Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.
Go to Canada
If you were ever thinking about traveling to Canada, you should be doing that right now. The exchange rate now is one Canadian dollar to 73 U.S. cents. That means if you want to buy some item or some service like a hotel night in Canada that cost $100 in their currency, the actual cost to you in U.S. dollars is $73. One American dollar equals 19 Mexican pesos, but since 2024 the State Department has cautions about travel to Mexico regarding violent crime and kidnapping potential. They also have “do not travel” to Venezuela for any reason advisories plus cautions about its border with Colombia and Brazil.
Democrats
It seems all that the Democrats can offer is to call President Trump ugly names.
Not funny
President Trump reposted a comment on social media that claims Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced by a clone. Looks like social media has replaced the National Enquirer and other magazines they used to sell at the supermarkets.
Big hitters
The one thing Gulfport does not need is more of the same billionaire and millionaire Trump puppets in Mississippi. The only tool average citizens have to fight for Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security is with the vote.
Defund Planned Parenthood
The federal government has no business funding Planned Parenthood to the tune of multiple millions of dollars annually. It’s not an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars. We’ve been told since the sixties that abortion is strictly a medically private matter between a woman and her doctor. That standard alone means public tax dollars should not be funding it. There are private practices in nearly every state should a woman want this procedure. Go there, pay for it yourself or get private donations. Planned Parenthood has expanded its services to trans individuals. What does that have to do with planning for parenthood or abortion? The rest of us don’t get federally funded plastic or cosmetic surgery. Save up your personal coins.
Thank you
I called 911 because I needed help lifting my husband off the floor after falling. They responded in minutes and were very professional. Thanks guys. Our tax money working for us.
Cleansing
Anyone notice how quiet the media is regarding the ongoing destruction of Gaza. The reason is media is not allowed. This is America’s true deep state at work controlling honest media, and its not Democrats.
