U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker speaks before a crowd of military members at the 41st annual Salute to the Military breakfast at the Beau Rivage Casino in Biloxi on Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2022. This was the first time the event was hosted since the pandemic began. Hannah Ruhoff

Silence

Sen. Roger Wicker has been one of the staunchest defenders of Ukraine against the Russian invasion. Why has he been silent on the new pro-Russian direction of the president? Why wouldn’t any Republican ever publicly disagree with whatever direction the president wants to take our country?

Trans activists

If you can’t see the sheer propaganda pushed out by trans-activist, leftist Democrats and megaphoned by liberal media then you’re hopelessly, willfully blind. They are constantly saying laws prohibiting trans participants in women’s sports will result in invasive medical exams to determine gender. Absolutely not true. A simple cheek swab one time will forever determine the biological sex. In most sports, particularly at the pro level, athletes are already tested for performance enhancing drugs. By the way, a cheek swab settles the issue across our entire society. Anything else is in the mind of the person and cross-dressing.

Dictatorship

America is fast becoming a totalitarian government led by a dictator. President Trump, Vice President Vance, Cabinet members and Congressional Republicans have violated their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.

Out of touch

There’s simply no doubt that the Democrat party is completely out of touch with the American people.

Mad at Maddow

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow had the unmitigated gall and audacity to say that President Trump’s comments about 13-year-old brain cancer survivor D.J. and his presentation to the young man of honorary Secret Service appointment were “disgusting.” D.J. was appreciative and his father, who has been with him throughout his cancer journey was also. So, it begs the question of how Maddow, who hasn’t met or interviewed either, could possibly make that comment. It’s because she is an uber-liberal displaying the narcissism, arrogance and Trump hatred that make them repulsive.

Amazing

Just when you think President Trump and the Republicans are making a big enough mess that the Democrats might have a chance in the next election, they go and blow their toes off with their stunts during Trump’s speech.

Shameful

As a 76-year-old veteran, this is the first time I have ever felt ashamed of being an American. Abandoning allies and aligning with Russia? What has happened to the United States? And now the VA is being cut by a draft-dodging president and his billionaire pals? Can’t you see what is happening?
