old in Vietnam in 1968, I recommend that Omeish discover herself one other nation if she doesn’t treasure the advantages of this nation, supplied by the heroics of the United States Marines in opposition to one of many twentieth Century’s most evil empires, Japan.

Cashier assault
My deepest sympathy goes out to Lisbel Rodriguez Luna for having to endure such a vicious assault by a disgruntled buyer and her thuggish daughters (“Bx. grocery beating,” Feb. 28).
Rodriguez Luna was simply doing her job when she forbade the shopper from reducing the road, however she nonetheless suffered a brutal beating as payback. The apple doesn’t fall removed from the tree. All 5 girls are despicable and must be rounded up and thrown behind bars for a really very long time.

Joe’s fentanyl foul
How on earth was this buffoon elected (“Mom rips ‘despicable’ Biden for laughing at blame claim for sons’ fentanyl death,” March 2)?
This clown’s lack of empathy for a grieving mom exhibits what a shame now we have within the White House. This administration and its cupboard are a Saturday Night Live skit.
The distinction between the 2 boys who died and Hunter Biden is that Hunter’s father is a millionaire who received him assist. What a shame. We have a sorry excuse for a president.
