A hail of hysteria
Each the left and a few Jewish leaders expressed concern in regards to the awkward gesture made by Elon Musk throughout a second of elation (“Nazi fetish”, PostOpinion, Jonathan Turley, January 23).
Critics interpreted the salute as a deliberate depiction of a hateful Nazi gesture. Nonetheless, this response seems to be politically motivated. The left continues to be confused by the ultimate lack of President Trump’s victory and appears able to seize any alternative to undermine an administration centered on finishing up the desire of the individuals. This “salute” controversy seems to be the newest in a sequence of overreactions.
It is a disgrace that the identical degree of scrutiny wasn’t directed on the screaming anti-Semitic mobs that destroyed school campuses and streets only a few months earlier than.

NYPD AWOL
So it turned clear that some NYPD automobiles had their GPS programs turned off (“Losing Track of the Cops”, January 19).
The officers got here and went and nobody is aware of what they have been as much as. That is an unimaginable act of potential criminality by those that anticipate to comply with the regulation.
There are different methods to trace a automobile: Enter the plate within the plate reader community and also you’re finished. Let the subpoenas fly and get all their cellphone information to trace their whereabouts. Disgrace on them.

The place of Adams ICE
Let’s hope Donald Trump has proven Mayor Adams the door after the mayor indicated he will not be capable to assist the feds take away prison immigrants dwelling right here illegally (“Eric: Trump’s ICE Alone in Gotham,” January 19).
All Adams and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch are doing is utilizing a bogus regulation as an excuse to not take motion towards these out-of-control thugs who’ve wreaked havoc on your entire metropolis. President Trump is anxious in regards to the security of the American individuals and can discover a option to clear up the nation. It is time for New Yorkers to kick this mayor out of Gracie Manor.

A big frozen apple
New York is engulfed in a polar vortex, with temperatures dropping into the only digits and wind chill components effectively beneath zero (“Get ready for a frozen apple,” January 20).
Simply think about if the Inexperienced New Deal had their approach, and the town’s residents and companies could not depend on heating oil, pure gasoline, or coal—all fossil fuels that, within the eyes of fanatics, needs to be phased out. In fact, probably the most dependable non-fossil gas, nuclear energy, would even be unavailable, because the “No Nuclear Weapons” crowd efficiently pressured former Governor Andrew Cuomo to pressure the shutdown of the Indian Level plant. The concept solely photo voltaic and wind vitality can present warmth and electrical energy for your entire metropolis is a pipe dream.

Stringer’s imaginative and prescient
Mayoral candidate Scott Stringer desires to rent 3,000 cops to make up for the lack of many officers who’re retiring, leaving or transferring to different police companies (“Stringer: I’d Hire 3K Cops,” January 17).
Good luck New York now has a number of thousand fewer cops than it did years in the past, though Adams lately employed 1,600. Not surprisingly, recruits aren’t flocking to grow to be cops. Beginning wage is roughly $58K in a metropolis with the best taxes and excessive rents. Are you able to blame individuals for not desirous to threat their lives like that?
