Doctors’ visits

If the White House has been visited by neurologists frequently this year, it’s probably due to President Biden researching how to curb the epidemic of mental decline in the 46% of our adult population that can only see and act red.

Project 2025

Everybody, regardless of political views should research the conservative Project 2025 plan. Donald Trump is mentioned over 300 times in the manifest. Now that people are learning about what it does, like gutting Social security and Medicare, he is saying he knows nothing about it, although he has been spouting some of the plan in his speeches.

Not a cult

I don’t disagree with many of the derogatory statements about Donald Trump because a lot of it is true and he deserves much of the criticism he gets. Most of his supporters are just normal people so continually attacking them reaches a new level of despicable. When you say his supporters are cult members simply reflects on yourself. It’s time to look in the mirror and ask yourself ‘what’s wrong with me?’

Correct definition

The word racist is the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another. White people need to stop calling Black people racist. We are claiming equality. Nobody’s trying to declare anybody inferior, but there are those who do claim superiority.

Baldwin walks

The American justice system: If you have enough money or fame and you can get out of anything.

Time to go

When your own party, especially the Democratic party, turns on you, there’s simply no chance of moving forward.

Still better

Repeating President Biden’s questionable fitness for duty will not drown out Donald Trump’s lies, fraud and lack of a platform. You are just a follower if you can’t admit he is the worst choice for the Republican Party. Mike Pence would have been better. Tell me again why he is not running on the ticket as vice president? Oh right, he was hunted on Jan. 6 by followers of Trump because he refused to steal the election from Biden. And, he does not endorse Trump.
