Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

What you’ll get

The people: We want the Epstein list. President Trump: Best I can do is maybe rename the Kennedy Center for my wife. Hope that’s good enough for you.

Accomplishments

Yes, President Trump has accomplished more in 6 months than most presidents in 8 years. Unfortunately, it has been almost entirely negative.

Idaho killings

In watching the victims’ impact statements, Bryan Kohberger sat with no emotion. He did this to prove he was intelligent enough to get away with it. That’s a definition of a cold-blooded killer.

Note to Hunter

Being a good Dad, your father looked out for you. Understanding your filial devotion, your poor choices earlier in life make it a little hard for a sympathetic reception of your current complaints about the treatment of the public regarding his incorrect decision to pursue a second term after he had campaigned on being a “bridge” candidate. It’s hard not to be afflicted with the pervasive political hubris common to most politicians, and it seems your father was no exception.

Thanks in order

I would like to thank the neighbor or neighbors who repaired the large pothole on South Driver in Biloxi. I wish that I could have helped.

Medicaid

Madness. Twenty state AG’s have just filed suit against President Trump and the federal government to gain Medicaid for illegals.. Who are you working for, illegals or U.S. citizens?

Sad

America may be wining. America may be first. America may be great again. But my America has no heart anymore, and that is very sad.
