America?

I was working under the impression that we believed in innocent until proven guilty. That being the case, we have sent an innocent man to a foreign prison and refused a court order to bring him back. On top of that, we’ve fired a person who pointed out that we made a mistake? Is that right?

Old Highway 49

I live in Harrison County, District 5, I want to thank Nathan Barrett and the Board of Supervisors for having Old Highway 49 paved to the Stone County line. It is surreal to drive on a beautifully paved road after all these years of driving over a pothole-infested road. Also, thanks to the road crew and company that actually did the paving. It is nice that the northern part of Harrison County has not been totally forgotten.

Meaningless

The liberal Democrat party and legacy media have used the term “Nazi” so much it no longer has any meaning. Like the Russia collusion hoax, it’s all a joke.

Short-term pain, huh?

The Trump tariffs’ stated goal to bring manufacturing back to the United States is nothing but a feel-good cover story; the real goal is to enrich government coffers to enable tax cuts for the super wealthy at the expense of American consumers.

Musk’s businesses

Elon Musk’s companies are objectively among the best in their respective industries. That is the result of his brainpower and that of literally thousands of his employees. That’s how his companies received multibillion-dollar government contracts before his association with Donald Trump and why they will long after Donald Trump is deceased. Your attempt to tie these together needs more brainpower. Perhaps Elon and his employees can help.

Reality

There is no such thing as an “American-made automobile.” They’re almost all foreign-manufactured parts assembled in the U.S.

Ignorance

Wow! Those seeking revenge on anyone left of them are actually attacking themselves, now? Bless them, for they are truly unaware
