‘Wee the People’ needed AI supervision
The city of Boynton Beach’s initial attempt at displaying the preamble to the U.S. Constitution began by informing onlookers that, yes, people do indeed urinate. The final approval of this misstep by city staff is disappointing but only further highlights the need for close critical supervision of AI-generated material. Nonetheless, the humor this debacle provided was a most-welcome addition to my day. In fact, I was laughing so hard I could barely type this letter.

Leave the airport renaming at that
Travel + Leisure ranked Palm Beach International Airport as one of the 10 Best U.S. Airports in the World. Days later President Trump declares the airport named after him will be “the greatest and most spectacular airport anywhere.” God help us. Will it be like the concrete White House Rose Garden? The Lego version of the East Wing? Or the Washington Memorial Reflecting Algae Pool? I fear like everything else Trump has touched, our wonderful airport will die. Also, to State Rep. Meg Weinberger, the brainchild of the rebranding, I’ve lived and taught in Palm Beach County since 1986, and purchased my home in 1990. When are you going to rename something after me?

Trump still thinks he’s a winner
It has been reported that tonight (President) Donald Trump is commandeering the networks that he maligns and despises to reveal to the nation that he possesses ― likely invented ― intelligence that foreign persons or countries interfered in the 2020 election that resulted in him being booted out of the White House by the voters. Trump’s insistence that he was the winner in 2020 is tiresome and crystal-clear proof that it is he who suffers from Trump derangement syndrome. It’s more likely than not that if there was any interference by foreign persons, it was on Trump’s behalf, not “Sleepy Joe Biden’s.”

Here’s a suggestion to excite soccer
Tip of the hat to the letter writer who in the July 15 Post called soccer boring. FIFA could cure that with one simple rule change: Do away with the offside rule. Imagine the Magic Johnson Lakers waiting for a defender to get down court before they tried to score on their fast break. American fans would not put up with it.

Democratic socialists reflect extremism
This new breed of candidates winning Democratic primaries is nothing to celebrate. Many of these candidates offer up a dangerous mix of socialism and antipathy to not only the Jewish state of Israel but to Jews themselves. When these new type of Democratic candidates are espousing something other than socialist and anti-Israel rhetoric, they spew seemingly extremist rhetoric, such as abolishing ICE altogether. We need Immigration and Customs Enforcement for our nation’s immigration laws. It’s one thing for people to criticize the way that enforcement has been carried out under the Trump administration. However, abolishing ICE altogether is political extremism at its worst and shouldn’t be normalized.
