Homeless technique isn’t fixing something
I noticed on the Sentinel’s entrance web page a NIMBY article concerning the Kaley Avenue work-release heart (“Orlando wants homeless shelter,” Jan. 26). Homelessness is a humanitarian challenge that doesn’t have a complete plan to repair. The place in Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties are law-enforcement officers taking homeless folks? Are they dropping them on the facet of the street for an additional jurisdiction to deal with? Has anybody assessed whether or not these persons are in a position to get meals, entry to shelter or rehab providers by being deposited out the place God misplaced his shoe?
“Out of sight, out of thoughts” appears to be Ron DeSantis’ thought of a profitable political technique, however it doesn’t remedy something, it simply strikes it. Wouldn’t or not it’s smarter to fund extra beds and applications and switch off the county-funded spigot for the large shuffle?

Unlawful immigrants will be hazard to society
Concerning the letter, “Battle on immigrants has begun” (Jan. 22), it appears unattainable for liberals to make a distinction between authorized, productive, law-abiding immigrants (to whom just about nobody ought to object), and the untold hundreds of unvetted, unlawful immigrants — criminals, terrorists and drug gangs presumably included — who’ve flooded into the nation over the previous 4 years. How lots of the immigrants who’ve entered the nation underneath Joe Biden’s watch would you be prepared to welcome into your private home? Or your neighborhood?
And what concerning the grief and loss skilled by the household of Laken Riley due to her brutal homicide? (Simply certainly one of many potential examples.) Is that each one meaningless as a result of it hasn’t occurred to your loved ones but?
Fortuitously, this baffling woke mindset appears to be more and more out of step with nearly all of the nation.

Embrace Bishop Budde’s message
Bob Sanders’ Jan. 24 letter, “Trump is a Christian by comfort,” tells it like it’s. On Inauguration Day, Bishop Mariann Budde, in church on the Washington Nationwide Cathedral, merely and appropriately recited what the Bible and/or the Savior is reported to have mentioned. In the event that they had been precise followers of Jesus of Nazareth, Trump and the MAGA trustworthy ought to have merely replied by saying “Amen, sister!”

Trump’s first week was horrible
There’s a scene in Joseph Conrad’s “Coronary heart of Darkness” the place the wicked and dying imperialist, Kurtz, unhinged by greed and the enormity of his sins, blurts out, “The horror, the horror.”
I don’t wish to react to each Trump outrage with an identical outburst, however I really feel prefer it. In reality, after lower than every week, it’s already so dangerous that I don’t know the way it’ll worsen. However I’m fairly positive it should.
It appears empathy and expertise are Trump’s enemies. He simply removed DEI staff and applications. He mentioned Joe Biden didn’t pardon himself, and steered going to prosecute him. Since Trump’s Cupboard is crammed with inexperienced unqualified MAGA sycophants, it simply might occur.
Federal staff are shedding their jobs. Governors and mayors might face prosecution in the event that they impede federal deportation efforts. Staff are alleged to snitch on different staff who could also be concerned in variety applications. All of it sounds the way in which my father described communism on the kitchen desk within the Sixties. However this isn’t communism. It’s fascism. For my part, it sounds just like the Nazis.
And it appears like Donald Trump simply opened a door and welcomed all of them again in.
