Back to the moon and more: Letters to the Editor — April 5, 2026

Billions were spent on this project to send astronauts to the moon (“New space age launches,” April 2).

What is the benefit? Was a cost-benefit analysis performed? Would that money be better spent on cancer research and helping our veterans? I think it would.

All the pieces are lining up for regime change in Iran

NYC migrant shelter corruption arrests are just the tip of the iceberg

Fascist actor Rob Schneider, who’s never put on a uniform, has the audacity to demand that “every American, at 18, must serve two years of military service” (“Actor: Reinstate the draft,” March 30).

I suggest that only old geezers who harbor such views be forced into two years of involuntary servitude.

Miranda Devine is right on target in calling out Democratic Providence Mayor Brett Smiley and Rhode Island Rep. David Morales for their cluelessness and insensitive cruelty in supporting the removal of a mural honoring Iryna Zarutska from the side of a Providence building (“Dems ‘bluewashing’ away crime shame,” April 2).

This young woman was stabbed to death on a train by a lunatic on the loose with multiple prior arrests, and these two elected dolts cite their “values” as reason for obliterating her memory. What kind of people are they?

The sadder fact is that these hapless political hacks were elected by every day, witless voters who are apparently oblivious to the meaning of the words compassion, empathy and “values.”

Your article headline completely misrepresents what happened on Palm Sunday in Jerusalem (“Holy hell for shut church,” March 30).

Jewish prayer gatherings were also banned for reasons of security during this time when missiles have hit both public and private places in Israel. It’s sad that reporters did not provide this context. Jerusalemites have had to keep near bomb shelters 24/7 as life in the city is now quite precarious.

If New York was under attack, would the city allow public gatherings? Jerusalemites are now isolated at home like they were during the pandemic.

It’s hard to imagine an article complaining about red-lined school districts without any mention of charter schools (“End Public-School Legacy ‘Redlining,’ ” Tim Deroche, PostOpinion, March 31).

Without the disruption associated with redistricting, charter schools could be expanded to give parents a choice of educational opportunities for their children. Furthermore, the state could increase the number of charters, if teachers agreed.

Look into forced busing that was tried decades ago. That spurred the growth of suburbia.

I don’t know what people expected food-delivery fees to be when the intellectually challenged politicians raised the minimum wage to $17 an hour (“They’re not lovin’ it,” April 1).

Didn’t they realize that prices would reflect the increased labor charges?

Wait until Mayor Mamdani raises the minimum to $30 an hour. And if affordability is so out of control, who is actually having a Big Mac delivered?
