Immigration

I was amaze.d by the Sound Off “We have laws.” Yes, as a matter of fact we do. Let’s start with don’t illegally cross our borders. That in itself is a crime. You sound like a liberal judge.

Incredible

Here are two of the stories on sunherald.com today: 1. The president is abolishing the Dept. of Education. 2. The Mississippi state Senate has passed an income tax bill with massive math errors in it and the governor is excited to sign it. Chef’s kiss.

Hurry up and wait

When I was in the military, I had appointments and dreamed of the day where I was out of the military and have free time. Nope, now the VA is always setting me with appointments, and I never have any free time. Won’t the madness ever end?

Sinking stock market

I remember when President Trump tooted his own horn as the stock market reached the “sacred” number of 30,000. When it approached 40,000 under President Biden, he tried to take credit for that. After a couple of losses, candidate Trump immediately labeled it “the Kamala crash.” There was no crash. Today, as his erratic policies have sent the markets tumbling, he tells us they are not an indicator of how things are going and he doesn’t think about the market, so neither should we. Anyone can see that he writes the narrative to take credit or shirk responsibility, neither of which is rooted in reality.

Cyberscrap

Are cybertrucks falling apart, transforming, or just decoupling their rocket stages?

Smoke and mirrors

The Education Department, like many other EO targets, cannot be dismantled without the approval of Congress. Let’s go to the polls.

What’s next?

So, if we dismantle the Department of Education, what’s will replace it? You don’t dismantle anything unless you have plans to recreate it. Unless, your goal is to destroy public education all together.
