Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.
Securix
The more I read about Securix, the more I wonder how many elected officials and other high-ranking folk are getting rich off the little guy.
Remember when?
People forget the president of the United States was Donald Trump, not Joe Biden, when Jeffrey Epstein died.
Truth Social
President Trump is even getting hammered on his own social media site. Guess it’s time to find something to district the masses with ... oh, look ... Biden’s autopen.
Hard to believe
Gosh, it sure is hard to believe that President Trump could be involved in an Epstein coverup. I mean, it’s not like there are hundreds of photos of the two of them together. It’s not like he’s ever given folks reason to doubt his truthfulness.
There’s no list
Look, if the Democrats had anything at all on President Trump, we’d have seen it by now. Even if it was bad for them, too.
Total failure
Every story is another one about the total and complete failure of all officials involved in the Texas flood. And, wouldn’t you know it, they’re all Republicans.
So sad
Texas flood alerts were delayed as officials waited for authorization, a former Kerr County official says. Recordings provided to CBS News showed first responders asking for an emergency alert to be sent as early as 4:22 a.m on July 4, but dispatchers delayed because they needed special authorization.
Null and void
Any pardon signed by Joe Biden’s autopen is null and void. And he knew it, because somehow the only pardon that had his true signature was Hunter Biden’s.
Friend or foe
In what world do we live where the President wants to place a 35% tariff on ally Canada while doing nothing against Russia despite their relentless bombing of Ukraine?
Illegal
Yes, arrest those illegal farm workers. Arrest those farm owners. And sit at your dining table and watch your plates get emptier and emptier.
Trouble
In a current article distributed by CNBC, the author ranked America’s ten weakest state economies most at risk in a recession. You guessed it. Mississippi ranked near the top at number 2.
Railroad tracks
Could we get a redo on the Highway 49 railroad crossing at Creosote Road? That crossing is bone-jarring. There is no lane that is better than the other. Who signed off on this disaster? I liked it better before it was worked on.
Go home
If you entered this country illegally, you are then residing here illegally. Take the DHS offer to self-deport and perhaps have the opportunity to return legally one day.
