High gas prices

It’s hard to believe that people still believe that presidents are responsible for high gas prices

Set your own term limits

We do not have to wait for congress to enact term limits. We can initiate term limits today by never vote for an incumbent, because long serving politicians are the problem, not Republicans or Democrats.

Thank you for getting vaccine

With all the nonsense out there today, I want to take the time to thank everyone who has gotten vaccinated. Thank you for caring enough about our community and my family to get vaccinated. I appreciate you. It is because of you our covid numbers are clearly going down.

Blame Biden

Yes, blame Biden for the current problems in the U.S. He is the president. He was supposed to be the senior politician with all the answers. All of the Trump policies he undid on his first day in office have led to most of these disasters. Changing our energy independence began this free fall, along with this open border. If the people he delegated to deal with these issues are not up to the task fire them. The Trump policies were working. The Biden policies are not. Don’t blame Trump for Biden’s incompetency.

Biden is doing a good job

Joe Biden passed the Child Tax Credit which has helped millions of Americans pay their bills. He has attempted to pass election legislation to ensure all Americans are able to vote. He reinstated protections for National Monuments. He is passing an infrastructure bill, and finding ways to protect our society from extreme weather events. Under Trump, the economy contracted 3.5% last year, and inflation is a global phenomenon.

Just get the shot

You protest for women not to have a choice on abortion rights but you can protest a mandated vaccination that has killed over 700,000? Get over yourselves. Just get the shot for goodness sake.

The unvaccinated at Stennis

Seems to me the unvaccinated Stennis employees should be praying for all of those who may have caught COVID and died and for those who may, in the future, be infected by these very same self-centered, uninformed and uncaring employees. Do they not understand that God gave the individuals who developed the COVID vaccine the intellect and ability to provide a simple and safe way for humanity to survive this terrible pandemic? Please fire these people and send them packing.

Two sides of religion

Religion makes some people wise and compassionate. It makes other people narrow-minded and self-centered.

Thank God for vaccine

How about praying and thanking God for the wonderful scientists, doctors and nurses who developed and administered three COVID vaccines, and ask God to let all those who are not vaccinated to see the light and get the shot.
