Donald Trump could cure cancer and many of your readers would find something wrong with it.
Say what?
Donald Trump wants to purchase Greenland, take over the Panama Canal and make Canada the 51st U.S. state (by the way, Canada is larger than the entire United States.). Do these ideas sound rational? They are rants of a delusional lunatic. And he will soon be our president again. World leaders must be totally amused by his unchecked ego and immature compulsiveness. My 10-year-old nephew even laughed at the absurdity of these ‘ideas.’
Insurance
To the person in Waveland: You’re not alone. My insurance increased 10-fold, having also never made a claim. I contacted Sen. Hyde Smith and she referred me to the MS insurance commission, which was of no help.
Toxic masculinity?
Salon put an article out comparing toxic masculinity to ISIS, related to the New Orleans terrorist attack. The fact remains 22 veterans commit suicide every day. Proper health care could help.
To be a Christian
A Sound Off said that as the Constitution defines Americans, the Ten Commandments define Christians. The Ten Commandments are wonderful, but do not define what it means to be a Christian. To see what Jesus says is definitive to being his follower, read the Sermon on the Mount (chapters 5-7 of the Gospel According to Saint Matthew), and in that same Gospel read chapter 25, verses 31-46.
Not impartial
Judge Aileen Cannon must be held accountable for major contributions in disregarding standard legal norms and practice to support Donald Trump, who appointed her as a federal judge in Florida. This inexperienced federal judge failed to proceed with prosecution of Trump’s classified document theft and his role in Jan. 6 insurrection. Now she had blocked the public release of Special Prosecutor Jack Smith’s years long investigation results. The public should demand to see the truth.
Muzzle him, already
Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff said she doesn’t control his behavior. Well, someone needs to. Gulf of America?
Good ideas
Regardless of your political affiliation, taking back our Panama Canal and the purchase of Greenland aren’t bad ideas. Sen. Fetterman also agrees. Make America strong again.
The best
President-elect Trump might be the best at trolling the legacy media and Democrats in the history of America. With a single word he can set The View ablaze. It’s awesome and fun to watch.
Let go the shackles
Times have changed. Thirty years ago DVDs were brand new. The browser Netscape introduced the public to the internet. We used dial-up access to our email. We had no smartphones. Don’t strangle creativity, entrepreneurship, innovation and boldness under layers of bureaucratic nonsense, inefficiency and self-serving government oversight. By all means let’s not hamstring our progress into the future with horrendous, burdensome taxation, which is the default setting for Democrats at every level of local and federal government.
Disrespectful
It’s cowardly for someone who never served in the military to criticize someone who has. And for that same someone to critique those who were in combat is hypocritical. Shut up and salute.
Marketing to who?
I received a magazine with an advertisement for the Donald Trump Presidential Coin. A 9k gold coin goes for $449.95; a 5 oz. silver coin for $799.95 and 1 kilo silver coin for $4,000. Who exactly is he expecting to buy this? Surely, not his base, which complains about the cost of food and gas.
