Super Bowl LIX

What a show the NFL and city of New Orleans put on. Great job by everyone involved.

Another idea

Gulf of the Americas is a more appropriate new name, considering it includes all the most northern Americans in Canada, all of the most southern Americans in Central America and South America, and all the land mass in the middle.

Until proven guilty

We always hear the saying “Innocent until proven guilty” by the legal system. I don’t really understand this. Our jails are full of people awaiting trial. Do we incarcerate innocent people in this country?

Bulldozing Gaza

If you see any videos of what Gaza looks like now you can understand why something has to be done to make it habitable. I don’t think President Trump wishes to take over this land for himself or the U.S. I have heard of no solution other than his as to how to get the Palestinians back home. Start with an idea and build on it with other nations in the area.

What we wanted

We voted for President Trump to expose government waste. Taxpayer dollars are being given away for stupid reasons around the world. Yet some want to hide the ridiculous gifts.

DOGE

I hope, but doubt, that Mississippi is one of the nineteen states that sued the Trump administration to block Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from accessing taxpayer records, including the Social Security numbers and bank account information of millions of Americans.

Meddling

For someone who campaigned on putting America firs, Trump is interfering in a lot of other countries’ affairs.
