Sound Off for Dec. 2, 2019

What would happen?

Harvard has played Yale in football since the 1870s. At the game this year, protesters ran onto the field after halftime to protest climate change. Students and some faculty were involved with the protest, which delayed the second half. What do you think would happen if protesters ran onto the field at the Mississippi State-Ole Miss, Alabama-Auburn or LSU-Texas A&M football games?

Climate change

Workshops, conferences and lawsuits against the Bonnet Carré Spillway and/or the Army Corp of Engineers are a waste of time. They are not the enemy. Rain falling up north must drain into the Northern Gulf. Warm air holds more moisture and as the climate warms, there will be more rain and floods. If you’re upset about the water released from the spillway, do something useful about it by doing something against the causes of our warming climate.

Obama legacy?

Obama legacy? There are no facts to support the claim Obama should get the credit for our booming economy. In fact he told us to get used to the stalled economy because a great economy was a thing of the past.

Nonsense investigation

Mark my words, this scandal will be so big it could be the end of the Demoncrat Party. Everyone from the top to the bottom has knowingly participated in this endless investigation of nonsense they created. It will absolutely be the end of Joe Biden.

Illegal act?

No one is saying the guy living on the bench by Edgewater is a bad person. What people want to know is how can you live on the sidewalk? Where do you think he goes to the bathroom? Plus, it’s illegal. Signs on beach say no camping.

Not hard

Don Jr., Ivanka, and Jared were very rich and successful before Trump became president. However, Hunter Biden's only resume was that he was Joe's son. Millions and millions of dollars are not given to unqualified people. He was only hired by companies in Ukraine, China, and Romania to give them access to the White House. That's not that hard to understand.

Safer country

If banning assault guns and severely restricting gun ownership made a country safer, then Mexico would be the safest country on earth. Everyone knows how safe Mexico is and why its inhabitants want to flee, right?

Bad answers

Every person who gave answers the Democrats didn't like at the impeachment inquiry will now be investigated. This is our government at its finest.

Staying last?

With the election of Tate Reeves, it looks like Mississippi want to stay last in everything.
