Kennedy trolls
I tin lone ideate however President John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy Onassis would beryllium sickened by their foul-mouthed, spoiled brat of a grandson, Jack Schlossberg (“Kennedys’ heir-head,” Feb. 7).
The disgraceful mode helium targets some relatives and outsiders shows conscionable however acold we’ve fallen from the Camelot days.
(Though his parent isn’t precisely blameless either.)
All he’s demonstrating is however desperately helium wants to beryllium relevant.
Perhaps helium should spell backmost and ticker immoderate of his grandfather’s and uncle’s speeches to recognize what they were truly about.
How fortunate we are that helium deleted his societal media.

Chairman Trump
Of each the things that our rampaging president is doing to unalterably and negatively alteration our country, 1 of the astir absurd has to beryllium his takeover of the magnificent Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (“Quitting Kennedy Center,” Feb. 14).
President Trump is simply a antheral who has ne'er demonstrated an appreciation for creation and culture. His involvement lies mostly successful sports, particularly boxing.
How agelong volition it beryllium earlier the venerable instauration is renamed Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts?
Who volition person the once-prestigious Kennedy Center Honors successful the future: Hulk Hogan oregon Mike Tyson, perhaps?

Transplant reality
Refusing to implant a donor bosom successful an unvaccinated diligent is based connected subject (“How Heartless!” Feb. 13).
Recipients of bosom transplants person immunosuppressive drugs to lessen the hazard of organ rejection.
These drugs summation the hazard of infections, including influenza and COVID, which tin beryllium fatal.
What’s genuinely heartless is losing a transplant recipient — and the donated organ — to a preventable illness, portion 3,500 Americans connected the transplant database await the life-sustaining acquisition of a caller heart.

Dim-light decision
It nary longer shocks maine to spot “sane-washing” articles successful galore mainstream newspapers (“Trump to nix Biden restrictions connected water-using appliances, lightbulbs: ‘Common consciousness standards,’ ” Feb. 11).
Why would a header see “common consciousness standards” erstwhile the President Trump is demanding that the United States instrumentality to exertion from the precocious 1800s and aboriginal 1900s?
It seems that Trump’s obsession with an earlier clip is present driving argumentation successful his administration.
LED lights are some energy-saving (up to 80%) and longer-lasting than the outdated exertion of incandescent bulbs.
The mean household tin prevention up to $600 per twelvemonth by utilizing LEDs implicit accepted bulbs.
Using expensive, climate-damaging exertion conscionable truthful an aged antheral tin look younger seems a spot crazy.

Rainbowland
Just erstwhile you thought American authorities couldn’t get immoderate sillier, Rep. Earl “Buddy” Carter is trying to rename Greenland to “Red, White and Blueland.”
(“Going for Greenland,” Feb. 11).
I had to treble cheque the day to marque definite it wasn’t really April 1.
The concern is particularly odd, considering that President Trump has reduced genders to antheral oregon pistillate officially (despite reality) successful an effort to defenestrate the colors of the rainbow.
You’d deliberation that “Red, White, and Blueland” would beryllium excessively flashy for Trump.
