Had her chance
Does anybody really things will change with a President Harris? She has been vice president for 3 1/2 years and could have done all the things she’s promising to do now. I’m not saying vote for Donald Trump. Just saying politicians will say anything for a vote.
Best he can do?
I see that Donald Trump has now taken to misspelling and mispronouncing the Vice President’s name. “Kamabla” is what the smartest man in the world has come up with after much thought. Even Republicans have to find this cringeworthy. Putting all the other reasons aside, a 78-year-old man who lives in a world of elementary school children’s politics is not fit to serve this country.
Artillery shell
When I saw the picture in today’s paper of the artillery shell, I noticed what seemed to be a white nose marking. Do any of you artillery folks out there recognize this marking? My hazy memory says it is a marking used on practice rounds. Sometimes called “dummy” rounds.
Confusing
Keesler Federal Credit Union sent me an email and likely a mailing, wanting me to sign up to win Saints/Pelicans tickets, with an obligatory pitch for banking services. Why not just enter everyone who is a member of KFCU? Why pay all those monies to advertise a mostly vacant Biloxi baseball park instead of having rebates/giveaways to everyone who is a member of KFCU?
Scam alert
I received my second “crying woman” scam attempt this morning. After answering the phone, I heard a woman crying and saying she had been hurt and has a broken nose. She didn’t say a name, and as soon as I then said “send me the money,” they hung up. The first attempt was a call starting with crying woman who sounded like a relative saying she had been in a car wreck. A man then came on the line saying the crying woman ran into a pregnant woman while speeding and on her cell phone which was confiscated. The man portrayed to be her public defender. When I asked detailed questions about where it happened and without giving further information they hung up. Beware of the crying woman scam.
Useless
No leader in any country respects Donald Trump. Dictators, like Vladimir Putin, use Trump because Trump is so narcissistic that he doesn’t see that he is a useful idiot. He says he can just make a phone call to solve world problems. Then why doesn’t he make those phone calls now?
Voter ID
IDs or passports are required when you check-in at airports; if you attend the RNC and/or DNC you need an ID; at colleges or universities the students have student IDs; businesses may ask for an ID w?hen either using a check or credit card for purchases; if you travel to a foreign country you need an ID/passport and same when returning to the United States; and many more examples. So why is requiring an ID to vote such a controversial issue
