Skelton: Reagan gave America hope. Trump offers venom and lies

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 10:35:23 GMT

The Republican Party will hold a presidential candidate debate at the Ronald Reagan library Wednesday. It’s a bad fit. The GOP’s modern idol is exactly the opposite of Reagan in personality and character.For upbeat Reagan, America was a “shining city on the hill.” For whining Donald Trump, it’s a waste bin for venom and lies.Reagan’s soaring rhetoric made people feel good about themselves. There was “always a bright dawn ahead” — “Morning in America.”Yes, maybe that was a tad naive and corny, but it brought a collective smile — and won over many Democrats.Trump spews hate — hate of immigrants and of Democrats. He demonizes his critics. He incites riots and insurrection.Reagan truly liked people. Trump merely uses them.But there’s a large hardcore of Republican voters who worship the guy, even if GOP leaders fear he’ll again drag the party down to defeat next year. He’s polling far ahead of his closest rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.As Times Washington reporter David Lauter recentl...

Opinion: Why undergrounding power wires is the best option for PG&E

In a recent editorial, this newspaper urged the California Public Utilities Commission to “prioritize protecting Northern Californians over utility profits” as it considers our four-year plan to maintain and improve the energy system.We couldn’t agree more that the CPUC must make the safety of our customers its top priority.Unfortunately, neither of the CPUC’s counterproposals to our plan would do enough to keep our customers and communities safe. In fact, they gut our long-term undergrounding program that would permanently reduce wildfire risk and cut funding for some critical gas-safety programs.We have proposed moving 2,100 miles of powerlines underground over the next three years at an additional cost to the typical customer of about $3.40 a month.Undergrounding reduces the risk of ignitions in areas at the highest risk of wildfire by nearly 98%. There is no more effective solution to reducing the risk of wildfire ignition from electrical equipment. However, the CPUC...
