Remembering Trump
Liberals are really good about telling conservatives what they don’t understand. They say the supply-chain problem would have been the same under Trump. And what proof do they have of this supposed fact? None. Because it would not have under Trump. Trump was a pro-active commander. Something we never see with a Democrat at the helm. Best example is the Afghanistan debacle. How quickly did that leave the front page?
Great words
Thanks Mr. Steve Delahousey for the great opinion letter you submitted to the Sun Herald. It brought a tear to my eye. Thanks to all the frontline medical workers and scientists that are battling diseases.
GOP religion
Perhaps the Stennis employees that held a prayer rally should be praying for the 700,000+ that have lost their lives to this pandemic, or better yet pray for the health care workers that have put their lives on the line. I suggest they read Steve Delahousey’s letter to the editor in the Sun Herald. Obviously they don’t realize that some common drugs have been developed using the same cell lines. They way I see it, for the most part, it is a religion of the GOP and not the religion of Jesus.
Tax the rich
Should taxes be raised on the super wealthy? Yes. They are super wealthy because they charge us more than they need to for their goods and services. If we can’t stop them from gouging us with excessive prices at least maybe we can force them to contribute more to our military, infrastructure, and social programs by taxing them more.
Great job
The president is doing a great job. What’s wrong with all you right-wing people? Oh, I forgot this is Earth, not Mars. Sorry, my mistake.
A question
Why have live ammo on a movie set if no one has to killed?
Too expensive?
Went to Walmart and saw the beginning of empty shelves and prices way out of reach for many working people. All along the roads were “help wanted” signs at most of the businesses. I don’t care which political side is to blame, but something started this downfall of our lifestyle. Maybe term limits will stop the corruption and downfall.
Feeling sad
Listening to a new podcast, I ran across one episode featuring a Belgian woman and another highlighting several tour guides from Colombia. No doubt all of these people learned most of their English by listening to Americans. What was shocking was that they had all picked up the worst of our modern speaking habits. “Like“ was thrown in frequently, “sort of“ and “kind of“ were in the most inappropriate parts of their sentences and, of course, “you know“ was sprinkled liberally. Not only have modern American patterns ruined American speech, the rest of the world has adopted our bad habits. I am deeply saddened.
