Kennedy trolls
I can only imagine how President John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy Onassis would be sickened by their foul-mouthed, spoiled brat of a grandson, Jack Schlossberg (“Kennedys’ heir-head,” Feb. 7).
The disgraceful way he targets both relatives and outsiders shows just how far we’ve fallen from the Camelot days.
(Though his mother isn’t exactly blameless either.)
All he’s demonstrating is how desperately he wants to be relevant.
Perhaps he should go back and watch some of his grandfather’s and uncle’s speeches to understand what they were really about.
How lucky we are that he deleted his social media.

Chairman Trump
Of all the things that our rampaging president is doing to unalterably and negatively change our country, one of the most absurd has to be his takeover of the magnificent Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (“Quitting Kennedy Center,” Feb. 14).
President Trump is a man who has never demonstrated an appreciation for art and culture. His interest lies largely in sports, especially boxing.
How long will it be before the venerable institution is renamed Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts?
Who will receive the once-prestigious Kennedy Center Honors in the future: Hulk Hogan or Mike Tyson, perhaps?

Transplant reality
Refusing to implant a donor heart in an unvaccinated patient is based on science (“How Heartless!” Feb. 13).
Recipients of heart transplants receive immunosuppressive drugs to lessen the risk of organ rejection.
These drugs increase the risk of infections, including influenza and COVID, which can be fatal.
What’s truly heartless is losing a transplant recipient — and the donated organ — to a preventable illness, while 3,500 Americans on the transplant list await the life-sustaining gift of a new heart.

Dim-light decision
It no longer shocks me to see “sane-washing” articles in many mainstream newspapers (“Trump to nix Biden restrictions on water-using appliances, lightbulbs: ‘Common sense standards,’ ” Feb. 11).
Why would a headline include “common sense standards” when the President Trump is demanding that the United States return to technology from the late 1800s and early 1900s?
It seems that Trump’s obsession with an earlier time is now driving policy in his administration.
LED lights are both energy-saving (up to 80%) and longer-lasting than the outdated technology of incandescent bulbs.
The average household can save up to $600 per year by using LEDs over traditional bulbs.
Using expensive, climate-damaging technology just so an old man can look younger seems a bit crazy.

Rainbowland
Just when you thought American politics couldn’t get any sillier, Rep. Earl “Buddy” Carter is trying to rename Greenland to “Red, White and Blueland.”
(“Going for Greenland,” Feb. 11).
I had to double check the date to make sure it wasn’t actually April 1.
The situation is especially odd, considering that President Trump has reduced genders to male or female officially (despite reality) in an effort to defenestrate the colors of the rainbow.
You’d think that “Red, White, and Blueland” would be too flashy for Trump.
