Medical marijuana
Mr. Governor: We, the 74% of the voters that voted for the medical marijuana bill, are tired of you dragging your feet on this issue. Now you want to change the way it was supposed to be. Remember the 74% who voted for this bill will certainly remember you when it comes time for your re-election and it won’t be to your liking.
Dr. Reeves
Where did Tate Reeves receive his medical degree? It seems that not only is he an expert on viruses and immunizations, but now he is an expert on medical marijuana. Why doesn’t he leave medical decisions to the medical professionals?
Deadbeat dads
Deadbeat dads is a very big problem, especially for the unfortunate children born to them. There is no way to shame those men into supporting their children, even if DNA showed the facts. They won’t believe it. Laws won’t change until there are lots of female lawmakers.
Side effects
For all the people wanting me to get a vaccination ..... I will gladly get the shot when I get a listing of all possible side effects, as prescribed by federal law. So far, the law has been circumvented and something smells fishy.
In this together
Congratulations to our brave little heroes standing up and bravely getting their vaccines. This is unlike the bunch of non-vaccinated, wimp adults. How hard is it to understand what “pandemic” means? We must all fight this together.
The border
Our border is a mess now because so many people are seeking asylum, mostly because of our negative interference with these poor countries. However, my point today is that no matter how Biden is handling the border problems, at least he is not ripping families apart, with absolutely no paperwork to reunite them as Trump did.
The climate
Apparently no one recalls John Kerry’s statement that America could implement every Green New Deal wish list item and reduce harmful emissions to zero, and it would make no difference on climate. Of course, he meant to put in perspective that our efforts had to be coupled with global efforts, but it was an unintentional candid admission of the Achilles heal of all the climate change religion. One, the world won’t cooperate. Self interested nations will happily let America break itself trying. Second, all of it is not in our control.
Heading home
Biden is criticized for traveling home to Delaware. Where was all this concern when Trump was traveling to Florida, Ireland and New Jersey to play golf?
Hypocritical action?
Why aren’t the anti-vaxxers protesting vaccine mandates for people who join the military and for school children? If they don’t protest those mandates too then they are being hypocritical.
