Kash Patel: Correspondence with the FBI
Kash on the money
I concur with Miranda Devine that Kash Patel’s commitment to put an end to the FBI’s misuse is an immense challenge — one that requires addressing the injustices faced by whistleblowers and ousting those accountable for the transgressions (“A new eye on politicized FBI,” March 17).
For far too long, the FBI has acted as a rogue organization within our government, sacrificing its integrity by operating as a political instrument of the Biden administration.
The FBI must refocus its efforts on combating organized crime, international terrorism, and counter-espionage. However, first, Patel needs to cleanse the agency. The FBI should never again act as the Gestapo for a corrupt administration.

Tesla troubles
The ongoing vandalism against Tesla vehicles must be among the most senseless and counterproductive actions in leftist history (“Dem Silence = Violence,” Karol Markowicz, March 20).
If you identify as a liberal progressive who despises President Trump and seeks to penalize his supporters while claiming to care about green initiatives and the environment, how does setting electric cars ablaze further your agenda?
If your aim is to challenge consumerism, you could disrupt the capitalist cycle by simply refusing to purchase these vehicles. Instead, by destroying them, you are merely ensuring that more are produced and sold — thereby perpetuating the very system you claim to oppose.
The destruction of Teslas highlights the left’s hypocrisy. Their actions are not driven by principle but rather an obsession with chaos.

Climate concerns
Lee Zeldin, appointed by Trump as the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, has made it evident that the agency’s main priority is no longer safeguarding Americans from pollution (“EPA rescinds fuelish regs,” March 13).
Its new mission seems to be to dismantle regulations, allowing polluting industries to reap greater profits. Zeldin even aims to revoke the scientific consensus that fossil fuel emissions pose risks to human health.
Yet, what are we to say about the increasing frequency of floods and wildfires driven by climate change that are already costing lives? Do those consequences hold no weight?

Questionable pardons
Describing former President Joe Biden’s so-called “pardons” as preemptive is misleading (“ ‘Addled’ autopen,” March 15).
The Constitution grants the president the authority to issue pardons, but it does not empower the president to exonerate crimes that have not yet been prosecuted. Trump is pursuing the incorrect argument. These so-called “pardons” are not rendered void due to a signature — they are invalid because they lack any legal validity.

Measles concerns
The recent measles outbreak in Texas, which has now approached 300 cases, is troubling, as are Governor Hochul’s warnings about the 350 cases reported in Ontario, Canada (“Measles hits 294 in Tex., NM,” March 18).
Considering Canada’s accessibility into the United States, where are the epidemiologists monitoring the geographic origins and reservoirs of these diseases?
If these measles outbreaks continue to escalate, reinstating Title 42 to fully restrict foreign travelers could become a vital public health measure.
