Proof

Those of you complaining that you haven’t seen proof of the waste found by DOGE probably don’t watch Fox News. However, Jesse Watters interviewed most of the members of DOGE on his show last week. The ridiculous items that my taxes are paying for is alarming. I would guess that because you are against all President Trump and Elon Musk are doing you would say their statements were fraudulent.

Traffic and safety

I am writing to express deep concerns about the growing traffic and safety issues surrounding the Service Drive in Gulfport, particularly in light of several major development projects planned for the area. The citizens of Gulfport deserve infrastructure that supports thoughtful growth—not one that endangers lives or compromises community well-being.

Indoctrination

Local media repeatedly show pictures of the black man involved in the Azteca’s shooting, yet pictures of domestic violence terrorists are barely shown.

Tattoo

Could you please send me your credentials explaining why you feel the tattoos on Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s knuckles are doctored. Have you personally seen them?

The religion problem

Sometimes I think the world would be and would have been more peaceful without religions. We would still fight over borders and other stuff of course (we are genetically wired to be internecine violent), but at least hostilities would not be triggered or amplified by religious differences.

Pope Leo XIV

It’s wonderful that we have an American Pope. All Americans should be proud, not just Catholics. Since his family has roots from Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the Pope and his family should be cautious about being in America. Trump could have them all deported, perhaps to El Salvador or Peru. Oh wait, the Pope already has Peruvian and American citizenship. Oh well, Donald, better luck next time a new Pope is selected. After all, if you have your way, you’ll be President for life.

Truth doesn’t matter

Jeanine Pirro, of a Fox News Entertainment Show has been appointed by Trump to be head prosecutor in Washington D.C. She is best known for her continual pushing of election fraud despite no proof and numerous courts across the country validating no substantive fraud. In fact, Fox News was sued and had to pay $787 Million for their false claims. Doesn’t take a genius to see where this is headed...more lies and distractions.

Trump’s FAA

Seems like that in Trump’s America, you need to cross your fingers and hold your breath if you’re flying into Newark. But I’m sure that’s Joe Biden’s fault, not the guy who has been in charge for months and been busy firing air-traffic controllers.
