Pay attention

Tesla has lost $700 billion since the election. And SpaceX’s Starship blew up (again) on launch. At that rate, the world’s richest man won’t hold that title long. Elon Musk needs to quit trashing the federal government and mind his own business(es).

Geopolitical furniture moving

What we have in Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump are two empire builders. Putin has said explicitly that the greatest geopolitical disaster of the 20th century was the dissolution of the USSR. He is intent on reestablishing that empire, starting with Ukraine. Trump wants to make the United States of America not only great again but greater than ever by acquiring Canada, Greenland, and Panama — and Cuba later. Taiwan will be ceded to China to keep it from objecting to the preceding geopolitical rearrangements. You read it here first.

Not ‘trying’

A comment in Sound Off says people are “trying” to attack Donald Trump. No, they are succeeding. What else are we supposed to do with the enemy, sit down and shut up when we see what’s really going on, or try to sound the alarm?

$400 million?

Why is the United States giving Columbia University such a large amount of cash when it cost a legal American $90K a year? Are we the taxpayers funding terrorists educations?

Losers

According to Rep. Jeffries, the Democrats have MAGA on the run. Over and over, sounding a lot like Kamala Harris’ word salads. What they have is a minor party, like independents. A losing strategy.

Is it legal?

I’ve looked online, but I can’t find any ordinances that address whether a resident of Ocean Springs can allow someone to live in an RV / trailer in their driveway.

You did it

Your 401 (k) is tanking, the president plans to cut 70,000 jobs at the VA, you’re going to be paying 25% more out of your pocket because of the tariffs. You voted for him.
