Good question

The question has been asked: Why doesn’t Mississippi allow early voting? Wouldn’t it be more efficient and easier to vote?

Bad examples

It is tragic that a young girl took her life because of bullying in school. Yet Mississippi is about to vote for Donald Trump, who is a master at name calling and negativity. Our children will inherit the world we have made.

Tuesday’s choice

Do I like Donald Trump personally? No. Do I think he would be the best of the 2 choices we have to lead this country? Yes. Democrats need to realize that they would have to live with Vice President Harris’ policies just as Republicans will. I don’t think any American opposes any immigrant entering this great country legally. Inflation is down some, but remember the thousands of dollars the current administration has cost you the past 4 years.

First time for everything

Please quit bashing Donald Trump for not being able to open a garbage truck door without almost falling over. It’s the first time he’s ever opened a door himself, and he does have pretty small hands.

Which is it?

The Postal Service is talking out of both sides of its mouth. In a single article it says it is saving $3 billion a year and, simultaneously, says that implementation of changes may cause labor and handling cost increases. No surprise. It’s the government.

Who cares?

Please explain how the rich, with their 10-foot walls and security, matter in a election year for those struggling to make ends meet? Nobody cares what they think. They’ve got it made.

‘Garbage’

President Biden called Donald Trump’s supporters garbage. Is that all you heard this week that was derogatory? If so, it’s all you heard just from the sources you listen to. Which is lying by omission and feeding you only information that you agree with.
