Heavy clouds are seen Monday above Biloxi City Hall. Cloud cover will make it unlikely that Mississippi Coast residents will get a good look at the Monday’s eclipse. Tim Thorsen Sun Herald

Thanks, Biloxi

Kudos to the City of Biloxi for re-striping Pass Road. It looks great. There are so many negative comments in Sound Off about the cities, I thought it would be refreshing to recognize the Biloxi for the good work they are doing.

Genocide

It’s completely reckless of the Sun Herald to print the May 15th Sound Off promoting genocide. The media has lost its credibility in these matters. Genocide is wrong, regardless of who is being killed. Do better.

Birthright citizenship

Good on President Trump and the Republicans for seeking to put an end to birthright citizenship.

Beware of gifts

President Trump once called Qatar “funders of terrorism.“ Now, he wants to accept an airplane from them. What could possibly go wrong? Can you say Trojan Horse?

FEMA trouble

In words of warning to his employees, the current acting FEMA administrator said “I will achieve the president’s intent. I am as bent on achieving the president’s intent as I was on making sure that I did my duty when I took my Marines to Iraq.” This makes it pretty clear that the current administration is not about serving the people of the United States. They are about serving and glorifying the wanna be dictator who sits in the White House. We are going to be in big trouble this hurricane season.

Not equal

So, the mayor of Newark and some congressional Democrats should be jailed for assaulting police officers, but the Jan. 6 attackers are patriotic victims? Y’all need to get your outrage together and be consistent. But at last, FOX News must tell you what to think and say first.

Great experience

My wife spent last week in the Ocean Springs hospital. I can only say great things about all of her caregivers. She needed lots of attention and promptly got it every time she called the nurses’ desk. They were consistently polite and friendly. They were pleasant to be around. The staff made my wife’s visit so much easier.

Seeking credit

Thankfully, President Trump is trying to now work a peaceful nuclear deal with Iran. Oh, that’s right, we had one under President Obama that Trump immediately pulled out of showing the U.S. cannot be trusted in standing up to its international agreements. Guess now if Trump gets a deal he’ll want all the credit for saving the world from nuclear war.

Tattoos

All tattoos are not professionally done. Have you ever seen some of the tattoos on prisoners? It is very possible that MS 13 gang members do not wish to go to a public tattoo parlor to get gang tattoos and have someone in the gang do the tattoo. Ergo, you have a crude tattoo.

Improvements

While driving in Gulfport, I saw two major street improvements. Both were access roads near businesses. I guess I’ll have to rezone my street so we can get sidewalks.

Dozing duo

First we had Sleepy Joe. Now we have Dozing Donald. If we can’t have a competent, honest president, let’s at least get one who can stay awake.

THC soda

Four different flavors of THC Seltzers are advertised in today’s Sun Herald grocery section. These drinks will stone you. Teenagers are big fans.
