Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Imported seafood

I just read the article about the new law on imported seafood. A local restaurant owner said that people don’t really care where it comes from. I disagree. Locals want our fresh, local seafood. Maybe he should have said “tourists don’t really care” because they don’t know the nasty conditions in which imports are raised. His remarks were very telling about his business practices. Locals, beware.

New stadium

The Handsboro Mississippi City group meets every fourth Thursday at the Handsboro Civic Center on Switzer Road. We will be waiting on Gulfport High School’s visit to explain details of the new football field.

No FEMA needed

El Presidente has told us there is no climate change so there is no need for FEMA or for budgeting to repair homes which won’t be damaged. When will we see this paradise?

TDS

Need a clear example of the twisted minds and black hearts of those infected by Trump Derangement? Take Houston pediatrician Dr. Christina Probst, who fired off a social media post that blamed the Texas flooding on Trump “gutting” FEMA, MAGA voters and climate deniers. She said they got what they voted for.

Not so Christian

How in the world can the Republicans, who mostly claim to be Christians, strip the food aid from starving children all over the world?

Epstein list

Use your ears. Attorney General Bondi said the FILE was on her desk. She said nothing about a list of clients. This is how erroneous rumors get started.

Floods

Since Trump is to blame for this year’s flooding in Texas, who was to blames in the prior centuries?
