Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.
So long
Greg Gutfeld has put another liberal Democrat out of work. Stephen Colbert is the latest to need a podcast.
Come out with it
I am long-standing Republican, however with the recent comments on the Epstein investigation, I and my wife remember watching Pam Bondi saying she had the files and you won’t believe who’s on the list. This is not going away. Whoever is on the list you might want to think about doing what America wants, for better or worse.
Burning food
Snopes, the rumor investigator, confirms that the State Dept is burning $800,000 of expired food at a cost of $130,000. The State Department claims that this isn’t unusual, which several aid workers dispute saying they had “never seen the US Govt simply give up on food that could have been put to good use.” This is DOGE at work saving taxpayers money.
Gone to the dogs
While I can appreciate all of the new dog exercise equipment at the Popps Ferry dog park, how about some lights for the human kids that play sports on the fields next door. Two years ago we were told they were going to be installed so the kids can play football and soccer after dark but still no lights. At least the dogs are happy.
Winning
The Democrats are getting hammered. The only message that they have is “Everyone, you have to hate the orange man.” Meanwhile, in only a few short months, the economy is getting better, the border has been sealed without any help needed from Congress, the job market is improving, and the Democrats are desperately hoping America will begin to fail somehow.
Epstein list
So now, President Trump changes verbiage. It’s not “credible” information he wants released in the Epstein case, it’s now only “pertinent” information. Regardless of verbiage, Trump, DOJ, Bondi, and their judges control release of details in the case including the client list. Bottom line: we”ll never see it.
Not funny
So we shouldn’t take President Trump seriously because he’s joking? What about saying how beautiful his daughter is and he’d probably date her if she wasn’t his daughter? When is that ever funny or appropriate?
