Email request
Elon Musk’s email request wasn’t about “What did you do last week?” It was about the following: Are you a real person? Are you alive? Do you read your emails? Are you responsive? A genius way to narrow the search field.
‘Many decades’
Someone stated that Mississippi is ranked low because of “many decades” of Republican leadership. Here’s the actual breakout: Democrats held both the House and Senate from 1876 to 2011, the house till 2012. That’s 135 years running for the Senate and 136 for the house. Republicans have held both since 2012 or a little over 12 years. That’s the facts.
Microplastics
Recent research reveals that super tiny particles of plastic get into our bloodstream, accumulate in our brain, and can interfere with how well our brain functions. I think I need plastic surgery.
Hire Herridge
CBS news publicly displayed its left-leaning bias when they prevented award winning investigative journalist Catherine Herridge’s solid, documented report on Hunter Biden’s laptop from seeing the light of day in 2019. Later she was fired with lame excuses. Her professional work is impeccable, always thoroughly documented and sourced. Any time she’s on screen reporting I stop dead in my tracks and listen. She would be a treasure at any large media outlet truly interested in authentic, unbiased, just the facts reporting.
We have eyes, you know?
We are not calling people fascists or Nazis because they are in the opposite party. It’s because they are openly saying and doing things that fascists and Nazis do. They even give the salute. If you don’t want to be called out for what you are doing, stop doing it.
Control
This is not the first time one party has had the majority in Congress. Under President Obama, the Republicans had control of both houses, and they blocked everything he tried to pass. Leader McConnell even told the House to oppose everything no matter if it hurt the people. Now, Congress is passing anything Trump wants like he’s a king. We need checks and balances. See you at the midterms.
Letters?
To the writer of the “Post Office” Sound Off: What’s this “letter” thing of which you speak?
