In his “I Have a Dream” speech, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said he hoped his children “will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
Dr. King was referring to the core ethical values of honesty and integrity, respecting others, taking responsibility for one’s actions, being fair and just, and being someone who promotes love and compassions in others.
When someone tells me that Trump is their guy and they abide by the quality of his character, the “delete” key is my friend.
Go, Kamala Harris! It’s a matter of quality of character and character of quality.

About Project 2025
This election is about resources and money.
Project 2025 is about money. The U.S. is on an unsustainable spending spree. For decades, we have combined tax cuts with spending increases. Project 2025 intends to cut spending so that tax increases do not impact the wealthy and assures that the rich can accumulate even more wealth. The working class ignores this at their peril.
MAGA Republicans want white, working-class America to ignore this money grab through a campaign filled with fear, hate and demonization of minorities. Many have been successfully subverted by these tactics and don’t see the threat to the preservation of our way of life.
Reducing spending will do nothing but further degrade infrastructure, regulation, foreign aid and all aspects of a social safety net will be targeted. The middle class will be sicker due to increased pollution and reduction in workplace and food safety. They will be more impacted by weather, and affordable health care will be more elusive. The wealthy will avoid problems of the coming decay of norms with their money.
This is all being directed by wealthy white men. The MAGA GOP and Donald Trump are just tools to achieve their agenda. Vote accordingly.

Time to move on Medicaid
Self-righteous, anti-abortion Florida politicians who bleat their concern about “precious unborn children” don’t seem to have a problem risking death or disability for thousands of such nascent offspring by failing to expand Medicaid to cover prenatal care.
At the same time, a lack of access to adequate pediatric health care continues to degrade the well-being of actual living children in this state.
I asked God about this hypocrisy and He said that He didn’t like it. It’s your move, Florida legislators.

Pro-Trump on Saturday
You published some anti-Biden, pro-Trump letters to the editor in Saturday’s newspaper.
You crammed as many letters as you could fit into one day. You checked the box and perhaps convinced yourself that your reporting is balanced.
You guys are well aware that readership is way lower on Saturdays than other days. What a joke.

(Editor’s Note: With the exception of Sundays and Wednesdays, which have a subscription special for those days only, Saturday is the Sun Sentinel’s highest circulation day of the week.)
Country above ego
Thank you, President Joe Biden, for putting our country first — above your ego.
Everyone knows how difficult this decision was for Biden to make. But history will reflect back on this as the most selfless act made by a true American hero. May he be blessed forever.
