“I voted” stickers await those who completed their ballots at the St. Martin Community Center in Jackson County Tuesday morning. A big turnout is reported across the state, with few problems at the polls. Hannah Ruhoff Sun Herald

Voting

The Mississippi voter turnout in the general election was only 58% of registered voters. That’s terrible in a free Democratic country. People with a vote can’t be bothered to exercise that constitutional right. If by the luck of the draw you found yourself in a country where you had no voice, vote, independence or freedom, how desperate might your pleas to the heavens to have some say in your life? Next time you have the opportunity, please vote. It costs you no money and precious little time.

Communism

Republicans have always hated Communism, yet now they are supporting Russia’s leader, Vladimir Putin, because their cult leader, Donald Trump, told them to. Don’t you guys know that Putin is a hard-core Communist leader? He attacked Ukraine because he wants more land and power. Once he conquers Ukraine, he is going after Poland. If Trump wants to be a good president, he needs to tell “his friend” to pull out of Ukraine now.

No experience

To the person who is worried about Donald Trump’s cabinet appointments having no experience, I suggest you look at the ones President Biden appointed. Talk about no experience, and we survived. So let not your heart be troubled.

Change is coming

Knowing that America voted overwhelmingly for change, it’s not surprising that the establishment is scared of what’s coming. It should be.

Ukraine

Publicly announcing we have given permission for Ukraine to use our long-range missiles might cause WWIII. I guess Democrats do not want to go down alone.

Trump’s Cabinet

Hate all you want on Vice President Harris, she certainly was right about at least one thing: When Donald Trump goes off the rails, there will be no wise, experienced, qualified officials there to rein him back in. His Cabinet picks are atrocious and dangerous to our security and once he rids himself of all those pesky checks and balances, God help us.

What an actress

I think Melania Trump missed her true calling in Hollywood. Her once-in-a-blue moon appearances where she holds hands with her husband and smiles for the cameras almost look real.
