Readers sound off on Trump’s cheerleaders, Biden’s granddaughter and work permits

Las Vegas: Every day for years now, both Rudy Giuliani and Curtis Sliwa have railed against “criminals” and “illegals” on the most powerful talk radio station in America, NYC-based WABC. Sliwa has called Rudy his “goombata cheech” and followed him around Republican circles like a lap dog.

Well, now that it looks like Giuliani may be facing life in prison or becoming a rat against Donald Trump, Sliwa has stopped talking about Giuliani and spends hours railing against refugees and their kids, people who are trying to do what Italians and many others have done in America forever — that is, give their families security and safety by coming to New York City. Throughout American history, people like Sliwa called them names and “illegals” as if they are all thugs and criminals. In case anyone does not know, many of Sliwa’s and Giuliani’s Italian forebears who flooded into NYC were Mafia thugs and gangsters.

Today, it looks like Sliwa’s hero Giuliani, who is also broadcasting on WABC on his own show, looks to be close to wearing an orange jumpsuit in federal prison, where he sent so many others. How long will both of these total hypocrites be allowed to get paid for broadcasting on WABC by its owner? How long will their voices reach millions of Americans every day on the radio? I personally think it is time for the owner of WABC to send them packing like the station did to a real American hero, attorney Ron Kuby, years ago. John Penley

Kearny, N.J.: So, Donald Trump wonders if President Biden is on cocaine! What is his excuse for his performance on Jan. 6 at the Capitol? Joseph F. Catrambone

Morristown, N.J.: In the Senate hearing scene from “The Godfather Part II,” an associate of the Corleone crime family says he never dealt directly with the boss, Don Corleone. He states that the family had a lot of “buffers,” or middlemen, put in place so that evidence could never be traced directly to the boss. This sounds exactly like the strategy that the Biden crime family uses, hiding behind buffers and shell companies set up to make it almost impossible to trace anything back to the big guy, the one taking up space in the White House. Sadly, the Bidens are also aided by the corrupt Department of Justice and FBI. So, who are the real criminals? Despite Democrats and the media attempting to deflect blame and hide the truth, the answer is obvious. President Biden is, and has been, a career buffoon and criminal. He’s the one who should be indicted. Frank J. Perry

Davis, Calif.: After four years, Biden has suddenly decided that he actually does have seven grandchildren, not just the six whose stockings have been hung by the chimney with care during all his White House family Christmas celebrations so far. In a statement to People magazine, newly inclusive President Biden said, “Jill and I only want what is best for all of our grandchildren, including Navy.” The sincerity, rather than possible political utility, of this newly acquired concern for his hitherto rejected 4-year-old granddaughter is deeply touching.

Hope, R.I.: Could Kamala Harris be the Generation Z whisperer of 2024? Cuz that’d be handy! Signs point to yes. Art Hayek

Commack, L.I.: It was extremely disappointing to learn that, while the U.S. Senate unanimously approved a bipartisan resolution making Aug. 3 Tony Bennett Day, the House of Representatives chose not to vote on it prior to leaving for summer recess. New Yorkers will never forget Bennett, one of our most beloved and honored entertainers. Out in Commack, residents at the Gurwin-Lindner assisted living facility celebrated the life of the late singer and painter with a 90-minute tribute on Thursday, which would have been his 97th birthday. In addition to hearing about his illustrious life, his commitment to civil rights and his many accomplishments and awards, residents and guests were treated to video recordings of Bennett performing solo as well as with Frank Sinatra, Amy Winehouse and Lady Gaga. It was a fitting remembrance for a superbly talented, extraordinary human being. Rest in peace, Anthony Dominick Benedetto. Yvonne Fitzner

Bear, Del.: The MTA is leaking like a sieve from fare evasion and nobody cares. The district attorneys won’t prosecute, failing to do their jobs while law-abiding citizens who do pay will have to suffer another fare increase. Why even waste all the funds it will take to put together the NYPD and the MTA Eagle Teams to go after this violation? The city has become a lawless town with an out-of-control homeless population and migrants scattered all over. No worries, its citizens are leaving in a mass exodus. New York, New York — a hell of a town. Benjamin Rosario

Bronx: The MTA is about to release a new transportation system called ROI. Every fare paid will directly impact the quality of transportation service. The speed of the trains and buses will be efficiently managed by the amount of money put into the speedometer fare box. If riders want a screaming speed demon, then every fare counts. If riders want a slower train or bus ride skip paying the speed-o-meter. Bring along a river tube for a lazy ride. This new system will also eliminate the need for operators. Previously provided funds from ThriveNYC will employ psychologists and counselors on all buses and trains. A new service provided tax-free. Power to the people. Mark Walter

Sunnyside: I don’t understand why Debra Toppeta, president of the New York Press Club, is criticizing NYPD Chief Ruben Beltran for making it harder for non-NYPD personnel to access NYPD radio codes (“Tech is keeping public from listening to NYPD radio communications,” July 29). Chief Beltran, Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry and other police officers are concerned about keeping officers and other innocent people safe. The members of the New York Press Club are only concerned about their own agendas and their own egos. John Francis Fox

Bronx: I have been in a rehabilitation facility since May. One of the first things I did is subscribe to the Daily News. I can not get the paper delivered to my apartment. I can only get out to buy it once in a while. I really enjoy reading the paper when I can get it. Thank you for the best news I have read in months. Robert Rowe Jr.

Greenburgh, N.Y. I am the supervisor of the Town of Greenburgh, a half-hour from NYC. A number of migrants are being housed in a hotel here. I have spoken with some asylum seekers who would love to work. I have also been in touch with businesses in town that can’t find employees. Why can’t the federal government let asylum seekers obtain permits to work at businesses in need? Some in my town are in danger of closing because it’s so difficult to find employees. Let’s turn this migrant crisis into a win-win for everyone. Migrants need and will accept job opportunities that no one wants. Businesses that can’t find employees will stand a better chance of surviving. And asylum seekers won’t need to depend on government handouts while waiting for a determination on their status in the United States. Paul Feiner

Manhattan: On a day when Phil Mushnick and Amy Swearer take to task the insufferably arrogant, woke and vulgar U.S. women’s soccer team, the N.Y. Post’s Bob McManus summed up everything in his review of the movie “Oppenheimer.” Outlining the continuing murder of millions of Asian people, the first atomic bombs ended the carnage, though he failed to mention the 100,000 American combat deaths to that date in the Pacific campaign. The shameful, non-singing nor heart-covering soccer teammates should know that more than 1.5 million Americans have died in defense of our homeland and the free world, starting at Lexington and Concord. The red of the flag they disdain represents their blood. Asians on the team, and perhaps Jews? You wouldn’t be standing in mocking silence because your forebears, and thus you, might not have survived but for American blood. John Brindisi
