YOUR OPINION: Cartoons push Democrat agenda

Harold Horstmann, Lohman

Dear Editor:

It seems like the News Tribune's bias in support of the Marxist Democrat party agenda continues by its choice of cartoons. I reference two cartoons published Oct. 3 and one published Oct. 4 on the Opinion page(s).

The first Oct. 3 cartoon infers Trump and morons are responsible for the Florida hurricane. I call your attention to two websites: 'nhc.noaa.gov'; "U.S. Hurricane Strikes by Decade" and 'statista.com'; "Number of hurricanes worldwide from 1990 to 2021". For those with an open mind and not a votary of climate change should access these two websites and learn the truth about the non-effect climate change has on the frequency and severity of hurricanes. Per the NOAA chart: in 1851-1860 there were 19 total and six major hurricanes; the last time there were six major was in 1961-1970 and a total of 14. In 1991-2000, the last decade listed on the chart there were 14 total and five major hurricanes.

The chart "Number of hurricanes worldwide from 1990 to 2021" has the same number of hurricanes in 1990 as in 2018 and a fewer number in every other year on the chart! This confirms the fact that the NT again chooses left wing bias against Trump and fails to consider any legitimate authority that will discredit the climate change hoax!

The second Oct. 3 cartoon compares the SCOTUS Roe vs. Wade decision to Iran's position on abortion. Iran's position on abortion can be reviewed on a Nov. 16, 2021, website 'news.un.org' article: "Iran death penalty threat for abortion unlawful: UN rights experts." Did the SCOTUS make abortion a capital crime like Iran? Is the NT attempting to influence the upcoming election against the Republicans who support the decision? The SCOTUS decision was a Constitution-based decision reverting back to the states' legislatures the responsibility to establish their own abortion standards in support of federalism, which is how our nation was founded.

The Oct 4 cartoon depicting Trump as a dictator and "suggesting possible violence" ignores his Jan. 6, 2021, instruction to the crowd, as does the Jan. 6 kangaroo court, to "Peacefully and Patriotically Make Your Voices Heard" (Jan. 10, 2021; 'americaoutloud.com'). Again a cartoon based on a lie!

Cartoons are a paid commodity and their choice to publish reflects the position of the NT to push a Marxist Democrat party agenda.
