Silent or sheepish

There was a blurb where Wicker did express his disdain for the back-stabbing abandonment of Ukraine in a recent article, but he was quite sheepish and almost inaudible. I’m sure it was just a brief lapse in loyalty that will require a humiliating public apology

No help

I just called my 2 senators to express my thoughts on the abandonment of Ukraine’s U.S. intelligence links and war materials, Elon Musk and eggs. They both went to voice mail, will unlikely be heard and nothing will be done. I previously had gone to their websites last week and sent emails, got a hackneyed response from a do-not-reply email.

Get over it

Dear Fish Bone Alley writer--it is an alley, was always an alley and will be an alley. It’s a prime example of $300,000+ thrown away in Gulfport — one of many.

Crypto

While President Trump is ordering the creation of a reserve of cryptocurrency, he needs to simultaneously create a reserve of fairy dust. Either is equally fantastical.

Whoopi!

Anyone know Caryn Elaine Johnson? She’s a high school dropout that occupies a chair on a slanted commentary TV show called The View. The slobbering followers of Caryn hang on her every observation. Caryn has no diploma, no degree and no credibility. Yet she spouts garbage that makes no sense and no validity.

Awful speech

I am proud of the Democrats for showing their dislike of President Trump’s horrible speech. His was the worst speech I’ve ever heard, between lies and hatred being the main part of the speech. They had every right to object, they didn’t yell the way the GOP did in the past.

No mandate

“Jealousy“ is delusional when he makes the statement “going against 80% of the voters.” The fact is that Trump beat Harris by a little less than 3% of the popular vote and his total was not even 50%.
