Crime motive

It is ironic from a crime statistics point of view when news reporters say a motive for the shooting is unknown or still under investigation. I know they mean we don’t know the underlying cause or why, yet the actual motive is to kill the person. It’s an intentional homicide. Likewise, severe aggravated assaults are in reality attempted homicides. Thankfully, unsuccessful.

Not truthful

FOX News lies. FOX News lies. Why doesn’t the Sun Herald print the lies that FOX propagates?

Please upgrade

Why are staff at Biloxi libraries struggling to work with 12 year old dying or dead computers while staff at other libraries in our county have new computers? Who can solve this problem?

Not winning

If you actually believe that Ukraine is winning a war against Russia I got a bridge to sell you. The Ukraines are fighting a good fight, but Europe is scared of Putin just like Biden is.

Obama visit

When President Obama was invited to the White House recently it was kind of a “hail mary” pass by President Biden’s staff to resurrect his image. It was inadvertently undercut by Biden himself as he wandered around the dais at one point after speaking and found everyone dreamily engaged with Obama. Biden literally and desperately groped around for a single person to shake hands with who might appear enthusiastic and make a good photo op. Worse, Vice President Harris literally stuck to Obama like super glue. If you think that was accidental, you’ve never worked in politics.

No cameras

If I’m in the hospital and need a bed or bath or change clothes and my body is exposed, I want privacy. I don’t know who has access to the cameras. No nude videos of me in cyberspace.

Liberal meaning

The word liberal implies openness to new ideas and opinions. Therefore, we Democrats post opinions. We have hope that the people of Mississippi have ears to hear with.

The president

I don’t blame President Biden for the various domestic and international events that are creating a deepening recession with increasing inflation. World events are hardly predictable. I do blame him for always being unprepared, under informed and slow to realize the consequences of world events. I blame him for always being late to the party and being ineffective when he arrives. This is the job and he signed up for it. So he gets no hall pass.
