asserted
Hits → say → US
Trump asked Ukraine to stop bombing Russian diesel depots, blaming Ukraine for the astronomical price of diesel — while seemingly forgetting about what is going on in the Strait of Hormuz, after he instigated a war while negligently misapprehending the possible fallout.
asserted
he → ask → fallout
Do any of his supporters ever question this man’s ability to run this country, or why so many are disturbed by his fecklessness and its fallout?
asserted
many → question → fecklessness
I rarely agree with former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, but she’s 100% right: The sky-high prices for gas and diesel are “Trump’s fault.”

that → plan → K
What do you think these toilets will be used for?
asserted
toilets → think → What
As my grandmother told me, “First, think of the consequences”: $4 million down the drain.
asserted
grandmother → tell → drain
The Bronx
I submit it’s a total lie when the city says the toilets will cost $235K per unit (“Zo takes the throne,” Sept. 16).
asserted
Zo → submit → throne
I worked on automatic public pay toilets (APTs) for the New York City Council Planning and Land Use Division many years ago.

I → work → Division
Every time, the city opted not to install APTs because they were grossly expensive to buy, maintain and construct — along with fears of crime and terrorism: We feared that some idiot would place a bomb in one.
asserted
idiot → opt → one
I doubt the administration factored in finding a site for these ADA-compliant units on crowded New York City sidewalks, or the cost to connect the APTs to water, sewer and electricity.

attendant → maintain → units

asserted
that → think → much
In a city with a huge budget deficit, wasting money on APTs is irresponsible.
asserted
wasting → waste → APTs
The smart move is to forget about APTs.
asserted
move → forget → APTs
