RIP
The passing of John Amos leaves us all a bit sad. A great actor and writer that made me laugh when playing Gordy the weatherman and angry as when defining Kunta Kinte. He enriched my life in ways it’s hard to describe, but I’m sure our loss is Heaven’s gain. Rest easy, John
Get them off the road
Today, after nearly committing suicide by cutting me off on Pass Road, four teenagers on a golf cart live another day to try again. Judging by their reaction, they thought it was hilarious. Unfortunately someone will have to die to jolt our “leaders” into realizing that allowing golf carts on city streets is a stupid, stupid idea
Voter fraud
The Biden-Harris Department of Justice is suing the state of Alabama to stop it from removing non-citizens from the voter rolls. Are you starting to understand what is going on?
FOX News
FOX News is the only major news station to pay $780M to Dominion Voting Systems for promoting false stories about voting machines being rigged. You can’t be educated watching one station.
Not a problem
Voter fraud is essentially nonexistent. Our election system makes it just about impossible to vote illegally. The rate of voter fraud is way under a tenth of one percent. Republicans keep making it an issue because they want to stop certain people from voting. Senior citizens, people of color, and college students tend to vote Democratic, so they are targeted.
Obvious
Did anyone else see this coming like I did? Donald Trump rushes to a hurricane-ravaged state to be there first so he can ask where President Biden and Vice President Harris are, and lie that they don’t care and are doing nothing to help the people. He is a shameless opportunist, and a most predictable one at that.
Money
All these commercials and pleas for help about the flooding, and all I can think about is the billions President Biden sent to corrupt Ukraine.
