Holy moly

The moment you realize that no matter if you get vaccinated, your taxes provide aid for those whom are coming into the country illegally. The mandate is only for the citizens of the U.S.

Snowflakes

I can no longer support the Republican Party. They have turned into a bunch of snowflakes. Instead of promoting the unselfish and patriotic act of vaccinations and wearing masks in Public, they are instead catering to those who may get their feelings hurt.

Judgment patrol

Many of the judgment-patrol members refuse to look at themselves. A person wearing a mask or getting an injection is making a personal decision. Where is the same zeal when it comes to smoking or obesity? Let’s continue to make the political decisions that work for the individual.

Dark times

These are dark times for conservatives. The COVID virus is not going away by itself. Do we have a better solution? Not all conservatives are against the vaccine and mask but the “just say no to everything” camp is taking us down. Young people are not stupid.

Evidence

With respect to Mr. Turner, the man who was not vaccinated but got monoclonal antibodies, his reasoning is flawed. He said he will still not get vaccinated, ostensibly because there is not enough evidence. There is far more evidence surrounding the vaccines than there is on monoclonal antibodies.

Road to success

Sure, Mississippi politicians, attack President Biden, take over the federal government and run it the way you’ve been running the state. Tell me again, how does Mississippi compare to other states on economy, education and health? Who’s trying to distract attention from their poor accomplishments?

Hole in the fence

For the first time the mainstream evening news actually did an unbiased segment on the human sieve at our Southern border! Unbelievable. Hundreds of thousands of undocumented and unvaccinated persons have crossed our border in the past month. What is the Biden administration doing?
