Hunter Biden

Kudos to the Trump Administration for eliminating Hunter Biden’s Secret Service protection.

I’m happy

While you are whining about problems not being solved on Day One, you’re purposefully ignoring the facts that egg and gas prices are down, the southern border is now actually secure, our nation is becoming safer because criminal migrants are being shipped out, the warring parties in Central Europe are talking about a path to peace, and we are identifying wasteful spending, fraud, and abuse in government. I don’t know about you, but it’s everything for which I voted.

Why fight it?

Can anyone explain why Democrats are fighting to keep illegal immigrants who are known criminals from being deported?

Law and order

The law-and-order party sure does seem to have a hard time following the law.

Saving money

To me it seems like we should be looking at government efficiency rather than saving money. It will probably result in saving money anyway, but to re-organize anything based on money should first be analyzed for better efficiency. With all Elon Musk’s government grant rewards and President Trump’s vacation trips to Florida, saving money doesn’t seem like the goal anyway..

What I want

I hope Ocean Springs brings in new restaurants such as Bonefish Grill and Copeland’s of New Orleans.

Drug prices

The cost of the class of drugs known as GLP-1 inhibitors in America is ten times what the same drugs cost in Western Europe. It’s understandable that drug companies have huge expenses in research, development, trials and production of new drugs which, like any product or service, need to be recouped and profits earned. However, there doesn’t appear to be any legitimate and logical explanation for such discrepancy besides unadulterated greed and rapaciousness. That type of myopia just invites federal regulations.
