Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Washington Redskins

Donald Trump in 2013: “President should not be telling the Washington Redskins to change their name-our country has far bigger problems! FOCUS on them, not nonsense.”

Donald Trump in 2025: Long, rambling post in Truth Social about how the Washington Commanders should go back to their old name.

Change the name

Today’s attempt to deflect from the Epstein list: Let’s change the names of the Washington Commanders and Cleveland Guardians. That’ll get people talking.

Democrats

Why are the Democrats so in favor of illegal immigrants and lawlessness?

A suggestion

Since the removal of illegal people from the U.S., I noticed a backlash about who is going to pick the crops. What about using non violent criminals from across the country to achieve this? Time served and food on the table.

Biggest hoax

The biggest hoax is not about the Epstein files. The biggest hoax is the one that Donald Trump has been pulling on his followers. Many of them have honorable aspirations but have been victimized by an extraordinarily gifted trickster, a veritable “Artful Dodger.”

Shifting funds

How about we stop throwing ridiculous sums of money at coaches and redirect it to a merit-based pay system for teachers? This change could truly make a difference in the world.

Rain?

So it’s rain that’s causing the delays on Martin Bluff? It doesn’t slow down Jackson County or the Highway 57 project. Heads should roll over this ridiculous mess.
