Rewards

I find it very interesting that New York City would put up a $10,000 reward and the FBI adds $50,000 to it but United Healthcare that made $22 billion in 2023 didn’t even offer a dime for the murderer of their CEO.

Do something

President Biden is the definition, by his own inaction, of a lame duck president. Nevertheless, he is still the president. He has said nothing about the drones flying over New Jersey and as yet not one agency in the federal government knows who is responsible. No one has declared a no-fly zone in that area. Where are Secretary Mayorkas, the Department of Defense and the FBI? Shades of the spy balloons.

Hunter’s pardon

Not my idea but very likely: President Biden thought Vice President Harris would beat Donald Trump in the election and she would agree to then pardon Hunter, and that’s the reason for denying any pardon on many occasions by President Biden. When she lost, he had to renege on his commitment and announce his change of heart. Makes sense.

No shame

Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson should be an embarrassment for Congressional District 2. Thompson is a big talker that seems to achieve nothing. After decades in Congress, his district is no better than it was sixty years ago.

Try to help

Instead of spending all their efforts trying to do everything they can to hinder Donald Trump, why don’t the Democrats just try to do what’s best for our country?

Everywhere, signs

The appellate judge election is long over, but the signs of the loser are still visible throughout the counties. Please have the courtesy of removing them as they are beginning to be an eyesore.

Pave the road

Why is it not possible to pave Canal Road in Gulfport from 28th Street north to the bridge? Crews could work at night. If there’s a problem with who should pay, split the cost with cities, counties, government, etc.
