Imagine
I’m trying to imagine what FOX News would have sounded like had a Democratic president been on the golf course while Wall Street cratered and four dead servicemembers were being brought home. I mean, it’s not as big a deal as President Obama’s tan suit, I admit, but seems like a big deal nonetheless.
Golf vs. respect
Our president felt it was more important to play golf with the Saudi Arabians then to be present for the 4 dead military members returning home after losing their lives in Lithuania for our country. The Lithuanians had more respect for them than our own president. It’s disrespectful and inconceivable.
History repeats
While Rome burned, Nero played his fiddle. While our 401(K)s burn, President Trump plays golf.
Collusion
You just can’t help yourself. It’s still a lie, all the Russia collusion and Democrat lies that were made up by Democrats for Democrats to believe.
No plan
I sure wish our mainstream media would investigate the use of paid anti-Trump protesters. But sadly, they won’t. The Democrats have no plan for our country other than bashing Trump.
Think about it
I mean, you’re not going to be able to retire and your next smartphone might cost $3,000, but just listen to how nice “Fort Bragg” and “Gulf of America” sound. And what about “Mount McKinley?”
Too far left
I am not sure when the Sound Off became so far left. It doesn’t represent the opinion of the majority on the Coast. I guess the old saying is true, “empty vessels make the most noise.”
What we voted for
American voters should have done their homework before they voted for Donald Trump. He bankrupted his own businesses, and now he’s going to spread that to American citizens and bankrupt them. How gullible could you have been?
So what?
The Monday Sun Herald has an article decrying the loss of $6 trillion in the stock market. Wait just a minute. Didn’t President Biden give away $7 trillion of taxpayer money? Didn’t Sec. Buttigeg give away $1 billion of taxpayer money to the domestic airlines? Did any needy people get a dime of the $7 trillion giveaway? Did airline service improve after getting a free $1 billion...or did the service get worse? Did they drop the ridiculous “baggage charge”? No, they increased it. No wonder the news media ranks below used-car sales personnel. “Balanced and fair reporting” is just a fairy tale.
60 Minutes
Can’t wait to hear all the complaints about the 60 Minutes report on how we’re sending innocent men to prison in a foreign country. And firing people who admit it. So this is what we’ve become, huh?
Hope he’s right
President Trump has brought the USA to heel. Now he wants to bring the world to heel by using tariffs. What troubles me about the latter is the man cannot admit defeat even when he is defeated (he has said explicitly “Never admit defeat” and he still won’t concede that he lost the 2020 election). Therefore, if his tariff gambit doesn’t work, he will drag the entire world down with him rather than admit he was wrong. We’d better hope he’s right.
Wrong
The left doesn’t want President Trump to fail. The stock market losing money affects us all. Social security collapsing affects us all. The left wants Americans to demand clean air, clean water, health insurance that covers medical bills, and a government that works for all Americans. The left wants you to realize when someone is trying to weaken your country
