Sound Off: July 2, 2025

Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Biloxi traffic

I must respectfully disagree with the Sound Off that was critical of the Biloxi Police Dept. about its handling of traffic during big events. I think the BPD does an outstanding job. Scrapin’ The Coast was billed as the largest such gathering of cars, trucks, and motorcycles, in the country. The BPD and its mutual aid law enforcement agencies are to be commended, not criticized, for the job they did.

So much winning

Amazing the anti-Trump and anti-USA liberal spin which continues on the lamestream media, even with such good news. We have a secure border, Iran has been stopped, NATO countries will increase spending, the economy is on the upswing, American pride has returned, .military enlistment is up and normalcy has returned. They just can’t stand it.

Pick a side

It’s pitiful that Democrats in this country would trust the Iranian government over their own. Iran has lied for years about everything, including nuclear capabilities. Whose side are you on?

Shoot the messenger

Not the slightest bit surprised that President Trump’s glorious victory in Iran has proven to be a lie. Also not the slightest bit surprised that he wants to prosecute anyone telling the truth about it.

They’re good

Don’t worry about New York City and California, they are thriving. Blue states pay more federal taxes than red states because they have more revenue. You need to worry about Mississippi.

For sale?

What are all the MAGA folks going to do with their Teslas now that Dear Leader and Rocket Boy have broken up again?

BBB

Delusional Democrats seem to think President Trump controls the entire Congressional government. If so, why is it taking forever to pass the tax breaks, no tax on tips and overtime?

Big, beautiful boondoggle

It sure seems like the Republicans are only for reducing the government when Democrats are in charge.

Amtrak

I’m excited that Amtrak is back on the Coast. I’m also concerned that I might be the only one excited about it.

Be worried

Every reasonably intelligent citizen should be concerned that President Trump’s new DOJ hit squad just fired 3 more of the Jan. 6 prosecutors.

Global warming

Global warming is increasing and killing more and more people. Those who deny the reality and seriousness of global warming bear some responsibility for those deaths. That’s harsh but true. Decades ago scientists identified major causes of global warming, but many people jeered at them and resisted actions that would have at least slowed warming down. Now, instead, more people are dying and suffering from the heat, weather patterns are growing more harsh, fresh water resources are declining, tropical diseases, insects, and creatures are moving north. If we get serious it may not be too late to slow down this disaster. No wonder Elon Musk is so eager to get to Mars.

Arrest them all

Yes, arrest all the people in the country illegally. Also arrest the businessmen and businesswomen employing them.

Republicans

Republicans believe in lowering our federal debt, until they don’t. Believe in being financially conservative, until they don’t. Believe in individual rights, until they don’t. Believe in states’ rights, until they don’t. Believe in the US Constitution, until they don’t. Believe in the US not getting involved in the affairs of other countries, until they don’t. Believe in high moral standards for politicians, until they don’t. Apparently they believe everything and anything, until they don’t.
