Not another celebrity President

Yonkers: Oprah Winfrey has many wonderful qualities: intelligence, character, integrity, humility, compassion — qualities that Trump sorely lacks. But they have one thing in common: lack of experience. We love Oprah, but if there’s one thing we should’ve learned from our current nightmare, it’s that we should not elect the inexperienced (among other things). There are plenty of good candidates out there. Celebrity should never be a prerequisite. Suzanne Hayes-Kelly Hope, R.I.: If we are entering a period of celebrity Presidents, then we had better make it an honorary office with no real power, like the Queen of England. Just have them give state dinners and speeches and cut ribbons, stuff like that. Otherwise, we could get into trouble. Oh wait, we already are. Art Hayek Manhattan: Can we all be honest adults, and admit Oprah is the anti-Hillary (and that’s a glorious thing)?

Oprah has massive charisma, while Hillary has the least charisma of all time. (I detest Trump, but he can be a charming con man.)

Oprah is even more natural than Slick Willie Clinton (who is the ultimate charming con man).

Oprah has to run: A black woman being the first gal President would be two milestones for the price of one! America used to be a leader, but now we follow the rest of the planet.

Plus, Oprah doesn’t have to travel all over the country giving the same speech in gymnasiums like Bernie and Trump. (Hillary couldn’t fill a broom closet with supporters.)

We already know who she is; she has even better name recognition than Robot Hillary; she’s self-made; and she could beat Trump while only spending a few million bucks! No need for the giant, inefficient machine of normal campaigns. Forget that wasteful nonsense.

Oprah can talk to us online saving a billion dollars that Hillary spent to lose to Captain Imbecile. Janice Amato

Shut up and act

Woodland Park, N.J.: I was so looking forward to watching the Golden Globe awards, especially since Seth Meyers was hosting. What a disappointment that it was mainly about the new women’s movement. It’s pretty sad that these award shows have become places for political stances, and not about acting or the glamour of Hollywood. Oprah Winfrey deserved an award for sure, but when she started going on how women were treated, I turned the show off. I’m not looking forward to Oscars this year — and to think what a big party night it used to be! Jacqueline Loconsolo-Gates

The Rx train

Howard Beach: Dear subway riders: If you feel yourself getting sick or nauseous, get off the train and get medical attention at the station instead of holding up the commute. Call me insensitive if you want, but it’s the truth no one wants to say. Jairo Baez

Shot, chaser

Westmoreland, N.H.: I have bought Jim Beam whiskey for a long time and I will continue to despite the uproar over Mila Kunis’ personal behavior (“Jim Beam faces boycott over Mila Kunis’ Planned Parenthood donations under Mike Pence’s name,” Nov. 9). If she is fired, however, I will stop buying Jim Beam products since doing so would show that they do not support free speech.

The GOP’s white whale

Middle Village: To Voicer Drew Oringer: How many times should Hillary Clinton be investigated? How many ways? Until they find something? The Trump investigation will get the same treatment. Relax. Samantha Papaccio

Waiting for the miracle

Brooklyn: Voicer Bill Folz of Ozone Park isn’t alone in not getting his mail delivered. We live in Midwood and didn’t get any mail delivery between Thursday and Monday, even though we get daily “informed delivery” emails from the USPS with scans of the letters we should be receiving. As of Tuesday morning, the number of our undelivered letters totaled 20, not including undelivered magazines and oversized envelopes that don’t get scanned. Nobody answers the phone at our local post office (Vanderveer) and messages left for the customer service department at the USPS facility on Forbell St. haven’t gotten any response.

Hey, Mr. Postman

Brooklyn: Like Voicer Bill Folz’s Ozone Park block, my Brooklyn block did not have mail delivered after Thursday’s storm until Monday the 8th, at which time I received three days’ worth of mail via three separate deliveries. I was also expecting three packages, which the USPS tracking system said were “out for delivery” on Friday morning. The status of these packages was changed to “delivery exception” late Friday afternoon. In the meantime, I had one package delivered by FedEx and one by UPS on Friday. I suspect this mail problem was wide spread. One can understand no deliveries on Thursday and possibly Friday, but what happened on Saturday, two days after the snow, and whatever happened to the old Post Office motto, “neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night . . .”?

Mailing it in

South Ozone Park: Every comment Voicer Bill Folz made applies to my neighborhood, too. I spoke to the manager at my post office and spoke of the motto — “through rain . . .” — and she just stared at me. She had no idea what I was talking about. Our carrier comes so late, he has a flashlight attached to his hat like the miners wear.

Let them stay

Melbourne, Australia: Living in a small rural town, we saw those who had lived for less than 50 years in the town as just visitors — but that viewpoint has surely been relegated to the past in this globally connected world. Except, perhaps, in Trump’s America. How long does it take Salvadorans who have lived in the U.S. for several decades to be considered townsfolk? The Trump team has said that about 200,000 of these unfortunate souls will have to go “home” when surely they consider America to be their home. The situation is complicated by the 190,000 children who have born there. This would mean that these children could be future Presidents, since they were born on American soil even though their parents had been evicted. Dennis Fitzgerald

Rule the roost

Astoria: Re “Kin rip city in HS girl brawl,” Jan. 5): As a recently retired public school principal with 33 years as a teacher, assistant principal and principal, it has been my experience that a process must be followed to establish real discipline within our public schools. The only person responsible for this awesome task is the educational leader — the school principal. My suggestion for the leadership team at the South Shore campus is: Stop waiting for the police or school safety officers to do your job! Take an active role in patroling your school’s classrooms and hallways. It is a shame that in so many schools throughout this great city, the student body fails to recognize the school principal as he or she walks about. The visible presence of the principal is a constant reminder that the rules and regulations established from the first day of school in September to the last day of school in June will be enforced in an orderly and consistent manner.

Dog days

Sea Cliff, L.I.: So, a 23-year-old exchange student and his girlfriend adopted a chihuahua on Dec. 10. Less than three weeks later in SoHo, they left the tiny dog in an unheated, locked car in 10-degree weather at night. If not for a good Samaritan who called police, the dog, who was in shock and freezing, would have died. The student now claims the police overreacted, and plans to try to get the dog back. I hope not before he and his girlfriend are made to undress and sit in an unheated car in frigid cold and see how it feels. Lynne Larsen

Chasing a bad actor

REUTERS Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.: Re Voicer Lillian Zimmerman’s letter on getting billed much more than expected for anti-aging cream: It also happened to me, but I didn’t receive the free sample until after the two-week trial period, then I was automatically billed. I didn’t realize this until Chase called me regarding this charge, which I never authorized. They removed the charge from my account. Three cheers for Chase in detecting this and protecting their customers. Renee Keane
