OK now?

Mississippi legislators are now on board with early voting. I guess it worked for them in the national election, so now voter suppression is no longer needed. By the way, what happened to all the claims of fraud we heard during the entire campaigns.

Ukraine

It may be time for President Zelenskyy to shut up and listen to the adults in the room. His gravy train has run out of American taxpayer dollars and it’s about time.

Replacing FEMA

My understanding is that the states will not have to pay for disasters but will be given Federal grants to administer the help locally. Who better to know what’s needed in a particular state than the people who live there. Some folks appear to be listening to only half the news.

National debt

Is it just me, or do all other Americans understand the National Debt that we hear so much about? Seems like all politicians talk about it but don’t explain it. We are 36 trillion dollars in debt. Who do we owe this money to? According to Google, all other countries has a national debt except one. When we need to borrow a few billion dollars, who do we borrow it from? We now pay a trillion dollars a year in interest on the National Debt. Who do we pay this interest money to?

One flag

Sen. Cindy Hyde Smith is promoting One-Flag-For-All — it’s already the American Flag. There are at least a dozen flags already given exemption and can be flown. Instead of this, please focus on how you’ll save liberty, justice, and democracy.

Vance speech

If you caught Vice President Vance’s speech in Munich last Friday you got a treat. He took the European Union to task.

Free speech

President Trump has just started shutting down the free press. All dictators do this. Keep watching for for more media shut-downs.
