Letters to the editor: Trump bringing US down; fair must factor in outbreak
Country is on downward spiral
Since Trump was sworn in, our country has begun our downward spiral.
People are fearful of ICE, the price of eggs, etc., have not come down yet as promised.
He blames everyone else for anything that goes wrong, without any basis to back up his words.
He blames the recent airline crashes on DEI hiring, when in fact that had nothing to do with it. Inflation last year was at 2.5%, it is already at 2.9% and will surely rise even more as his tariffs begin to take effect.
His imperialistic tendencies are going to put American military in harm's way for no reason but to stroke his own ego.
He thinks that everyone should bow to his will, and do whatever he says, and if they don't, they will be outcasts. Anyone hired must swear loyalty to him, not the Constitution.
If we look back in history, we will find other dictators who acted in the same way. If he goes unchecked, we can kiss our beloved democracy goodbye. Just remember what I think is his most telling line: 'I love the poorly educated.' I worry for my kids and grandkids for the world they are coming into.

Fair must adjust with outbreak
I love the Ventura County Fair as much as anyone, but is it really a good idea to bring animals from all over the county and from outside our county to mingle with other animals and with people during the H5N1 outbreak? There are county and state fairs all over the U.S. this summer, and many of the vendors go from fair to fair (including bringing the camel and the bulls).
I know the Fairgrounds relies on the fair for its finances, but I believe that we need to rethink holding the rodeo and animal displays.
Kathy Wertheim, Ventura
Frightening parallels to regime
The parallels to some of Trump's administration's actions and the Nazi regime are frightening. I just hope that our democracy and the American people can stand up to this before too much damage is done.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper caught on hot mic during Trump/Putin coverage: 'Give me my show'
CNN anchor Jake Tapper was caught on a hot mic during the network's special Aug. 15 coverage of President Donald Trump's summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Tapper, who usually hosts his two-hour program "The Lead" from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. EST from Washington, D.C., was live Friday in Alaska, when his colleague Anderson Cooper attempted to throw it back to him. "I'm fine, just give me my show back," Tapper said, seemingly expressing his frustration while failing to realize he was live. The hot mic moment was shared on X by conservative NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck. A smiling Cooper then quipped, "Show's back!" 'Allison Cooper': Trump calls CNN anchor Anderson Cooper 'Allison' in rant After the awkward exchange, Tapper welcomed Sen. Adam Schiff to the show, but the California Democrat couldn't hear the CNN host. "I think I lost you," Schiff said. Tapper then told the audience that "we're having real comms problems today. I'm sorry about that. If anybody can hear me, let's go throw it back to New York." At that point, Cooper again took over, saying "Okay, Jake, thanks very much." USA TODAY reached out to reps for Cooper, Tapper and CNN for comment. At the Alaska summit, Trump and Putin failed to achieve a major breakthrough in peace negotiations over Russia's war against Ukraine. Tapper occasionally becomes frustrated during on-air coverage. In 2020, Tapper played Lara Trump's remarks at a "Women for Trump" 2020 campaign event about former President Joe Biden during her interview on "State of the Union." "Every time he comes on stage and they turn to him, I'm like: 'Joe, can you get it out. Let's get the words out,'" Trump said. Tapper then asked, "How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that?" Trump then responded that she did not know Biden had a stutter, which was a well-documented disability of the then-presidential candidate. "I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden, Jake, is very clearly a cognitive decline. That's what I'm referring to," Trump said. Tapper then shut down the interview, telling Trump that she had "absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline." In May, Tapper revealed that he had apologized to Trump about the incident. That same month, Tapper and co-author Alex Thompson of Axios released a controversial book "Original Sin" that explored the physical and cognitive decline of Biden during his presidency. The book received significant backlash from certain liberal and center corners of the political spectrum. Contributing: James Powel

Put pressure on Putin, Mr. President — it's the only way to end this war
President Trump said he wanted to meet Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to 'see what he has in mind.' 'Probably in the first two minutes,' he added, 'I'll know exactly whether or not a deal can get done.' Mr. President, you have your answer: Putin doesn't want peace, he simply wants conquest. Putin put on his best fake smile, waved for the cameras, then ominously pointed out how many parts of Alaska have Russian names. He rejected a ceasefire, and instead demanded long negotiations for a comprehensive treaty. This is the dictionary definition of 'tapping along.' While he says he wants more talks and ridiculously floats 'next time in Moscow' — an invitation to be dismissed out of hand — his bombardment of Ukraine continues. You're right, Mr. President, that the killing must end, and Alaska showed that the only way to do that is to squeeze Putin. Mr. President, you have your answer: Putin doesn't want peace, he simply wants conquest. AFP via Getty Images Trump said that he would not sanction Russia further after the summit. But he should increase sanctions on Russia immediately — particularly secondary sanctions on oil and other goods that are keeping Putin's war machine afloat. The president should make clear arms supplies will continue, particularly now that Europe is footing the bill, and our military industry is benefiting. Putin did not move on his demands. He must be forced to move — with cash and steel. Tariffs. Weapons. Strong security guarantees for Ukraine. Pressure is the only language Putin understands. According to reports, Putin said that 'if he wanted' he could take all the land he's fighting for in Ukraine. What lies. He's been battling over this territory for three years, and if he really had that kind of advantage, why would he be pushing for a 'land swap' that pole vaults him to the other side of the Ukrainian front lines? He's pretending his victory is a fait accompli, when the reality is he is, at best, grinding along at a pace that would take years for him to complete his 'special operation.' We cannot afford to wash our hands of Ukraine, even if it is true that it is 'Biden's War' and it would never have started during a Trump presidency. First, your voters believe in the fight — 51% of Republicans believe we should be supplying more arms and military support to Ukraine (up from 30% six months ago), and 84% of GOP voters have an unfavorable view of Putin. Second, while we understand you envision Russia as a strategic partner, a weakened Russia benefits your world vision. Consider what has happened already. Iran is providing drones to Russia, yet when you bombed Tehran's nuclear facilities, Putin could provide his ally no help. He has alienated Azerbaijan, and you were able to step up and negotiate a peace deal between that country and Armenia. Putin has less resources to put into the Arctic. Some advisers say this is a distraction from the real enemy, China. But standing up for Ukraine, showing strength for our allies, sends a message to Beijing. There is also a widening rift between China and Russia as Putin's moves become more destructive. In Alaska, Putin again floated the blackmail of nuclear war, the 'point of no return' as he said. President Xi already has bristled at such rhetoric, saying that China 'opposes . . . the threat to use nuclear weapons.' China should make it clear that it is still unacceptable. By rejecting a ceasefire, Putin wants to push a bad deal at the point of a gun. We fall for his flattery, his bluster and his threats at our peril.

Blumenthal says Putin spent summit ‘delaying' Trump peace negotiations, reups call for sanctions
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said he thinks President Trump was manipulated at the Friday Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. 'Putin doesn't want a deal. He doesn't want peace. And the only way to convince him to stop this diplomatic rope-a-dope, playing the President, delaying any kind of ceasefire, is through strength,' Blumenthal said during a Friday appearance on CNN's 'AC360.' 'Providing [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky and Ukraine the kind of military arms they need, the interceptors for their patriot systems and more of them, the missiles they need, the long-range artillery, and scorching sanctions in the Graham-Blumenthal bill now on the floor,' he added, referencing his sanctions bill with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) Trump said Friday's bilateral meeting was 'productive' but said before any agreement is determined, peace points must be sorted out. Zelensky is also slated to visit the White House on Monday. Still, both Russia and Ukraine have pressed ahead with fatal strikes. On Thursday, Ukraine launched a drone attack on southern portions of Russia while the Kremlin overtook front lines in the eastern Donetsk region earlier this week. Blumenthal, who met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in May, said his 'stomach turned' when Trump referred to Putin as a friend on Friday. 'Nothing came out of this summit. It was a nothing burger. It was a shrug of the shoulders. But I will tell you, Anderson, my stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend,' Blumenthal told anchor Anderson Cooper. 'Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. He has directed soldiers to kill women and children and bury them in mass graves. He's kidnapping children as we speak,' the Connecticut Democrat said. Blumenthal introduced a bipartisan measure with Graham to punish Russia's trading partners, including China, Brazil and India for purchasing oil from Putin. The president has held off on financial rebukes on Russia, but did increase tariffs on India amid the turmoil in Eastern Europe. Meanwhile, Graham on Friday predicted that the war will end before Christmas if Trump and Putin meet with Zelensky. 'If in fact there is a trilateral meeting between President Trump, President Zelensky and Putin, then I am cautiously optimistic that this war will end well before Christmas,' the South Carolina Republican said.
