Spend space-travel money on lagoon
The massive pollution of the Indian River Lagoon can be averted by using the impending resources of artificial intelligence (“Blue Origin’s wastewater plans add to Indian River Lagoon concerns,” Dec. 3). Instead of burning all that fuel exploring the possibilities of traveling to Mars or other planets, simulate those experiments with the power of scientific human ingenuity enhanced by the power of quantum computers. The probability of success would likely be the same, except the latter would avoid the pollution of the Indian River Lagoon and the atmosphere of Florida’s East Coast.

Trump’s ICE monster is voracious
Donald Trump’s masked ICE thugs in Operation Swamp Sweep are marauding through the streets of New Orleans with a goal of deporting thousands. Trump’s already vowed to get rid of Haitians, Venezuelans, Afghans and the latest: Somalis. Will Trump outlaw Cajuns next? Kristi Noem, Tom Homan and Stephen Miller could have a hard time with that.
In Miami and across the U.S., citizenship ceremonies have reportedly been canceled so ICE can scoop up more people before they can become naturalized. They have even grabbed some natural-born citizens. It’s like Trump’s Department of Homeland Security is a hungry monster, never getting its fill. ICE appears to be unwilling to find out who people are before they throw them to the pavement, handcuff them, or in the case of a college student who came here as a child, shackling her and sending her back to Honduras. Wow! Don’t we admire the new face of America?
How much more of this will it take for Congress to stand up and impeach someone who I see as a rogue president who hurls lawless directives then nods off during Cabinet meetings? (He’s definitely not “woke.”) Clear-thinking people are demanding his removal from office.
