Sound Off for May 2, 2022
Hurry up
Did MDOT not give the company constructing the two small bridges on U.S. 49 in Gulfport a deadline to complete them? It hasn’t been because of rain that they rarely work. They need to continue to work until they are finished and open the bridges.
More details
The alleged shooter in Wednesday’s shooting, Jeremy Reynolds, died of smoke inhalation? That’s all we’re going to get? Where did the smoke come from? Did the teargas canister start a fire? Inquiring minds want to know.
The Congressman
Myself and many conservatives I know on the Coast are eager to re-elect U.S. Rep. Steven Palazzo. He has performed exactly as the conservative Coast that elected him expected. He votes in support of conservative issues.
Variety needed
I just read where we are getting yet another Mexican restaurant. Yeah. (Insert sarcasm here). The Mexican restaurants are so thick now you can stand in the parking lot of one and fling a Barq’s bottle just about to another one. How about some variety Gulf Coast?
TV news
A Sound Off writer suggests giving specific examples of how the “liberal” media lies and Fox News doesn’t. I think that is an excellent idea. Let the games begin. Please write in to Sound Off with your examples of lies. It’s going to be a massacre for Fox News.
Balanced opinion
Another day, another bashing of President Biden. Your Sound Off section should reflect a balance of political opinions. Biden didn’t cause COVID, supply issues or the war (forget the fact it was Trump, who years ago said the virus would be gone by summer and pushed back on masks, fundamentally causing more deaths, and also stalled Congressionally-approved military funding to Ukraine.) Apparently criticism of Trump is off limits for this publication, and facts are ignored.
Biden’s performance
Friday’s Sound Offs were a preview of what to expect leading into the midterms. Generic and broad statements about Biden’s bad performance, name calling and demonizing the “woke” and liberals, and anti-everything. If your candidate cannot state what they stand for and how they will serve its constituents, then you should question why you support them.
