Lawlessness

Criminals have it easy for the last four years. Particularly shoplifters. I’m looking forward to Donald Trump and the Republicans putting some teeth back in our laws.

Climate change

I love how all the climate change deniers on the far right suddenly embraced the “hoax” when it became a talking point to justify why we need to acquire Greenland. Do they think we are too stupid to see through this?

Please stop

Donald Trump again and again promotes untruths. Trump falsely tried to tie the New Orleans attack to immigration. The attacker was Texas-born and an Army veteran. Stop promoting hate and address the border issue. The laws are already in place, just execute them.

Greedy

Elon Musk wants smart foreign people so he can pay low wages that smart American people would not work for. Musk is watching his money pile up.

Your guy

Vladimir Putin launched 70 missiles into Ukraine on Christmas Day. Why are you supporting this guy? Oh yes, he’s Donald Trump’s ally.

Not so bad

I hear and read a lot about how bad the drivers are in Mississippi. Well, if you ever want to feel good about Mississippi drivers, take a trip to Texas. They are the worst.

Playoffs?

None of the top four seeds made it into the semifinals of the College Football Playoff. Maybe we need to figure out a better way.
