The Issue: President Biden and former President Donald Trump agreeing to two presidential debates.
Forget about Ali and Frazier, move over Holyfield and Tyson, the Fight of this century will belong to President Biden and former President Donald Trump (“Rumble is set,” May 16).
Joe Biden, in what can only be interpreted as a moment of clarity — or perhaps desperation — has agreed to not one, but two nationally televised debates with Donald Trump.
Biden’s team is obviously believing the polls and, with Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s attempt to put “The Donald” behind bars now looking as likely as getting the truth out of Michael Cohen, the decision has been made that they have nothing to lose by debating.
They must have thought the performance Biden offered at his State of the Union Address was indicative of some spark of life left in an otherwise “sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.” In any case, the fight is on.

In his “debate challenge” video, Clint Eastwood-wannabe President Biden thinks he can afford to infuriate voters with his quip about Trump being free on Wednesdays to debate, a reference to the trial in Manhattan.

Really, former President Donald Trump is going that route again?
The debates are being hosted by two media outlets that will definitely not conduct what I considered to be a fair debate. Just look at their history of covering Trump in the news.
Trump should only agree to a debate that will be run fairly. Why not bring in an independent moderator for a change? I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

I, for one, am looking forward to the debates between Biden and Trump. But I can’t help wondering if both debates will actually take place. Perhaps Biden will find an excuse to back out. Or maybe Biden won’t be the candidate by Sept. 10.
For all we know, there may be a surprise at the Democratic convention in August. If they do debate, what will it take to give Biden a cognitive boost to get him through?

The Issue: The alleged stabbing of a tourist in Times Square by man with 14 prior arrests.
Suspect Cyril Destin was videoed with a knife allegedly lunging at two women in Times Square — yet he had been arrested 14 times previously (“Kin: A Knife’s Enough,” May 14).
Something is terribly wrong with the justice system in New York. It would seem that are few consequences for criminals these days.

Leftist “compassionate” perspectives continue to abnegate the most basic and fundamental purpose of government: to protect and serve law-abiding persons.
We need to put these people in prisons or mental institutions.

I don’t see how anyone can be surprised about the violent crime, mental-health problems, recidivism and danger in New York. It’s time we finally start electing politicians whose No. 1 priority is citizen safety — and not criminal care.
