Being specific

When quoting the Bible, Christians should always specify the book, chapter and verse of our quotes. Where does the Bible say that life begins with the first breath?

Please share

This is a response to the “booming economy” Sound Off. Please share where you are investing as the stock market with my investments has been down for some time. You must be in another world with President Joe Biden.

Read the paper

Letter writer wants to know why the economy is so bad when their investments are up. Today’s Sun Herald answers that question with article from the Associated Press saying inflation is at a 40-year high, stock prices are sinking, Federal Reserve is making borrowing much costlier and the economy actually shrank in the first three months this year.

Exam needed

In order to get a drivers license, become a lawyer, doctor, nurse, teacher or professional in most any other high-paying job, you must pass an exam to prove your competence for the job. Maybe we should require aspiring lawmakers to complete an exam on the Constitution before we let them rule our lives.

No separate ballot

In response to the writer who wanted evidence that FOX News lies, I submit the biggest untruth of all time, the big lie. If the 2020 election was actually rigged and stolen, as our former President and FOX News claim, then explain how other politicians on the same ballet were legally elected and ironically they don’t seem to have a problem with their election. Think about it. The president is not elected on a separate ballot.

Don’t understand

Help me with this. If I punch a three-month pregnant woman in the stomach and the fetus dies, I would be charged with murder, I guess, because the unborn baby is considered a human being. If a three-month pregnant woman intentionally aborts the fetus, she will not be charged with anything, I guess, because the unborn baby is not considered a human being. Someone please help me with this.

Why?

Why are we sending billions of “our” money to one of the most corrupt nations? Here we are policing the world again.

Leaked information

President Biden made a point to address leaks about information being given to Ukraine. He was speaking to top national security officials. Has anyone heard about him talking to the US Supreme Court about leaks?
