Editor, Manteca Bulletin,
Have you noticed something about recent letters from Frank Aquila such as his most recent “(Maybe Martians helped Trump win”) that ran Dec. 27? Give up? Here is a hint: There are no more attempts to persuade us of the Communist ties with Democrats such as Hillary Clinton. I can’t blame the man. With Trumps ongoing Bromance with Russian Communist dictator, Vladimir Putin, it makes any such further attempt laughable at best. (Not that it always was anyway, right?)
In this latest episode of Aquila’s post-truth world, we find Aquila playing cupid to the Trump/Putin Bromance, refusing to admit Russian hackers interfered in our Presidential Election on behalf of Putin’s Puppet, our own Twitter Tweaker,  Donald Trump, whose election will forever be tainted by the Russian Hackers. Aquila claims there isn’t an “…ounce of evidence.” Really? Then I wonder why his own Republican Party leaders, John McCain and Lindsey Graham are leading the way in the Senate to impose sanctions against Putin personally and the Russian government for that very reason?
 I understand Trump’s ignorance on cecurity issues since he doesn’t even take the Daily Security Briefings that every President and President Elect has done since they began the practice, plus he has said “Putin says nice things about me” and he doesn’t want to start a lovers quarrel of sorts. But Aquila watches Fox News and even they have reported what McCain and Graham are set to do. I suppose Aquila is part of those Trumpets that believe every Tweet the Tweeter Tweets. (say that five times). But please...
Aquila brings up the Clinton Foundation (again) but conveniently forgets to mention that before the votes were even finished being counted, the Trump Children of the Corn, started up a Foundation of their own where they were selling time with the President Elect, coffee with Ivanka and hunting trips with the Trump boys. It included the $1 million “Bald Eagle” package (which included a photo opportunity with the president-elect) or the $500,000 “Grizzly Bear” package (which included a hunting trip with Qusay and Uday Trump)
For the life of me I still cannot understand why Aquila continues to replay the campaign, especially here in True Blue California. Apparently he does not know California voted for Hillary over Trump by 4.5 million votes. Think about that number for a second... Does he think he can put a dent in that number by being as ignorant as Trump when it comes to National Security, or just ignoring well documented facts? Well if he does, I have a Great Mexican Border Wall I will sell him.... again.
