Help from Trent & Gene

In these trying times, where are Trent Lott and Gene Taylor when we need them?

Get a MS license plate

Dave Elliott, Mississippi also has a license plate to protect dolphins, so your argument is weak. If you live in Mississippi, your car needs to be licensed in Mississippi. You are no more special than any of our hard-working citizens that live and work in Mississippi.

Congrats to Meggan Gray

WXXV-TV has hired a class act by bringing Meggan Gray to their station. This is WLOX’s loss and WXXV’s gain. You will see their ratings skyrocket because of this move.

Natural immunity not enough

Natural immunity was used by the unvaccinated who are sick and dying in hospitals. It is not good enough to protect many from COVID.

Biden to blame

This president is responsible for high gas prices. He stopped American energy independence and now we depend of foreign oil once again.

Religion & the vaccine

I don’t know who religious anti-vaccine people are following but it doesn’t seem like Jesus. Read what Jesus says in Matthew 22:37-39, 25:31-46, and John 12:34-35, 14:12.

Don’t defend Biden

As I have stated many times before, every time the left tries to defend Biden’s record they can’t do it without throwing a barb at Trump. This time it was about the economy contracting last year, which we all know was due to the worldwide pandemic. I do agree with the letter writer Biden should be given credit for protecting national monuments, something that has significantly improved my quality of life.

Educate yourselves

Educate yourselves, people. The supply chain has been disrupted because of the global pandemic. Manufacturing ceased and is slowly coming back up. Workers, including truck drivers, are tired of being abused with low pay and physical and verbal assaults. They will be happy to take over the good paying jobs those who refuse the vaccine will give up.

Trump’s 15 minutes of fame

I remember Trump and the excessive amount of lies and misinformation. I also remember the people he put into place that were either fired by him or investigated for improper job performance. I remember him telling us COVID would be gone in two weeks. I remember him spending $100 million of our money so he could play golf at his properties. I prefer to forget him and his conspiracies. His 15 minutes of fame are up.
