Sound Off for Jan. 30, 2022

Bad editing

The editor of the Sun Herald has zero skills with the news. Biden has the entire world on the brink of WWIII and the paper’s headline today is about something that happened two years ago. People want current events, where inflation is, the price of goods and local events before they happen.

Good call

Finally, Judge Neil Harris has done the right thing and not allowed Scott Walker to access funds while he and his father still owe thousands. Kudos to the Sun Herald for continuing to follow this case. Many thanks to reporter Margaret Baker for continuing the excellent work done by Anita Lee, who previously reported on this case.

Just an opinion

The Liz Cheney Sound Off was not stated as a fact, but an opinion. It is an opinion based on information coming out of the state of Wyoming. The opinion must have hit a nerve ... but you can research her recent popularity trend in Wyoming.

Be an example

Bagging trash might solve a small portion of the problem for the trash collectors, but people also need to quit littering. Our streets, highways and interstates are an embarrassment. Asking people to bag their garbage is like asking people not to litter. It’s not going to happen due to laziness, lack of pride for where they live and lack of enforcement. know it’s impossible due to the current population and their lack of respect for anyone else, but we all need to do our part! Be an example and don’t litter.

Just the facts

The Jan. 25 Sun Herald article, “Mayo Clinic experts debunk COVID-19 vaccine myths,” was excellent. No crazy opinions, just facts backed up by science. Good work. If it could be reprinted for free, that would be nice.

His demeanor

Well, well, the hot mic. It appears President Biden may have the same demeanor when confronted by journalists as Trump did.

Not up to it

I’m just an old man who has been around the block. Yes, facts are important but I dare say you can “find” facts to support any premise. Fact: Mussolini got the trains in Italy to run on time. Truth: He was still a despicable dictator. Fact: President Joe Biden turned 78 years old as he was sworn into the White House. Truth: He sure ain’t up to the job.

The vice president

The last year that a sitting Democratic vice president was passed over for the presidential nomination was 2016. Biden was pushed aside in favor of Hillary Clinton. The last year that a sitting Democratic vice president was elected to the presidency was Martin Van Buren in 1888. The percentage of registered voters who disapprove of the job Vice President Kamala Harris is doing is 54%. She has done absolutely nothing on any job handed to her by the president.

Keep safe

Nobody is asking you to not keep a gun in your home. We are asking gun owners to keep us safe and not let others use it. Everyone who has a gun should have a permit in their name.
