Sound Off for Sept. 30, 2020
He did well
Joe Biden and the Democrats make ludicrous claims that President Trump “failed” in leading us through COVID-19. He has been excellent throughout. He formed a task force promptly, following their guidance and leading with positivity. He marshaled resources, government and private, to meet respirator and hospital bed demands. And he got us out front in the hunt for a vaccine. In Europe, during March, they played full stadium soccer games without masks or social distancing.
Here’s hoping
Several actors and musicians have announced that they will leave the country if President Trump is re-elected. We can only hope that both things happen.
One take
Oregon has more than a million people than Mississippi. Last weekend, Oregon had its 547th COVID-19 death while we recorded our 2,918th death from the virus. Oregon officials are very concerned, while most of us here could care less.
Biased media
I have had it with the media following every Trump comment by falsely, wrongly and without evidence stating his comments were stated falsely, wrongly or without evidence.
A question
Question: If Biden has the answers to solve all of America’s problems, why didn’t he tell Obama?
Big time
Hey, Picayune is officially in the big leagues. Driving through town Sunday I noticed that attorney Morris Bart has a billboard on Mississippi 11 north. We are on our way, baby.
Be aware
Everyone coming to Mississippi for Crusin’ the Coast should be made aware that we are one of the four touching Gulf Coast states with over 3% of our population having contracted COVID-19. This is the highest of any region in the country, and a serious threat to gathering crowds.
Thank you
To all the folks that drive North Cleveland Ave and Allen Road in Long Beach: Thank you for taking the time to stop and wait for the geese to cross the roads. It’s an uplifting sight to see folks slow down or even stop for this daily “geese crossing.”
Bad parenting
While sitting in my car at the Edgewater Mall parking lot on Saturday I witnessed an adult female (possibly a mother) with 3 teenage boys returning to their car and right there in the parking lot the adult female is encouraging them to fist fight. She holds their phone as they violently start attacking each other. The fight only came to a halt when I yelled at this woman and told her I was calling the police. What kind of adult would encourage this behavior?
