They’re different

President Biden made a very difficult decision and dropped out of the race because he loves his country more than he loves himself. What a shame the same can’t be said for criminal Donald Trump.

Why now?

The Democrats have watched President Biden fall apart for the last two years, at least. And they’re just now getting around to forcing him out? Where was their concern before the polls went south?

A good one

Thank you, “Living Well” Sound Off-writer. I actually liked the very annoying exercise antics of Richard Simmons, Keith Richards is a musical treasure, and I bet both would laugh if they heard this one.

No substance

You wonder why Donald Trump can’t stop attacking his opponents? Because he has nothing else to offer. He killed the border bill, crime is down, joblessness is down and the economy is steady.

Saving democracy

So, President Biden won. Millions of Democrat voters stood in line to vote for him. He captured 4,000 delegate votes all across America compared to just a handful earned by someone else. However, just it’s looking like Donald Trump is headed to win against him, the party elites sat down in that smoke-filled back room and planned. Yep, they’ve planned how to “save democracy” by negating all the voters who didn’t vote correctly.

Who is the president?

If President Biden is as bad off as he looked on the debate stage, and if his health is such that he can’t fulfill his role as the Democrats’ presidential candidate, how are we supposed to believe he can continue on as president until November?

Hard-working

The idea that Blacks receive special treatment in the workplace is an excuse for your failure to succeed. Many Blacks in charge have worked their way up the ladder after being loyal to their jobs. So, go back to school, get a skill and stop blaming everyone else.
