Sound Off for Nov. 26, 2021
Paying tolls
Consider this: In my hometown, our new bridge also had a toll to pay for it. Years after it was paid for, the toll dragged on and on. Why? The city/state politicians got used to that money and didn’t want to let it go. Long after the locals had paid for it, many times over, we finally got rid of it. It wasn’t easy.
Listen up
State legislators do not listen to us. We voted for medicinal marijuana. We want teacher pay raises, increased minimum wages and elimination of the food tax, to names a few. Now they are promoting eliminating the state income tax that we don’t want or need.
On watch
My feeders aren’t being used as much while the squirrels are fattening up on acorns and birds are eating berries and seeds off other plants during the fall bloom. They’ll be back.
Double standard?
There is a big push for alcohol detectors in vehicles but none to detect those stoned on “medical” pot.
Where to look
If you know what brand of fridge you want, try looking online for the manufacturer’s sales website. Many use local distributors, and some brands offer free and prompt delivery, as well as installation and removal for a price lower than the local chain stores charge. If you look thoroughly, you should be able to purchase a model on sale. I have seen fridges that are as much as $500 below list price.
The president
President Biden will release 50 million barrels of oil from the nation’s strategic reserve. Since we use about 8 million barrels per day just for autos, this amount will be practically unnoticeable. This is a token move to take high fuel prices off the news for the holidays. Look at all the negative consequences of this set of anti-Trump energy policy decisions by Biden. Not one tangible, positive outcome in the reversal. Another abject failure by Biden.
More Biden
Am I the only one who gets sick to his stomach and loses his religion every time he sees Biden or hears Biden on the television spewing out his constant lies? I worry every day whether anyone will be capable of saving this country after four years of Biden’s destruction of this nation.
God help us
We truly have a gaggle of imbeciles running, or should I say ruining, our country. And the left-leaning media fails to do its job as guardians of our democracy. They are nothing but ideological lap dogs. May God help us.
Stop tweeting
The economy is not bad. Unemployment is down and companies are making record profits. The only thing different is the daily tweets of doom, gloom and malice.
